Isn't that the only time jesus lost his S?

The fulfillment of the word of God is in Jesus. And I neither ignore the fulfillment of the word of God nor do I ignore the rape of children by pastors and deacons and worship leaders.

Imo, this is not God, rather a group of religious zealots, trying to justify their hate and their divisiveness & attain secular power justices by their hatred.

God and Jesus are the same person. This is outlined repeatedly in the Bible. The New Testament is a REBRANDING of the Old Testament because it was hard to sell an angry, raping, mass murdering God.

In the Bible, Jesus says "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's". Flipping over the moneychangers table in the temple seems indicate that church & state, sacred & secular, are separate. While, my belief informs my actions, I see nowhere where Jesus says to kill. Lots to discuss.

Truth.

Thank for sharing that excellent article! What I also take from the story is that Jesus was concerned with the temple/church and not with the halls of government. He did not seek governmental power or control.

This. Amen brother.

Jesus would have flipped his table.

Jesus is not their savior, he’s just the team mascot.

They’re equating Trump’s tantrums to Jesus lashing out at the money changers in the temple. That’s how they tell themselves he’s “Christian” even though Trump is essentially one of the money changers. It’s a bastardization of that particular story.

BTW- What is happening on this "transition" by the GSA? www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-t...

They use the same phrase about you … you are tarred with their Christian brush!

Flipping a table is a far cry from inciting violence & spewing hatred even in churches & sermons. If you search enough you can find a passage somewhere in the Bible to support anything you want it to.

As an atheist I take that ad offensive!

Thank you Adam ! They can’t see the log in their eye !

I’m guessing it’ll the modern day equivalent of sending Bathsheeba’s husband off to war so he can get wife number four.

I have heard of "short courses", but this one seems like it popped out of a Cracker Jack box. I doubt that two sentences will bring any sense of scale to the mind of those who have not wrestled with the topic previously. Now, if you could tap someone on the head with a magic wand, that might work.

You were lucky to have a father like that.

Good point!! I think about that all the time!! 👍

This pastor says amen. Tgat is correct.

I believe they think he is a necessary evil to achieve what they want. They really don't care about the suffering he will bring to those who are not like them. It is all about them and their political power. They truly are the worst hypocrites that exist.

MAGA is using Christianity to gain popularity to their Felon’s angry Hate Fest. He is the chosen one alright by the Devil to destroy all those that stand in his path to greed and power. God is watching and the real answer to all of this will reveal itself.

Jesus did not state hate, revenge and retribution. He did not hunt down people to inflict harm on them and their families.

I thought that was fairly obvious

Yes!!

I've toyed with the idea of moving to a blue state to get under a shield, but this right here is why I won't bother. There's nowhere to hide when fanatics rule the self-interested and the disinterested. We're all taking this ride whether we like it or not. Location doesn't matter.

I'm not sure Christian and MAGA fit in the same sentence.

They are absurd or ignorant. Wwjd not be a maga supporter.

🙏🏻

Our democracy was already perverted or Trump wouldn't exist

there is nothing like christian MAGA. Christianity is peace, love and care not chaos, hatred and division

Also: Trump is the guy behind the money Changer table! Jesus would be angry at Trump!

Bring up the Ten Commandments. Alson point out that Jesus would not split up families, take money from the poor and give it to the rich or let women bleed to death in hospital carparks.

Right?! He literally was a Southern Baptist - can't get more evangelical/christian than that

First they "held their noses" to get Roe v Wade overturned. This time - there's no excuse to stay silent and vote for an adjudicated sexual assualter, womanizer and greedy, petty, little man.

Also, people then misread the purpose of the quote "zeal for your house consumes me". It's not there for justification, but as a warning...

#FeloniousTrump 👇

Conservative Christians are OBSESSED with that part of the Bible. They cling to it like it's the cornerstone of their ideology.

Amen!

I remember Newt having an affair while leading the GOP against Bill Clinton for lying about an affair.

Are you surprised?

And they would never say that the mega churches are doing the same.

These stupid assholes know just enough about nothing to understand none of it

I made my own religion. It doesn’t hurt anybody.

I can say I won the lottery but that doesn’t make it so! Their action betrays them! I disagree with you on this point, Christianity is a badge of honor if practiced and preached according to the Bible! Just because some abuse& misinterpret it doesn’t make it a bad thing.

Congratulations on your sobriety that is amazing

Congratulations. Keep it up. You’re doing an awesome job. 😊

Watching Carter's 1st service reminds me he lived his beliefs, unlike MAGA. It also reminds me how much the GOP abhorred him.

That's because they treat Jesus & his teachings like an unread memo, tacked up on a board for 3 days, then tossed like trash. No more No less

If they support Trump, they are not your fellows. Period.

I don't do religion and even I know that.

The Bible is all about division

Exactly! I think they totally see it but don’t want to admit their prejudice against folks who don’t “look” like them.

