I viewed with horror as a Christian that Trump is now hawking Bibles to help him finance his campaign. There’s a pretty good article that outlines a lot of my objections. Particularly as today is Good Friday, the remembrance of Jesus Christ’s Sacrifice to save we mortals from our sins:
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/03/trump-god-bless-usa-bible-lee-greenwood-reviews-paper-moon-o-brother-where-art-thou.htmlThe article compared Trump to the Grifters of the 1930’s and movie characters. I think he is extremely accurate in his description.
The article quotes 2 Corintians 2:17 – Bible Reference
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=2+Corinthians+2%3A17The passage states the following:
ESV For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ. NIV Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
Simply again – you do not profit from our creator’s words, to do so is blasphemy.
I also find it ironic that Trump, who has violated at least three of the Ten Commandments is pushing his Bible:
Number 7: You shall not commit adultery – Stormy Daniels and the Playboy Bunny while his wife was carrying his youngest son. His past includes cheating on his first and second wife.
Number 8. You shall not steal – Fake charity, fake university, and the best one stiffing investors and contractors in Atlantic City.
Number 9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. In other words, you shall not lie. Trump continues to give falsehoods, including about the 2020 election.
And this guy, Trump, is pushing the word of God to make money – this is nothing short of shameful. He is not worthy of the Presidency.
