Luke 23:34
Dividing up the clothing by lots is such an abomination.
Any Christian who didn’t have a clear problem with him by the end of 2015 is a complete piece of shit. Any Christian who voted for him deserves to go to hell.
Christian American here. Just about everything Trump has said or done with regards to Christianity since his first campaign (and before) has made it clear that he is in no way a regenerate disciple of Christ. This is not surprising, just more of the same pandering, self-righteous, self a aggrandizing stuff we’ve seen for years.
There’s a concerning culture of what I call Americanism within the American church, where nominal/cultural Christianity is mixed with prosperity gospel/materialism, nationalism, and a bunch of other unbiblical teaching. It truly is idolatry in many forms. Politics are one expression of that, where even good desires are swallowed up into partisanship and division and sold as the lesser of two evils. Leads to all kinds of hypocrisy.
Happy to answer any questions or comments.
How does a congregation square that circle? Like how do they preach things directly counter to their main book (the bible) and still think they are following the teachings? Or do they not and it is another schism, but this one is about american exceptionalism and how actually worshiping golden calfs is good, somehow?
I guess I just don’t get how you can have a room full of people, give them all the same book and then have them all get on board with something entirely counter to said book.
Does that fighter jet have claws 😂
I feel offended, disgusted, and entirely unsurprised. While this is probably the most blatant example of him blaspheming, it’s very far from the first. Even on top of that, him and all the other nationalists that work with him have been dragging God’s name through the mud for ages, really from long before Trump started politics. I can’t say for sure if they believe God exists or not, but they sure aren’t following him.
For context: I’m not American, but I’m very much Christian.
Ok.
is he going through a list about antichrist? this is literally one of the things.
I think Trump is definitely a Christ-like figure when I remember that Jesus was executed by the state for leading a rogue political movement.
There is the SLIGHT possibility that we are loving in bible times, and trump is the messiah, and like the bible, everyone hated him.
I will only believe that if he comes back from the dead though
Trump is just an old man with obvious cognitive decline, and possibly alzheimers like his father.
If hes the “messiah”, I want nothing to do with him bcz he’s a petty nasty person and represents the worst qualities in a human being that could possibly be expressed.
110% you are right, but I can only think of that scene in Dune part 2.
Of course he is humble. That proves he is the messiah…
My mom was Team Kirk when he died. I wonder if The Wire has an an tire come darin for Dune part 2 because it is anti-religion. I can’t find a review on YouTube, and no way in hell I am searching facebook to search for it. (Mom listens to daily wire on facebook daily)
This would be funny if your hypothetical situation weren’t so easily faked.
I’m pretty sure they didn’t have deep faeks in 33AD /s
Its blasphemy.
As a kid, our Baptist church had two flags with golden eagles on the top in the pulpit alongside the cross.
The actual religious tenants aren’t a part of your typical American church.
Since there’s not really that many Christians on Lemmy, I took the liberty of showing my former college roommate that image. He is a devout Catholic and also a two-time Trump voter, though I will note he has since soured on Trump since his re-election (for these and other reasons). His reaction was that the image was insulting to the Catholic religion and blasphemous.
Last year, I had also asked his opinion on Trump posting an AI-generated image of himself as pope when Pope Francis died, and he said that post was “not cool”. He said that to imply one could simply become pope without first rising through the ranks of the Catholic Church, especially someone as unpious as Trump, was disrespectful to those who dedicate their careers to the clerical service, and he found the image offensive.
and then he voted for him a 3rd time
He was too young to vote in 2016. He voted for Trump in 2020 and 2024. I asked him a week or so ago whether he plans to vote Republican in the upcoming election. He says he plans to throw his ballot into the bin.
Ah yes, a rational response in a democracy
His reaction was that the image was insulting to the Catholic religion and blasphemous.
You friend’s reaction to the image was insulting and blasphemous? Or, was is reaction was that the image itself was insulting and blasphemous?
This doesn’t even make sense as pedantry because the “that” in their comment wouldn’t make sense unless it was the latter.
Well the “that” could be that the friend’s comment was that the image was insulting to Catholics, or the “that” could be referring to the specific reaction. It basically needed some better comma usage because there is a difference between:
His reaction was, that the image was, insulting to the Catholic religion and blasphemous.
and
His reaction was that, the image, was insulting to the Catholic religion and blasphemous.
I guess the vagueness comes from the double “was” usage.
Jesus flipped nicer tables than this.
It makes me angry, but not more than any of the other terrible, dehumanizing, antidemocratic stuff he’s done. To me, this is just more proof of what I’ve always known: maybe he’s not the Antichrist, but he sure is an antichrist.
What could possibly still be reserved for the?
Competence.
he sure is an antichrist
He is anti-Christ.
Unquestionably.
Jesus flipped nicer tables than this.
You just blew my mind.
The table flipping he would do in so many churches. Catholic and protestand AND MEGA CHURCHES! To name one catholic: he would trash the cologne cathedral. And get a tank to run down the mega churches in USA.
if he wants to emulate Christ so much I’ll nail him to a cross and let him die.
for our “sins”, of course.
Christians of Lemmy!
