God had used every kind of person in the Bible, from killers to tax collectors, so for Religious people to believe that it isn’t possible God could use someone would be strange.

Does this prove Trump has a calling from God or something? No.

Boy... that’s the one thing that could bring down any Presidential candidate. Having someone call him a good Christian.

Churchill wasn’t very religious, but thank God he was there for Britain during WWII.

Well in 76, everybody thought Jimmy Carter was a “Good Christian”. How did that turn out?

Meanwhile no leader ever manipulated or screwed over the U.S. in history.

I don’t know why there would be a ‘firestorm’.

It’s impossible to prove either way. We do know Church congregations and individuals have long been praying for this country.

All these people have to remember is that everything that goes on in this world is either God-given, or God-used. So maybe they should just relax.

That charge will never stick on Trump. He recently said that he has never asked God for forgiveness.

The Trumpolatry is growing more and more bizarre each day.

“He recently said that he has never asked God for forgiveness.”

Has any dictator ever done so? This guy must have no conscience, and that bothers me.

God uses who or whatever he will.

It would not be the first time he used the jawbone of an ass. Remember Sampson?

And if an ass speaks to you, you better consider what he has to say. Remember Balaam?

Sorry. I’ve been out of pocket so much I missed that. Rooster and I often post the same articles when the search doesn’t pull them up.

The test of a prophecy is whether it comes to pass. So far it seems to be.
