Last month Trump vowed to defend Christianity and urged Christians to vote for him

“This is really a battle between good and evil,” evangelical TV preacher Hank Kunneman says of the slew of criminal charges facing Donald Trump. “There’s something on President Trump that the enemy fears: It’s called the anointing.” 

The Nebraska pastor, who was speaking on cable news show “FlashPoint” last summer, is among several voices in Christian media pressing a message of Biblical proportions: The 2024 presidential race is a fight for America’s soul, and a persecuted Trump has God’s protection.

“They’re just trying to bankrupt him. They’re trying to take everything he’s got. They’re trying to put him in prison,” author, media personality and self-proclaimed prophet Lance Wallnau said in October on “The Jim Bakker Show”, an hour-long daily broadcast that focuses on news and revelations about the end times that it says we are living in.

Doesn't say much good about a person's god if Donald Trump is their envoy. Of all the people god could send, they chose him... 😏

May all pussies--man, woman, and every gender--be fortunate enough to experience the grab of his glorious, tiny, and orange hand.

Amen.

    If I believed that an antichrist could exist, I would be convinced it was Donald Trump. He is the opposite of what Christianity teaches yet somehow he's become their Messiah.

    Hilarious to me that trump checks nearly every box for the literal antichrist, and the Christian’s love him.

    How are some people so ignorant to all the terrible things he's done? No one ever fact checks on anything and it's seriously depressing

    Remember this is not a failure of conclusions (Trump is sent by god), but a failure of proceedings (belief and faith is superior to facts and reality).

    They lack the critical thinking skills to even begin to digest and elaborate an argument that relies of evidence and principled thinking. They don't evaluate reality on principles, they evaluate reality on emotion, identity and authority above all else. Therefore, fact checking is not even a possibility.

    He was already known as a sleazy conman and the butt of jokes for decades before he won in 2016. How could they not know?

    I've heard many say they don't like what he has done but somehow he is still the best thing ever in spite of that.

    Maybe it ties into the Christian redemption thing.

    From what I gather, many evangelicals who support Trump see him as a fighter against a corrupt worldly government and a champion of their causes.

    Then there's the MAGA concept, which plays into their Great Replacement paranoia (the fear that the white Protestant American majority is being replaced by non-whites and non-believers).

    The fact that he is about as far from Christ-like as it's possible to be doesn't seem to deter them all that much.

    What happened to Romans 13:1

    Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

    They sure seemed eager to use that when Trump got into power.

    Same thing that happened to Mark 12:17

    Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” And they were amazed at him.

    And yet they do anything they can to avoid paying taxes.

    And let's not forget Mark 10:25

    It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

    Yet they glorify a man who brags about how rich he is.

    How is it that I, an atheist Jew, know Jesus better than they do?

    22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name...23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Matt 7:22..., 23 NIV

    How is this not endorsing political candidates which means their tax exemption should be revoked?

    a persecuted Trump has God's protection.

    Nothing they need to do about it then. Their God wouldn't be so weak that 90 some court cases and a lack of funds could stop their Chosen One right?

    The man is the living embodiment of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. And this is the guy God sent? Maybe there is a reason for that.
