"Once claiming to be Presbyterian, Trump now says he’s a ‘nondenominational Christian’"
“Though I was confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a nondenominational Christian,” Trump, who has repeatedly identified as a Presbyterian in the past, said in a written response to RNS."

"From Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Rush, 21 April 1803
To Benjamin Rush
Washington April 21. 1803.Dear Sir
In some of the delightful conversations with you, in the evenings of 1798. 99. which1 served as an Anodyne to the afflictions of the crisis through which our country was then labouring, the Christian religion was sometimes our topic: and I then promised you that, one day or other, I would give you my views of it. they are the result of a life of enquiry & reflection, and very different from that Anti-Christian system, imputed to me by those who know nothing of my opinions.
to the corruptions of Christianity, I am indeed opposed; but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian, in the only sense in which he wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his doctrines, in preference to all others; ascribing to himself every human2 excellence, & believing he never claimed any other."
Saying you’re a Christian doesn’t make you one. You know them by their fruits, you know them by their spiritual advisors who are prosperity teachers with bad doctrine, id say heresy
Donald Trump’s mentor was Norman Vincent Peele, who he was also mentor to
people such as Robert Schuller. On Peele, a 33rd degree freemason, Trump has
the following to say:
I still remember [Peale’s] sermons,... You could listen to him all day long. And when you left the church, you were disappointed it was over. He was the greatest guy.
And Albert Pike, founder of freemasonry, has the following to say:
Strange and mysterious name given to the spirit of darkness! Lucifer, the son
of the morning! Is it he who bears the light, and with its splendors
intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!
And Blavatsky, conspirator with freemasonry and founder of theosophy, in one of her books titled “The Secret Doctrine” says:
There is a whole philosophy of dogmatic craft in the
reason why the first Archangel, who sprang from the depths of Chaos, was called Lux (Lucifer), the ‘Luminous Son of the Morning,’ or man-vantaric Darn. He was transformed by the Church into Lucifer or Satan, because he is higher and older then Jehovah, and had to be sacrificed to the new dogma... Jehovah --
esoterically (as Elohim) -- is also the Serpent or Dragon that tempted Eve, and
the “Dragon” is an old glyph for “Astral Light” (Primordial Principle), “which
is the Wisdom of Chaos.
Theosophy and Freemasonry are purely Satanic. But what were the teachings of norman vincent peele like? A student of Peele, Robert Schuller taught the following in his book titled “Self-Esteem: The New Reformation”:
The church’s problem is that it has had a God-centered theology for centuries, when it needs a men-centered one.”
This is the same exact sentiment taught by Trump’s former spiritual advisor, Paula White, who herself is a preacher in the roman-catholic-connected Charismatic movement, and served in his “Evangelical Executive Advisory Board” during his first presidency.
Directly connecting this theology with roman catholicism, specifically through
the Vatican II council, priest and jesuit Malachi Martin writes the following
in “Keys of this Blood”:
Pope Paul VI told the bishops that ‘their church had decided to opt for man;
to serve man, to help him build his home on this earth. Man with his ideas and
his aims, man with his hopes and his fears, man in his difficulties and
suffering - that was the centerpiece of the church’s interest, said the pontiff
to his bishop’.
The world has been pushing this man-centered theology, the doctrine of Satan,
since the beginning of time:
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:4-5
Remember, Trump has been pictured kneeling at roman catholic cathedrals, for they do not have churches, but cathedrals, for the podium is an altar, and beneath every church are the bones of men. But what else does roman catholicism have to say? Are they in harmony with the Bible? What does it mean to be a Christian?
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church (their OFFICIAL teaching) 2080, 1161:
The Decalogue contains a privileged expression of the natural law. It is made known to us by divine revelation and by human reason. [it is] Following the divinely inspired teaching of our holy Fathers and the tradition of the Catholic Church.
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 82:
As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, “does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.”
What does the Bible have to say about that?
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Matthew 5:18, Revelation 22:18
But are there examples of roman catholicism claiming to change the law?
