I am not affiliated with any denomination. However, my childhood was saturated with “Fire & Brimstone” Baptist teachings. I have in the past investigated World religions and Christian denominations before committing to Christianity via Scripture and the Holy Spirit revelation.

God, through the Bible, emphasizes the importance of obeying both God’s laws and the laws of the land. Romans 13:1-2 states that we should obey the government because God has ordained it, and disobedience to the law is disobedience to God.
Exceptions:
While the Bible generally supports obeying the law, it also acknowledges exceptions where obeying human law might conflict with obeying God. Acts 5:29 states that believers must obey God rather than men when there’s a conflict.
==================
Trump breaks the law at will and does not respect or follow the execution of the law through the court system. Do NOT use him as an example of how to behave. Under God, he is not exempt. Trump uses God for his “own ends” but does not represent God or God’s Ways.
===================
This is posted because Trump constantly uses God in his political statements.
If Trump had repented of his sins to God through prayer [with sincerity], made a sincere effort to change his behavior and concepts to God’s Way, and became saved through Jesus paying his sin penality, he would be forgiven of this kind of sin. Even though Trump uses God in his political statements, Trump gives no indication of being saved or making an effort to do things God’s Way.
The Ukraine/Russia War is both “just” and “not just” according to God’s standards. Ukraine is just in protecting its country, people, and resources. Russia is unjust in coveting Ukraine land and resources and starting/continuing the war.
America would create an unjust war if they forcibly took Greenland, Canada, or the Panama Canal as it would be coveting them. If these countries fought a war against it, their war would be just as they would be protecting their country, people, and resources.
——
Under Trump is America going to side with “JUST” OR “NOT-JUST” wars?
Is Trump going to side with God or continue to covet other nations resources?
The Catholic Church and its new Pope as well as ALL its hierarchy should be doing what GOD WANTS and – not – what they want. Young people should not influence the Pope or the Church no matter what denomination. [unless an atheist church or such].
The Pope and the Church hierarchy should be presenting God’s Way to its followers – not – the other way around.
Parents should teach their children [and themselves] history and religion at home in ADDITION to what their children are taught at school. Trump is trying to affect children’s minds at school age. He is trying to change History in museums as well. He is trying to teach His supporter’s idea of religion in the schools. Parents need to correct their children’s learning at school. Also, children should learn to take tests on such subjects as “The concept is taught in school as….” because what is going to be taught will be different than reality. One would not want their children to get into arguments on the subjects, but would want them to know the truths.
It should be noted that much of history is written from the winner’s point of view and not actual history. It is hard to recognize the truths and children need help doing it. Also, presented religion is usually Catholic and taught by those who don’t even have a clear knowledge on it, let alone those of non-Catholic denominations. [I would have a problem with my children learning Catholic concepts let alone those that were distorted by non-competent teachers.]
I hope the Akashic Records are correct with post-its on spins. It would be interesting when one gets to Heaven to have access to God’s historic records to study them to see what actually happened.
In the end-times, America will go into captivity per prophesy.
I think America is headed into captivity under a dictator with Russian sympathies. We are loosing our freedoms every day [one-by-one]. Our countries young will be living in a World they never thought they would be living within.
Recently, Trump is taking over the Armed Forces of America by putting Trump sympathizers into key positions and removing others. The best way to take over a country is to take over the Armed Forces first. He is taking over the courts, Congress, and other groups — all leading to the take over of America completely and removing citizen rights.
He acts more and more like Putin every day. He thinks citizens of America are here to serve him rather than he to serve them as President.
Key people in government are afraid of him and capitulating to him.
You have to choose as a Christian to be either pro-God or pro-Trump/pro-Putin. You cannot be both. You can support the ways of the World or the ways of God, not both.
There is nothing regarding Trump that is pro-God no matter what he says at Easter-time. Everything about him, his concepts, his rhetoric, his actions, his desire for revenge, his desire for hurting his enemies [as a first choice even], his internal character, his relationship with God [which is fake in order to get votes or support for his selfish policies], and everything else about him.
