President Trump announced that he is selling a bible called the "God Bless the USA Bible"! And this is during Holy Week, right before Easter! The man is not holding back any punches. He's no longer being coy or humble about his faith, he is boldly declaring his endorsement of the bible. He said this is his favorite book, and we all need to get copies. Along with a KJV translation of the bible, inside is also the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the US Constitution, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the chorus of the song "God Bless the USA". This is truly everything we need in one book, and something every American Patriot needs to be armed with. It just feels like it is the complete package. And all this for only $60. At that price, with inflation, I would be surprised if he's even making any money on this.
Not only is President Trump declaring war on the deep state, he is now declaring war on evil and is showing that under his authority, America is a Christian nation that WILL serve God, regardless of those who stand in the way.
Personally, I disagree with this move. Marketing the Bible, which is God's book given to man so that we would better know about God and better understand our relationship with Him and what is required and what is freely given to us --A Holy book that reveals our need of a Savior and points to Jesus as the fulfillment of that need--, is not appropriate to attach to that book these man made documents (even if they are some of the best that man has ever generated). It is not appropriate to attach the Bible to a political campaign or a human movement.
It is not God whom follows or aligns Himself to specific human movements and organisation --this would in effect be making God subservient to those human things. Rather, the correct evaluation is do you or does the movement / organization align to and follow God and will you trust and follow Jesus?
We are to align with God and follow his plan. We are not to shoehorn God into following our plans. The Hebrew people had to learn that painful lesson multiple times. Such as when they marched into battle with the Ark of the Covenant and reasoned God would nor let them lose with the Ark in their midst. Instead God allowed the enemy to slaughter the Hebrew warriors on the battlefield and allowed the Ark to fall into the hands of the Philistines whom mocked God but soon were dying of a plague while their own idols were falling down before the Ark and being shattered. They sent the Ark back to Israel on a cart pulled by two unguided never-before-yoked milk cows, whom were kept from their calves in the process, and these cows made a beeline for Israel to return the Ark.
I agree. Not all Patriots are Christian.
I agree and to add to that, Not all Americans are Christian.
But all Patriots and Americans agree that , "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." and "by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independance of the United States of America."
