do you think trump supporters have ever read the bible?

Hardly any christians have read the bible. Christians who read the bible often become Atheists as a result.

Have they read:-

Matthew 25:31-40: Jesus says, "I was a stranger and you welcomed me" and "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me".

Hebrews 13:2: "Be sure to welcome strangers into your home".

Exodus 23:9: "Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners because you were foreigners in Egypt".

Leviticus 19:34: "The stranger who dwells among you must be treated as your native-born".

Luke 10: The Parable of the Good Samaritan: Jesus' followers are taught to show love and grace to the "other".

1 Peter 2:11: Christians are taught to see themselves as "foreigners and exiles".


Sad really, isn't it? Not one for "holy" books myself. All Reality is "revelation".

They might have ate a few pages out of it maybe, but read it? No.

Well, Chris Hedges did a deep dive into the American evangelical right wing and found most have merely memorized the same few passages that they can use to justify their particular brand of bigotry but shit their pants when they meet an ordained minister like himself who has actually studied the bible in detail.

I don’t think Trump has read the bible.

Don't tell me you think harris is a better choice? I cannot comprehend how any average citizen want her or any liberal democrap in office anywhere. Too bad her and ol' chomo joe sent all the tax payers $ to the unknown there's none to help the victims of the hurricanes. I don't get it, must like paying double and it was only going up in price! Trump is our only hope man!!!

It's the same old story. Various stats "reveal" that a high percentage of Americans believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and also reveal that a high percentage of Americans can't answer the simplest question about it.

Yeah, ofcourse there are Christian Trump supporters.

It's just Donald Trump isn't a Christian.

They don’t all claim to be Christian because they aren’t all Christians.

For example, Jews who support Trump definitely have not read the Christian bible.

LGBT Trump supporters might or might not have.

Why is that important to you and why do you assume all people who support a particular candidate are alike?

They all claim that do they?
You met them all?

You’re just upset there’s more disenfranchised Libs and repubs then there are still that vote for the uniparty… such as yourself

I grew up in a Christian home and I did read the bible a few times . The old testament is before christ came and the new testament is when he was born . Christ came to teach the new law not the old law .

My own apprehension of Christianity revolves around the great mystics of the Faith (Eckhart, St John of the Cross et al) the writings of many of the early Church Fathers, the writings of Thomas Merton, and various books of theology that tend to speak of the Universal Christ.

In that context, it doesn't really matter if the "trump supporters" have read the Bible or not. Their "christianity" is - through my own eyes - a modernist perversion of a great Faith.

Given most follow the Old Testament they aren't actually christians.

Probably can't read.

72 million people voted for him and you say they all say they are Christians? Are you sure about that or are you just stereotyping?

To be honest you could say that about both the republican and Democratic Party .

Knowing many, I would say most but not all have
