Trump's Bible Just Might Earn Him Eternal Damnation

[Uncle Joe]

But I have some better words–religious words. I and many other faith leaders are willing to accuse Donald Trump of two more things.

The first is idolatry–false worship. The White Christian Nationalism, that Trump proclaims, directly names the problem. First, the most inclusive and welcoming message of the gospel of Jesus Christ is made white by the marketer-in-chief of racial grievance. Second, the word Christian is distorted beyond recognition. Service, sacrifice, and love are replaced with control and domination with Trump’s religious disciples unapologetically aiming for control in their “Seven Mountain Strategy”—with right-wing Christians ruling government, business, media, education, family, arts/entertainment, and, of course, religion. And in direct contradiction to Jesus' instruction to his followers to make disciples in every nation, Trump’s faith will be nationalism, not just positively loving your own country, but asserting the power of one nation over others. Trump’s Bible features the documents of one country and puts the words “God Bless the USA” on the cover. That is idolatry—the false worship of a nation.

The second word is heresy, which means drawing Christians and others away from Christ. Donald Trump and his MAGA movement deny the truest and deepest teaching of Jesus in places like his Sermon on the Mount. Trump’s worship of wealth and utter disregard for the poorest and most vulnerable brings the judgment of Jesus in Matthew’s gospel Chapter 25, “As you have done to the least of these you have done to me.”

And the life of lies that Donald Trump has led and deliberately spread to the damage of our nation completely contradicts Jesus’ words in the Gospel of John: “You will know the truth and the truth will make you free.”

1. Trump earned eternal damnation a long time ago.

Selling bibles is just a drop in the bucket.

[True Dough]

2. True statement!

There's a whole litany of reasons why Drumpf should burn in hades!

[Ocelot II]

3. If there is such a thing as a soul I don't think Trump has one.

But even if he does, and if there is such a thing as eternal damnation (which I also doubt), few people deserve it as much as he does. He and Hitler can hang out together in the burning lake or whatever. And Satan can't call him home any too soon if you ask me.

4. I don't think there is such a thing.

As an Atheist, I don't believe in hell; I consider the whole idea to be pointless.

When I was a Christian, I didn't believe in hell; I figured Jesus did what they said he did.

5. Jesus had some thoughts on the Biblical kingdom being separate from the earthly kingdoms.

Jesus had some thoughts on the Biblical kingdom being separate from the earthly kingdoms.

Now they are being joined?

[Aristus]

6. I would trade his eternal damnation for incarceration for the rest of his life.

My wants are few and simple.
