ANY Christian backing Trump isn’t following Jesus.
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness.
In my experience, a lot of them don’t need Trump as an excuse not to follow Jesus. I’ve come across plenty of so-called Christians here in the south and lot of them are the most judgmental , racist, and hateful people I’ve ever met.

How is that not like Jesus?
There were stories a few months ago of “Christian’s” storming out of churches for the sermon being “woke”. They were quoting the Bible.
What did Mammon ever do to you? Other than make you pay more taxes than it’s billionaire true believers, lay you off, make you pay Microsoft a subscription…
The top comment on articles like these is always some flavor of No True Scotsman.
Didn’t say they weren’t Christian as that’s a self applied label. But you can’t pretend they follow the teachings of Jesus.

Very well. Please tell me an example of something they do that is not a teaching of Jesus.
EDIT: Your downvotes won’t change the continuity errors in the Bible or your teachings.
There are four different Jesuses depending on which Gospel you pick, and if you believe in the Trinity, then you are giving Jesus way too much credit considering he’s the same guy who drowned the entire human race.
For those reasons (among others), it never sits well with me when someone tries to declare that someone is or isn’t a Christian.
This entire comment screams “I have no understanding of what I’m trying to say.” You do realize the Gospels are four different perspectives, right. Get three different people to tell you about anything that was in the news last week and you’ll absolutely hear three different stories.
Except that isn’t what happened. Mark built Jesus out of the letters of Paul and various pagan-jewish works. Matthew copied Mark but really liked the Pentauch. Luke copied Matthew and tried to shore up the apostles. John took all three and some local Messiah stories.
None of these people were eyewitnesses, none of these people even talked to eyewitnesses. A copy of a copy of a copy with no original.
Like the whole point of Christianity was to get away from the old testament. The golden rule is the only thing that really matters.
This isn’t true
Matthew 5:17 ESV Jesus said “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
The old testament is still quite relevant. There’s also quite a bit more than the golden rule in the new testament.
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Matthew 5:18
The golden rule is the only thing that really matters.
Yeah that thing that was articulated 5 centuries before Jesus supposedly lived and was known in Aramaic at least a century prior by Rabbi Hillel.
Shouldn’t the Pope straight up tell this bishops to stay out of politics?
The Pope and also the IRS.
You want… The pope… To stay out of politics? Am I hearing that right? The pope?
The Pope is literally a head of state
Edit, misspelled Pope as pipe
“Ceci n’est pas un pope.”
Why? He already controls the Supreme Court, wouldn’t it make sense for him to go after the remaining two branches?
The single most Catholic Supreme Court in US history banned abortion and made it easier for tax dollars to go to private religious schools.
Doesn’t the government have a law that urges them not to support politicians from the church
Technically the IRS can (should) revoke a church’s non profit status if they are caught campaigning for specific candidates. But it happens all the time regardless and there is rarely a consequence.
Yes , and it is consistantly not enforced.
There should have been hundreds of churches charged over this back in 2016, but the IRS refuses to touch churches, no matter how blatantly they violate the separation.
Well, technically the church itself already has a collection of texts that unequivocally damn behaviours such as shown by Trump. It’s called the Bible or something like that, i believe.
Depends on what passages you read.
Oh wow. Thousands you say? Surely they’ll listen…
why the FUCK does anyone care what a bishop thinks
Because many religious types are sheep led by wolves clothed in the robes of the church
I feel like there was a warning about this somewhere. Eh, what do I know.
See Kenneth Copeland for exhibit A.
So they ain’t a fan of Walmart brand Hitler?
Thousands eh?
Removed by mod
Hundreds of thousands will still vote for him.
Thousands … ooOOOOoooo
Of course the bishops won’t support him. When it comes to Trump’s political chess strategy he is a false king supported only by pawns.
Let’s be honest, they have the same taste in age of constant.
