He now shall be known as Judas DeSanctimonious.

He did NOT say that!

[Mount Athos]

This is a false characterization of what he said.

[Just mythoughts]

WoW... None of the Apostles carried a begging money bag ... and none of them, ah, well, there was Judas ... things that just go hmmmmm.

Another disgusting DeSantis hit piece from that site, but this one is particularly revolting.

DeSantis is speaking glowingly of Jesus’s disciples, and that “he would have loved to have been back there with them” as an answer to the question of what historic figures he would liked to have been associated with.

He is showing the greatest of admiration for them. Yet, somehow, that is twisted into something inappropriate, as if Jesus and his disciples are not to be looked upon as the greatest men of all time, or that no modern man could have possibly wanted to support Jesus at the time had they been there.

Find me a video of Trump saying anything positive about Jesus, much less claiming that he is the Son of God. I’ve looked, and all I can find is one time Trump said he was a good man who showed strength dealing with adversaries. I’d like to see more if it exists, so please bring it, if you can find it.

What utter nonsense.

So it appears that Sundance is clueless about being a disciple of Jesus. In Matthew 28, Jesus commissions His disciples to go and make more disciples. Any faithful follower of Jesus is a disciple, and to identify with the first disciples defines how fallible men and women should follow Jesus.

Sundance is obviously an evangelist for a modern cult.

[safisoft]

People who know the Bible, and are true followers of Jesus the Messiah, will hear DeSantis’ words and hear authenticity - those that hear something else are ignorant of the words of Scripture.

[frank ballenger]

I am not taking sides on this thread. Already a Trump supporter.

The attempt to link to religious people is dangerous for any candidate other than Trump, including DeSantis.

Look at some-—not all—the books about Trump and God.
More than book find coded message words in the Bible predicting Trump would lead the US someday.

Ron DeSantis Compares Himself to a Disciple of Jesus Christ

June 16, 2023 | Sundance | 636 Comments

Yeah, he really did that. Folks, I’m not sharing this to be snarky about Ron DeSantis per se’, this isn’t actually his messaging. It’s worth looking at this through the prism of who is operating the management, branding and communication effort. This level of ridiculous religious pandering is stunningly identical to Ted Cruz in the early 2016 GOP nomination.

The DeSantis campaign knows they need to target evangelical and faith-based voters. Put a group of people who are not actually centered on the principles of faith in charge of a political campaign, tell them they need to appeal to faith-based voters, and this is exactly what you get.

The DeSantis campaign organizes what should be an interview with friendly allies in the Christian Broadcasting Network. [Full Interview Here]  CBN’s David Brody then interviews Ron DeSantis asking him what historic figures he would associate himself with. DeSantis’s answer is so far beyond pandering cringe, it makes you seriously wonder who constructed this messaging for him [likely, Jeff Roe]. 

WATCH:

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL): “Could I have been there with Jesus’ disciples?" 

Grandma’s rules apply to me providing any further commentary on the issue, but wow – just wow.

That campaign must be under so much external pressure from the GOPe donors, it’s unreal to watch.

[GingisK]

All Christians are called upon to be Disciples.

[napscoordinator]

We’re all Disciples of Jesus Christ. It’s in the Bible. But heathens don’t believe it. Starting here some are mocking God. Sad!

[vespa300]

Uh, hate to tell you this but the Bible says to go ye and make disciples....of all nations. Meaning, go ye to all people, tongue, race, nationality, and make them disciples of Christ. Matthew 28:19 and on.

I consider myself a disciple of Christ, a follow, it’s my “disciplined” life to follow him and tell others about him. It’s my most important job , it’s the most important job we have as mortals.

Sounds like DeSantis reads the Bible. Try it sometime.

[Wuli]

He did not “compare himself” to the disciples.

He said he would have liked to have been one of them. What Christian would not think that would be have great?

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Judas DeSnakis

And 30 Pence both running

[Biblebelter]

Religion is the third rail of American politics.

Don’t go near it.

Don’t know or care what Ron actually said.

Even broaching the subject is a major faux pas.

But Ron has some Bush in him.

What was it that Ann Richards famously said, Daddy Bush was born with a silver foot in his mouth.

Ron’s foot in mouth disease may not be congenital or the foot may not be silver, but it seems to be in his mouth a lot.

“This level of ridiculous religious pandering is stunningly identical to Ted Cruz in the early 2016 GOP nomination.”

That’s quite a high bar to reach, considering that Cruz usually attended 2 or 3 prayer breakfasts every morning at this point in 2015.

[cowboyusa]

Nice try, but a Christian is a Disciple or they are NOT a Christian, pure and simple.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Shouldn’t all followers of Christ be disciples?

[StAnDeliver]

"CBN’s David Brody then interviews Ron DeSantis asking him what historic figures he would associate himself with. DeSantis’s answer is so far beyond pandering cringe, it makes you seriously wonder who constructed this messaging for him [likely, Jeff Roe]."

JEFFROE BODINE STRIKES AGAIN! TEDLIM II!

AAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[marron]

I like Trump. I like DeSantis. They are both good men, we would be fortunate to have either one of them in the White House.

There are good reasons to choose one over the other, but this is a particularly silly point of attack.

Many of us here count ourselves as disciples of Jesus Christ.
