What are Christians supposed to believe?

Being Christian means following the teachings of Jesus Christ, who emphasized love, compassion, humility, and forgiveness. It involves faith in Christ as the Son of God and Savior, a commitment to live according to His example, and adherence to the principles of the Bible. Central to Christianity is the belief in salvation through grace, the call to love God and neighbors, and the pursuit of a life marked by integrity, service, and the hope of eternal life.

What Does Donald Trump Believe?

Let’s cut right to the point. Donald Trump embodies the opposite of what Christ taught. Jesus taught love. The only thing Trump seems to love is power. Compassion, humility and forgiveness? Trump has made fun of everyone from veterans, POWs, and handicapped people to essentially all women.

Jesus taught humility, while Trump is perhaps the most arrogant person in the world today. Forgiveness is certainly not in his wheelhouse, either, as he has promised to seek prosecution for those that disagreed with him; he is vengeful in the way of a child.

Trump’s lack of integrity has been on display to the world since the eighties, as he plundered New York with multiple bankruptcies, refused to pay contractors, cheated on multiple wives and paid for sex with a porn star.

So why do Christians support Trump?

I really cannot understand the mental gymnastics behind the overwhelming support for a man who appears to contradict everything that Jesus taught. It appears that Supreme Court nominations play a big role in the decision-making process, as Trump latched onto the abortion issue, which was essentially manufactured by the Falwell crew back in the 70’s as a way to snatch Dixiecrats into the Republican fold. How this singular issue is enough to overcome his other flaws is beyond me.
