Thousands sign Christian petition urging bishops not to back Donald Trump - Lemmy NZ

ANY Christian backing Trump isn’t following Jesus.
The top comment on articles like these is always some flavor of No True Scotsman.
Didn’t say they weren’t Christian as that’s a self applied label. But you can’t pretend they follow the teachings of Jesus.
There are four different Jesuses depending on which Gospel you pick, and if you believe in the Trinity, then you are giving Jesus way too much credit considering he’s the same guy who drowned the entire human race.
This entire comment screams “I have no understanding of what I’m trying to say.” You do realize the Gospels are four different perspectives, right. Get three different people to tell you about anything that was in the news last week and you’ll absolutely hear three different stories.

Except that isn’t what happened. Mark built Jesus out of the letters of Paul and various pagan-jewish works. Matthew copied Mark but really liked the Pentauch. Luke copied Matthew and tried to shore up the apostles. John took all three and some local Messiah stories.

None of these people were eyewitnesses, none of these people even talked to eyewitnesses. A copy of a copy of a copy with no original.
