My response to a MAGA pastor who isn't a fan. 

Touche!

You nailed it.

🎯

“Vengeance is Mine, said the Lord”… not tRump’s…

That’s true. Jesus said in Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27, Luke 6:35, “ Love your enemies, bless and curse not, pray for those who spitefully use you “ Then Jesus did just that as He hung on the cross and prayed “ Father forgive them for they do not know what they do.” Luke 23:34.

They call those things woke sadly! They even call Jesus woke now. And say trump is strong, even wearing his diaper. Did u see the Magas now wearing t shirts that say “real men wear diapers”!!!!? Wow

"Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’" Matthew 25:41-45

And love your enemy or love your neighbour as you love yourself. Where does Trump practice these basic Christian beliefs. Thank you for your courage to speak the truth🙏

​@@elainesmith2334I think Trump didn't actually read the Bible, so he's confused Eros and Philia. (Passion and Brotherly Love. My Greek spelling is probably wrong.) That's why he thinks he has the right to grab women. He grew up in the 60's free love and all that projected onto the "love your neighbor" ❣️😂

​@@mamiemartinson4649just an FYI. None of the guys I grew up with in the 60s were ever inclined to grope women because of "free love." That's a silly comparison. Trump's perversions and bad morals arose from him being a spoiled brat millionaire who felt he was entitled to do what he wanted with women.

No, you voted for a wannabe President who believes in corruption, contempt, abortion, and killing others! Nice job! Not that is something to be proud of!

AMEN

Sermon on the Mount.

@@veramae4098 Bwahahahahaha! Sadly this is far from that! Correct title should be Sermon from living in the flesh would be more accurate. TDS is not much of a defense.

I voted for Trump quite hesitantly in 2016, and immediately saw the negative effects of my choice while I worked in a state government office. I had believed Obamacare to be an abomination until I read every one of its policies for my job and realized they were actually good policies. The day I saw Trump encouraging people to storm the capital was the day I decided to start voting Democrat. Proud of it now. No more cognitive dissonance for me. My parents think I've gone mad. I've lost friends. But I don't see any Christ-likeness in Trump and so I just can't support him. Ever. He's not even pro-life but has convinced so many that he is.

It lacks the understanding that can correct the problem. But knowing why it happens is too negative for those who live in la la land. It would reveal a dark side to Americanism and its influence in the world. By exposing darkness, light returns.

Really takes “love your neighbor” in a different direction.

Jesus is not closed borders, he welcomes all to his table.

​@@JoshuaHultswhat about some of those old testament verses that talk about leaving 10 percent of your field for the alien and the fatherless....you're supposed to honor not destroy.

@@David-xb8hz we are under new covenant not old. But even in old covenant a foreigner was allowed to live in israel just not own land. in fact the genealogy of Jesus has God fearing gentiles in it. In fact America is Godless, the philippines has more God believing Christians in it than America does, South korea by population sends more missionaries out than usa does. With all that said the church and the state do not mix according to Jesus. Therefore we are neither for or against politically, instead we pray and shine lights and let God handle the hard parts. If God sends foreigners we can witness to them, if he does not send then we can go to them.

Exactly 💯👍

I agree. Quite a few people online have compared Trump to the Golden Calf.

Orange calf

I’d say it’s more that MAGA worships a gilded ass passing itself off as golden stallion.

Bingo!

at least trump realises religion is nonsense and uses it to his advantage...to believe in a god in the first place is gullibility

@@paulrichards6894 so let me get this straight…you prefer Trump because he’s a con artist who gains power by scamming a bunch of religious people, but doesn’t then implement atheist policies and instead does everything the most evil Christians want to force on the general public.

@@user-ck9og8pe2g A side that seeks to create an “alternate reality” can not, by its very nature, be a seeker of truth. To seek truth is to seek reality. If you can not discern the difference between finding truth and finding what aligns with your predetermined perspective, then perhaps reflect on what truth is before you attempt to seek it. Break from your bubble. See the world. Meet its people. Discover. Become enlightened through experience. I think you’ll find truth seeking less of a struggle.

CON ARTIST PLAYED YOU !

dannychambers Yeah con artists are all about fooling you into being a kind loving human being.