I can't stop thinking about the contrast between President Carter...the type of Christian who truly tried to live the teachings of Jesus...and the felon who will be sitting in the white house who the people who pretend to be Christians voted for..

And each christian will interpret it to suit their own ends - the apologists are good at gymnastics!

God does not condone Trump's behavior.

He did turn water to whine and Trump is a big whiner so there is that And he rose from the dead which Trump practically did when he pumped his first after the attempted killing And Trump has many concepts of plans which will heal the sick Truly he is the chosen one

Do you point this out to them, and if so, what do they say?

His cabinet too

He’d have been collaborating with the Romans for profit and power. King Herod.

It’s like their stated love of the Constitution. It exists, but they only know the Second Amendment, and even that they don’t understand.

Do would be first table in the temple.

He also condemned the rich.

without anyone having a democratic control over it, that's a scary situation. However, I think we should all keep in mind that some folks didn't show up because of/or voted mostly against Kamala. "National" Christians are a part of the equation, not all of it. 2/2

Throw out the bankers, share the loaves and fishes assholes

Based on stories from goat herders entertaining themselves and the kids around the campfire.

Cool it with the antisemitism.

It's wilful obtuseness that they cannot/ WILL not see that their (100% invented, NOT IN THE BIBLE) "Prosperity Gospel" is a direct contradiction of Jesus turning out the moneylenders. They NEVER mention "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven."

Cannot explain my disgust w/the maga crowd & their stupidity, just can’t. How in hell do ppl get so stupid???!!!! Illiteracy in America & republican politicians , their pals, thrive & gobble on it w/delight& devilish greed & gluttony, giggling squealing, giddy with evil.

These MAGA Christians are a lost cause. Don't waste your time.

A Christian would never compare Trump to Jesus!

Present a group of trumpers with a list of adjectives used to describe Jesus (absent the obvious son of god). Then, ask them for a one word reaction. Most would say, "loser." It is what they've become.

They have been perverting the church for decades. I can remember ultra nationalists like Dodson; D. James Kennedy and many others. People ignore the local pastor leading his/her people to do the Christian outreach to the poor and oppressed. Sad!

I love that you are around and vocal!

They equate anger to hate, which is deranged Righteous anger at injustice & hoarding of wealth has absolutely zero to do with hatred, intolerance, & violence towards the poor & vulnerable They do literally the OPPOSITE of Jesus’ message Every religion has apparently failed us as humans, sadly

Adam we not might see eye to eye on a lot thing ,but I have the utmost respect for you putting the country before party you are a solid dude, much respect.🙏

Sarcasm 🙃

Silly Adam. MAGA cult can’t be rationalized with. They have been radicalized. They are all (potential) domestic terrorists.

Thats the example!!! The blatant display of capitalism in the lords house?!!!! The lights just arent on i swear

They don’t care because their spin on religion aligns with their bigotry. They believe it righteousness 🙄

Exactly. That was a rare moment of righteous indignation. Now try imagining what Jesus would have to say about mega churches and the evilness that surrounds all things Trump.

These people actually terrify me. My faith informs my behavior and no one else. These people who want a "Christian" nation have obviously never studied History . Our founding fathers knew exactly how Europe became soaked with blood over religion and wisely wanted no part of that.

My father was a Deacon and Trustee of The Presbyterian Church. He taught me to never trust a politician who told me how to worship nor a pastor who told me how to vote

Rally today to force Congress to take their oath seriously regarding the 14th Amendment section 3 to disqualify Trump from taking office! They were elected to uphold the Constitution of the United States and they need to be held accountable and take action now!! www.youtube.com/live/IPjJxJo...

They are blind and can not see through their hatred. It's sickens me to read posts from "Christians" following Trump's lead, calling Dems evil, scum, the enemy, and saying they hate America. Once hatred is unleashed and the fire kindled, it's hard to put out.

The more I center Rome, Augustus Caesar & Tiberius to the story of Jesus Christ more I'm starting to realise Jesus was liberal socialist who fought for his people's and masses right to self determination from the Roman empire & against pillaging of Eastern provinces for endless Rome wars in West.

I gave up church in 2016

Im not an atheist but I can’t bring myself to go to church since the election. Even though I would not go to a church that is not liberal. And it sucks to pick churches on politics too.

What is new about this? Christians have been doing it for centuries!

Are they missing the point? Or just making shit up? Nobody can be that dim.

MAGA is Republican values and American Christianity without the masks and the feel-good disguises, nothing more, nothing less.

No, money changing in the temple was common practice for sacrifice purchases. He was angry because some were RIPPING OFF THE POOR.

What are your thoughts on Marjorie Taylor Greene? She is the stool, no pun intended who supports Donald Trumps divine being.

Babe, they always miss the point. They couldn't find a point if it presented itself wrapped in gold, and in the flag, and emblazoned with Trump's name all over it. In their world, the point is irrelevant.

Exactly! Don’t they comprehend that they have aligned themselves with the money changers??

They went against everything that holds true in what Christianity is about.

Yep
