Being Anti-Trump BECAUSE I'm a Christian...

About this episode

ICYMI... Let's talk about the words, actions and character of Donald J. Trump in light of what the Bible says about virtue and vice. But instead of starting with our political preferences and prejudices and THEN backing shards of Scripture into what we want, what if we started with what the Bible actually says FIRST? Then we can more earnestly reckon with the implications of what we're dealing with today.

Here are a few of the Scriptural references that came up:

  • Exodus 20: "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." 
  • 2 Kings 3: "(Jehoram) did evil in the sight of the Lord." 
  • Proverbs 6: "There are six things that the Lord hates, Seven that are an abomination to Him..." 
  • Proverbs 10: "Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool..." 
  • John 2: "(Jesus) said, 'Take these things away from here; stop making My Father’s house a place of business!'”
