Hilarious to me that trump checks nearly every box for the literal antichrist, and the Christian’s love him.
Dude if Jesus appeared tomorrow the Republicans would line up to burn him. They don’t have real beliefs, just symbols.
While I think they would nail him to a cross, without noticing the irony, rather than burn him, you're not wrong. Jesus is too woke for them.
I was thinking of this exact thing when commenting! And now we learn that Trump was put here by God for reasons.
That's makes sense actually, anitchrist means the End Times^TM are here. Christians see that as a good thing
But isn’t getting deceived by him supposed to get you an express ticket to hell?
You’d think they’d be a little more cautious
Given the figure that most closely matches the projected boogeyman in something like 2 Thess 2 was Paul himself, they've been deceived for nearly two millennia now.
At this point, gravitating to a narcissist grifter is just par for the course.
Apocalyptic Death Cult.
Wish they would go ahead depart early.
Funnier yet that Jesus explictly warned against false profits like Trump.
*phophets, but he probably does have false profits, too.
Matthew 7:15-20
It's an interesting passage and possibly in the M source. Unless of course you were talking about the Mark passage.
His name is 669 when put into Aramaic and that old Middle East way of counting is applied to the letters?
Teasing. I take your meaning.
