Here’s why most people call themselves Christian. Well, let’s see, I’m mo a muslim, I’m not Jewish, I’m not Hindu, I’m not Buddhist, so I must be Christian.

On the one hand, the Bible tells us repeatedly that only God knows the heart and in that sense, only He knows who belongs to Him and who doesn’t. At the same time, the Bible repeatedly calls us to examine what a professing Christian believes and to evaluate how that person lives, to judge the tree by its fruit, as Jesus put it.


“Fruits” of Donald Trump:

While Donald Trump has come out now and said he is “prolife” believing in “only” exception abortion [which isn’t really prolife at all], he still, nonetheless, has never asked for forgiveness for his harsh partial-birth-abortion stance.

The following link is self-explanatory, and again, he’s asked no forgiveness.

In my “Book,” the following is from a man who srives to be a good Christian:

Mr. Pope should know better, if anyone should, than to question the professed faith of another.

I'm a Trump supporter, 100%. His politically incorrect speech has awakened US voters in time to stop the coronations of Jeb and hillary and a "which dynasty do you prefer" election. How else was that going to happen, except by a force of nature disrupting the whole corrupt process?

Since the biscuits represent the flesh of the Messiah, would the Biscuits at the Trump’s “Church of the 40 Foot Wall” be orange?

And the most deceptive one (to themselves). I was born A Catholic, baptized as an infant, confirmed when I was ten. So I'm a Christian. And you G-D evangelicals can KMA.

Did I mention that the biscuits would be orange and very very thin?

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

1. Donald Trump proclaims that he rarely asks God for forgiveness.

Not sure to laugh or . . . Say what?

Acutaully agree with your analysis regarding the affect Trump had on JB.

I have no doubt the Crewz see a touch of genius in this article.

I see a touch of sickness in it.

This is just more exhibited hatred of Trump.

You’ve got to have a bit of a sick twisted mind to find comfort or solace by reading this diatribe.

Trump is supposedly evil for making a brief quip observation about Cruz, but here when a person sits down to do an extensive write up delving into the religious nature of Trump, why it’s an exercise in some majestic lofty intellectual mission from God Himself.

With each passing day the Crewz sink lower into a death spiral that no true Christian can recognize as ordained from the God I love.

Is there a required length of time God requires you to be a good Christian?

Has that clock even started to tick for him? Doesn't the Christian religion require one to ask for and accept the forgiveness of Jesus?

The fact that Trump isn’t religious doesn’t bother me. That’s his choice. The fact that he fakes that he is and is trying to fool others does.

Donald Trump has been going to church as long as any of us has. His parents took him to church just like ours did. He attends church as regularly as most Americans which means sometimes. He says he’s a Christian and he can certainly point to many acts of Christian charity although he never does. In my book that points to humility another trait Christ held dear.

So is Donald Trump a Christian? Yes.

You won’t hear anything negative from decent people. Cruz brings out the evil in people; I guess because they are so desperate. Ted is a liar though and I do believe God disapproves of lying more than even blasphemy.

His family has always been Presbyterian, apparently.

He questioned Cruz for lying, he asked what 7th day Adventism was, and Obama is far more inclined to defend islam.

Next Question.

Well, obviously you can judge anything. Having said that, absolutely and you should judge everyone’s Christianity who clams to be one. WAY too often we give a free pass to people who say “I’m a Christian”. Pretty sure the Bible weighed in on that subject, i.e. sheep, wolves, false prophets, etc.

"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."

That's a pretty serious accusation about Cruz. It would help me if you could provide exact quotes from Cruz not what someone else said he said.

Lets put it this way. Trump does not fool me, one way or the other.
