If I wasn't an atheist I would fully believe he is the actual anti-christ.

    Honestly you still could believe it from a secular interpretation of the bible. Many of the verses talking about the antichrist are clearly warning about the rise of a fascist strongman, and unsurprisingly Trump fits them perfectly.

    Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist? Here Are the Biblical Predictions:

    So for full discloser, I am a Christian believer and also do not like Trump. I thought (even since before he was elected) he was using the presidency for his own personal gain. I'm also not going to try and say I didn't like Hilary more, because I absolutely did not. Over his term I came to see it was worse than Trump just using the presidency for personal promotion and am at the point his actions seriously scare me.

    That being said, this article I think took some logical jumps to make it fit an American presidency. Prophecy is extremely difficult and subjective. I am just a normal person and haven't studied biblical prophecy to the fullest extent, so it could be spot on and I'm just not as versed in it. Reading it I was also thinking were these verses picked to make the argument? Were there prophecies left out because they did not fit the argument? That would be my burden to study and look into.

    Overall, the article opened my eyes to some things that seemed off but I could not explain way. I have some obvious concerns and glad I have a starting point to start looking into it further. Glad I read this article, and thank you for sharing it.

    Jesus did not fit the prophecies either. The point of prophecy isn't prediction, it's a tool to be used to make people believe what you want. For example, Jesus of Nazareth was almost certainly not born in Bethlehem, but that's what the prophecies said so we have multiple differing mutually exclusive accounts saying how and why he was born in Bethlehem for some reason during a trip they took. They don't really make sense, especially together, but they don't need to. They were just created in order to fit a person into the prophecy.

    Not that Dune proves anything, but I highly recommend watching (and ideally reading) it because this concept is basically what it's about, and it's entertaining and well done. A prophecy was laid out in advance to be used when needed. It is then used to convince them Paul is their Messiah, and billions of people die because of it.

    "I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive."

    Romans 16:17-18

    If only MAGA Republicans could read, they'd have seen this coming.

    Besides a King James Version translation, it includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of the famous Greenwood song.

    Of course he used the KJV. The version that no modern Christian couldn't read if they wanted to and the version that basically every fundamentalist Christian has on their bookshelf and never opens.

    They probably chose the KJV because it's in the public domain.

    I take offence at that, we have a KJV on our book shelf and it is never opened and I certainly don't call my self a fundamentalist Christian, or even a Christian.

    It is sitting with the greek myths, british folk law, NZ pre European accounts/trade/culture, and the section with all the language/translation etc

    His mugshot is always hilarious to see. You just know he practiced that looking for an expression that made him look tough and defiant, and he settled on "toddler intentionally shitting their pants because you said it's time for bed" as his look of choice?

    Assuming a 50% markup, he'll only need to sell 5.8 million of them to cover the latest bond requirement.

    $60 for a book he probably outsourced to the cheapest country possible... That's way more than 50% markup.

    Last week he was selling sneakers, this week Bibles, next week it will be US flags with his face where all the stars should be... Trump is proof you really can fool some of the people all of the time.

    You can buy a hard-cover bound King James V bible from Barns and Noble for $22.50.

    But does it have the bill of rights, constitution and declaration of Independence? You know the documents that also say to not put them in the same place, I don't think they'll read it but I hope at least one does and think "ooooo, yep yep yep I get it now."
