In 2008, Barack Obama’s entire life was scrutinized to the point that people even questioned his origin of birth.
It’s only fair that we do the same with Donald Trump.
Except we won’t dwell on where we he was born.
Is Donald Trump a Christian? (Stop telling yourself that Barack Obama is not, too. YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT. Stay Focused.)
As written in Politico:
As written in Politico:
In an interview with columnist Cal Thomas, Trump was asked, "You have said you never felt the need to ask for God’s forgiveness, and yet repentance for one’s sins is a precondition to salvation. I ask you the question Jesus asked of Peter: Who do you say He is?"

"I will be asking for forgiveness, but hopefully I won’t have to be asking for much forgiveness. As you know, I am Presbyterian and Protestant. I’ve had great relationships and developed even greater relationships with ministers. We have tremendous support from the clergy. I think I will be doing very well during the election with evangelicals and with Christians," Trump said, according to the transcript."In the Middle East — and this is prior to the migration — you had almost no chance of coming into the United States. Christians from Syria, of which there were many, many of their heads … chopped off. If you were a Muslim from Syria, it was one of the easiest places to come in (to the U.S.). I thought that was deplorable."
He added, "I’m going to treat my religion, which is Christian, with great respect and care."
Thomas concluded by asking, "Who do you say Jesus is?"
"Jesus to me is somebody I can think about for security and confidence," Trump said. "Somebody I can revere in terms of bravery and in terms of courage and, because I consider the Christian religion so important, somebody I can totally rely on in my own mind."

From the Business Insider:
"I like to be good. I don't like to have to ask for forgiveness. And I am good. I don't do a lot of things that are bad. I try to do nothing that is bad."
"I am not sure I have," Trump said when asked if he'd ever asked God for forgiveness. "I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so," he said. "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."
He at least in a roundabout way appears to claim that he is.
Wayne Grudem wrote an Op-Ed concerning the Christian vote in this election. He suggested that voting for Donald Trump is a "morally good choice'.
Take note.
The man who wrote this is not called of God. He's essentially a religious-Babylonian.
Some of my Christian friends tell me they can’t in good conscience vote for Donald Trump because, when faced with a choice between “the lesser of two evils,” the morally right thing is to choose neither one. They recommend voting for a third-party or write-in candidate.
As a professor who has taught Christian ethics for 39 years, I think their analysis is incorrect. Now that Trump has won the GOP nomination, I think voting for Trump is a morally good choice.
American citizens need patience with each other in this difficult political season. Close friends are inevitably going to make different decisions about the election. We still need to respect each other and thank God that we live in a democracy with freedom to differ about politics. And we need to keep talking with each other – because democracies function best when thoughtful citizens can calmly and patiently dialog about the reasons for their differences. This is my contribution to that discussion.

