Wow, that must be some kind of an unusually intellectual Bible study group, my compliments on the depth. I've always been a Democrat, and God help me, politically I believe myself doomed to remain one for the rest of my natural life. I see good things that could come of the Trump agenda but his diplomatic approach is juvenile and sporadic, his disdain for NATO and love for Russia offends me in ways I cannot express on a casual discussion forum. Trump is not a Christian, I see no Christian profession coming from this man either in the past or any time in the future. What he gets as support from his white evangelical base seems more focused on the right to life movement and a disdain for the far left, believe me I understand their political frustration.
Comparing Luther to Trump is a stretch for me, but I like the way you expressed the idea. Other then that a fascinating OP, appreciate you sharing such an interesting view.
