"There's an assault on anything having to do with Christianity..." - Donald Trump

"There's an assault on anything having to do with Christianity," Trump said on Yellowhammer Radio with Cliff Sims on Friday. "They don't want to use the word Christmas anymore at department stores."

"There's always lawsuits and unfortunately a lot of those lawsuits are won by the other side," the controversial businessman continued. "I will assault that. I will go so strongly against so many of the things, when they take away the word Christmas."

In continuing his comments, Trump charged that he goes out of his way to use the word "Christmas."

"I've even had people that do this very professionally," the real estate mogul stated, "they say, 'oh don't mention the word Christmas' ...I get up there, I mention Christmas before I even start speaking. So there's a great assault on Christianity in so many ways."

Trump argued that the assault on Christianity extends to the government's policies overseas, particularly in the Middle East: "There's real assault on Christianity when you look at what's going on in Syria and ISIS," he contended. "Do you know that if you're a Christian from Syria, you cannot get into the United States? If you're a Muslim from Syria, it's one of the easiest places to get into the United States from."

Asked to describe his faith, the presidential hopeful referred to himself as "somebody that believes very strongly in the Bible, believes in God."

"I'm protestant," he said. "I'm Presbyterian to be exact. And I grew up in Sunday school, and I did all of the things that you probably did. And I believe very, very strongly. I'm a big believer in the Bible."

At the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa last month, Trump was asked about his faith.

"People are so shocked when they find out I am Protestant. I am Presbyterian. And I go to church and I love God and I love my church," he said.

Asked whether he has ever asked God to forgive him, Trump responded, "I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so. I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."

He further explained, "When I drink my little wine—which is about the only wine I drink—and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed. I think in terms of 'let's go on and let's make it right.'"

In a later interview with CNN, Trump dismissed claims his comments may have damaged his chances with Christian voters, but added that he'd "change" his "tone" as president.

5solas:
He seems genuinely pro Christian. He is obviously not saved though. Never asks God forgiveness! I pray God, in His mercies, grants him repentance.

To be fair, trump is rather tame when compared to many of Yahweh's agents

Yahweh sure does love to work in mysterious ways

OLAADEGBU:


I hope you are not part of those cry babies protesting against the election of Donald Trump?

frosbel2:


Good Christian that you are supporting a racist, sexist and sexual pervert, someone who said he does not need forgiveness ??

You guys are seriously confused!

OLAADEGBU:


Where is the evidence that he is what you accuse him of? Bearing false witness is transgressing God's Law.

MZLady39:


Well sir....unfortunately there is evidence against all 3 accusations against the president.
However, Donald Trump is the 45th President of the U.S. (at least 4 years), & so we have to respect the office...regardless of his religious affiliation...be it hypocritical or not, unfortunately.

OLAADEGBU:


Do you mean the "evidence" supplied by the Fake News? Do you know that 45 in Hebrew means "What?!" Donald Trump is the 45th President and the world (especially) the liberal left are all saying what!?

MZLady39:


No Sir,
I mean the "real" and "validated" evidence (which you can easily research) that shows the president having engaged in condemning behavior...both verbally and written (although these things happened decades ago).
I respect his position though...and am committed to praying for him.

OLAADEGBU:


None of those accusing him today can boast of not doing the same if not worse. It is good that you are praying for him. We all need God's mercy.
