    Trump Struggles With Basic Christian Teaching

    (Don't know if this thread is in the right place, I'm leaving it to higher authority to decide.)

    I'm a non-believer and don't have any particular opinion as to what Trump represents to Christians. But nevertheless would like to know what you think of Trump's performance at the annual National Prayer Breakfast.

    That comes across as someone being honest about their own feelings, weaknesses and failings. I'd be more concerned if he insincerely said he was praying regularly, 'with the love of God in his heart' for Pelosi et al.

    I don't know anyone who manages to 100% live up to what Jesus taught. But I do know that Jesus called us to follow Him - it's a journey and an adventure, with all the ups and downs that come with that.

      IF Trump is a Christian - and I don't know if he is or not - he would be a NEW Christian. Mocking him for "struggling with basic Christian teachings" would be like mocking a 2 year old for not being able to read.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        To some, he's the devil incarnate. To others (like me), he's just the guy who happens to be president for now and will eventually be replaced by someone else who will probably be hated by those who affiliate themselves with the opposing party. Certainly nobody is looking to President Trump for spiritual guidance.

        That said, any Christian who claims that he does not struggle with some aspect of his faith is a liar.

          And, for the record, I really hate it that Trump brought politics into the National Prayer Breakfast like he did.

            I'm not comfortable with using the Prayer Breakfast for some of the rhetoric he used, but I think his closing apology was good. I'm actually surprised by it.

            Frankly, I have to force myself to believe that Pelosi isn't lying when she says she prays for him (in any kind of good way).

              Yeah, I think her conduct, particularly of late, pretty much makes it difficult to believe she prays for him as the Bible instructs.

                Trump is a chr-ino who will feign to be whatever you need him to be in order to gain power. I think you're all smart enough to know that, so why the feigning ignorance.

                  You're cute. I don't know if he's a Christian or not, Jim, but I never allowed that to be a basis for decisions I've made about him.

                  I think you're all smart enough to know that, so why the feigning ignorance.
                  And, once again, you suck at mind reading. Good thing you don't depend on it for a living.

                    Leave the trolling to those like firstfloor who at least exhibit some intelligence and wit. You're not smart enough to pull it off.

                      That he was a political chameleon was one of the biggest reasons I wouldn't support him. I simply don't trust him not to change yet again. That said he has remained pretty consistent.

                      I'm always still in trouble again

                        So, so long as he remains a consistent lying, lawless, wannabe dictator, you'll continue to support him?

                          He might actually be open to the idea of 'loving your enemies', which is better than many professed Christians.
                          Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

                            Give one example of Trump loving his enemies.
