Uh-oh. Devout Christians on my FB page are PISSED that Trump is selling bibles. This is their straw. It will be fascinating to watch if its the straw that brings his run down. #bible#trumpbible
@TammyGentzel Why? Were they angry when he held up the bible in the square, upside down or not? Or when he couldn’t cite to a TV interviewer a single biblical passage? Or when he claimed to like the old and new testaments equally? Or are they just annoyed with it being launched during Holy Week?
@JonChevreau I wish I could answer those questions. Many have quoted Mathew 21: 12-13: “Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, “It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves. '” As though this act has tipped Trump into a place of transgression that his other actions did not.
Here’s a sample:
“As a follower of Jesus I am both disgusted and offended that any politician would sell the Word of God to raise money!!!! How about it my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? Enough is enough 😡”
