...and all the other MAGA 'Christians'. A message from the Bible, the Good Book, straight from the mouth of GOD:

“You must not associate with any professing believer who is immoral, who is greedy and a lover of money, idolatrous, verbally abusive and known for mocking and slandering others, a drunkard, and who extorts and swindles others for his own gain - do not even share a meal with such a person.”

1 Corinthians 5:11


Trump gets a pass on the 'drunkard' part, though I wish he was a serious alcoholic; it would better explain his idiocy.

There was considerable chatter that Bush #43 was an alcoholic, and drug abuser. I don't see much difference in the two.

Good morning ges, nice of you to be thinking of me this morning and offering words of wisdom from the Good Book.

I have forgiven President Trump for his trespasses as the Bible instructed me to do so.

Matthew 6:14-15 - For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

A prayer for you ges, perhaps it will soothe some Trump anger.
A Prayer for Forgiveness: "Father, please forgive me when I allow anger and bitterness to fill my heart because I refuse to forgive someone who has hurt me. Teach me how to lay down my rights and choose to forgive in the same way You have forgiven me." (Mary Southerland)

Have a lovely weekend ges.

“Forgiveness” and “holding accountable” are two, often very different things.

A thief can be forgiven, but if he has not sought forgiveness and made restitution, you don’t elect him as county treasurer, let alone president of the country.

But doesn't that forgiveness imply that the sinner has mended his ways? Something Trump has never, and will never do.

Not only does he keep on sinning, it only gets worse.

cutting USAID funding in a way that nobly upholds the sanctity of life by ensuring 14 million or so people die.
After all, nothing says love thy neighbor quite like starving them of food, vaccines and clean water.
I like to think of it as a bold, faith-based way to reduce global overcrowding — one child at a time.
Also, I’m increasingly convinced my church considers pedophilia less of a sin and more of a cherished tradition." ~LurkerMop, MAGA Christian

It is well known that Trump has never partaken of alcohol or drugs in his entire life. He says this is because one of his brothers was an alcoholic.

If Trump had ever had an alcoholic drink in his life I'm sure we would have heard about it.

So, you're not even bothering with reality-based analogies.

This is clear indication of your relentless bias.

There are many things that one could plausibly criticize Trump for.

Drinking alcohol and taking drugs are not among them.

Let's all watch the news to see how many tons (i.e. multiple truck loads) of stones are piled at the White House gates in order to permit the "faithful" to comply with their faith and stone the *documented* adulterer to death. First Amendment, etc, etc....

Dum dum,

If you are going to purport to quote from the "Bible," at least get your thumb (and your head) out of your cloaca and actually read the damn thing.

The penalty of stoning in the Old Testament (Leviticus 20:10 and Deuteronomy 22:22, at least according to ChatGPT, I don't have a bible handy lol), only applies where a man "lies with" a "MARRIED" woman.

As far as I am aware Trump has never been accused of having sex with a "married woman" while he was married.

You're so arrogantly ill-informed and wrong, all the effin time, it's a joke.

Depends.

Big problems importing the morality code of a culture that was not all that different from many aspects of today’s Taliban.

Many differences, to be sure. In many ways more advanced. In others- not so much.

I prefer the morality code of Jesus, or if you prefer- the morality code of Rabbi Hillel.

They were roughly contemporaries and both said many of the same things.

As wzambon said: it depends. In places it is treated as normal or acceptable (i.e. no penalty).

I knew how this thread was going to go when I read the initial post. You can find justification for almost anything in the bible. You want to forgive? It's in there. You want to condemn someone for something? It's probably in there.

One of many reasons there are so many denominations, IMO, is that each group favors some verses and avoids others. Pick your denomination that agrees with your preconceived ideas/positions.

So, of course LM could come up with a biblical counter to the OP. Hers was a "get out of jail free" verse, too. Support whatever/whomever you like under the banner of "I forgive them". I wonder how many catholics say that about pedo priests so they can continue to be catholics.**

Marco- sorry to confront your nonsense by quoting your own referenced scripture , but….

Lev. 22:10: If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death".

No escape clause there for an unmarried man.

Deuteronomy 22:22: 22 “If a man is discovered lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman as well as the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.

No escape clause there, either.

Trump is never reputed to have had an affair with a married woman.

So, no stoning regardless of whether he was or wasn't married at the time.

I notice how you once again evaded that particular issue.

That’s obviously false and I gave you two sources that contradict that assertion.

It seems the only thing you’ve done in this conversation is misread the scriptures, call me an asshole, make a false statement about Donald Trump’s purity, then accuse me of drinking and evading whatever point you were trying to make.

Lurker Mom,

The Left is sexually dysfunctional in almost every possible way.

Many of those ways are no doubt completely unimaginable to "normie" folks like you and I.

Their many rage gasms over political stuff is obviously subliminated libido drive because Mommy paid a little bit too much attention to Mr. Winky when she was changing their diapers.

The rage these nut jobs are expressing at their anti ICE riots is similar. DRIVE BABY DRIVE she wanted her partner to literally penetrate the ICE officer.

Disgusting!

Also, I am sure if the Reverend ZamOHni has any house pets, such as cats, dogs, hamsters, or tarantulas, they never turn their backs to him.

OK fair enough.

I don't think Trump is great at managing a large, bureaucratic structure like the federal government.

That's both a matter of his past experience and his temperament.

He's great at being a CEO, but has deficiencies as a C.O.O.

Also, I think he's too nice of a guy. He wants people to like him too much.

He's also not nearly Machiavellian enough.

That's probably because he's a NYC real estate guy at heart and totally "in your face."

He tips his hand too much.

Trump would do well to review "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius.

wzambon (quoting a Counterfeit Christian grayling): I have forgiven President Trump for his trespasses as the Bible instructed me to do so.

You know how to spot a Counterfeit Christian?

They are always willing to forgive someone they love like the Pedophile Protector, found liable for rape, guilty of multiple felonies, cheated on three wives, talked about dating his own daughter, bragged about walking in on naked teenage girls at his beauty contest, was the best friend of one of history's most notorious pedophiles, stole money from a charity for children with cancer, regularly peddles xenophobia and racism, and chose to let tens of thousands of people die by cutting off USAID funding (after letting a couple of hundred thousand Americans die by neglecting the pandemic) but... never a word of forgiveness for anyone they disdain.
