A Reading Assignment For Self Professed Christians!

 


 At least ever since early summer of 2015, I have heard many people say "I am a Christian and I support Donald Trump."  I have a little reading assignment for those of you who have found yourselves in this group.  I would like to suggest to you that you take up your Bible, preferably the King James Version which is the closest in existence to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek languages in which the various books of the Bible were written, and begin reading the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts.  Read slowly and carefully and, if you have them rely heavily on a comprehensive Bible Dictionary and Concordance.  It might also help in this exercise if you have what is called a Red Letter Edition of the Bible in which what are supposed to be the direct words of Jesus are in red type.  As you read, every time you come to one of the directives about how a Christian should live their life from either Jesus or the twelve disciples quietly and honestly ask yourself "Did Donald Trump ever do that?"  The answer will always be a resounding "No!".  After you have completed reading these five books of the Bible and honestly responding to the question about each directive from Jesus or the twelve disciples, flip to the back of the Bible and read "Revelation".  Every time you come to one of the signs of the coming of the Anti-Christ, sit quietly and honestly ask yourself "Could this apply to Donald Trump?"  The answer will also nearly always be a resounding "Yes!"  

 


If you complete this assignment honestly, you will come to the realization that no one can be a practicing Christian and support Donald Trump.  If you find yourself in that position, I would suggest that you spend a few minutes deciding which it is you would be better off giving up, Donald Trump or your self professed Christianity.  Have a nice day!
