Well, of course. If the people asking this question, who generally antagonistic to Christ and Christianity, thought that Trump's actions as President led the country and its people AWAY from Christianity and its moral principles, they would be all for him. Even better to them are those who cloak themselves in the clothing of "being Christian" but actively governing against Him.

This is a carefully crafted reality you've built here.

Almost nobody at all has anything against the moral principles that Christ taught. In fact, find the most woke, unaffiliated Buddhist you can, and chances are they've read a book that likened Jesus's teachings to that of the Buddha. They like Jesus. They don't like the religious right's politicized, moral authoritarian interpretation of Jesus.

The guy starting the thread is not antagonistic to Christianity at all and is a right-leaning poster who has a history of taking good moral stands, just FYI.
 
I do find the irony that some of the same people clinging to "we don't know what Trump believes in his heart" had no issue claiming Obama was a Muslim/Non Christian....
Mojito, did they claim he was a good Muslim though? If he was called a bad Muslim then I can see being offended based on this thread topic. Or are we to assume being called a Muslim/Non Christian is offensive. Some folks wear the title proudly.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy of those not wanting to judge what might be Trump's religious beliefs but had no issue rushing to judge what they thought Obama's were....

So some are going to judge if Trump is a good Christian. And others are going to judge if Obama is just a Muslim/Non Christian. Seems like different standards, which is typical, but ok I can see the loose comparison.
 
As a Christian, how are you OK with one of your homeboys telling Americans to rot in hell?

How morally low does donny have to stoop before even the Sunday morning "christians" are no longer willing to defend him?
There is no eternal torment for unbelievers.
That is a concept taught by churches that isn’t in line with scripture. It is taught in Dante's inferno though.


It is pushed by churches to scare people into a belief system. The question becomes is that real faith or fear? And we’re back to Mathew 7 and most who think they’re righteous not getting in.

Every time I read about people leaning right or left, my childish mind wonders if they have back issues or walk with a limp from all that leaning

If I’m not mistaken Obama sold himself as a Christian.

Edit: meant to quote Mojo. But it still works. Just further into the conversation

Either you are a Christian or you're not.

Same logic applies.....
 
But was he a good Christian?
I’m so glad someone finally asked me.
What does it mean to be a “good Christian”
Maybe we should check in with the guy that “Christians” claim they follow.

Hold please

I wanted to make sure I got this right.

In Luke 18 Messiah says none of you MFers is good.

18 A ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 19 But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me [i]good? No one is [j]good except God alone.
 
Being too lazy to google something isn't a good look, if you were really interested, you'd have spent a second. Instead, you made an assumption and now look silly.

Tell me, where would my $50 be spent on your mission to end hunger and violence - or would my $50 be the first step in ending your poverty? Are you a registered 501c3?

Outside of the name of the church, thier mission statement sound like it'd be in line with any benevolent charity, including any Christian orginazation.

Whether it's a church of Christ, Satan, Allah, Harry potter or Thor - I believe in basis of their beliefs equally. Your outrage is likely predicated on your belief that "Satan" is real and should be loathed and feared. I find the thought of Satan about as equally scary as the Dementors flying around Hogwarts.

Someone brought up Satan worship - I simply pointed out that the Church of Satan positions on benevolence and charity appear admirable.

Point of technicality….

Satan isn’t a person or a name. It is a definition. The word means opposer. So when Messiah said to his follower “behind me Satan” he wasn’t calling him “ Lucifer”. He was saying “behind me, you’re in opposition to what I’m doing “

So Satan is real for everyone as everyone is opposed by someone…… how real someone believes Lucifer THE Devil or chief opposer is, is individual.

How does that apply to the church of “Satan”? I believe they understand the difference and are not claiming to worship “Lucifer” but rather they oppose the hypocrisy they see in All other religions.

For my intents and purposes here - when I refer to 'satan' I'm referring to the chief executive officer of hell.










I care, Slice.

I should probably have read the previous posts for proper context before posting......I believe Satan is real and that he is the father of evil which explains the difference in our opinions.
The Bible says (Matthew 7:15)
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
They obviously are going to make it appear as enticing and harmless as possible on the surface...

I also believe and I understand that you are entitled to your own opinion even if it's the polar opposite of mine.
