As I read through all of the comments here in support of Trump, I can understand how they make perfect sense for the millions and millions of Americans who are not Christians. And I am not saying that Trump is the only one who fits this description either, for many of the other Candidates also fit this description.
However, for a professing Christian to support such people to be the Leader of their Nation is beyond my understanding. It would be akin to the disciples having said to Jesus, we love you Lord, and we choose you for our Savior, but, honestly, we want Caesar for our King because he is a strong leader.
In the case of Trump, as it is he who we are discussing, a Christian must completely ignore how the man has lived his entire life in contrast to the Gospel of Christ. A Christian must compromise their conviction of their faith to support such a person. A Christian must lay aside their beliefs in the Faith to vote for/support such a man.
Someone asked "are you looking for a Pastor or a President" or something like that.
I am looking for a President who is morally and spiritually grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What I am not looking for is the one who comes into those of the Faith pretending to be one of them for the purpose of Political gain. I am also unable to understand how Christians can so easily lay aside their Christian values and principles based on political ideology.
So many Scriptures come to mind as I consider all of this, but when it comes to Christians discussing Politics, they don't seem to want to turn to the Word of God for guidance, so Scriptures will not help I fear.
Each of us will choose who we will support/vote for, and that is simple truth. What I don't accept though is the idea that IF one votes for someone who is grounded in the Gospel of Christ, but they have no chance to win the Nomination/Election, that our vote is wasted, and won't count. I know better, because Scripture teaches me that such a vote does count.
IT COUNTS WITH GOD!
Every thought, every word, every deed is being recorded, and every person will give an account one day.