As a Christian, I am obligated to hope and pray that he repents and becomes “saved”, but I doubt he would do such a thing or be happy with such a choice. He would need to change everything about himself with the Holy Spirit’s help, which he would not allow.
I believe that Trump should be more concerned with God and God’s Judgement thereof, than his perceived Earthly enemies and revenge thereof.
However, Trump is doing one thing right. He is being an example of what NOT being “of God” is.
Those in government that say they are conservatives and Evangelical Nationalists should study the Beatitudes [Scripture-wise].
A good book to help with that is “Political Teachings of Jesus” by Tod Lindberg. [a long time political analyst and commentator]
As a 79 year old, sick, handicapped woman, I can say whatever I choose [other than lies] about Trump. Currently, I am trying to outlive my cat that is a senior cat and struggling to do do. I asked God that when I die, if the cat is alive, to take the cat also. So…. the cat and I will be in Heaven happy and OK in God’s system.
By the way, God follows His system of governmental rules as well as his followers, etc do. He does not do whatever He chooses without consideration, evaluation, and knowledge of daisy-chained events from any action. He follows the laws of His Kingdom too.
He adheres to laws as shown in the fact he had Jesus pay our sin penalty as a payment for such was required and we could not pay it. The law said so.
When God needs to follow the laws of His Kingdom, why does Trump not have to follow the laws of America?
By the way, if I say something not of Trump’s liking, there is nothing he can do to me although I don’t think he would bother with someone like me who is not rich, important, or repeated in the media. He cannot make my current life worse, shorter, or more difficult. I get to get escorted to Heaven by Angels when I go. Trump will be in Hell, miserable, and awaiting judgement day to the Lake of Fire! He will have the knowledge that he took a lot of people there with him all in the name of “money”, “influence”, “importance”, and “control”.
The way things are going World-wide, the Rapture is likely to occur within the next 4-5 years anyway.
Just a thought — if Trump and all the right-wing groups of the World get rid of NATO, it just opens a spot for the anti-christ which is a much worse event than NATO. If I were Trump, I would prefer to deal with NATO than the anti-christ.
Answer: If there is anything that will spark a spontaneous debate, if not an outright argument, it is a discussion involving politics—even among believers. As followers of Christ, what should be our attitude and our involvement with politics? It has been said that “religion and politics don’t mix.” But is that really true? Can we have political views outside the considerations of our Christian faith? The answer is no, we cannot. The Bible gives us two truths regarding our stance towards politics and government.
The first truth is that the will of God permeates and supersedes every aspect of life. It is God’s will that takes precedence over everything and everyone (Matthew 6:33). God’s plans and purposes are fixed, and His will is inviolable. What He has purposed, He will bring to pass, and no government can thwart His will (Daniel 4:34-35). In fact, it is God who “sets up kings and deposes them” (Daniel 2:21) because “the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes” (Daniel 4:17). A clear understanding of this truth will help us to see that politics is merely a method God uses to accomplish His will. Even though evil men abuse their political power, meaning it for evil, God means it for good, working “all things together for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).
Second, we must grasp the fact that our government cannot save us! Only God can. We never read in the New Testament of Jesus or any of the apostles expending any time or energy schooling believers on how to reform the pagan world of its idolatrous, immoral, and corrupt practices via the government. The apostles never called for believers to demonstrate civil disobedience to protest the Roman Empire’s unjust laws or brutal schemes. Instead, the apostles commanded the first-century Christians, as well as us today, to proclaim the gospel and live lives that give clear evidence to the gospel’s transforming power.