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 2248:
According to the fourth commandment, God has willed that, after him, we should honor our parents and those whom he has vested with authority for our good.
That's not the fourth commandment that the Bible teaches:
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8-11
Do they know this?
Catechism Article 3: The Third Commandment:
2175 ...Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath ...Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath 2176 ...The celebration of Sunday observes the moral commandment inscribed by nature in the human heart
The Catholic Record, Sept. 1, 1923:
Now in the matter of Sabbath observance the Protestant rule of Faith is utterly unable to explain the substitution of the Christian Sunday for the Jewish Saturday. It has been changed. The Bible still teaches that the Sabbath or Saturday should be kept holy. There is no authority in the New Testament for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday. Surely it is an important matter. It stands there in the Bible as one of the Ten Commandments of God. There is no authority in the Bible for abrogating this Commandment, or for transferring its observance to another day of the week. For Catholics it is not the slightest difficulty. Due to the exaggerated importance given the Bible... The Church is above the Bible; and this transference of Sabbath observance from Saturday to Sunday is proof positive of that fact. Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God.
So how does the system of roman catholicism see themselves? If Trump was non-denominational, but surely knowing all of this, why not distance himself from such things? Rather than a mentor be a 33rd degree freemason, rather than have spiritual advisors who teach doctrines of the Devil, why even make pretenses? Being non-denominational seems very convenient. Look at people like John Newman, "converting" on their death beds.
Unam Sanctam pope Boniface VIII (1302):
The true faith compels us to believe that there is one holy Catholic Apostolic Church, and this we firmly believe and plainly confess. And outside of her there is no salvation or remission of sins... We therefore declare, say, and affirm that submission on the part of every man to the bishop of Rome is altogether necessary for his salvation.
In other words, [the bishop of Rome] has power to impose laws both preceptive and prohibitive, power likewise to grant dispensation from these laws, and, when needful, to annul them. It is theirs to judge offenses against the laws, to impose and to remit penalties. This judicial authority will even include the power to pardon sin.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913 Edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, refers to this book as “a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge,”; Lucius Ferraris, entitled Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article “Pope.”:
The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as if were God, and the vicar of God. The Pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities…. He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings. Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions.
That seems mighty powerful, but what does the Bible say about this?
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 1 John 5:12, Romans 6:23, Lamentations 3:22, Romans 3:23, Titus 3:5-6, Acts 4:12
Calling himself a Christian but being non-denominational, what do his close spiritual advisors, members of his cabinet, and others, grow up being taught about Jesus Christ? The name Christian does begin with Jesus Christ, after all.
Dignity and Duties of the Priest by St. Alphonsus de Liguori:
Jesus has died to institute the priesthood. It was not necessary for the Redeemer to die in order to save the world; a drop of his blood, a single tear, or prayer, was sufficient to procure salvation for all; for such a prayer, being of infinite value, should be sufficient to save not one but a thousand worlds. But to institute the priesthood, the death of Jesus Christ has been necessary... And God himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of his priests, and either not to pardon or to pardon, according as they refuse or give absolution, provided the penitent is capable.
The Catechism of the Council of Trent:
We therefore confess that the Sacrifice of the Mass is and ought to be considered one and the same Sacrifice as that of the cross, for the victim is one and the same, namely, Christ our Lord, who offered Himself, once only, a bloody Sacrifice on the altar of the cross.
But the Bible has this to say:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. Hebrews 9:28, 1 Peter 1:18-20, Colossians 1:22,14, Isaiah 33:22
And what specifically has the Father Himself told us of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ?
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Luke 9:35
And what has the Son to say?
will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are
continually before me.
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice
over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with
singing.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14:18, Isaiah 49:16, Zephaniah 3:17, Matthew 11:29, John 3:16
That's a very astute observation, and it makes sense that reading the official writings and teachings of roman catholicism reminds one of islam, because islam is the brain child of roman catholicism.
Mohammad Mustafa was born in 570 A.D. and died in 632 A.D. Mohammad married Khadija when he was 25, and she was 40. Her cousin Waraquah was a Roman Catholic Meccan, and Khadija herself came from a roman catholic convent, being akin to a nun.
