Why some Christians are angry about Trump’s ‘God Bless the USA’ Bible | CNN

Former President Donald Trump is officially selling a patriotic copy of the Christian Bible themed to Lee Greenwood’s famous song, “God Bless the USA.” The concept of a Bible covered in the American flag, as well as a former president’s endorsement of a text Christians consider to be sacred, has raised concern among religious circles. It’s also raised questions about Trump’s motivations, as the former president finds himself in the middle of several expensive legal battles.

Christy Farmand Rukab The fact is that non-Christians didn't understand God's purpose. God desires that all of mankind come to accept his promise of salvation from the evil one, and he will use whatever person is appointed to office for that purpose. God may use a person with the right heart, or he may use someone who is sinister. In the time of Moses, God used the hardened heart of the Egyptian Pharaoh of the time to show his power and his ability to save his people from bondage and oppression. People want a "God-like" person for President, but they don't want God or a Christian. How is that? All on earth suffer under imperfect leadership, as they rejected God in the first place. People will always complain about any form of human government, regardless of who is in office. It will be a switch when Jesus Christ returns to earth and takes the reigns.


Alex Schil Ralph Rider some of us were pretty sure of his motives when he took out full page adds demanding punishment for those 7 kids falsely accused in NY.

Then there’s him bragging about sexually assaulting women because his celebrity and wealth allows him to get away with it

Or the fact that the only reason he seems to own the Miss Teen USA pageant is so he can walk in on undressed 14 year olds. He described it as a perk of the job.

Or there was that time as the world trade centers were shown falling on the TV and Trump was pointing out one of his buildings was now the tallest.

Or when he mispronounced 2 Corinthians at Liberty university and tried to act like he made some great revelation about the word liberty in the verse he read.

Then there was that little incident where he tried to defraud the certification of the election of the person who beat him and then launched an angry mob at the Capitol. All of which was in direct violation of the Constitution and about as patriotic Benedict Arnold.

Some Christians have been appropriately never Trumpers and very critical of all the Evangelical Idolatry of the man. But we get called RINOS or unpatriotic and ignored.


Nathan Sugg what do you suggest he do to raise money for his campaign? You don’t approve of this- that’s your choice. I disagree. I’m not sure what tactic you’re talking about. I’m a Trump supporter. I donated money already to his campaign. He doesn’t need to pander to us. We gladly support him. You seem confused, but it’s really simple. I am voting for Donald J. Trump. I want him to win the election- so I am going to help him. Did you donate to Biden’s campaign? You’re obviously not voting for Trump so why do you care so much? Listen- I can’t discuss issues with people with TDS. It’s just a waste of my time. It doesn’t matter what I say- you will never agree. So let’s just leave it at that…..


I can see the discussion now. Failure trump probably said something like, "You know how I've been able to convince average Americans to give their hard earned money to a "billionaire"? Well what if I came up with a way to combine that grift, with what preachers do"? "Think about it. They get people to fork over their life savings, with no ROI really". "So what if I give them a book, like not the actual Bible but something like it. I could just give it away. But I can't make any money that way. So I'll sell hard working average Americans a Bible for $60. No, wait, $59.99. That's the ticket".


Opinions and thoughts
The texts of the words do not need comments, but rather deserve the kind of democracy that we live in in our current era and before us, with a kind of dialogue and consultation in matters of life, whether religious or worldly, in which opinions and proposals are exchanged that lead them to the affairs of life and managing them in ways that suit human living and avoid the corruption that destroys it, but it is the human nature that It comes to the human soul from conflicts between immorality and piety that are generated within a person. He may succeed or he may become corrupt...,

Nathan Sugg oh I’m sorry I didn’t know he was profiting off of them. I thought he was getting a cut for his campaign and his legal bills. His lawyers are costing him millions. I’m not really into stealing bibles and I agree getting one for free is nice, but I’ll pay for a good one. I like that they included the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Were you going to vote for Trump anyways? Probably not- so nothing he does will be ok with you I’m proudly voting for him! I’ll say it all day long! I’m also a proud Christian. I recently was saved. So I’m 100% that he is the right choice! Let’s do this people! Are you people going to let our Country go down like this? #Trump2024


You had better be getting rid of that racist Joyless Reid! Race baiting ain't cool. Whites didn't start the slave trade. Oh and what of the Africans who not only SOLD their own people or those of other tribes and those who ENSLAVED THEIR OWN PEOPLE OR THOSE OF THEIR OWN TRIBES? ABE LINCOLN SET THE SLAVES FREE! NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACISTS. AND WHAT OF THOSE WHO ARE BLACK AND OWNED SLAVES? HOW ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE RACIST THEMSELVES? YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT DO YOU? YOU ARE BY FAR THE WORST NEWS ALBEIT FAKE NEWS AROUND AND THE VIEW IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH YOU. GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR PUTRID SOULS WHITE, BLACK, BROWN, GREEN, PURPLE..... IT'S HOT IN HADES THEY SAY SO GET READY WHEN YOUR TIMES UP. EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU! I'LL PRAY FOR YOU.


BLASPHEMY! BLASPHEMY! BLASPHEMY! Anyone who believes Trump is holier than Jesus Christ deserves NO SYMPATHY but PITY! Let me remind you who you choose to worship over:

- False Prophets (I am your law and order president ~Trump)

Matthew 7:15 - Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

- According to the Washington Post’s Fact checker team, it is reported that Trump made over 30,000 something false or misleading claims totaling over the last 4 years.

Romans 16:18 - For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

- Trump’s Bible drifting scheme. 

Revelation 13:6-8 - And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.


Robbin N Mark Parsons
He’ll attend the funeral of a fallen police officer for media attention, but was not invited to John McCains, and let’s not forget he was odd man out at Barbara Bushes service. A fine specimen he was, showing his anger and discomfort while having to be seated with 4 former Presidents. To use the word of god to gain wealth, is nothing more than hypocrisy and a total disgrace to Christianity. In his four years, Trump blew up the presidency, shattered basic democratic institutions, principles, and shattered the relationships with the people. You should never have to advertise nor sell the word of god.


10ºDeanna Gerdom there are multiple explanations of why this is problematic in the article. Here is one scholar’s view, from the article:

“Historian and author Jemar Tisby says the whole project echoes the values of Christian nationalism — the idea that America was founded as a Christian nation and the government should work to sanction Christianity on a national scale. The tenets of Christian nationalism are historically tied to prejudice, nativism and white supremacy.

‘There’s a very long tradition of what is included and what is not included in the Bible,’ Tisby told CNN.

‘What has caused outrage with this Bible is that it includes the Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, and even the lyrics to a Lee Greenwood song. So it’s adding to the Bible, and it’s adding specific political documents to the Bible that completely erase the separation of church and state.’”
