President Trump’s Christianity

For the most part, I agree with and appreciate what he has done this term as president. In fact, he's my favorite president as of now in spite of reviving the Real ID Act which is an extremely anti constitutional and anti Bible bill.
I don't adore or worship the man and pray the Lord will change his mind and the rest of the Rs.
That's for another thread.

Regardless, the issue of his salvation is totally unrelated to his decisions on other issues. There's already plenty written on this and he has expressed on several occasions what he believes is required for everlasting life.
I brought this topic up a year ago.
>Is DJT Saved?<

I still pray that a bold compassionate soul winner will witness to him.

Thank you for your comments. They are welcome.
In Matthew 25 Jesus explains what it means to live in the kingdom of God. He tells us to feed the hungry give drink to the thirsty welcome the Stranger, give clothes to those who need clothes, care for the sick and visit the prisoners. As Christians, we should be pursuing these ideas. Jesus was apolitical. The manner in which we vote should reflect the kingdom values that Jesus talks about. We should encourage the government’s helping the poor. The government is definitely not the kingdom of God. The only stage one needs to be in as a Christian is that of committing one’s life to following Christ in all areas of his or her life. Have a blessed day.

I missed your comment in a year ago. I just joined this chat. What he has accomplished is dismantling the consumer financial protection board, which saved Americans tens of billions of dollars from improper financial transactionsn. He’s also dismantled the NIH, which will make it difficult for us to get proper medical research. He has carelessly slash the veterans administration. His overall aim is to cut as much as he can so that he can give the ultra wealthy a tax break. Make no mistake about it. Trump is on the side of the millionaires. Remember what Jesus told the wealthy young man “give away all your wealth and income and follow me.”

Medicaid was never intended for able-bodied adults capable of working. Americans have already decided to take care of women with children and their children, and the disabled.

I wonder what percentage of the population who are able bodied and work less than 80 hours a month and are persistently on medicaid benefits.

I am sure it is at reaching epidemic levels.
It is about 5% of all medicaid recipients and less than 1% of the population.

I really wonder how much savings that will bring to the US Government, can we say negligible.

What I find impressive is how trickle down economics theory and tax cuts (Arthur Laffer theory) causing economic growth persists even after it has been completely discredited.

The USA wants to curtail spending, how about not funding foreign wars which have no bearing on USA security, an actual warning given by the authors of the Federalist Papers.

I think most of us here are familiar with that interview- I think it's from his first presidential campaign; which was like 8 years ago now.

Even if nothing has changed since then; I offer the same answer to this that I gave back then: I didn't vote for him to be an Apostle, pastor, or teacher. Moreover, anyone else running was objectively worse.


When it says to feed the hungry, it means YOU, his disciple, feed the hungry; it doesn't mean that you make the government do it for you. That's the role of the church.

I saw a one on one interview with a news person and Donald Trump sometime ago. The interviewer was trying to get Trump to say that he had a need for forgiveness one time in his life. Donald said no he lived a good life he never felt the need for forgiveness. I would like to suggest that someone who has never felt the need for forgiveness, cannot have accepted Jesus as their savior and lord. That requires, realizing we are sinner confessing our sins repenting, and asking Jesus to be our Lord and Savior. And after that, it means following scripture. Scripture asked us to feed the hungry give water to the thirsty, provide the needs of the sick. This is in Matthew five. Trump‘s policies kicking people off of Medicaid is not in alignment with these kingdom goals.
Everyone have a blessed day.

Medicaid is the fastest growing government program. It was extended under Obama and again under Biden. Also the percentage the federal government pays was increased greatly. States saw free money and took it. Only 10 red states didn't increase the program. It's a considerable chunk of money.

The only issue is if there is fraud or if you prefer a government to not fund health care then that can be choice made by a populace through the ballot box, but that will not look too pretty.

On the other hand...
The U.S. has spent an estimated $8 trillion on the post-9/11 wars (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc.) including direct war appropriations, war-related Pentagon budget increases, veteran care, and future obligations. This figure doesn't include other significant costs like homeland security and foreign assistance spending.

I don't disagree that great amounts of America's wealth has been squandered in a myriad of ways. Neither is there waste to be found in healthcare alone. All waste, fraud, and abuse should be weeded out. And regardless of where one starts, there will be pushback at every turn. Personally, I'm in favor of 1% annual reductions on all spending until a surplus is achieved.

The whole United States of America economic system is a fraud.

When I buy a loaf of bread at the corner store has fraud been perpetrated?

Pretty much. lol

we need to oppose politicians like President Trump, who has many wrong ideas for the general citizenry of our country..

A good faith purchase isn't fraud.

I probably wouldn't have that much of a problem with the Donald if he hadn't used Christianity as a ruse to get elected. He's the one who made it about religion. Maga "apostles" and "prophets" are the ones preaching that the US was founded as a Christian nation and needs to be one again. Christian nationalists were the ones preaching at the Capitol on J6. So-called Christians are the ones behind most of Project 2025. If they want a Christian nation, fine, let's have one; but first they need to learn the true meaning of Christianity.