There is no doubt that our responsibility to government is to obey the laws and be good citizens (Romans 13:1–2). God has established all authority, and He does so for our benefit, “to commend those who do right” (1 Peter 2:13–15). Paul tells us in Romans 13:1–8 that it is the government’s responsibility to rule in authority over us—hopefully for our good—to collect taxes, and to keep the peace. Where we have a voice and can elect our leaders, we should exercise that right by voting for those who best demonstrate Christian principles.
One of Satan’s grandest deceptions is that we can rest our hope for cultural morality and godly living in politicians and governmental officials. A nation’s hope for change is not to be found in any country’s ruling class. The church has made a mistake if it thinks that it is the job of politicians to defend, to advance, and to guard biblical truths and Christian values.
The church’s unique, God-given purpose does not lie in political activism. Nowhere in Scripture do we have the directive to spend our energy, our time, or our money in governmental affairs. Our mission lies not in changing the nation through political reform, but in changing hearts through the Word of God. When believers think the growth and influence of Christ can somehow be allied with government policy, they corrupt the mission of the church. Our Christian mandate is to spread the gospel of Christ and to preach against the sins of our time. Only as the hearts of individuals in a culture are changed by Christ will the culture begin to reflect that change.
Believers throughout the ages have lived, and even flourished, under antagonistic, repressive, pagan governments. This was especially true of the first-century believers who, under merciless political regimes, sustained their faith under immense cultural stress. They understood that it was they, not their governments, who were the light of the world and the salt of the earth. They adhered to Paul’s teaching to obey their governing authorities, even to honor, respect, and pray for them (Romans 13:1-8). More importantly, they understood that, as believers, their hope resided in the protection that only God supplies. The same holds true for us today. When we follow the teachings of the Scriptures, we become the light of the world as God has intended for us to be (Matthew 5:16).
Political entities are not the savior of the world. The salvation for all mankind has been manifested in Jesus Christ. God knew that our world needed saving long before any national government was ever founded. He demonstrated to the world that redemption could not be accomplished through the power of man, economic strength, military might, or politics. Peace of mind, contentment, hope, and joy—and the salvation of mankind—are provided only through Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Spiritual Laws:
⦁ Obey God Almighty moment by moment (John 14:21).
⦁ Witness for Christ by your life and words (Matthew 4:19; John 15:8).
⦁ Trust God Almighty for every detail of your life (1 Peter 5:7).
⦁ Holy Spirit – allow [listen to] Him to control and empower your daily life and witness — (Galatians 5:16,17; Acts 1:8).
=======================
Statutes are divided into categories: (1) laws, (2) testimonies, and (3) decrees.
Each of the commandments is a statute [laws].
⦁ You shall have no other gods before Me. [God Almighty {Father}]
⦁ You shall not make idols. — The concern was with images that were worshipped as gods in their own right or thought to embody the divine. As long as religious art isn’t treated as an object of worship itself, it doesn’t necessarily conflict with the second commandment.
⦁ You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain. — In the ancient world, names were thought to carry the essence and authority of the person they referred to. To take God’s name in vain meant to invoke it carelessly or for deceptive purposes. This could include making false oaths in God’s name or using His name to lend credibility to ungodly actions.
⦁ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. [Jesus IS OUR Sabbath!] — Studies have linked regular Sabbath observance to a host of positive outcomes, including better physical health, mental well-being, and relationship quality. (ref) The principle of taking regular time to rest, recharge, and reconnect with God and others is just as relevant now as it was in ancient times.
1. Pick a weekly day and time.
2. Prepare beforehand to clear out the day’s schedule.
3. Compile a Not-To-Do List. [work, etc.]
4. Engage in spiritual practices that help you draw close to God. Devote time to worship God.
5. Plan soul-restorative activities that help you rest and delight in God.
6. Celebrate together with your family, friends, or community.
⦁ Honor your father and your mother. — While the commandment certainly includes obeying and respecting parents during childhood, its application extends beyond that. In the ancient world, honoring parents also involved caring for them in their old age and preserving their legacy after death.