If you begin by saying, I speak for God or I speak for anyone, you better look in the mirror and see who you really speak for. I don’t recognize the country that I live in. This is a different country, if I disagreed with my neighbor. I said we have a disagreement. Let’s settle it, I didn’t take the street in his name his family and all that he represented. I have to vote this year, I have to vote this year. It’s my duty as an American as a citizen. It’s my right. Who do I vote for clearly I have those candidates Represents something of what I think and feel. I don’t want guns in the street. I don’t want children shot down in school. What to do about transgender issues. I am sure of these things number one. Everyone needs to be treated with compassion and given the hope that is winning us in Jesus Christ. How do we do this? We preach the gospel we remember that Jesus said love your neighbor as you love yourself we practice the goodness of the Samaritan practice, we practice the honesty and sometimes speaking of the apostle Paul. Most of all we practiced the humility of Jesus and the love of Jesus for all of creation, all of God’s people, whoever and wherever they may be. By the way, I’m 76, I’m trained as a pastor but I work in a lot of secular jobs in order to make my ends meet. I don’t believe we are going to get anything better by turning back clock and forcing people into corners because they don’t fit the mold of what is currently going on. Jesus brought light and love into the world. He said come out of the darkness come into the glorious light, which is God and Jesus Christ his son. Don’t pull curtains over the issues that you don’t want to deal with or you want to push harder, I know you do. The one thing we were always told in my school was you cannot judge, and you place your own salvation in danger. When we judge, we take upon ourselves to power of God to make decisions for everyone else, but we have to live with those decisions as well. I don’t like some decisions I’ve already made just for me and my family. Why would I do anything for anyone else like that?

There's a word for people who perceive some deep spiritual significance to Donald Trump: "Sucker."

Hi..Pastor..Good day..I enjoyed watching and listening to you.. I had been asking FATHER GOD TO BE OUR PRESIDENT THROUGH MR JOE BIDEN..I KNOW GOD LISTENS TO THE PRAYERS OF HIS CHILDREN (CHRISTIANS BY HEART)..GOD BLESS US ALL.❤

I was a staunch conservative for my entire life until 2016. I'll happily be called a liberal or Democrat by comparison. I understand fully how he was able to consolidate everyone under his brand of fascism. He did so by bribing the evangelical Leaders, hiring Cambridge analytica to create Qanon, the lock her up movement, and did so through the theft of Facebook user metadata, without a single users consent(why it's considered theft). They built algorithms based on the psychological profile data gleaned from that metadata, which then have the co-opted media networks the ammo necessary to create tailored content, to take advantage of those psychological pressure points. I refuse to be a part of any party or group, that willingly toys with it's people's perceptions and mental stability. Watching what it's done to my loved ones, had been heartbreaking. A lot of them have lost everything because they fell hard into the paranoia and insanity of these groups. They turned against their own children, family, for Trump. You can't have a civil conversation, a normal exchange with them, everything always goes back to Trump and a crazy conspiracy. These were people that worked hard, were model neighbors, that would do anything for anyone, and now they're full of hate and distrust. Seeing what it's fine to the country has been hardest. I see us entering into a civil war within five years. I think it's inescapable now. May God forgive us for destroying ourselves and being led astray

@@ElsieVillar-sq4vhYou’re making the same mistake as Trump supporters.

As the pastor so eloquently stated our kingdom isn't of this world we are just representatives / ambassadors of and for Christ that are allowing the love, empathy,compassion etc shine through us

i want to know how so many Americans believe in a middle eastern probably egyptian god??

This is what I don't understand. How can any Christian see the way that Trump acts and think that it's ok to elect a man who says and does the things Trump does.

And also, Trump lyingly CLAIMS to be a man of God, although he doesn't have a favorite quote in the Bible, he doesn't have a preference of New Testament over Old, he isn't known to go to church on a regular basis, he's profane and yet claims to be a righteous Christian, so he really doesn't support Christian values.

@@mamiemartinson4649 ah, yeah, i don't count that lol. I am now kind of uncomfortable that we call it "following"... Whatever, it's the context that matters.

I was thinking exactly this the other day when driving through rural Texas and realizing that only Trump has followers in your definition, displaying their giant Trump banners and flags outside their homes. I have never seen this sort of idolization for a politician before, and I hope once Trump is gone I never see it again.

