  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

One of President Donald Trump’s sons is crediting his father with “saving Christianity” and “saving God,” insisting that his father is “Heaven-bound” and that God has played a direct role in his career both as a businessman and as a politician.

Eric Trump, the president's third child from his first marriage to his late ex-wife, Ivana, reacted to his father’s recent comments about Heaven in an appearance on “The Benny Show” earlier this week.

When speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One over the weekend, Trump said,“I think I’m maybe not Heaven-bound” and “I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make Heaven.” Trump’s remarks about Heaven came after he previously suggested that if he ended the Ukraine-Russia war, he could secure his place in Heaven.

“Make no mistake, he is Heaven-bound,” Eric Trump proclaimed. “He’s probably too humble in a certain way to say that.”

“I’ve seen the hand of God on him for a very long time,” Eric insisted, citing his father’s survival of the assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, last summer as one example of divine intervention: “If he wasn’t Heaven-bound, that flag wouldn’t have folded up like a perfect angel right above his head.”

I pray for Trump frequently but Eric is very confused about his father saving Christianity. I'll admit that the one thing that he has shown some humility about is going to heaven. There's always hope.

He may be heaven bound but he has a long long long way to go before he gets there. And not that many years to get there either. He better get cracking.

As to him saving Christianity, that is laughable. ROF laughable.

Everything he’s doing is giving christianity a bad name and setting it up to be the next pariah. By the time the project 2025 initiatives are completed and his pro christian stance is implemented society will begin to think you’re the problem and turn on you. The narrative will be pushed on social media and comparisons will be drawn with Atwood’s books and the series returns next year. America will be likened to Gilead and you’ll be blamed. Christian nationalism will be your undoing.

I have mentioned this before...

Trumps Pastor and Mentor was Norman Vincent Peal who equated Faith with positive thinking and confession.

We are seeing how such 'faith' works out in practice - as far as I can tell it seems to be a Cross-less faith fuelled by strong will, pride and mental acumen.

Confession of sin and repentance don't mix well with this approach to faith, and are noticeably absent.

This is a departure from the message and life of Jesus - confirmed by the writings of Paul.

If he found faith at an early age then the evidence of him walking in it and confessing Jesus is not easy to see.

Only people who think they're above God would think they can "save" Him.
Despite what the atheists think, God isn't a human construct.

There's a line in one of the Joan of Arc movies where Joan, on trial, says "God needs me," and her interrogator arches and eyebrow and says "God needs you?"

News flash: Christianity has been treated as a swear word and a pariah going all the way back to the 1st Century. It has been mocked in our culture to the point that when I was a boy and learned that C.S. Lewis was a Christian, it blew my mind. Absolutely nothing has changed.

That assumes any evidence of faith would be accepted by the "Trump bad" crowd because he's not a Democrat and not one of their hail fellows well met. Be that as it may, by Trump's own words I don't think he's Saved, and that's based on what he said he thinks is the nature of salvation, not some progressive check list.

Let's talk about this thing called faith, though: The Power of Positive Thinking holds that it's a form of faith, and strictly speaking that's correct. But it's Who we have faith in that matters, not so much faith itself. Really, The Power of Positive Thinking replaces faith in God with faith in ourselves, that if we just think happy thoughts hard enough, good things will happen.
