Self appointed scholar? Man.... you're just showing your ignorance. All of Christendom knows Christ's teaching about an eye for an eye. It's not an obscure interpretation.

Good grief....

Does the Lord’s teaching apply to civil authorities?

I always thought that “eye for and eye” was for justice systems. That citizens are not to apply this to personal interactions.

According to the article, Trump was asked about his favorite Bible verse. As I recall (please correct me if I am wrong) the Bible includes both the old and new testaments.

In any event, I agree with the author. Trump is not running to be America's Pastor in Chief. He is running to be the Commander in Chief. There's a difference.
