I sure hope that this is how it plays out but only time will tell.

How about Paul Ryan as the third president, after Pence?

Why do people think Trump is a Christian?
One difference between you and President Trump is that there's not an army
of wolves out to destroy you and make every mistake you've ever made public.
You ought to focus on your own relationship with God and not
place yourself on His throne as judge of other mens' hearts.

Why do people think you are?
I guess that all depends on what a person thinks a Christian is. Like I personally think someone that believe's that the due penalty for our sin, that we ALL deserve, and that a perfactly just God would have to give us, was put on and taken by the sinless Jesus who laid His life down for us on the cross so that justice could be served, and so that His righteousness could be applied to us (by His grace alone completely undeserved and unearned by us), thereby bridging the gap between us and the Father opened up by Adam's original sin, allowing God's the Holy Spirit to indwell us forgiving our sin and forever changing us and empowering us to live more like we were created to, finding an understanding, peace, purpose, and fulfillment that ONLY He can is. This is what a Christian is in my experience and what I read. I don't think it's a club, philosophy, or set of words recited that we just simply decide to start following. I DEFINITELY don't think it's a political party we decide to back or support.

I would honestly love to hear what you think a Christian is Willie, because I know you think that my view makes God a big bad meany, and I've said it to you before and I'll repeat it again now, but if God did not put the wrath you've earned for your sins on Jesus that day, and you don't believe that Jesus took your due punishment from God on that cross, then brother that means you will be taking it after death. You're no spring chicken man, and my heart hurts to think that you may be one that Matthew 7:21-23 is describing on that day. I'm sure people with will think I'm being judgmental, and how dare I speak like this to you, but man I am only doing it because I care and think your deceived into thinking you have it all figured out, maybe it's for no reason, but I have hope He can use it for good. You are a nice guy, and I see you trying to do what you think is right for people, and can appreciate that, but to God all your "niceness and feelings of whats right" is like filthy rags. Truth saves, not feelings.

BTW I agree that whether or not "people think" you are a Christian is irrelevant, but when you get the nitty-gritty basics of the whole point of why Jesus even came wrong, it's not unreasonable to assume what's reasonable. I love you man, I hope you at least try to understand my angle here.

I could see Trump winning another term
If he keeps up as he has done
And doesn't mess up too badly
Remember there's still to fulfill years three

Pence though I don't see him becoming president
I could see Trump replacing him the next time
Pence is just not a leader, he's more like a tool bag
To succeed Trump you need someone more feisty with swag

As for Paul Ryan he put the knife too many times in the back
That's why we let Trump rise up with a strong hand across the Republicans' face with a smack
We don't want anymore hypocrite conservatives
You can keep them in the dying heretical churches

American politics is a pendulum
Let's watch how it swings
If you get 8 years of Trump there may be GOP fatigue
So don't be shocked if there's a Democrat waiting in the wings

we cannot judge another person's Christian-ness.

We can say this
24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God

and Mammon.



and
I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality

or greed


----------------------------------

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: 2 for presidents and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.


Lord, thank you for our president, current leaders, and system of democracy. Please give our leaders wisdom.

I sure hope Christ is back before another 24 years...because while this lineup looks lovely, I can't see it happening that way.

Maybe not, but Donald won - the polls suggested was going to lose.

Would someone be "not a christian" of they don't like Trump? I do not prefer Hillary whatsoever but many others I would prefer or Trump as well. I don't think he's been horrible like many blindly think but lets not pretend has been perfect without flaws like many conservatives think he is.
