Re: The Biblical Case for Making Trump King

Thank you, Professor White, for putting this troll in her place.

We here at Landover Baptist are serious people discussing serious topics. It is discouraging when trolls waltz in here with childish comments.

Back to our topic, I watched President Trump address the United Nations yesterday. It was a brilliant speech.

I wished, however, he would have carried or worn some symbol of royalty. This would have introduced him to world leaders as someone above themselves. Maybe a robe would have accomplished this.

While at first glance, 'those people' are deplorable but then it reminds me that we are blessed by their prosecution.
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

Luke 21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

1 Corinthians 4:12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Insofar as Trumps speech, I would of been more at ease had he worn a side arm and used it against those that do not support the Christian/American way of life.
Proverbs 23:13-14
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Re: The Biblical Case for Making Trump King

I realize that the founders implemented constitutional restrictions and the balance of government and all that but you have to consider at the time they didn't have anyone as wise or intelligent as Trump. They had to limit government so people like Obama, FDR, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, etc. Couldn't completely and utterly destroy America.

After all, Thomas Jefferson said, “The dead should not rule the living.” I think what he meant by that, is that once someone came into office could handle the power of the presidency like Donald Trump could, we should abolish the rest of the government and just let Trump decide everything.

Re: The Biblical Case for Making Trump King

The man who would be president wisely decided to save money by not upgrading security and function on Airforce One. The man who would be King will not be outdone by a king of some petty African country.

And if his airplane is bigger, and let's face it, a lot of things are bigger with President Trump, from his hair to his hands to his gianormous confidence, then his title must also be bigger, don't you agree? If another petty African witch-doctor by the name of Idi Amin can have a long title ("His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular"), then there can be no doubt that our King should have an even longer title.

What about:

His Most Excellent Leader Triumphant, President for Life, Military Commander Extraordinaire, King of the Stars in the Heavens and Lord of the Weather, Personal Vessel of the Holiest of Ghosts, Owner of the Greatest Jet in the World, Donald Trump the First and Greatest

Re: The Biblical Case for Making Trump King

God wants that

I think it's worth adding that a woman cannot be a legitimate monarch. We can read Scottish Reformer John Knox's First Blast of the Trumpet
Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, in which he refuses to acknowledge Mary Tudor and Mary Queen of Scots as the rightful rulers of England and Scotland respectively.



He bases his argument on nature and passages such as 1 Timothy 2:12 -- "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."

Re: The Biblical Case for Making Trump King

Once President Trump () a.k.a. The Best World Leader Ever, becomes a president for life, that is king, we should create some of the rules that work so wonderfully in places such as North Korea or Russia.

Examples:

1. Every time King Trump speaks in public, people should be obligated to attend, to avoid any lies about small crowds. People not attending events happening within 60 miles of their place of residence should be considered for sending to hard labor camps (a.k.a. private prisons) - especially serial offenders.

2. Every time King Trump stops speaking, there should be a minimum 10 minutes of enthusiastic standing ovations following the speech. Antisocial individuals who stop clapping a few seconds early or do not clap enthusiastically enough should also be considered for sending to hard labor camps.

3. Every inappropriate joke regarding King Trump (including but not limited to his hair, complexion, twitting, pussy grabbing, hand size, etc) should be punished with 10 years of hard labor for the joke-teller and 5 years for the listeners. Cumulative sentences should apply for telling multiple jokes.

4. Tank parades, including showing off King Trump's missiles. Every great leader of the world loves those, and King Trump is the Greatest Leader Ever.

5. Free press - nah, we really don't need it. King Trump should join Fox News with Breitbart and close all of the other networks. While the internet may pose a problem (such as fake news continuing to come from foreign countries), China has solved that problem by banning access to all of the suspicious (foreign) IP's. King Trump should follow that example.

6. Early childhood education. It is crucial that all children be educated to read the Bible, worship Jesus, and support King Trump. All textbooks should be edited to exclude evolution, include Bible-based science only, and cultivate love of our Beloved Leader.

That would MAKE GREAT AGAIN!

You are doing the kind of out-of-the-box thinking we need in this country, Sister Basilissa. We are so used to elections and Presidents who come and go we have never really thought, "What if we have a President we want to be our King?"

President Trump is the perfect one to segue into a new era with a King and his royal family. We need to have a plan. The rules you set out are a good start.

Re: The Biblical Case for Making Trump King

Nearly two-thirds of Republicans — 66 percent — classified as “always Trump” supporters agreed that “because things have gotten so far off track in this country, we need a leader who is willing to break some rules if that’s what it takes to set things right.”

More than half of all Republicans — 55 percent — or Republican-leaning independents share the same view as “always Trump” backers on rule-breaking.


