Trump has said many things about Christianity that are way worse than “Two Corinthians”

Is this really what tipped people off that maybe he’s faking it?

I’ve said before and I’ll say again: I do not advocate supporting or opposing a candidate based on their statements about their faith. Too often this leads to a dangerous confusion of church and politics, as well as disingenuous displays of religiosity from politicians. I’m pleased that the old GOP formula to snag the evangelical vote seems to be unraveling.

Furthermore, none of us can know Trump’s heart—but it’s also true that we’re supposed to be able to identify fellow Christians by their love and fruits of the Spirit.

Jerry Falwell Jr., who hosted Trump at Liberty, says the candidate’s life has born good fruitThe evidence suggests otherwise.

On that point, here’s an incomplete list of things Trump has said about Christianity that are way worse than “Two Corinthians.”

"Trump is trying on the Christian faith the way other politicians try on a hard hat when they visit a construction site for a photo op: it’s obviously not his own, and he looks dumb wearing it."

I think he said this in a faith and family forum.  He didn't return for the next one for obvious reasons.  That probably had nothing to do with his pandering.

In reality though, listen to his first speech.  Think of what he is saying from the context of a prideful man.  I don't think any Christian that understands that pride comes before the fall could ever stomach such a rant and come away believing that the fruit of such a man is coming from the Spirit.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
