I would like to know how long he says he’s been a Christian.

“So, Trump can question the faith of others but the Pope cannot question his? “

Uhh, apparently, yes. Trump’s mind operates in a world of it’s own. Not so sure that is a good prescription for what ails the country now, considering our current POTUS.

Judge anything you want. The value of your judgment or consequence thereof is not your call.

"No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man's religion or faith."

And precisely how does Mr. Trump propose to enforce the removal of any person's right to question another person's faith?

Yes, I know, that's not how he meant it; it's just a way of saying yadda yadda yadda.

However, it is regularly claimed that the Pope should not say anything unless it is so carefully phrased that even the worst-intentioned reader could not take it to mean something different. Shouldn't a potential holder of the position of President of the United States be held to the same standard as the Pope, who has, after all, zero actual power outside his own household?

I voted for Trump in early voting (Texas) yesterday because he calls out God-hating fetus butchering faggot-sucking Marxist Muslims!.

At this point in the nations “death spiral” I could care less about the candidate's theology other then he is is NOT a Muslim!

Trump didn’t question whether or not Ted Cruz is Christian, he wondered how Ted can go around touting his faith while at the same time lying through his teeth about so many things.

It’s a question I’ve asked myself, as well.

But I fully expect to be called a liberal and a heathen and not conservative and all kinds of other stuff today, so it’s all good.

I wouldn’t have wanted to be a teacher who gave him a bad mark in school, that’s for sure. He goes completely jihadi any anyone that says a word against him and doesn’t let the truth or even logic get in the way of his reprisals (witness his attacks on Scott Walker and Ted Cruz).

Trump was helped massively by the Pope.

The law of unintended consequences strikes again.

Whatever. If he’s going to use his claim to be a Christian in order to get votes, I’d like to know how long he has claimed to be one.

It is called fighting back. Something that is not done in proper circles of the Republican Party and certainly by a Party leader.

Pray America wakes

Irony.

Like Democrats, if Donald Trump didn’t have double standards, he wouldn’t have any standards at all,

But no amount of prevarication or hypocrisy can shake the faith of his adoring disciples. He is gonna build that Great Wall and he is gonna Make America Great Again. Have Faith. He is annoited by God (i.e)Himself. He is America’s Last Hope. The Messiah. How dare anyone question his Faith. And how dare anyone question the faith of his Followers.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Trump.

Can I get an Amen?

Is there a required length of time God requires you to be a good Christian? I always thought you were saved by Grace and you could convert any time? Glad the FR purity squad cleared all that up.

He fought back against Walker with democrat lies. He’s fighting back against Cruz with insane empty threats.

I’d call that pathological. I pray his supporters wake up.

Observations on Donald Trump's genuine Christian faith.


Disclaimer-1 : I am a Ted Cruz Florida campaigner.

Disclaimer-2 : My wife and I just spent the previous 30 minutes discussing all of the great points that Donald Trump offers.


So here we go.


Donald Trump proclaims that he rarely asks God for forgiveness.

Following the logic expressed this week by a South Carolina pastor ...

"Anyone doesn't ever ask God for forgiveness is NOT a Christian"


Jesus Christ's final words on Calvary's cross included ...

Father forgive them for they know not what they do ...


It follows that "forgiveness" is a pretty big deal.

That's just my two cents ...



P.S. Today is the South Carolina Presidential Primary.

Whatever his great/puzzling positions and excessive twitter tweets at 2 am ...

I staunchly believe that Donald Trump's entrance into the 2016 GOP Presidential campaign ...

is frankly a "divine miracle from God Almighty".

And I say that as a very loyal Ted Cruz supporter.


Donald Trump is THE REASON why JEB! is expected to cancel his 2016 Presidential campaign TONIGHT.

Donald Trump is THE REASON why the GOPe has had its @ss politically kicked from here to eternity.



Whatever happens in South Carolina today ...

EVERY Evangelical Christian Conservative needs to thank God for Donald Trump (even if they vote for Ted Cruz) ...

Well, he did assure us that he goes to Communion and drinks his “tiny cup” and crackers. I’ve never heard any politician speak so condescendingly about Christianity as Trump.