That support for authoritarian rule-breaking was also shared by 35 percent of “never Trump” Republicans.

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/mos...gs-right-poll/


It is important to have rules in place for the occasional Obama or Clinton that cheat their way into the Whitehouse, but when you have someone as great as Trump in office, they just do more harm than good. Even many of the "Never Trump" Republicans (which I don't know why these people still exist) agree that Trump should violate the rules in order to get this country back on track.


I think most Americans agree. Having laws only gets in the way of Trump's ability to rule. He should just be made king already so he doesn't have to go through those burdensome courts or Congress.


There is a clear historical basis for this. Back when sissy courts tried to get us to uphold our treaties with native Americans, our great former President Andrew Jackson, who is now on our commonly used $20 bills decided to simply ignore it and force those tree loving hippy dippy native Americans out so Godly capitalism and Jesus loving Americans could make a bigger profit. Shredding up those no-good agreements signed by former leaders that didn't know what they were doing in the process.

http://www.ushistory.org/us/24f.asp

The CHEROKEES of Georgia, on the other hand, used legal action to resist. The Cherokee people were by no means frontier savages. By the 1830s they developed their own written language, printed newspapers and elected leaders to representative government. When the government of Georgia refused to recognize their autonomy and threatened to seize their lands, the Cherokees took their case to the U.S. Supreme Court and won a favorable decision. John Marshall's opinion for the Court majority in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia was essentially that Georgia had no jurisdiction over the Cherokees and no claim to their lands. But Georgia officials simply ignored the decision, and President Jackson refused to enforce it. Jackson was furious and personally affronted by the Marshall ruling, stating, "Mr. Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it!"


Finally, federal troops came to Georgia to remove the tribes forcibly. As early as 1831, the army began to push the Choctaws off their lands to march to Oklahoma. In 1835, some Cherokee leaders agreed to accept western land and payment in exchange for relocation. With this agreement, the TREATY OF NEW ECHOTA, Jackson had the green light to order Cherokee removal. Other Cherokees, under the leadership of CHIEF JOHN ROSS, resisted until the bitter end. About 20,000 Cherokees were marched westward at gunpoint on the infamous TRAIL OF TEARS. Nearly a quarter perished on the way, with the remainder left to seek survival in a completely foreign land.

Doesn't this sound just like our beloved Trump? I can just imagine him saying something along the lines of "The Supreme Court ruled in favor of keeping Muslims in the country. Now let's see them enforce it!" or "I know presidents in the past agreed that we will honor our debts but I see things differently. I'm declaring bankruptcy on the USA. We may owe China some debt, but let's see them try to enforce it!"


I don't know what we're waiting for. We should just put Trump in our currency right now. I'm thinking the $5 bill. What did that Abraham Lincoln ever do that was so great anyway? I wouldn't want to remove Andrew Jackson from our currency considering the wonderful example he sets for our nation and especially our children.

Re: The Biblical Case for Making Trump King

God has spoken to me this afternoon, in my daily nap.
He told me we should address Donald as "His smartness".


So I will.

[Johny Joe Hold]

Re: The Biblical Case for Making Trump King

Everyone would agree we are at turning point in world history. Now the Chinese are making an alarming and brilliant move. They are doing away with term limits so the smartest and most experienced man can maintain control of that country.

This means trouble for the U. S. unless we adjust our own laws accordingly. What will we do if President Trump is no long President? We will be unable to compete with China.

We need to change our Constitution immediately and name Donald Trump President, or King, for life.

Re: The Biblical Case for Making Trump King

Trump's Jew lawyer is arguing Trump's case as if our Beloved President has already been anointed as our Godly King:

Attorney Alan Dershowitz, a member of President Donald Trump's defense team, alarmed Democrats and many legal scholars with his argument in the first day of questions and answers in the Senate impeachment trial that presidents cannot be removed from office for an action they believe could help get them reelected...
In response to a question from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, about whether it mattered if Trump engaged in a "quid pro quo," Dershowitz said that motive was what mattered and that if an act was in the public interest, it was not impeachable. And he said it was reasonable for a public official to equate what is in their own political interest with the public good.
"Every public official that I know believes that his election is in the public interest," he said. "And if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment."

That's right! Donald J. Trump () is above the law, and he can see far and clearly and has only America's best interest at heart. Ends do justify means, and if the Only Way to Make America Great is through finding dirt on the Democrats, then so be it!

The only thing I do not understand, is why didn't Nixon's lawyers bring this important point up when Nixon was being persecuted by the congress? Could one of our Godly men explain this to me, in simple terms, please? Was Nixon too cheap to pay for first-class Jew lawyers?

Nixon was a Quaker, a notoriously cowardly lot.

President Nixon gave us an important insight into the current dilemma. He said "If the President does it, it's not illegal."
