    Can you be more specific about your question? I don't quite understand what you are saying, but I think you mean Trump has beliefs that go against what Jesus taught. If that is what you mean, could you offer some examples?

    Good question.

    Donald Trump is a cafeteria Christian who picks and chooses what he wants to believe. His words and actions do not follow the beliefs of any mainstream Christian church or denomination.

    Here is a good article that may explain where Mr Trump came to talk and act the way he does: http://www.firstthings.com/article/2016/08/donald-...

    With love in Christ.

    And exactly what is it that Trump does that goes against what Jesus taught, besides the name calling?

    Jesus was not stupid He would understand why someone would want to deport and ban a group of people who are violent and in fact in the OT He did stuff like that all the time.

    I am going to say this respecting everybody else's opinion I can't say Trump isn't christian because even though I don't vote and agree with him God knows his heart but I think that somethings that he says don't show God's love in them:) i wouldn't vote for anybody

    I'd support Trump.more if he DID go against everything Jesus taught.

    Jesus was not only not a god. He wasn't even a good ethicist.

    Jesus was a brave man, with strong will. His commitment to self destruction is even admirable in a Tyler Durden sort of way..but his ethics are f#ucked up.

    In fact, my criticism of my fellow atheists is that most of them are more Christian than the Christians.

    I'm sorry, but what has jesus got to do with christianity? He was a jew. Nothing he taught is part of christianity.

    A good question but let us take Jesus' advice pray for thine enemies that way you heap burning coals upon their head

    No it doesn't. Be more specific. Trump looks to be the best of the pick.
