According to a recent CNN/ORC poll, many white evangelical Christians in the early primary states support Donald Trump. Thatâs surprising. Trumpâs call Monday to bar all Muslims from entering the U.S. is perhaps the biggest act of religious bigotry in modern presidential politics.
Such a proposal is a total affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Itâs stunning that Trump would ask the American people to punish Muslim refugee families for the sins of ISIS. Itâs even more stunning that such positions have traction with the American electorate.
As we come upon Christmas, the business mogul turned presidential candidate has become the modern-day Bethlehem hotel owner saying there is âno room at the inn.â Thatâs not right, and Christians should no longer support him. We are called by our faith to stand up and say that Trumpâs proposal is bigoted. This isnât who we are. And this isnât what we stand for.
We must counter Trumpâs statements about Muslims and immigrants that sow division and hatred in our nation with the truth revealed to us by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ: that every human being is made in the image and likeness of God. Every person has the right to a dignified life, a home and a future.

Muslims aren’t a “religion.” But their religion, Islam, is completely opposed to Christianity, well to humanity. This guy is really swinging from the fences, but it isn’t going to work.
Remember the pole that overwhelmingly shows Blacks, whites, Latinos, etc. in favor of banning Muslims temporarily? It’s very simple. The majority of people don’t want to be shot up, blown up, or have their head removed from their body, like the woman in Oklahoma everyone seems to have forgotten about. That was a terrorist attack as well.
Shaming us isn’t going to get us to change our minds. It’s just going to make us angrier and more resolved.
These people are just plain insane! Fear will do that.
Islam is a subversive fascist totalitarian ideology determined to conquer the world by force and kill anyone and everyone who will not submit.
How is that a religion?
Thanks, my FRiend!
I'm not the one who said he'd keep every single Muslim from entering the country. And I'm also not the one who says he can do it. So he's your candidate; how will he carry out his promise?
Radical Islamic terrorism is real. It's a threat, one that should not be taken lightly. Asinine promises like Trump's or thinking that we'll be safe if we only end the refugees are simplistic answers that serve to only gloss over the complex problem. Trump's proposal is not serious, and it never ceases to amaze me how many people think it is.
True!
If there is another attack, another San Bernadino, anything at all and Trump will not double down but will full court press the terrorist issues.
He would win in a landslide.
Americans do not like not feeling safe in our own country.
Activist states and the unconstitutionally big, anti-state sovereignty federal government are unconstitutionally stifling the gospel of Jesus Christ anyway.
So, Mohammed deflowering little girls is OK, Mr. Hale. I can think of nothing less Christian or more Islam.
He can and will use a Statute - that’s been a LAW SINCE 1952.
In an effort to inform American citizens of the facts and help answer these questions, please read the following.
8 US Code 1182 (Section a. Number 10, Paragraph f.)
Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
This is in the U.S. Code of Laws. It was passed by Congress in 1952 and has been the law of the land ever since. And, by the way, at the time .. it was passed by a Democrat Congress.
So, to be clear, if the President determines that murderers, killers, and enemies are infiltrating any group of people to do harm to America; he has been given the power by Congress to stop or restrict that groupâs immigration or non-immigration status and ability to come into the country by proclamation.
This is precisely what Trump has proposed, and for obvious reasons.
It is NOT .. UN-American, it is U.S. Law.
It is NOT .. UN-Constitutional, Article 6 Paragraph 3 of the U.S. Constitution regarding no religious test refers specifically and only to the election of Congress, and not to immigration.
As President, Donald Trump would have full legal authority under U.S. Law to do exactly what he has proposed.
All of the hype, outrage, and statements to the contrary are either political grandstanding, abject ignorance of the law, or willful lies regarding the issue.
AND .. PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS: THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE TO GO BACK TO CONGRESS TO GET APPROVAL .. THIS U.S. CODE SAYS ITâS ALREADY A DONE DEAL .. AND THE PRESIDENT CAN JUST ISSUE THE EDICT AND IMMIGRATION OF ANY GROUP IS OVER ..!!!!!!!
And how will he enforce it? How will he identify every Muslim as they try and enter the country and stop them?
Oh Geeeee, I think I left my crystal ball at my other job.
Get real.
You’re wanting positive policy .. and I’m not a policy maker nor a policy doer .. and I don’t work for any political person.
You just want what you think will be an answer you can spread all over the internet .. well .. you’ll have to try that ploy on someone else.
Goodbye
Yes. And you and Trump are offering crap.
A thoroughly pagan publication is essaying to define Christianity for us?
Huma should be right there up against Mrs. Bill.
Correct.
Islam is the only major religion on the planet (or in human history) that makes a specific point of denying the divinity of Christ, and that He was the Son of God.
Compare the Bible and Quran verses:
BIBLE: "This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. But every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."
1 John 4:2-3
QURAN: "They said, "The Most Gracious has begotten a son"! You have uttered a gross blasphemy! The heavens are about to shatter, the earth is about to tear asunder, and the mountains are about to crumble. Because they claim that the Most Gracious has begotten a son. It is not befitting the Most Gracious that He should beget a son!"
Surah 19:88-92
Islam is Antichrist.
It is Satanic.
The Muslims squatted on God's most Holy ground, the Temple Mount, and one of the inscriptions on the Dome of Rock denies the Divinity of Christ Himself and the Trinity.
http://www.islamic-awareness.org/History/Islam/Inscriptions/DoTR.html
"Nor utter aught concerning God save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a Messenger of God, and His Word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and say not Three! Cease!
The following picture is an actual image of the marble stone on the Dome of the Rock adjacent to the descriptions that deny who Jesus was and is:
Now look closer.......
Now enhanced.......
This is reality folks. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6:12:
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
What we are witnessing is the front line of the physical war, which is part of a much greater, more epic Spiritual War.
Islam is Evil.
It can never be anything else.
Well, that’s only at bedtime.
If the Antichrist is, as certain Protestants believe, a single man or entity then it is Mohammed and the society of Orcs he spawned.
Bravo. One of the finest posts I’ve seen in a while and you spell out with graphic evidence what I was attempting to convey only with words.
NICE work.
Its called self preservation Christopher.