@@dmc7911 there's definitely things like the bumper stickers (usually stay on forever) and yard signs (usually gone after election), but yeah, the merch collections for Trump are much more like "obsessed with this person" level... Fwiw, the Biden campaign website DOES have a flag, and I've heard from people who live in deep red areas flying one to um...add more color to their area? you could probably nutpick and find a Biden devotee, but that's beside the point. The follower aspect goes beyond merch into, "I will not believe anything negative about this man, no matter how much proof there is. Only he tells the truth." 😬 TBH politician merch makes me uncomfortable. I prefer to just donate to a campaign and not have the bits and bobs. I have political shirts, but they're pro-democracy/human rights shirts, not personality shirts (like "VOTE!" and "be kind" and "places that start by burning books end by burning people"). The one exception is i have a sweatshirt with the photo of Bernie sitting at the inauguration with his mask and mittens. I don't have strong feelings about him, I just thought it was super cute and he gave all the proceeds to the Vermont food banks instead of his campaign. Whatever. 🤷 I might want a dark brandon shirt just to be a troll, though. But proper dark, with bat wings and tentacles and hellfire behind him. 🤣

@@dmc7911 Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And to some extent Ronald Regan, but with him it never quite reached the fevered pitch. Perhaps also Abraham Lincoln, though my reading of history would seem to point to that kind of idolization occurring after he was assassinated.

@bobsnead1153 Thanks for saying that. My goal for the channel, eventually, is to transition it into what I had hoped when I renamed it Culture, Faith, and Politics. I want to cover broad based topics that would be of interest to people of any faith (or non-faith). Good books, movies, music, and interviews with fascinating people. This political thing is hopefully just a season on the channel. I'm excited that people are finding the channel who might enjoy the broader content I hope to do someday.

True Christianity is not a religion, an establishment or an organization. It is a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is placing full faith and trust in HIm, and in His work, and becoming molded into His image. Sadly, organized religion today, denominations, etc are so hypocritical to true Biblical doctrine due to ignorance and apathy, that we must read Jesus' words to the Pharisees and the woes He proclaimed against them, and evaluate ourselves in the same light, because we have become them. Continue to follow Christ. He is the only Way, He is the only Truth, He is the only Light.

I can't say they damage my faith, because the Bible warned us that people would reject truth for things that tickle their ears. The politically idolatrous Trump supporters embody that verse perfectly.

love...how is cancer and motor neurone disease love iyo??

Well put!

Wow

of course that isn't love. But His/Her/Their kingdom is not of this world. Remember He has prepared a place for us to go after this life where there will be no more suffering, nor loneliness, nor pain. In this world, His love is all around our hearts and souls, and He wants nothing more than for each one of us to let Him in. I don't always feel that love myself, but I know it is there. I like to think others see Him in me whenever I help a sister, or make a brother smile, or cry with them... or listen.... or really see my fellow human. May the Lord bless you and reveal Himself to you. With love...

That is what I'm starting to notice "religion" it is Christian in name only. Their religion is Christianity but they have pulled political ideology into their theology. To a point of looking at Trump and saying they are voting for a candidate with like minded values. A man who even atheist see as completely opposite to the teaching of Christ. Or Biden who is a life long Catholic, no indication of infidelity with either of his two wives one of which ended in death not divorce. Biden who rode public transportation to work as a US congressman. Yeah one of his kids had or has issues that's 100% relatable to 95% of normally thinking parents. Biden is not a Communist or socialist the economy is booming despite high prices. Our military is so strong giving our old out dated equipment away is grinding Russia up and we are supporting America jobs replacing it. Biden actually gamed the oil industry while they sold him we did too, then when our flooding the market with oil it went low and Biden bought it all back and made a profit. Biden doesn't ask others to bend the knee and profess loyalty. I don't see good values or even American ones in Trump other than greed is good, as well as, lies, rape, violence, fraude, infidelity, and hate are ok. What Christian values does I can not do my job with out breaking the law come from? Where does it say if I have religion and I am a good person I get to go to heaven, because that's why you're good. It is unending the obvious lack of Christian values other than Trump is going to install a false Christianity into schools and government?

Strength through Power is such an ominous phrase. When I see people use phrases like that I immediately distrust whatever else they might say.

He's talking about the white kind of Power ... but that's the devil

Everyone, not a Christian, will be forced to justify themselves. That won't go well for the lost, and it'll be far worse for wolves in sheep's clothing. If a rich American is a wolf, he'll be most harshly judged, because to whom much is given, much will be required.

Yep, not freedom of religion if we are being forced to follow a single religion. Looking at you, Oklahoma, proposing a bill that would require the bible be taught is history and science classes in public schools.

