Is Trump the antichrist? That’s the wrong question - ABC Religion & Ethics
www.abc.net.au
The whole point of the Book of Revelation is that evil is embodied in regimes that transcend any individual. However much his actions run contrary to Christian teaching, Trump is only part of a much larger phenomenon.

    Man Id be so disappointed if he was. Not at just the quality of the villain in the story but that means God gave us such a low bar to pass and 60% of Americans said meh. If I was the creator God I would checking the parameters of my creations right now.

    No, nor is Trump Sauron, or Darth Vader, or Freddy Kruger or any other fictional badguy.

    He’s a real-life badguy, which is far worse.

    “But he says he’s not the antichrist.” - Christians

    If they asked questions, they wouldn’t be religious.

      My favorite part about this article is that he first wrote it around 2021, and then had to update it constantly during the 2024 campaign as more passages from the Bible started lining up.

      Then Trump was almost assassinated, and that lined up perfectly with yet another passage in the Bible about the antichrist “suffering a mortal blow to the head, but then rising back up appearing fine.”

      I believe he stopped updating it after that, as he already showed how 35+ passages from the Bibles book of “Revelations” fits Trump almost perfectly.

      I find it hilarious Christians aren’t reading this article, because it’s quite possibly the best “proof” the Bible is real (if you’re inclined to believe that).

    NO! It’s all stupid religious fiction.

    Yes, those racists are real christians. That’s what christianity is. Stupid fiction to enable bigots.

    If you support a hate religion, but pretend the hate isn’t real - you’re just supporting a hate religion. Do not pretend these bigots aren’t christian, they are core christianity. Always have been.

    I don’t believe that shit but that being said the guy who correlated all the biblical stuff he fit perfectly with was interesting to read. Heck the fact he had two separated terms sorta adds to it. Especially given how bad he is gunning to make it and that the last ended in plague.