⦁ You shall not murder. [refers only to deliberate homicide, not to accidental killing, slaying in war, executing a criminal, or slaughtering an animal]
⦁ You shall not commit adultery. [not even in your heart/mind]. — It encompassed any sexual activity outside of the marriage covenant, whether by married or unmarried parties. So even if an unmarried person sleeps with someone else’s spouse, both are guilty of adultery in biblical terms. The commandment isn’t just about respecting your own marriage vows, but respecting the institution of marriage itself. It’s a call to sexual purity and faithfulness that applies to everyone, regardless of marital status.
⦁ You shall not steal.
⦁ You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. — Tthe intent and consequences of a lie matter in evaluating its morality. The ninth commandment focuses on lies that unjustly harm others, not all falsehoods in any context.
⦁ You shall not covet. — To covet in the biblical sense is to fixate on and plot to obtain something that rightfully belongs to another. It’s not just admiring your neighbor’s possessions, but resenting him for having them and scheming to make them your own.
Religion has many divisions of teachings and Public School Teachers are NOT qualified to teach religion except generally. If Religion is taught it should be taught as part of a many religion course that also includes the many religions around the World.
If parents want their children taught Christianity, they should enroll them in a school that teaches their division choice. Not all Christians are Catholic. Also, parents can take their children to their Church of choice as well. There are other organizations to choose from as well … like camps, daily vacation Bible School, etc.
Trump should be impeached. He does NOT represent or reflect God’s Way or Will. He is not a true conservative. He and his National Evangelicals are counterfeit conservatives and have in their own minds changed the meaning of conservative. The US government is no longer stable, just, truthful, or dependable.
The only acceptable dictator is God through Jesus Christ at the Second Coming. The only acceptable KING OF KINGS is Jesus Christ. God said so!
If a foreign country wanted to annihilate the USA, now would be a good time to initiate it as the whole country including government, military, and everything else is in chaos. If Iran assassinated Trump, instead of retaliation, Iran should be given a reward!
Trump thinks that if he receives immunity while President or thereafter in a Earthly legal system, that he will not be held accountable for his actions or daisy chained effects thereof. Even if he received such immunity, he WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE thereafter.
He will spend over 1000 years in Hell, face White Throne Judgement, and the Lake of Fire [alive or dead at time of being thrown into it]. He also has lead many people away from their faith and replaced God with himself in their lives and concepts. Money or prison will not get him out of the accountability problem he will eventually face. He is 78 going on 79 years and is a stressed man. If I were him, I would spend much more time worrying about this than his legal trickeries.
Also, I hope he is impeached and found guilty of such. He should leave the Presidency in disgrace.
God said: Vengeance is mine!
Therefore, Trump is NOT to seek vengeance on his perceived enemies. If National Evangelicals support him and are backing his Presidency as Trump claims, then why can he seek vengeance when all of humanity is told clearly that they cannot do so!
No one should use Trump as an example of how to do or behave in business, their personal life, or politics. He is not a good example and will make the World a worse place to live in the near future.
However, one can see why the young in the USA would think crime is a thing to do as Trump does it and gets away with with it. He even support it and encourages it. He has gotten rich on it, influential, and famous by doing it.
Satan does not even want him as he would not even follow Satan’s will. By the way, Satan is more competent than Trump as God said Satan was very good at what he does. Satan may twist truths, but Trump does not start with truths or expound them.
The “Right” putting Christianity in schools?
If I had a kid in school at any level, I would pull them out of school for “homeschooling” or into a “religious school that I had investigated” that taught “true Bible Scripture meanings” and not the misguided shit they are trying to teach children by unqualified teachers [for Bible interpretations].
Considering that these so-called supporters of Christianity teaching Bible Scriptures are supporting Trump [his actions, policies, plans of policies, and legal/moral problems], I question their capability of having a true relationship with God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit.
If my child gets taught Christianity, I would want it to be the “true” God’s Scriptures with the Holy Spirit’s revelations not the questionable counterfeit Christianity.