Same. As a fellow atheist, it's fair to say I yearn for truth, wise words, wholesome thoughts and keen observations. I taught science for 20 years, but I also have a deep love for the arts. One does not exist at the expense of the others. If this pastor led a flock near me, I would go and listen...enthusiastically.

Same here. Thank you kind Sir....

So happy for you. It may have been the hardest thing you have done but it was also the best thing you could have done for you.

In an atheist but I still attend a non denominational church because of the sense of community and inclusion that church has.

Well!! You broke out of cult that’s a big deal!! But here’s the thing God IS NOT A religion and there’s many devils within the church and you Can’t study the Bible with just your eyes because you have to be willing to open your soul in order to hear God !! And no one is an atheist because everyone worships something whatever it may be!!

You are exactly right Pat! We are not to force but to tell, and to show by our lifestyle. I notice you didn’t get into the minutiae of what the anonymous pastor saw as good. Let me just say a few things, law and order? Donald Trump? Does he not know, has he not heard about Donald’s indictments, some 80 something accounts. Many of which he has confessed to and is seeking immunity for. The scriptures repeatedly tell us to be careful how we treat the immigrant and the stranger among us. Trump was in office four years how many days did he close the border? Spoiler alert none. The economy is doing fine, I don’t know where he is in America but I expect that if his congregation is stable so is the church’s income. If everybody had Jesus what a wonderful world this would be, that goes without saying. But Jesus said, whosoever WILL let him/her come. Morality/Faith cannot be legislated, nor does God want it to be. Just a listen to Trump’s non policies with the theme of revenge should be enough to give pause to any student of the Bible, vengeance is mine saith the Lord, I will repay. You sir are doing a great work. God has his hand on you. I join you in your prayers for that pastor

2 Corinthians 5:20 says how JB, DJT and all servants need to be character judged.

@@randalh2347, Really the only thing Christians disagree with President Biden on is abortion. This is based on the religious belief that the soul bonds with the body at conception and NOT at birth. Since this belief can NOT in any way be scientifically proven making any law based on such a belief can NOT be justified. It would be imposing a minority RELIGIOUS belief on the majority and against our Constitution. The only appropriate course of action is for those religious believers to convince others of their beliefs. VOLUNTARILY. ¿You want a law? Provide the scientific proof of your assertion and then base law on FACT, not religious conjecture.

Because, @@randalh2347, Joe Biden is a man of spiritual character. He also recognizes that the basis for anti-abortion sentiment is the entirely religious belief that the soul/spirit bonds with the body prior to birth. You can't base laws on unsubstantiated religious beliefs that are not even shared among all denominations, let alone all religions. Arguably even the Bible says human life begins at first breath upon delivery-NOT conception. donald trump, on the other hand, is the embodiment of everything Jesus spoke against. When you make a bargain with the Devil, don't be surprised when the consequences are not remotely what you thought you were bargaining for.

@@randalh2347 😂😂😂

I'm also a member. 🎖

Truly spoken!

We were tested on this with Reagan [who also practiced no discernible faith] and Falwell when they wanted to proclaim a christian nation, rather than a country of freedom to practice. I remember William Sloan Coffin asking , "So which narrow criteria of which sect will become the dictator of our values and behavior?"

2 Timothy 4:3-4 Christian Standard Bible 3 For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear what they want to hear. 4 They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.

twas always thus.

Could this blind allegiance to Trump be the "strong delusion" spoken of in the Bible? Could Trump be the Antichrist? I'm really starting to believe it and I don't say that lightly.

You are correct. Consider this: the devil, demons have power to deceive. They don't use logic or reason to do it, they use their power. And some are deceived. Now this does not mean that I think Biden is a righteous man - frankly I don't know enough about his private character to make a judgement. I fundamentally disagree with him on abortion, but on most other matters I probably agree with him. Other than that issue he seems to be a decent man. I'm sure people could point to significant spiritual failings in me. But I think, I THINK Biden is a Christian. I have absolutely no reason to think Trump is. There's no fruit in keeping with repentance that I can discern.

As am I.

If Christ really existed (and cared), he'd openly and unambiguously speak to his followers and clear this mess up.

I am unfortunately not surprised. Trump tells a lot of people what they want to hear. Due to that " flattery" many Christians are no longer even interested in listening to sound doctrine. Also this Pastor who claims that Donald Trump is the more " Christian candidate" is clearly judging Joe Biden as if he were a pastor. What I find ironic is that Joe Biden at least comes across like a compassionate human being who cares about people other than himself ( I am not saying that is what he is really like) I am just saying that He doesn't actually come across as a man who wants to be worshipped.

