With media attention focused on last weekend’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump and on the Republican National Convention this week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a Trump campaign spokesperson went on Fox News Tuesday (July 16) from the convention hall to talk about the state of the campaign.
My mother use to say you can take any verse out of the Bible and use ir to justify anything. And these people prove that. They conveniently forget all the verses about caring for others. They would do well to read James 3 about uncontrolled speech (the tongue). And by the way, I taught 4th and 5th graders in Sunday School years ago. They really liked Amos, especially his condemnation of the rich taking advantage of the poor and when he called them "fat cows". These kids got what God is about, caring, loving, and merciful. Too bad these so-called adults can't get it.
Oh! My, My! Thanks for informing your readers about the Ephesians 6:11 goofyness of the Trumpaphiles. The tragic element is all of those "While Nationalist Christians who eat that sort of stuff up with a spoon, and have no concept of actual Bible research study and exegesis. Just had to share that Genesis 6:11 may well speak more to what our nation is facing from the Trump Authoritarians - "Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence." Keep that mighty pen going!!
I wonder if we should remind the antisemites in the Republican party that the Old Testament (which is what they seem most enamored of) was written to and for the Hebrew nation?

Thanks for doing the difficult work of listening to this gathering of self-righteous Trumpites. I just don't have the stomach for it.