From the book “The Political Teachings of Jesus” by Tod Lindberg.
On the second page of the Preface of the book: “Jesus introduced the idea of universal freedom and equality produced when people recognize the freedom of others by treating them the way they themselves would like to be treated”. Jesus proposed instead a political order organized on the principle of shared recognition of freedom and equality — a community of goodwill.
Jesus – was not and is not – Democratic or Republican.
Christian Nationalism is not Biblical. This is Satan’s World, and you and I will not change that “by getting out the vote” or resorting to violence. Don’t just believe me – open your Bible and look up John 14:30, 2 Corinthians 4: 3-4 and Ephesians 2: 2-3.
What is? ….. Jesus’ return and God’s Kingdom.
We have entered a time when God is going to deal with the World in the only terms it can understand.
Above is a quote from Tomorrow’s World Jan 2023 pages 2 & 3.
===================
The end time events are not caused by God but by humans and when it gets bad enough that humans will destroy themselves, God will come to save humanity [not all humans as some will reject his salvation] — Apparently, humans need to get to this level of existence [eventual non-existence] before realizing their stupidity & accepting God’s ways.
Trumpism and Trumpianistic:
Trumpism and being Trumpianistic is a term for the political ideologies, social emotions, style of governance, political movement and set of mechanisms for acquiring and keeping power that are associated with Donald Trump, and his political base. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpism
[I added Trumpainistic as even if Trump followers no longer have Trump to follow, there are Trump want-a-be people and Trump-like behavor in officials and various general public members that will still be around long after Trump is retired or dead.
BEHAVIOR CHARACTERISTIC:
- Lies [not even based on any tiny part of truth]
- Threats
- Instigation of Violence [in the public’s face no less]
- Illegal Behaviors
- Belief that one is above the law and does not need to comply with laws of the land.
- Mean and hurtful verbal interactions with others especially women
- Non-respectful of women [He thinks they liked to be groped and sexually assaulted as he think it is a pass because he does not know the difference.]
- Telling others what to think through threats and false influence
- Radical and Insurrectionist Beliefs and Concepts
- Anti-Democracy where everyone has a right to easily vote and speak their own point of view. [“Trumpism is greatest threat to American democracy since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor” per Philip S. Gorski]
- Inappropriate strong arming officials, agencies, and the general public in a detrimental result
- Childish, erratic, temperamental, authoritarian, angry-resentful-vengeful, berserk, insulting, and emotional in a damaging manner
- No caring or advocating the rights of anyone but one’s self while walking over or destroying anyone else’s rights [Claiming amendment rights but keeping others from having the same rights]
- Supporting fringe behavior such as white supremacist and other extreme groups
- Haveing a World War II Hitler like relationship with Trump and blindly following such a Nazi type leader [following such behaviour instead of decent behavior or God, himself] [According to civil rights lawyer Burt Neuborne and political theorist William E. Connolly, Trumpist rhetoric employs tropes similar to those used by fascists in Germany to persuade citizens (at first a minority) to give up democracy, by using a barrage of falsehoods, half-truths, personal invective, threats, xenophobia, national-security scares, religious bigotry, white racism, exploitation of economic insecurity, and a never-ending search for scapegoats. Neuborne found twenty parallel practices,[137] such as creating what amounts to an “alternate reality” in adherents’ minds, through direct communications, by nurturing a fawning mass media and by deriding scientists to erode the notion of objective truth;[138] organizing carefully orchestrated mass rallies;[139] bitterly attacking judges when legal cases are lost or rejected;[140] using an uninterrupted stream of lies, half-truths, insults, vituperation and innuendo designed to marginalize, demonize and eventually destroy opponents;[139] making jingoistic appeals to ultranationalist fervor;[139] and promising to slow, stop and even reverse the flow of “undesirable” ethnic groups who are cast as scapegoats for the nation’s ills ]
- Lack of knowing good from bad [and teaching others and children such lack of knowledge including advocating that bad IS good and good IS bad]
- Dark Corrupting Influence of others [keeping people from doing their jobs that they were elected to do ]
- Discriminating on economic level, race, or where one lives
- Transforming anxiety into anger and directing it at particular targets [dominance by reminding everybody of wrath AND force and others into submission thereby]
- Creating barbaric, if not sub-human levels of consciousness with mindless anarchic goals [anarchic = with no controlling rules or principles to give order]
- Creating a situation or atmosphere that is more combative and less ideological
- Having and supporting narcissism [Narcissism is extreme self-involvement to the degree that it makes a person ignore the needs of those around them. While everyone may show occasional narcissistic behavior, true narcissists frequently disregard others or their feelings. They also do not understand the effect that their behavior has on other people.]