Donald Trump to me is the Exact opposite of what a Christian should be. And Jesus DEFINITELY didn't promote the idea of " Strength through power". Not by might nor by power but by MY SPIRIT says the Lord. This pastor doesn't understand what he is saying at all.

"Bring us Barabas" - MAGA Christians, probably. :/

Sure He did. He also said that "I have not come to bring peace but a sword". He also said some mean things to people, calling them a "brood of vipers" and "sons of hell". And He also took a whip to others and drove them out from where they should have never been allowed. I'm not sure what Bible you're reading, but it ain't my NKJV !

@@markanthony3275 Please note that the Gospel of John is very specific that Jesus used the whip on sheep and cattle. He was careful that no property was damaged - thwapping sheep and cows with a rope won't damage them; coins can be picked up; and he took care that the fragile doves were carried out. Hardly a picture of an enraged man flailing about violently and hurting people, as he wasn't even hurting animals. Jesus was extraordinarily powerful, but not in a worldly way.

@@aaronfleming9426 Does it say that in John? No it doesn't...why would Jesus whip sheep and cattle when they did not choose to be there? He whipped the people who brought them there! And no, it wasn't a sustainably made rope that He used either.

I agree that it is difficult to watch as family and friends head into the fire. However, remember that God is in charge and the Bible says good will always win over evil. Perhaps we needed this trump wakeup call before people wandered too far away from God. I don't know the reason; I just trust that God has this.

​@@jadeh2699thank you for the reminder

Separating the sheep from the goats

@@jadeh2699 It shows me a hopeful sign that humanity is moving forward by exposing the darkness. This is a cleansing fire.

​@@Rae6357how dear are those friends really if they are Trumpers? What does that say about who they are and what they stand for? I can't be around people like that who back a man who is evil.

I’m an atheist and I’m on this guy’s side, and yours. You don’t have to be a Christian to hold these values. Christians, true or otherwise, don’t have a monopoly on moral beliefs and behavior.

Love for Rev Ed.

Hear hear

The Jewish Scriptures (what Christians call the OT) mention loving and caring for the stranger, the resident alien, about 30-40 times. And this: What if Egypt had "closed borders" when Jesus' family wanted to flee there?

I actually couldn't agree more

The "closed border" approach is not THE Christian point of view. Many Christians--presumably not the MAGA "Christians"--are appalled at Trump's racist, xenophobic, heartless, punitive, vindictive, cruel approach to border issues. I suppose many extreme-right "Christians" forget, ignore, or don't know how many times the Bible says to WELCOME THE STRANGER. Such "Christians", IMO, have confused Christianity with White Supremacy. These "Christians", descendants of European immigrants, who by and large didn't have the Native Americans' permission to come here, now want to slam the door of immigration behind them.

Was the person the good Samaritan helped , a robber? Was he a drug dealer? Was he a child trafficker.Was he a spy for a foreign country? No...he was the victim of such. And this is the crucial mistake well meaning Christians are making...these are NOT nice people you are letting flood into your country! Are you happy that there are so many people in Detroit , Chicago, Minneapolis and other cities chanting "death to America" in broad daylight ? Well...guess how many of them got into your country? They came across the border illegally. You say you don't understand border protection as a Christian...do you lock your car at the mall? Do you lock your front door at night? Well if you do, then don't say you don't understand border protection!

I don't trust anything Pat says...because the fact is that the world never was a peaceful as when Trump ran America, and was never so war torn as when Trump wasn't running America. So Trump was good for the world , not evil...Joe Biden is evil. Pat's problem is that he listens to left wingers like Tim Alberta and believes all the lies about Trump that comes from them. I point out that left wing ideology is demonic and diametrically opposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ.Pat goes after Trump because Trump is so mean to those "poor immigrants", yet Pat locks his door every night, so why can't America lock it's doors? For the record, I'm a faithful believer of Jesus Christ from Canada, so I have no skin in the game in America...except to warn against naive people like Pat. He will not tell anyone to vote for Trump...at the same time he refuses to talk about all the evil Biden has done....like the inappropriate showers he was taking with his daughter as revealed in the diary she left behind on a summer holiday . How come no outrage against that Mr. Kahnke? Hypocrite!
