WHY has he celebrated Diwali in his personal life for decades?
And WHY did he give the Pope a bronze Lotus sculpture inscribed "Rising Above"...? https://files.catbox.moe/lpaecr.jpeg
If any of my fellow Christians watching this think that this is some type of 'pagan gratification' then I suggest (for your own benefit and understanding) to expand your thinking and decide you want to know WHY he is making such a huge deal about this holiday.
Knowing ≠ Agreeing. At the 1:11:25 mark: "... some of the biggest business people are here... Whatever they're teaching you, they're teaching you well." ~Trump
Think on it a little...
Something salient is here.
Expand your thinking.
Now you can get rabid and start foaming at the mouth about religious dogma like I myself would've 20 years ago, OR you can expand your thinking and ask yourself, "Why is this happening?"
Be willing to know, even if it's something you may not agree with.
I have a more detailed dig on it somewhere, but this is what yandex popped up.
Though I do think you mean Sikh and not Hindu. Hindus are kinda like The Blob from what I understand, and just absorb and incorporate a bit of everything. If you watch Bollywood movies, you’ll see a lot of them worshipping in Catholic cathedrals. They may or may not be actually following Christian principles in general, I don’t know, but a lot of times, the God of the Bible is just another god in their worship practices (see: first commandment), while Sikhism only has the one.
In both cases, I could easily be wrong, this is just how I understand them. No offense intended if I butchered the realities of it.
This is also not trying to say “all religions lead to God maaaaaaaan”, more that they have many of the actual practices (“faith”) right, and it’s just that the words and how it looks is all garbled by time and distance, … then again, that also applies to a lot of Christians. Kek.
Don Richardson in his book, Eternity In Their Hearts, reveals that all forms of worship have some seed of the Gospel in them, or some seed of the law (which is our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ.) C S Lewis makes a similar point in the Abolition of Man with his end-notes on the laws in Torah (at least the 10 words) that appear in the writings of other cultures. This does not mean, as you put it, we agree with everything that goes along with what these religions teach, because there are some glaring contradictions with Christianity. BUT there is a door to the truth left to each of them.
I actually really liked that comment/dig of mine and wonder about it from time to time. It was in response to someone, right after the inauguration, commenting about being disturbed about the Sikh prayer and wondering why Trump would have such a pagan thing be there.
I proceeded to sniff around and dig up a lot of congruences between Sikhism and scripture, but all I can find now is some comment saying “Sikhs are cool” and the one I linked in the other comment.
This is gonna drive me nuts, but you already knew that, didn’t you!
Exactly - not exactly a Christian focused. However he is the president of the whole Country. But again celebrating false idols. I’m even more aware of what I was doing when my grandson was born in Halloween and my granddaughters pictures ar of her dressed as a “princess vampire”.
The name derives from the Sanskrit term "dipavali," meaning "a row or series of lights," symbolizing the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. An Absolute Comm IMO 💥
Exactly - it's a "festival of light". Where I live on latitude 52N it gets dark early with long cold nights. Places like this always have traditions of plenty of lights going on. It's not long until our traditional firework event on November 5. The more lights the better I say.
This should be interesting, because another Festival of Lights is coming up in December, which President Trump had participated in every year in his first Term. This one celebrates the triumph of the outnumbered Maccabees over tyrannical Syrian forces, and an eight day celebration of restoring the temple!
Hey J1D I just now noticed you beat me to posting this. 👏🏽 👏🏽
"The return of LIGHT to triumph over darkness."
Has anyone figured out WHY Trump has celebrated Diwali for DECADES in his private life?
Or WHY he makes such a big deal over this holiday in the White House...?
Or WHY he gave the Pope a bronze Lotus sculpture inscribed "Rising Above"...?
Lamb or Lion? NEOBBA: First Time - Lamb (Isaiah 52:13 -53) John 1
2nd time - Lion - Rev. 5: 5
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
It took the Resurrection and changed lives of the disciples to get from Pilate's Court to Pentecost, where thousands at one time accepted Him for who He was. I agree. Big Church has diluted His message, and made it hard to either see or accept.
"Difficult truths."
I've always believed One of the "difficult truths" was going to be surrounding religion and how it has been slowly, deliberately pushed off course over centuries to the point that the truth can be right in front of many peoples faces but they will not accept it because they are "too God-fearing" etc. to question anything their preacher ever told them, lest they 'burn in a lake of fire' for daring to SEEK as Jesus told them to seek.

Diwali, also known as Deepavali or the Festival of Lights, is a major religious and cultural celebration observed by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists, particularly Newar Buddhists.

The festival typically spans five days, beginning two days before the new moon (amāvasyā) in the Hindu lunar month of Kartik, which usually falls between late October and early November.
“In the beginning was the Word” (John 1:1), and the Word told Moses to build a candleholder (Exodus 25:31), then in Revelation (2:1), Jesus is walking between the candles, which represent the seven churches…
Why are we celebrating an Indian holiday in America?

Excellent question!
WHY has he celebrated Diwali in his personal life for decades?
And WHY did he give the Pope a bronze Lotus sculpture inscribed "Rising Above"...?

According to the Hindus, their "messiah" returns on a white horse with the flaming sword.
Hold on where have I heard something similar… 🤔

Who is represented by the one on the horse?
WHO?

The jeets here in central Indiana are blowing up a crap ton of fireworks at 10p.m. est. Sounds like a war / invasion force to me.

An attendee lit the candles except for the last one and POTUS lit that one!
Thanks mod frens! 🫡
Kash spoke and thanks POTUS for recognizing Diwali as well as Harmeet Dillon.
Dee whatty?

Hanukkah 2025 begins at sundown on Sunday, December 14, and ends at nightfall on Monday, December 22, 2025.
Also, Bill of Rights Day is December 15, 1791, so we'll have a few things to celebrate in December! :)

He wasn't accepted the first time around.
Think of it… He was out there doing miracles and even then, many couldn't see him for who he was.
I think (at least initially) it will take a keen eye to spot him this second time around.
The 'Big church' has done such a good job of obfuscating.
It took the Resurrection and changed lives of the disciples to get from Pilate's Court to Pentecost, where thousands at one time accepted Him for who He was. I agree. Big Church has diluted His message, and made it hard to either see or accept.

Dark to light?
FYI Trump just said "Light over darkness"
You were on to something!
Yes! I heard it also!
Maybe, with the first Q drop 8 year delta in a week things could get interesting.
I believe it will...
Exactly what I think poU...

We are a Christian nation.
Depart the jeets!
We are also a nation that encourages freedom. Where else are they likely to freely hear the Gospel?
This is fkn stupid. Is this because of Vance's multi racial family?
