[Akita Suggagaki]

Here is what is happening. People taking selfies with a statue of Trump at a Republican event.



Here is what the left interprets reality as being



This is why people by the millions don’t believe them

We will see what kind of response he gets today.

Ok, besides thunderous applause, what do you expect?

Remember it is a Republican event.

Yet were completely silent on the subject when Barack was referred to as a Messiah.

Hey, remember when that guy wrote:

For those seemingly unfamiliar with the term.

Is anyone other than me bothered by this thing rolled into CPAC in the image of Trump?

It’s never a good look when Christians start with the golden idols if my memory of the Bible is anything to go on.

 

[Larniavc]

no, no one is really bothered by it. It is just a byline for the left to continue their narrative and it has no weight or connection with reality.
Thessalonians 5:22

Hmmm.... a mock-up of Trump in a Stars and Stripes bathing suit at a Republican event in Florida.

What I find disturbing is that there are people actually equating it with an idol.

it’s called humor.

What a truly interesting time in which we live.

I think it's poor taste, but it doesn't really have anything to do with Trump himself. The guy who made it has been making the rounds displaying it.

I liked Trump as POTUS, but this reminds me more of Nebuchadnezzar than the "calf."

So being an atheist, there is a time when Christianity DOES have a good look to you...?

No connection with reality? You can question the interpretation of it. But the golden image was there. it has definitely a connection with reality.

In the interest of Biblical accuracy, that was the Jews.

Christians' troubles tend to be more of the "thirty pieces of silver" variety.

Yes, Nebuchadnezzar in nearly every way rather than the calf.

Yes.

 

[The Transcendentian]

Yes, Nebuchadnezzar in nearly every way rather than the calf.

Definitely similar to Nebuchadnezzar as a golden statue made in a rulers image. How else is it similar?

 

[Larniavc]

Doesn’t matter what I think. It matters what God thinks of this idolatry.

Unless you maintain it should not matter to Christians.

 

[The Transcendentian]

This is why I truly, truly believe that Trump supporters are under a great spiritual delusion being permitted by God.

Highly possible, but Liberal Christians are under great spiritual deception as well.

 

[Sabertooth]

It matters what God thinks of this idolatry.

Who...?

 

[Larniavc]

Who...?

You know, deity the Christians revere. Purported not to like the worship of idols. You would have thought people who profess to be Christians would try to obey his commands.

 

[hislegacy]

Betcha don't anymore.

Bethcha I do. And the vast majority of 75,000,000 others who have the capacity to tell the differencer between taking a selfie at a convention and worshiping an idol. And it doesn't take 30 pieces of silver to learn that either.

It’s never a good look when Christians start with the golden idols if my memory of the Bible is anything to go on.

One day I pray you come into a relationship with it's author.

You are going about this a priori...

 

[Larniavc]

You are going about this a priori...

Could you explain what you mean clearly and succinctly?

 

[Sabertooth]

Could you explain what you mean clearly and succinctly?

I am not sure if I can, but I'll try.

You are anticipating what it might be like to be a Christian rather than experiencing it first-hand.
You are operating from theory rather than experience. The latter cannot be accurately estimated by outsiders.
