Trump babbled on. He tried to be honest but ... oh well.
I’m a Christian and I have never asked God for forgivness because I’ve never done anything that I consider to have been a significant sin, which is to say I’m a pretty boring person.
He is, at least, refreshingly honest. Obama tried to pass himself off as a Christian when he clearly wasn’t. Obama lied about a lot of things. Honesty is refreshing.
I’m waiting for all the holier than thou good Christians who start throwing stones...
Has Obama asked God for Forgiveness? And why was this question not asked of Obama in 2007/2008?
Only people who should be looking for forgiveness are making something of this.
If it were not for the outrageous guilt organized religion uses as a faith maintenance mechanism, this statement would be one of humility and a healthy relationship with his maker. Trump acknowledges God knows he has done, what is in his heart, and that he promises to do better with what is in his power.
After reading the article I’m left with the impression that this is an old-school man who isn’t trying to thumb his nose at God but taking ownership of his failures. Inherent in the words is the idea that he’s not trying to cheat anyone or be deceitful. And he does go on to say that he loves God, loves his church and other things. I loved Reagan and had to hold my nose about things he professed... his wife in particular. The jury is out on Trump for me - but I love his fire.
If I were ever inclined to vote for him, he just made up my mind for me. Never asked God for forgiveness, just do it better next time? How positively Luciferian...
What’s that smell? Newsmax spinning like mad.
Anyone have a link to the actual transcript?
He respects the topic enough to be completely honest. I’m okay with that. Not everyone worships in the same manner or for the same reasons.
That’s gonna leave a mark...
I don’t like Trump at all but I have a hard time buying some of this.
“Oh, Lord, it’s hard to be humble
When you’re perfect in every way
I can’t wait to look in the mirror
I get better lookin’ each day....”
I am not surprised at that. At least he is honest. It beats the crowd that pretends to be devout just for their own gain.
I’m willing to give Donald Trump a pass on this. God isn’t through with him yet.
But one thing is clear, Trump is speaking the truth for now. For whatever reason he is being used as the vessel for the truth to flow from and I will take the truth from whatever source it flows.
I hope for his sake that he continues to allow himself to be used for speaking the truth and for fighting the enemies of the truth.
Given that Trump thinks he himself is God, yeah, it makes sense he wouldn’t ask himself for forgiveness
-- Donald Trump
I have often thought God must get awful tired of ones asking for forgiveness then going out and doing the same thing again.
Trump is saying he wants to accept responsibility for his own actions.
An honest answer from someone that could have easily lied knowing the group he was addressing.
It is for real and one more reason for me to love the man!!!!
Donald Trump is honest......He could easily have lied to the Evangelical group in Iowa......but he didn’t.
Bill Clinton would have
Jimmy Carter too
George Bush said Jesus was his hero
Enough said
Trump wants to right a lot of America’s wrongs.....and I’m praying God is calling him to do it.
I’m also praying for Trump’s soul........NOTHING is impossible with God.
