“We thank you for the upcoming election, Lord — or caucus, as we call it in Iowa,” said Hundley, speaking from the sanctuary of his evangelical Christian church in his slight Texas drawl as his parishioners bowed their heads.
“It doesn’t matter what our opinion is,” he went on. “It’s really what’s your opinion that matters. But you’ve given us the privilege of being able to exercise a beautiful gift. The gift of vote. We thank you for that.”
While Hundley stops short of suggesting to his parishioners which candidate divine guidance should lead them to support, he is among more than 300 pastors and other faith leaders who’ve been described as supporters by former President Donald Trump’s campaign. It’s a message that some members of Hundley’s First Church of God have taken to heart, saying their faith informs their intention to caucus for Trump.
Ron Betts, a 72-year-old Republican who said he plans to caucus for “Trump all the way,” said he felt the former president “exemplified what Jesus would do.”
As a theistic Christian, if Jesus were to come back right now he would slap the shit out of trump on national television.
There is no excuse for anyone calling themselves followers of Christ to think anything but pity and regret for the life cheetolini has led.
If Jesus were to come back right now, his own followers would be the first to crucify him a second time.
“Followers”
And then tell him to turn the other cheek so he could slap that too.
Oh, but you probably don’t know about Supply Side Jesus, the new Jesus. He’d be right up there with the fat walrus.
Al Franken is a gem and him stepping down lessened all of congress.
That said, I sincerely with zero irony or humor want to start a reformation that reminds conservatives what Jesus was really about.
I don’t think Jesus was a theistic Christian
He probably wouldn’t even know the word Christos. Since he was from the sticks and almost certainly monolingual.
I beg to differ, it’s certain he spoke both Hebrew and Aramaic. Additionally, the label of ‘the annointed one’ was given to several false messiahs contemporary to Jesus’s time.
Additionally, romans were already using the sobriquet ‘Little Christs’ to mock his followers before the Crucifixion.
Ofc he was theistic … he was a Jew.
And ofc he wasn’t a Christian because that religion only developed because of his death.
That’s my point, he was Jewish, not a Christian.