Since the question of Morality has come into play, we’ll examine the history of Trump to see if he’s actually lived up the claim of being a Christian.
Wayne makes an attempt to clean up the image of Trump by ignoring the immoral things he has done.
"A good candidate with flaws" --Wayne Grudem
He's not just flawed, he's morally corrupt. What he says and does proves that he is.
“I won’t use foul language,” Trump vowed at a campaign event. “I’m just not gonna do it.”
“You can tell them to go fuck themselves!” Trump said to cheers at one of his rallies.
“I can’t understand a word he’s fucking saying,” he told an audience member at another one of his events. “Where do you come from?”
“Listen, you motherfucker,” Trump says at some other event where it doesn’t even matter anymore.
Source:
Would a Christian use such foul language in such a public manner?"
Why would he speak in such manner if he really is at least trying to be a Christian?
How does Donald Trump feel about women?
“You have to treat ’em like shit”
“It doesn’t really matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass” “That must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees”
--Donald Trump to a female contestant on Celebrity Apprentice
We really should not be surprised to see him defend the man who is helping him with his attempt to enter the White House. More on that later.
It has recently been revealed that he made some rather disturbing statements of camera in 2005:
“I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” Trump says. “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”
“And when you’re a star, they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”
“Whatever you want,” says another voice, apparently Bush’s.
“Grab them by the p---y,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”
More here:
For the record he’s given a half-attempted apology:
With his brow furrowed and his face a tight scowl, Mr. Trump sat hunched in a chair inside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, with the glittering nighttime New York City skyline behind him.
“I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not,” said Mr.
Actually, he has said that:
@Helena_Torry I consider myself too perfect and have no faults.
11:02 AM - 13 Jan 2014
He Continues:
Trump, a 70-year-old real estate developer and former reality television star.
Then came the apologetic part.
“I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more-than-a-decade-old video are one of them,”
“Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am,” Mr. Trump continued.
“I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize,” he said.
He then deflects with the following:
“Hillary Clinton and her kind have run our country into the ground,” Mr. Trump said. “I’ve said some foolish things, but there’s a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women, and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims.”
He brings up Bill Clinton as if he knows something that we don’t.
We’ll get into that later.
“It would be really disappointing — not really — but it would depend on what’s inside the magazine. I don’t think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
Trump continues…
“You know who’s one of the great beauties of the world, according to everybody? And I helped create her. Ivanka. My daughter, Ivanka. She’s 6 feet tall, she’s got the best body. She made a lot money as a model—a tremendous amount.”
Who talks about their own daughter in such a manner?
Would a man of God behave in such a manner with any woman that was not his wife?
I Timothy 5:2
“The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity."
You can find 42 other things he's said about women that would cause one to question their view of Trump as Christian.
Should a man of God be this hypocritical about marriage infidelity?
Cue Trump at the rally: “Hillary Clinton’s only loyalty is to her financial contributors and to herself. I don’t even think she’s loyal to Bill, if you want to know the truth.”
Yep, you read that right: Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton, a woman who’s held her family together amid affairs by her husband, of committing adultery based on no evidence whatsoever. But, like most accusations hurled by Trump, it’s pure projection.
For if you recall, Trump is on his third marriage. His first, to Ivana, ended acrimoniously when Trump carried on a very public affair with Marla Maples. “By 1987, during services at the Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan, Trump was secretly romancing Maples as he found ways to temporarily ditch Ivana and their kids,” reported People magazine.
“Of course, Trump’s own first marriage ended when he cheated on [Ivana] with his eventual second wife [Maples],” said Meyers. “So you might think maybe this isn’t the best argument for Trump to make—which is why the Trump team sent their best man, Rudy Giuliani, to go on TV and make it again.”
Sure enough, the former New York mayor appeared on numerous cable-news programs defending Trump’s baseless smear against Hillary, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper it was “fair game” and Meet the Press’s Chuck Todd that “everybody” commits infidelities.
Rudy would know. His first marriage, to his second-cousin Regina Peruggi, ended in divorce, and his second marriage, to Donna Hanover, ended when he conducted a high-profile affair with Judith Nathan—even going so far as providing her with security and chauffeur services courtesy of the NYPD while he was mayor (translation: taxpayers helped pay for Rudy concealing his affair).

