[FairfieldLife] Trump's Christianity explained

[yifux...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

How is it possible for somebody like Trump (whose actions show a blatant 
disregard for Biblical teachings) to be popular among Evangelicals?.
 The reasons behind this unique phenomenon are explained in The Week article. 
Among several reasons, what we might think is a demographic under the large 
umbrella of Evangelical Christianity is also composed of persons identifying 
themselves as such, but who actually know little about the actual statements in 
the Bible and how Trump's actions run counter to Biblical injunctions.
   For example, in Charisma, May 2016, writer Michael L. Brown in "Can We 
Question Donald Trump's Christianity?", brings up Eph.4:29 where Paul says "Let 
no unwholesome word proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is good for 
building up, that it may give grace to the listeners".  Then Brown goes on to 
mention "Trump's vitriolic, nasty, often vulgar, sometimes patently false 
attacks on others violate this verse from beginning to end, both in spirit and 
in letter.".  Brown concludes: "...let's not foolishly proclaim him to be a 
Christian....".
 Getting back to The Week article, the solution to conundrum of how 
Evangelicals can support Trump is given.  The so-called Evangelicals are simply 
not "real" Christians.  They are heretics in the Conservative viewpoint and 
that demographic contains large numbers of persons simply identifying 
themselves as such, but having little understanding of the "true" literal 
Biblical interpretations.