Understanding that a woman is representative of a church (Ephesians 5:25), the church of islam is roman catholicism. It is not about the muslim person, or the catholic person, but about the mindset which the system that they belong to share. This is a battle for the minds, and is it not a curious thing that almost anywhere there is an islamic mosque, so too is there a roman catholic cathedral?
Want to see this connection in the signs and symbols? Look no further than the Baal-Hadad form of sun worship, shown throughout archaeology as a disk in a crescent. What shape is the roman catholic host? And where is that host inserted? What shape is the monstrance? When the host is placed within the monstrance, why does it appear as a disk in a crescent? Why is the symbol of islam the very same crescent moon and sun? Freemasonry, another brain child of the system behind roman catholicism, openly teaches this as well:
The crescent and disk combined always represent the conjunctive sun and moon
Albert Pike, founder of Freemasonry, in the guidebook to Freemasonry, Morals and Dogma.
Do investigative journalism O'Keefe-style with any grandmason of a masonic lodge, and they will tell you that they have three books in their lodge, the Bible, the Pentateuch, and the Koran, but only one of them contains their true teachings.
Or read it from albert pike himself:
The Bible is an indispensable part of the furniture of a Christian Lodge, only because it is the sacred book of the Christian religion. The Hebrew
Pentateuch in a Hebrew Lodge, and the Koran in a Mohammedan one, belong on the Alter; and one of these, and the Square and Compass, properly understood,
are the Great Lights by which a Mason must walk and work.
Again, it is not about the roman catholic, or the muslim, or the jewish, but about the mindset which is behind all of these systems. This is the invisible enemy which fights not for the body, but for the mind, for freedom of choice is the most prized possession, paid for by the blood of the Lamb.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
Now if a little bit of symbolism is not convincing enough, and there is plenty, plenty more, why not read, just as the comment did for roman catholicism, the official teachings of islam? Is there truly a connection between the two beyond the signs and symbols?
Death and Hell
In Islam:
Sura 3:169. Think not of those who are slain in Allah.s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;
Sura 2.81. Indeed, those who earn sins and become surrounded by their evil work will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.
Sura 4.56. Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a Fire. Every time their skins are roasted through We will replace them with other
skins so they may tase the punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.
In Roman Catholicism:
Roman Catholic Catechism 366 -
The Church teaches that every spiritual soul is created immediately by God — it is not "produced" by the parents — and also that it is immortal: it does not perish when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body at the final Resurrection.
Roman Catholic Catechism 1035 -
The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, eternal fire.
Catechetical Lectures 18:19 -
...but if a man is a sinner, he shall receive an eternal body, fitted to endure the penalties of sins, that he may burn eternally in fire, nor ever be consumed.
These two doctrines, the immmortality of the soul and the concept of hell, are not only the same in islam and roman catholicism, but they are absolutely contrary to the Bible:
And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of
Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and
dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the
sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
2 Chronicles 33:6
The word hell is translated from two different words; first from the Hebrew שְׁאֹל, pronounced "sheh-ole'" the second from the Greek gehenna. Gehenna comes from the combination of two Hebrew words, gai and hinnom, meaning "Valley of Hinnom" as we see above. This term originally referred to a valley on the south side of Jerusalem in which pagan deities were worshipped. Shehole, also translated into hades, simply means the grave.
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Ezekiel 33:11
The image of a wrathful deity protrayed by both Islam and Roman Catholicism is not the God of the Bible, but the very same gods as those who sacrificed children to the pagan deities in the Valley of Hinnom. There is no "eternal body of suffering",
for everything bad will be consumed and vanish away into smoke, into ashes (Psalm 37:20; 92:7). The only thing eternal are the consequences seen on the body of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ.
What about the state of the soul? Without immortality of the soul, the tradition of hell can not exist, so what does the Bible teach?
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his
thoughts perish.
For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go
down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee
thanks?
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave
shall come up no more.
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any
more.
