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.
Are you saying these documents aren't inspired by God?
I am saying the documents associated to the founding of the United States included with this Bible are not God breathed inspiration. God did not tell the founding fathers to write the content found present in those documents. The founding fathers were not transcribing what the Holy Spirit told them to write, nor do they make any such claim. Therefore, those documents are not scripture. They do not address nor are they intended to address the full relationship of man with God. They do not direct man to Jesus for salvation but take very generalized acknowledgement of truths found in parts of the Bible.
The founding documents are in many ways a synthesized logical derivative of truth that can be understood from the Bible. They are not the same as the Bible as these documents are ultimately only the works and reason of man. I do not equate the founding documents to be Holy or scripture. Putting them into a binding along with the Bible is an indication of equating these documents to be of the same quality or level (perhaps even holiness) as the Bible.
President Trump has always aligned his policies and actions with God. I mean, how much more aligned could it be than to combine the bible with our core founding documents? It's a really powerful message. Don't you think we could better promote the gospel by showing how it was key to create the greatest country on earth? President Trump receives a lot of flak because of how he is such a strong, unapologetic Christian.
Which Bible ? The KJV which was the rush job to water down the Geneva Bible 1599 of the Pilgrims ?
I'm not interested in arguing semantics about this translation or that translation or going back to original text which very few among us can actually read and understand in the dead languages the text originated.
I am merely pointing out there is a difference between scripture given by God and works generated by man.
What scripture ? As in the original commandments which Moses dashed ?
