I've been a republican before you were born and to call trump christian is an oxymoron for he claims to be sinless. trump says and does whatever it takes to get votes which included lying, he knows without the vote of so-called christians he cannot win. There is no winner in this election just 2 pathetic liars running for president.I can only think, @DNB, that you are here playing the devil's advocate in order to elicit a response from me that would be in conjunction with what you really want to hear, on behalf of Trump and a Christian influence in government that would preserve our religious liberties.
Our hope is not in this world, that is true; but we also have to live in this world for as long as the rapture does not occur.
I am certain that you do not want for the devil to prevail in the United States to take away our religious freedom; your own religious freedom would be in jeopardy.
The only problem with your position is that it is only Christian integration in world politics that will stand for religious freedom. If world politics are left up to atheists or communists (the democrats) or other non-Christian/anti-Christian groups, religious freedom will be undermined and possibly even taken away.
As Christians, we believe that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17).
As a matter of fact, freedom of religion is something that is specifically established by Christianity in our culture.
It is written, that during the millennial period, when Jesus Christ will be ruling and reigning from Jerusalem, there will be religious freedom throughout the world (Micah 4:5).
This is because our God is a God of freedom and liberty.
And those who are opposed to our God tend to be opposed to freedom and liberty.
We give them the right to hold to whatever religious views they desire to hold; but it will not be tolerated when they attempt to impose their religious views on us apart from our own choice in the matter.
When they tell us that we cannot assemble in a church assembly in our nation anymore, then that interferes with our religious freedom to not forsake the assembly, which we are actually commanded to do in holy scripture (Hebrews 10:25).
Our nation is heathen, not Christian. Read any barna poll about the condition of America. Its an atheistic/agnostic nation, not a christian nation.
This has been the trend below over the past few decades beginning in the 50's and the 60's
“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”― Brennan Manning
hope this helps !!!
