ANY Christian backing Trump isn't following Jesus.

If there is an Antichrist living with us the closest person would be trump. It's scarily close and he is even starting to call himself god.

Oh no no no he's never said he was god. Just sent by god.

You know, like the antichrist

Yes, he never said it, but that's what he is implying.

Jesus was also sent by God.

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.

There were stories a few months ago of “Christian’s” storming out of churches for the sermon being “woke”. They were quoting the Bible.

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.

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.

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 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.
