Just had this argument(discussion) with a coworker. His #1 point was he didnt like trump. #2 trump is a dishonest man. #3 Coworkers beliefs about Jesus are: works = salvation.
1: I argue he doesnt know Trump, therefore his opinion is based off of (Insert tv,network,film) and not the actual man is baseless. He concedes.
2: i havent heard/seen Trump lie any time. As for his business dealings, playing the game and winning isnt dishonest. (Coworker referenced a film about trump beating bankers at their own game, i.e. he borrowed X, then asked for Y more lest he bankrupts and said lenders lose out 100%. He got more money. Winning!)
3# well, i dont want to rehash that again, to each their own.
Final thoughts, God sets up kings and nations, and he also knocks em down at His pleasure. End of story!
I agree that our view of Trump is very distorted. I have family who still don’t view him as a good man (although they voted for him). He is definitely imperfect, definitely not a saint - but I think if we were to contrast this man to the snakes he’s fighting - he absolutely shines.
