Well, Trump is in league with millions of Americans who think that "being a Christian" is synonymous with "going to a Christian church (or one that used to be ala PCUSA), or I was born into a Christian family and my parents were Christian, so, I am a Christian too; and the I always go to church on Christmas and Easter (whenever it works out that I'm in town and now doing other things) and then there are those Sundays, yes Sunday is a good day too, I have many bibles in my home and would never throw one away.
I noticed that "the Donald" mentions God a few times but never Jesus (the first part of Jesus Christ - Christian, hint) so I'd go so far as saying Trump believes in a Creator, whom he refers to as God, but he doesn't know enough of the "code words" that Obama uses occasionally to fool the folk.
Trump "might" become a Christian if another Christian were around him to share their faith in Jesus. He's in that dangerous stage of "believing you are a Christian" then finding just after you die, you were not.
It's often hard to work with gifted people like Trump, especially those who have amassed great wealth and seemingly "have it all," unless and until he reached the point that he really needed God in his life, not to give him more but to give him Life!
“A debate between Obama and Trump would be a debate to watch”
Yes, Trump with his long form BC, grades from college, passport records and selective service registration. Obama with his COLB.
hardly....
I don’t see any perfection flawless politicians, if you know some send them my way...
No kidding. Bachmann has actual integrity. If she says something I disagree with I know she actually means it and isn’t just fishing for votes.
Because he is the only one tough enough to deal with the Democrats, the Chinese and the Saudis.
I agree with you here....If he runs for POTUS he will find out how much he will have to lean on GOD’s understanding and wisdom to tackle the most important job in the world.
I don’t think he is around many Christians who can ground him in what it really means to be a *Christian* and carry the cross....
He needs to sit and have long conversation with Billy Graham IMO...
There really has been little coverage yet of his business style and dealings. His companies and properties that have gone bankrupt have been mentioned, but wait until the details of his “deals” start to be recounted and profiled in the media.
He screws everyone he deals with and throughly as he can in cutting his “deals” that he crows so much about. There will be hundreds recounting how they got the nasty end of the stick in doing business with him — even those that thought themsleves his freinds.
The media will trot them out, four or five a week, when it is primed for them to undermine him for coverage and ratings.
I am sure he knows that and that is why he is taking his time on this issue....
IMO I think he will be an asset and by not taking any guff from the Chinese and countries in the Muslim world, he is far from being Politically Correct and that is **refreshing** because we have had *Political Correctness* shoved down to our feet and I think people are more than *Sick of it*
Whether The Donald is born again, I seriously question. However, only The Lord knows for sure. While I agree with you that, “His behavior hasn’t exactly been Christian either.” However, this scripture comes to mind:
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Yes, Trump does indeed qualify as the “rich man” for whom Jesus claimed entry being more difficult than going “through the eye of a needle,” not because he was rich but rather because he believed himself to be in charge of his life and future (as it sounds as does Donald Trump.)
