Once again you show how you ignore Gods word in favor of your "opinion". One truth in your post is "Trump has excepted Christ" (meaning to set apart, remove from list, etc.). Then there is his "spiritual adviser", another "prosperity" teacher, and heretic. However, you still have shown no evidence that he is a Christian in accordance with Gods word. Was it when he divorced his wives, or screwed around with other women while still married? Was it when he defrauded his contractors? Maybe it was when he lied 24 times in just one week. Then too, what does God say:
Matthew 6: 16-21 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
You know what I’ve learned being a Christian?
I learned that I was forgiven, not because I was good, but because God is good. I learned that knowing theology is good, but that theology, like other good things, can make you mean. Pun intended..
To this day I still don’t understand how a person with a lot of knowledge about the bible could also be a jerk. You know what it was? It was a cognitive dissonance that I constantly fought with when I saw people who were more knowledgeable than me crushing others. And we know that’s Christ like..
I grew up Baptist, and when you’re really into being a Baptist (or, as I’ve discovered, a Lutheran, Presbyterian, Pentacostal, or old trapper etc.) you look down on people who aren’t what you are. You equate your brand of Christianity with the right way to do Christianity and, so, are exceptionally annoying to be around. Sound familiar?
I believe in facts/truth. I’m certain there are knowable, verifiable facts, spiritual and otherwise. But, as much as I love facts, they’re not the point. And, all the denominations can’t be right about everything they think they’re right about. Which is kind of humbling when I remember that applies to me, Believe it or not, It also applies to you too. I agree Knowing is important, but BEING also seems to be the point Jesus kept on about. You know what trapper.I can quote a lot of theologians, have some impressive books in my library, know all the right people and still be a butt-munch. Or, I can let the facts that matter mean something more than the fact that I know them. It’s pretty tempting to be seen as spiritual because I know much about spiritual things, but (in my wiser moments) I’d rather be seen as a fool and live spiritually through Christ.Good night..
