From the article: "TRMP"
Wake up babe. A new tetragrammaton just dropped.
He's one of the horses that the 4 horsemen are riding. And he's jumping the republicans as hard and fast as he can. It's not how long you make it, is how you make it long. Unfortunately for him, he's basically flat and smooth down there. One would get more pleasure from someone rubbing a pimple between their republican butts. Meanwhile the true horseman has made their move invisibly. But the move is visible, we have judges who don't have our backs, we have laws that diminished the Rights of women, LGBTQA and other minorities. Where's the horseman? We know where trump is but he's so dumb he couldn't plan breakfast, much less cause laws.
I thought he was literally anti-christ, but I guess false prophet isn't inaccurate.
You know it's serious when even the cults change prophets.
Is false profit and Antichrist the same thing?
Basically yes? Antichrist is pluralized in the Bible in places and thus is not necessarily one individual. The false Prophets are described similarly.
Most of the pop culture picture of the Antichrist as a more singular entity is more like the Thessalonians "the man of sin"... Also known as the Man of Lawlessness, Apostasy, Insurrection, rebellion... One particularly agregious Antichrist that Jesus himself must come down and take out with a breath that exposes his naked wickedness to the worshipping masses who will realize that they are not among the saved. It's sometimes interpreted that this kicks off the second coming but it doesn't actually say that... It just says it happens sometime before the end of days which could mean it's distinctly apart from and not feature of the revelation. Like some kind of Jesus warm up cameo.
Really its kind of tempting to paint Trump and Evengelicals in that role. He wouldn't be the first nasty to wrap himself up in an altar cloth.
Biblical false prophet = competitor cult preacher that would compete with Jesus
This is more on the right track for how to de-cult people like Trump. Need more anti-Trump conspiracy theories and weirdo prophecies to get through to the crazies.
Every country has their 10% crazies. You don't need their votes to govern. Please focus on the 90% with good policy instead of normalizing idiot conspiracy theories.
What if those 90% split into 45% and 45%? Then you need those 10% crazies to govern.
The crazies are the ones who show up to launch a coup attempt at the Capitol.
I've heard it's 30% so it should be the same. Except in the US only 50-60 percent of people vote so suddenly it is an issue.
I’d also bet that it’s more than 30% in the US
I'm an atheist but if anybody got the bill for anti-christ it's this guy.
He is literally the Seven Deadly Sins mooshed into a fat suit.
He’s a convicted felon, rapist, and con man.
I have family that believe trump is necessary for Christianity to win and that I and my step-siblings are only safe because they are intervening for us. This is in central Ohio from evangelicals.
Now ask them if Christianity winning means purposefully bringing upon the end times.
The thought previously crossed my mind, but I don't think that's what they're going for and don't want to put any more strain on that relationship (people are more likely to be un-radicalized when family don't just pretend they no longer exist and I'd rather not create more conflict without a clear purpose and push them further into extremism).
It's a good thing I guess but a 'prophet'? Is that what these people believe? He's a dangerous, sleazy grifter. Always has been, always will be.
Yes, they believe it. They believe worse. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60246687-president-donald-j-trump-the-son-of-man---the-christ
The point of a "false prophet" is that they claim to speak for/act in the name of God for their own (evil) ends. False prophets are the highest tier of grifter in a religious context.
I know what you're saying but I truly can't truly understand their way of thinking. I guess it's the brainwashing they get starting at like age 1.
We are all the products of the universe that created us. To understand them you have to first understand yourself, why you believe what you believe, and then understand that they lived a life that furnished them with their beliefs. But that will only get you halfway, as you will begin to understand them but that does not extend both ways; they will still not understand you. That will take considerably more effort.
I was raised religious and boy oh boy, let me tell ya, this guy ticks off so many checkboxes is not even a competition. Peak false prophet/antichrist criteria.
The only thing more convincing would be if his name was Mark Ofdabeest.
I can't think of a time in my Internet life when "Well, duh" was so often the most appropriate response to so many posts.
Ok well better late than never, I guess, that Christians start pointing out how un-christian Trump is. But I doubt they'll connect the rest of the dots and reject the cruelty of conservatism altogether
Link directly to the ad please. Mediaite is a piece of shite.
The ad is on Twitter and Mediaite embeds the tweet, so it's not like that would be any better.
He might just be the antichrist...
I'm gonna leave this here.
He doesn’t fulfill all the requirements. He’s just one of many false prophets, there are many antichrists.
I've been waiting for some big Christian group to come out against him for years and I'm thrilled it's finally happening.
Unfortunately the ad itself was a bit disappointing...not quite as brutal as the title would have you believe
Yeah, nothing brutal about Trump being Trump and then some Bible quote. Every single quote in the good book is against someone like Trump.
At first I was annoyed, until I realized "drop" is an antagonym.