Let’s take another look at Trump’s own words.
Trump: “An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud.”
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Trump: “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. Thank you. It’s true.”
Matthew 25:35-36
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
=============
Trump: “I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”
Exodus 22:21
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
=============
Trump: “The beauty of me is that I’m very rich.”
Matthew 6:19-21
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Trump: “The point is, you can never be too greedy.”
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Trump: “I think apologizing’s a great thing, but you have to be wrong. I will absolutely apologize, sometime in the hopefully distant future, if I’m ever wrong.”
Matthew 23:12
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Let’s move to the violence he’s incited at his own rallies:
Donald Trump: “I certainly don’t incite violence and … I don’t condone violence” http://cnn.it/1RF2Ody @CNNTonight
He mouthed: "I'll beat the crap out of you,"
--at a campaign rally in Kansas City.
“You know, part of the problem and part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right?"
--Trump rally in St. Louis, Missouri,
"The audience hit back and that's what we need a little bit more of."
--rally in Florida
“They used to treat them very, very rough, and when they protested once, they would not do it again so easily,” he said, before lamenting "we've become weak."
--rally in Fayetteville
"Get him out," he then said. "Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it."
--At a rally in Michigan
"I'd like to punch him in the face."
Trump lamented that "we're not allowed to punch back anymore" and reminisced about the halcyon "old days," when a protester would "be carried out on a stretcher."
--At a Las Vegas rally
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously." He again promised to pay for any legal fees associated with an assault.
--After a protester threw a tomato at Trump at a previous event, he encouraged fighting at a later campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in early February.
"Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing," the now frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination told Fox & Friends the next day.
--at a campaign event in Birmingham, Alabama
"I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will."
--at a rally in Michigan
It appears that he indeed condones violence, which also makes him a liar.
Do you think Jesus would approve of him suggesting that people should fight those who disagree with him?
We could go through all 190+ things Trump has said that not only prove he is not a Christian, make him unfit to be President, but we won't.
If you’re starting to question if he truly had a Christian upbringing, that’s not an accident.
If you’re still convinced he’s a good man trying to save America from the clutches of the Elite, well…
The following may change your mind.
Donald Trump attended church services and was taught the very doctrine he lives by none other than 33 Degree Freemason Norman Vincent Peale. Let's take a look at Norman for a moment.
Norman Vincent Peale
Born May 31, 1898 - December 24, 1993
Ordained a Methodist Episcopal minister, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was the pastor of Marble Collegiate Church for 52 years and the author of 46 books, including The Power of Positive Thinking.
Member of Midwood Lodge No. 1062, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Grand Chaplain: 1949-51 Grand Lodge of New York
"Masonry encourages men to be good and that can never conflict with Christianity."
The Word of God says otherwise in John 14:6
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Norman had more to say…
"There is, as I see it, nothing like Masonry. It is unique in its fellowship which spreads over much of the earth, in addition to our own country. Moreover, this in-depth fellowship spans the years, even the centuries, running back into antiquity. To me it means a personal relationship with great historical personalities and, taken by and large, also with about the finest body of men whom it is possible to assemble anywhere."
If you’re unsure of what Freemasonry is, watch this short documentary ‘Freemasonry From Darkness To Light’ to learn more.
====================
“I still remember [Peale’s] sermons,” Trump told the Iowa Family Leadership Summit in July. “You could listen to him all day long.
And when you left the church, you were disappointed it was over. He was the greatest guy.”
--Donald Trump
Essentially what Norman Peale teaches, is the prosperity doctrine. Also known as ‘The Secret’, or the ‘Law of Attraction’. This was featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show. He’s attracted other prosperity teachers that endorse him.
He attended Fordham University, a Jesuit school. Which is interesting, because Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton's Vice Presidential running mate, is the first openly known Jesuit to run for office.
Just in case you're thinking it’s not a strong enough connection, take a look at what the The Ignatian Solidarity Network had to about this connection:
"Kaine’s experience volunteering at a Jesuit-run vocational school in the early 1980’s has influenced his continue work in Congress, Kaine continues to be fluent in Spanish and has focused efforts of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on which he serves, on the U.S. role in the violence-plagued Central American country."
The article continues...
"Kaine is not the only member of a 2016 presidential ticket to be educated at a Jesuit institution. Mr. Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, studied at Fordham University for two years before transferring to the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania."

Let’s talk about his grandfather for a moment.
In 1892, Friedrich became a citizen, lying about his age in the process by saying he’d landed in New York two years before he actually had. Two friends accompanied him to the proceedings to attest to his good character. One was a laborer, the other a man whose occupations included providing accommodations for what Blair politely called “female boarding.”
This also explains why he’s constantly saying the things he’s said about women.
He sought out and obtained council from a lawyer that was known to have represented the Mob and Archdiocese (Catholic Church).
================================================
If you want to know what Trump thinks of himself:
The temperament is not that different."
--Donald Trump
He might as well have said he’s living the very doctrine that he grew up under.
Matthew 7:20
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
Trump has spent a lot of time making sure people know he had “humble beginnings” to try and connect with the “common man”.
“It has not been easy for me. And you know I started off in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.”
It’s hard to believe him once we examine at the details:
There was a nearly $1 million loan from Trump’s father that was part of the deal — Fred Trump’s Village Construction Corp. provided the loan to help repay draws on a Chase Manhattan credit line that Fred Trump had arranged for his son as he built the hotel. But that loan was only a small part of the father’s involvement in the deal.
Trump’s tax returns at the time indicated his salaried income in 1976 was less than $100,000 a year, which he received as an officer in his father’s company. (His father remained chief executive of the company.) His income taxes reported $76,000 in income in 1975, $25,000 in income in 1976 and $118,000 in income in 1977. He paid no income tax in 1978 and 1979 as he reported negative income, likely because of tax shelters.
Trump also benefited from three trusts that had been set up for family members. In 1976, Fred Trump set up eight $1 million trusts, one each for his five children and three grandchildren, according to the casino document. (That today would be worth about $4 million in inflation-adjusted dollars.) The 1976 Trust paid Trump $19,000 in 1977, $47,200 in 1978, $70,000 in 1979, $90,000 in 1980 and $214,605 in 1981. Trump also received about $12,000 a year from a 1949 trust set up by his father and nearly $2,000 a year from another 1949 trust created by his grandmother. He also received a $6,000 gift every December from his parents.
The casino document lists several other loans from Trump’s father to his son, including a $7.5 million loan with at least a 12-percent interest rate that was still outstanding in 1981.
Here’s something else to consider.
Let’s see just how connected to the Global World of Business he is.
