The very book that unites them all is very clear about submitting to authority wether it is good or bad that our rulers do . Read the bible & you tell me DB .

You are two islands over in this debate. You are arguing things that are not part of my question. It’s about Christian’s & what their bible calls them to do through god . It has nothing to do with a right they have or don’t have in men’s laws.

So you don’t believe or support the 1st Amendment.

If tomorrow there is no 1A , the role of a Christian according to the whole Bible would to be submissive to that law .
You know just as the Bible teaches : here is a list that supports my stance . www.openbible.info...
I don't think you are familiar with the Bill of Rights.
They restrict government, not people.
Who do you know that speaks for all Christians?
So by default if you call yourself a Christian , then the Bible speaks for you . You are confusing your will vs what god told you in his bible that he made sure was the true authoritative word of himself.
No.
You don't get to determine my faith or how I interpret it.
I am so glad you are here to tell me how to interpret my faith.
*whew*

Mother Jones is far far progressive for my likes . If you don’t agree with the Rolling Stone article , I suggest you research the pastors Trump keeps in his circle . They are all bats#it crazy & they believe Trump is divine in his crusade . Trump is a foul disgusting man who said the right things to white evangelicals for votes . That’s why he picked that dope Pence as his VP .

LOL, thanks, that explains it perfectly.
What does Mother Jones say?
I also have never met a Christian who thinks politicians are doing God's work.

I don't need to read some news to know and will not. There are always a few zealots trying to do something, but that does not make it God's work, it is only their work.
Maybe it feels like fake news to you, but from my honest eyes, politicians are most all doing the work of the devil. You can even bear witness to it by looking at the state and condition of EVERYTHING that politicians touch to know that it is even scientifically verifiable and repeatable to witness that their work is the works of wickedness.

Have you ever looked into the insanity of the Christian leaders Trump associates with ? They are goofier than a s#it house rat .

Trump surrounds himself with people who agree with him. It's his "thing". Why can't you just discuss the topic? Debate the facts?
Rolling Stone has no idea what "Christians" think anymore than I know what drives Progressives to want open borders and lawless cities. If you wish to believe what they say as representative of what "Christians" think, why not just get your thinking points from Mother Jones?
And if I'm wrong on what progressives think, having a progressive explain to me what part of that is incorrect and why would go a long way.
Right on

No it is not fake news but. The report was from 2019, but I think it is worse today. I live in an area where many of the people have been mesmerized by Trump.
I have quite a number of people that I love, that support Trump, and yes, they are Christians. But having said that, I don’t think any of them believe that any politician, including Trump, is doing God’s work. They see Trump more like a Caesar. They know he is doing man’s work.
Personally, I am not a fan of Trump, I think Trump is doing Trump’s work. I don’t think for one second that it is possible for Trump to care about anyone but himself. He thinks he is the chosen one, and his cultish followers believe him and think he is what he says he is.
I don’t believe everyone that supports Trump is cultish or a bit touched, but there are enough that this pastor felt a need to speak out.
I think Trump is a pure narcissist. He can’t help himself. His only concern is self. He is going to do what pleases Trump. If that also pleases you, then you will have no problem. But it is not for God, country, or the people. It is for Trump.
For the record.
I do not support Biden.
I am not a Democrat.
I am not a Rhino.
I am not a Republican.
I identify as a Dictionary, so you can call me anything. Try to be creative.
Yes , Biden is a monumental disaster.

no, I really don't spend that much time worrying about Trump. Not sure if you are aware, but he's not in office right now. A guy named Joe Biden is, and we have some serious issues going on with him currently. If Trump comes back, I'll return my attention to him again. eye on the ball, so to speak.
