How Dare You Claim Donald Trump is the Godly Choice in This Election

Trump is not the "Godly" Choice

To the Christians Voting for Donald Trump:

Ephesians 5:11-12 says, “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.”

As followers of Christ, we are not simply called to have nothing to do with acts of evil and injustice. We are also called to expose those acts. We are to shine a light on the darkness. We are supposed to call those deeds of darkness by their name and not allow them to be carried out in our presence. The Gospel does not waver on this point.

The word of God does not say to overlook deeds of evil and hope someone else stops it. It does not say to excuse evil because we have seen it before. It does not say to choose the lesser of two evils because it could be worse. The Bible most certainly does not say to condone it. It says quite clearly to call evil by its name and expose it for what it is. There is no question at all, whatsoever, on this point.

You can vote for whoever you would like. This is America and that is your right. But how dare you claim Donald Trump is the Godly choice in this election.

He mocked a disabled reporter at one of his campaign rallies.

He has claimed a judge was biased and could not be trusted to make a lawful decision simply because he was a “Mexican.” This was only one of several offensive comments he has made about minorities, by the way.

He was recorded alluding to what amounts to gleefully sexually assaulting women in 2005. He has called numerous other women pigs, sluts, and other terrible names.

He has shown himself to be anything other than the “Godly” candidate the entire duration of his candidacy. In Mark 12:31 Jesus told his followers, “The second [commandment] is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.” Loving your neighbor as you love yourself does not include publicly ridiculing your neighbor, judging them based on their race or ethnicity, or treating your female neighbor like property. It means treating everyone with respect and dignity. Donald Trump has no clue what loving your neighbor even means. His actions have shown that, over and over again.

Donald Trump is not the “Godly” candidate this election cycle. How dare you try to claim he is, when there is a veritable mountain of evidence revealing Donald Trump as the complete opposite. Your assertion that he is the "chosen one" only serves to further confuse the lost in the world who need to know the real love and redemption that can be found within Christianity. The truth of Donald Trump is plain to see, whether you want to admit it or not.

As a Christian voter you have two options. You can choose to have nothing to do with the fruitless actions of Donald Trump and call them out for what they are; distasteful, disgusting, and repulsive. Or you can keep telling yourself that the Jesus you follow is as hateful as both you and Donald Trump seem to be, which is the biggest lie of all. The real Jesus is the man from Mark 12:31, or John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Vote for whoever you want. This is America and that is your right, but don’t you dare claim Donald Trump is the Christian choice in this election. He is the furthest thing from it and the evidence is clear.

He may be your choice, but Donald Trump is not the Godly choice.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
