'I have never seen a more biblical president than I have seen in Donald Trump'

  • This past summer, we sat with friends around a campfire, and I told them about how I nearly died the winter of fifth grade.

    I remember, always, going out to the middle of our 147 acres, when my Dad was at work in the summer - with my .22 rifle. I'd go

    out there to sit on mossy hill - the highest hill of our woods, with huge beech and oak trees, and fox squirrels all over the tree tops.

       I liked to go out there and watch squirrels - but after that winter - I went out to mossy hill and talked to God. I asked God what was so important I had a miracle to save my life? Pretty heavy emotions for a fifth grade goofball comedian kid. I honestly, truly expected that "Ten Commandments" Charles Heston low voice come from heaven. But it never did. The realization that God was really there was scary? profound? stunning?....Reassuring when you look at parts of the world without God?

        I have always felt far closer to God out in nature, in the woods, etc. Far, far more than any time I went to church. That Phil has similar understandings on that - is great, to me.

    Trump has always felt closer to God in a room full of hookers who have a limited grasp of English.

    Well every president panders, and every presidential candidate. Seems like Trump does it a little bit more.

    Is there somebody you guys think is more biblical?

    Carter seemed to be a gentle soul.  Not a good President...  But seemed a decent man.

    That would be my guess if we are playing that game.

    The backpedaling and mental gymnastics that some people do to try and make it seem like he isn't that guy. I don't care. I didn't care if Clinton got a hummer from an intern. That sort of stuff gets social cons wound tight.

    Nobody really cared about it except people that hated Clinton. Perjury trap not much different than the stupid ass Mueller report.

    On the other hand, along the lines of Mary Ann or Ginger your choice... Monica or Melania? Or Melania or Michelle or Hilary? ?

    Maybe a better question Monica or Stormy? 

    ?

    Personally I think the broken English is a plus.

    Trump was obviously very ignorant of biblical teachings in 2016 with some of his statements such as saying he didn't need forgiveness of sins and his referral to Second Corinthians as "two" Corinthians. However other Christians who are well versed in the bible such as Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson (who both lost to Trump in the 2016 primaries)  and a host of other Christians such as Phil Robertson...(that one is for you Cal) have said that in private Trump has been very receptive to Christian counseling and teaching.

    So he pandered to the people in the room with him? I find it hard to believe that the guy who traded in wives when the years got too hard on them and says things about grabbing ladies by the pussy is some guy seeking faith haha.

    Only God knows what is in a man's heart. I don't know why you would find it hard for a sinner seeking faith? Forgiveness of sins, a changed life and a new beginning is what the heart of the gospel is about.

    The fact is if Trump did pander for the evangelical Christian vote in 2016 he has delivered on his promises to fight to protect religious liberty as well as being the most pro life president since Roe v Wade.

      Read Phil's book. One of em. His first book, I believe, is "Happy, Happy, Happy". He explains how he and Si grew up in dire poverty,    how they hunted and fished to have food, etc, and how he met Miss Kay, had two kids, and went from bad to worse - drinking, drugs, whoring around, and finally one rainy night, he told them to get out, he wanted to be free to do whatever he wanted.

       He was ruining his life, became an outlaw, and fell into despair because the more evil he was, the more empty he was. Finally, Miss Kay, his Wife, arranged for him to meet a pastor friend - in a bar.

    It's a very sad story, that eventually becomes love and zest for a Biblical life with Miss Kay, etc etc etc etc.              

    By Pres Trump's ACTIONS as president - he has a moral Christian compass now, and that is what matters. 

    It is also an EXCELLENT read. A NY Times best seller.

    Also a NY Times best-seller.

    A means to an end. Solidifying support. The guy was a life long NY Dem with a history of sketchy business dealings. Having to try and make him into something he isn’t just seems silly and reaching.

    I thought Trump was shamelessly pandering for the evangelical Christian vote in 2016. I remember a speech in 2016 in the deep south where Trump asked the crowd what was the best selling book of all time and when the crowd started shouting "the art of the deal!" he said nope and pulled out a bible. It was clear from things he had said that he knew little about what the bible actually said.

    Trump may not know the bible well but all the Christians who have spoken to him say he is open and receptive to the gospel and that is a good thing. Someone like Trump even with a "sketchy past" is much better than someone like Hillary Clinton who claims to be a Christian and is familiar with the bible and what it teaches and then takes sides against many of the teachings. (and to boot she also has a sketchy past).

    The bottom line is that Christians who voted for Trump in 2016 made a wise decision. His actions as president in regards to protecting religious liberty and right to life have been excellent.

    Actually I can defend Trump on being one of the best presidents in my lifetime in keeping his campaign promises. 

    Trump could be the most honest president in modern history

    "But when it comes to the real barometer of presidential truthfulness — keeping his promises — Trump is a paragon of honesty. For better or worse, since taking office, Trump has done exactly what he promised he would do."