The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
Psalm 146:4, Isaiah 38:18, Psalms 6:5, Job 7:9-10, Psalms 115:17
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus
sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking
of rest in sleep.
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Genesis 2:7, John 11:11-14
Death is the return of the breathe of life to the Breather of life. Only God
has immortality, and only God has life to give. Man, formed as a living soul
comprised of dust and a breathe, returns to dust as the last breath is returned
to its Breather. To us, death may seem frightful and permanent, but in the
Lord, death only need be a short sleep.
Let us continue:
Salvation
In Islam:
Sura 9:20. Those who believe, and emigrate and strive with might and main, in Allah's cause, with their goods and their
persons have the highest rank in the sight of Allah: they are the people who will achieve (salvation).
Sura 2:277. Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular plrayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Sura 16:93. If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people: But He leaves straying whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases: but ye shall certainly be called to account for all your actions.
In Roman Catholicism:
Ex Cathedra Statementds made at the Council of Trent, VI, Canon 9.
If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema.
Canon 24.
If anyone says that justice received is not preserved and also not increased before God through good works, but that those works are merely fruits and signs of justification obtained, not the cause of its increase, let him be anathema.
Roman Catholic Catechism 1477 -
This treasury includes as well the prayers and good works of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They are truly immense, unfathomable, and even pristine in their value before God. In the treasury, too, are the prayers and good works of all the saints, all those who have followed in the footsteps of Christ the Lord and by his grace have made their lives holy and carried out the mission the Father entrusted to them. In this way they attained their own salvation and at the same time cooperated in saving their brothers in the unity of the Mystical Body.
Just as in the teachings of death and hell, both islam and roman catholicism portray the arbitrary pagan deities worshipped in the Valley of Hinnom; salvation becomes an issue of works, of merit and deed of the person, of sacrificing children through the fire, rather than being justified by faith alone, and being sanctified by grace alone, in Jesus Christ alone.
In the Bible:
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law:
for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no
more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and
grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Galatians 2:16, Romans 11:6, Ephesians 2:8-9, 2 Timothy 1:9, Romans 1:17, Acts 4:12
Everything stated is in their own words, their own actions, and put up against that which is directly said in the Bible. Separate the message from the messenger, read the message in its entirety, and decide which message to represent.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Hosea 4:6
If people do not understand the true history of the world, as filtered only through the Bible, then how will humanity hear this call? How will people know what system, what mindset, to come out of?
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Revelation 18:14
And Amen.
It doesn’t matter what religion he is he is one generous, loving, caring, compassionate, giving man. I wish there were more men in the world like him, but thank God he’s ours!

The image of a wrathful deity protrayed by both Islam and Roman Catholicism is not the God of the Bible, but the very same gods as those who sacrificed children to the pagan deities in the Valley of Hinnom. There is no "eternal body of suffering", for everything bad will be consumed and vanish away into smoke, into ashes (Psalm 37:20; 92:7). The only thing eternal are the consequences seen on the body of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ.
What about the state of the soul? Without immortality of the soul, the tradition of hell can not exist, so what does the Bible teach?
Death is the return of the breathe of life to the Breather of life. Only God has immortality, and only God has life to give. Man, formed as a living soul comprised of dust and a breathe, returns to dust as the last breath is returned to its Breather. To us, death may seem frightful and permanent, but in the Lord, death only need be a short sleep.
Let us continue:
Salvation
In Islam:
In Roman Catholicism:
Just as in the teachings of death and hell, both islam and roman catholicism portray the arbitrary pagan deities worshipped in the Valley of Hinnom; salvation becomes an issue of works, of merit and deed of the person, of sacrificing children through the fire, rather than being justified by faith alone, and being sanctified by grace alone, in Jesus Christ alone.
In the Bible:
Everything stated is in their own words, their own actions, and put up against that which is directly said in the Bible. Separate the message from the messenger, read the message in its entirety, and decide which message to represent.
If people do not understand the true history of the world, as filtered only through the Bible, then how will humanity hear this call? How will people know what system, what mindset, to come out of?
