In Mark 7:6-8 Jesus quotes Isaiah:
He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.‘But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’
Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
Is demonizing those who follow a political opponent “Loving your neighbor as yourself?
PROVERBS 22:10 Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out, even strife and dishonor will cease.
HAVE WE EVER HAD A PRESIDENT THAT WAS MORE OF A SCOFFER THAN TRUMP?
Proverbs 21:24 “Proud,” “Haughty,” “Scoffer,” are his names,
who acts with insolent pride.
21:29 A wicked man makes firm with his face.
DOESN’T THIS DESCRIBE TRUMP’S MUGSHOT?
PROVERBS 19:5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes lies will not escape.
PROVERBS 17:15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
Isn’t this proverb appropriate when considering Trump’s praise of Putin?
PROVERBS 16:5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; assuredly, he will not be unpunished.
LUKE 23: 18-19 But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!” 19 (He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.)
MATTHEW 27: 20-23 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death. 21 But the governor said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” 22 Pilate *said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all *said, “Crucify Him!” 23 And he said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they kept shouting all the more, saying, “Crucify Him!”
DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF MANY OF TODAY’S CHRISTIAN LEADERS URGING THEIR FLOCKS TO FIGHT FOR AND SUPPORT THE ABOMINATION RATHER THAN URGING THEM TO SUPPORT THE PEACE THAT COMES FROM JESUS?
24 He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart.
25 When his voice is gracious, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Though his hatred covers itself with guile, his wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
It has been revealed to you again and again, if you harden you heart and support him, you support the deceitfulness of sin.
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal faithfully are His delight. Lying lips appears to describe Trump and yet many who call themselves “Christians” want an abomination to lead the Nation of the USA.
STOP THE ABOMINATION!
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
REMIND YOU OF TRUMP?
