Trump has spent his entire life seeking earthly wealth, power, and glory, and now he wants political power. And Christian, just by voting for him, are supporting that and it is exactly those kinds of things that directly contradict the teachings of the Christ.Whether they are shut out or not doesn't matter a damn. Like seeking wealth Jesus taught them to do no such thing. He did not seek wealth, he did not engage in politics so, what should a faithful Christian do, emulate Jesus and obey his teachings or be like Trump and seek wealth and political power?I'll let Saint Paul explain it to you.So you quoted parts talking about paying taxes, which I agree. And you covered the parts talking about human concerns verses G-dly concerns. I agree.
Now where does it say that in a democracy Christians shouldn't vote, or make their voices heard?
You do realize that most of the old testament involves politics, Kings, Queens, serving in the government, and even changing the laws of the land?
You people take a passage, pull a few quotes out of context, and then just make it all up. Nothing you claim, is what was in the passage. Bonkers. You people are bonkers.
Romans 13:
Submit to Government
13 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
Now, these Christians, fighting against the government, using politics to get their way, are they obeying the teachings of Paul? The teachings f Jesus being focused on 'human concerns"?
And I never, ever, quote out of context.
And this is the lib that denied wanting to shut Christians out of politics...
Wanting economic policy that protects your ability to provide for you family is hardly, "seeking wealth" and voting for or even organizing for political programs that you think are best for the nation based on your world view is not "seeking political power".
Try to be less of a dishonest person.
This is about you not wanting Christians resisting your lefties agenda.
If you are worried about money or politics then you are in complete contradiction to the teachings of Jesus. Try reading the fucking Gospels.
And what this is about is people who call themselves followers of Jesus actually obeying his fucking teachings!!!
Your conclusion that voting for a candidate means supporting the candidates personal life is wrong.
Trump's support based on Trade and Immigration policies. That is what won him the Primaries.
Wanting better jobs and wages is hardly "contradictory to the teachings of the Christ".
Doesn't it seem odd to you that you have to be so dishonest about what you really feel to make a point against your enemies?
Consider this logic.
If you can't make the case for your agenda honestly based on it' merits, then that means your agenda is wrong.
You need to be asking yourself why you are committed to an agenda that you know you cannot honestly claim is for the best for your fellow Citizens.
