A dead faith but faith for sure.

James 2:14-26 New King James Version (NKJV)
Faith Without Works Is Dead
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?[c] 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[d] And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Trump went to church twice in 2017,
once being Christmas.

(He's still trying to read "Two Corinthians&quot

She was a hetaira. Naturally Donald would lust after her.

Who was the other?

You know the ones . . . Do as I say, Not as I Do

They are Pro-Life, but not anti-Death Penalty
They are Pro-Life, but against healthcare for children and families
They are Pro-Life, but for the NRA

Go figure

Separate from Christianity. I am an atheist but I am FAR more Christian than any evangelical. The GOP and corrupt religious leaders have made the GOP platform and evangelical beliefs one in the same. an embrace of hatred, greed and narcissism.

The fact they embrace drumpf is the perfect example of this.