- Not complying with the rights of business owners to make rules for their establishments, business, media, etc. for the safety of other shoppers, users, or the safety of their business. [Thinking your rights are more significant than anyone else’s rights to shop, eat, fly, post a message, etc.] [Obviously, businesses must follow legal laws for their businesses, but otherwise, they have the right to serve those whom they choose to serve: like refusing those who do not wear shoes, not bringing animals into a restaurant, not wearing a mask, not behaving in an appropriate manner, etc]
- Destruction of property that is not yours or interfering with the operation of any system. [access to property or business, access to intersections or locations, vandalism, interference with normal operation of established functions]
- Taking away other people’s rights and/or disregarding others rights.
- Thinking money, grandeur, and lavishness is more important than the needs of others [like food, medical care, housing, etc.]
- Thinking influence, media attention, blind obedience [to Trump] is more important than God’s Will.
By supporting Trump and his cohorts, you are aiding and abetting him/them in the above behavior and are therefore active participants in such behaviors.
You are supporting and following Trump or Trumpianistic-behaviour and NOT God or family values !
NOTE:
{Trump is clearly stating that Christian groups are supporting him and extensively within his “base”. I am clearly stating that you cannot be a practicing Christian and be in his “base” supporting and abetting him and his cohorts in this behavior. At least other governmental groups do not flaunt their “shadowed” bad behavior publicly [on purpose] as good and appropriate behavior. I know all governmental groups lie to the public on many occasions, but Trump and his cohorts are way over the line and flaunting such in our faces as good. [I am a Christian and believe our country is great even it there are immense problems to solve AND I find this offensive.]
SUCH SO CALLED CHRISTIAN GROUPS MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN GOD OR TRUMP [or Trumpianistic-behaviours as God and Trump/Trumpianistic-behaviours] as God and this behaviour are not compatible.
A Christian Group should have righteous indignation regarding this kind of behavior and not aid and support it.
Sorry, Christians, God does not support you in your Anti-Abortion concepts as you are presenting them. However, some evaluation and reasonableness should be used in the practice of abortion.
The abortion decision should be made as early as possible and completed soon thereafter. Later abortions should be made on the need of the pregnant woman and the baby [such as incest, rape, illness, diseases, condition of the fetus].
It should be known that in today’s World, you are not helping a baby to make it be born. You are not protecting a child to make it be born. In fact, it would be kindness to not have children at all [except those already here]. The World is not currently a good place to raise a child and the near and far future is even worse. If you are a Christian, you should read your Bible and see what is in store for humans in the “End Times”. It is not kind to bring a child into that future. It is not even kind to bring a child into current conditions of the World — even the USA and such countries. In fact, it is wondered if you hate children and want to make them needlessly suffer. It would be better to support birth control through all current and future methods. It would be better to take care of the children on Earth now. Many current children are hungry, homeless, abused, and worse. Some even end up horribly dead, ill, etc.
As a woman who could not have children [due to physical illnesses] and would have selfishly wanted them, in these times, I would support abortion under many circumstances.
