(2,256 posts)In short, theyre saying its Gods will. They believe this will give Trump a pass on anything he does.
Now, my theological response to this and Christians in general would be to remember, by that argument, God also chose Judas Iscariot too. He is the one that betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. The point is, just because you believe God has chosen a person to do something, doesnt mean that person is good or has been chosen to do good things. Even the Devil was chosen for a task. Sunday School lesson over.
Pass that on to your Christian friends.

(14,861 posts)that loyalty to Trump is a tenet of the Christian faith, and that opposing Trump is the same as opposing God. Some very popular and influential Christian leaders are regularly on the TV and radio, saying the same thing. This is one reason the Evangelical support for Trump hasn't changed, and likely will never change, regardless of his behavior.
You're right about the qualities of some of the people chosen by God. The Bible is stuffed with stories about men who did much worse things than Trump has ever dreamed of doing, whom God put into positions of great power, and showered with His favor and His blessings.

(6,406 posts)When Christ faced Pilate, he didn't say God put him there...only God allowed it....which leads me to this...
When tempted by Satan, Satan said he would give him all the kingdoms of the world...in other words...being head of government means there is a good chance of being an agent of Satan.
The "divine right to rule" is a tired and failed mid-evil aged philosophy that has died and withered away...these nutcases are trying bring us back to the dark ages.

This is the kind of shit with this administration that is infuriating, Trump is not the chosen one.

(8,547 posts)Chosen by Satan was my first thought because Satan was against everything Jesus preached and Trump is against everything Jesus preached
For example, Jesus said Suffer the little children to come into me. He didnt say Lock them up in cages

(14,187 posts)It is the duty of Jesus to carry trDump's golf clubs from one end of the golf course to the other, help trDump cheat on his score card, then Jesus massages trDump's feet once they get back to the clubhouse for a few cocktails. Then Jesus takes everyone out to the strip clubs to grab some damp pussy, quite often God tags along for the fun.
