Hello,
My dad and most of the elders of my church are big Trump fans and it’s a big letdown and very discouraging. For some of the most Godly and wise men I have ever known, these guys really throw it all out the window when it comes to politics. The purpose for this thread is for me to get additional background on how Christians sell this Trump thing to themselves while also possessing the Holy Spirit.
I don’t actually care about politics but I’m a Republican (for what it’s worth). The reason I am posting this is I want to know from actual Christians who love Jesus and seek to please him and obey his word:
1) how can you be a fan and supporter of a person with such unrepentant low moral character? I don’t mean how can you vote for him, I am aware of the “lesser of two evils” argument. But that’s not the major evangelical position, as so many Christians are fans, they actually like this person. The words that come out of his mouth, and his pride make me sick, and grieve my spirit greatly. How can you love Jesus and like this character?
Again I know why you would vote republican, I’m asking why you would defend and stand for this gross man. He’s gross, he isn’t a nice person and he isn’t moral. Lastly, I’ve prayed for him because he obviously needs Jesus. I literally can’t imagine the impact he could have if he got saved and actually changed, it would be epic!
In Christ,
J
