Paula White-Cain compares Trump to Jesus

The Pope has it right. The others are doing the devil’s work, nothing to do with God at all.

I'd think people would be judged by their behavior, not by their faith identity. POTUS seems to besmirch faith even as we read of claims to protect religious freedom. Pope Leo is correct.

Do water supplies in the States get tested regularly for contamination, perhaps by narcotics such as LSD? There must be some reason for the apparent increase in total idiocy.

I think the Americans have a very strange relationship with religion. Always going on about thanking God for things. And yet I feel those of us in the UK such as myself who say we’re atheist or agnostic hold greater Christian values than many of them ( hope I’m not offending out American gransnetters by saying this). It infuriates me that Trumps spokeswoman wears a cross when spouting his lies for him.

Oh, goodness, where is a thunderbolt from heaven when you need one?

The agents of the Great Deceiver are embedded in all aspects of society. Churches are not exempt from such infiltration.

The Evangelists in the US are a bunch of far right religious extremists who are politically active, especially right now.
We tend to only ever think of religious extremism as being the monopoly of fanatical Islamists, but Evangelists believe women should stay at home, not be able to vote, and that gay people should be sent to correction facilities. They also teach creationism as opposed to Darwinism in school.

However, most Christians in the US are not extreme, thankfully.

There’s no increase, it was ever thus. Trump just opened Pandora’s box 😂

It’s an increasingly strange country

its all $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

It's blasphemy and in the Holiest week of the Christian calendar too.

Can Pope Leo negotiate with the Ayatollahs?

Wow, red herring and false argument in one post. I appreciate it was only posted as an attempt to reframe an argument to which you (fairly obviously) have no answer. However, the thread is talking about a specific comparison, not random scenarios involving religious figures. Those aren’t comparable situations. Bringing up unrelated religious figures doesn’t justify comparing a politician to Jesus.

Billy Graham's son Franklin who was there said "you raised him up for such a time as this. Father we pray you will give him victory".

Well, as it is Good Friday, is Graham Jr suggesting Trump should sacrifice himself as Jesus did, to save us all? The ultimate sacrifice for all the sins of mankind?

Military leaders have been telling troops that the war with Iran is part of God’s divine plan. More than 200 complaints have been received.

It's beginning to sound like a re-enactment of The Crusades.

But even non Evangelist Americans on eg Facebook are always mentioning God; they seem to slip in mentions of him when there have been tragic events shootings etc.

Ronib can post whatever she likes, DAR, it is not for you or anyone else to police posts.

Freedom to post doesn’t mean freedom from criticism. Both can exist at the same time.

Unbelievable! What an insult to Christians comparing this bloodthirsty, war mongering excuse for a man to Jesus.
I completely fail to understand people who worship Trump.

Agree 100% with you and of course with Pope Leo XIV ..

Well, as it is Good Friday, is Graham Jr suggesting Trump should sacrifice himself as Jesus did, to save us all?

He'd be more than welcome to do that so long as he didn't rise again on the third day....

Well said Daisy. Post within the rules, but we don't have to agree with all.

The Pope IS speaking out, ronib, to Catholics and to those pretending to be.

Days after the Popes message, I see Vance debuted a book he wrote about his journey as a Catholic.