By the way, before legal abortion, there was abortion. Women will have abortions for unwanted children even if it is illegal and dangerous no matter what the physical consequences are. You are not stopping abortions by your anti-abortion behavior. Even with my personal concepts, after making a decision to have an abortion, I would do illegal abortion, go to another state for one, go to another country for one. I might even consider personal termination. One way or another if I wanted an abortion, I would get one.
Another concept for you men ——– abstain, use birth control, or get neutered.
The World is full of violence, global warming [and results will worsen], bullying, threats, illnesses, diseases, hunger, abuse, and more. Focus on taking care of the children that are here now and protect them.
Having new born children now is a selfish act and not for the child. Face reality of the World you live in now.
By the way, any unborn fetus [at baby stage] if aborted will return to God and HE WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM FOR ETERNITY.

Trumpism — is NOT COMPATIBLE with God! and/or decent behavior & family values] on May 10, 2021.
Trump and Governmental followers seem to support Russia [Communist] rather than American needs and issues even to the point of lies regarding Russian behavior and reasoning. They are blatantly Anti-American. It seems these Trump followers are trying to destroy America as it should be rather than fixing issues that need fixing to improve America. America needs improvement not the creation of an authoritarian, totalitarian, or other dictatorial system.
You can support and adhere to Trumpism behaviors in many areas [through bulling or selfishness, etc] but draw the line at anti-American behavior and concepts [voting issues, terrorism, violence, or white supreme concepts]. Please start drawing a line in your behavior and at least try to not be Trumpism.
America needs the three sections of government to work as it was intended to work, even it it never did so far, it should currently and in the future work as it was intended to work. The three sections should work independently and not under political bosses. Congress should make laws [and follow them], White House personnel should do their duties, and the Supreme Court should be implementing the laws of the land without political bias.
Political bosses should not be ruling our country. We did not vote for the political bosses at any level of government and we did not vote for the money donators who control our government currently. We also did not vote for the media or other such groups.
Basically, America needs improvement not destruction.
Evangelical Christianity is a worldwide trans-denominational movement within Protestant Christianity that maintains the belief that the essence of the Gospel consists of the doctrine of salvation by grace alone, solely through faith in Jesus’s atonement. Evangelicals believe in the centrality of the conversion or “born again” experience in receiving salvation, in the authority of the Bible as God‘s revelation to humanity, and in spreading the Christian message.

- Not complying with the rights of business owners to make rules for their establishments, business, media, etc. for the safety of other shoppers, users, or the safety of their business. [Thinking your rights are more significant that anyone else’s rights to shop, eat, fly, post a message, etc.] [Obviously, businesses must follow legal laws for their businesses, but otherwise, they have the right to serve those whom they choose to serve: like refusing those who do not wear shoes, not bringing animals into a restaurant, not wearing a mask, not behaving in an appropriate manner, etc]
- Destruction of property that is not yours or interfering with the operation of any system. [access to property or business, access to intersections or locations, vandalism, interference with normal operation of established functions]
- Taking away other peoples rights and/or disregard for others rights.
By supporting Trump and his cohorts, you are aiding and abetting him/them in the above behavior
and are therefore active participants in such behaviors.
You are supporting and following Trump and NOT God or family values !
NOTE:
{Trump is clearly stating that Christian groups are supporting him and extensively within his “base”. I am clearly stating that you cannot be a practicing Christian and be in his “base” supporting and abetting him and his cohorts in this behavior. At least other governmental groups do not flaunt their “shadowed” bad behavior publicly [on purpose] as good and appropriate behavior. I know all governmental groups lie to the public on many occasions, but Trump and his cohorts are way over the line and flaunting such in our faces as good. [I am a Christian and find this offensive.]
SUCH SO CALLED CHRISTIAN GROUPS MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN GOD OR TRUMP as God and Trump are not compatible.
A Christian Group should have righteous indignation regarding this kind of behavior and not aid and support.
