Dumb things Christians do

I don't know anyone who "worships" Trump. He just did everything right and I  would like to see him back in power.

He was right on the economy

He was right in Foreign Policy

He was right in energy production

He was right on illegal immigration

 

And Biden (or who ever the handler of that bobble head is) has been an absolute train wreck for America

 

Lol, Trump is a great con man.  I'll give him that.  For a person to swindle so many is stunning.

Christians certainly do and say things sometimes that are not helpful witnesses.  For example, the cult like worship of a corrupt, non-Christian man like Donald Trump makes Christians look crazy and is embarrassing for the world.

 

Their are a lot of things that "Christians" do but not all who call themselves a Christian have their heart totally for God. A born again Christian is known for what they do.

Under Trump

The Jobless rate was down

Inflation was down

gas prices were under 3 bucks a gallon

Nobody invaded Ukraine when Trump was President

your opinion means nothing, the facts are clear

Well,yes. But I liked what George said. He said that you have to separate the man from what he did for the United States and who he really is. As a man he had no character,integrity, morals or values.

I've struggled greatly with things shared in this topic. I could wax poetic regarding what I have seen and heard over the years.

First, I was horrified... then, I despaired... which eventually gave way to smoldering wrath. I said to the Lord, "Lord, how I despise evil religion! I have tried and tried, but I cannot stomach the doublemindedness, the hypocrisy, the gossip, how they lionize evil men, and how so many gnash their teeth upon the meek. Why should I have anything to do with them? I prefer the violence of these streets to the insolence of their manicured lawns!"

What did the Lord say to this? Have mercy upon them, just as I have been merciful toward you. 

I had forgotten His word, that we are to love others as He loves us, no matter how difficult that might be.

Well, that might be partially true.  He was handed a great economy that his administration added more fuel to.  However, the current inflation issue is a result of the global pandemic to a great degree.

I agree.  I just don't think he personally helped the US that much with how the US reputation took a major hit.

I posted what I wrote above unaware of what was unfolding: another senseless debate about wicked men and their wicked deeds. It starts and when it starts rolling, it waylays what would otherwise grow into an edifying discussion about our need to be merciful toward others and forgive them. We should do this because the Lord was merciful and forgave us first.

He certainly is merciful.
