    Well. If you attempt to read it upside down it just invokes Satan and the Antichrist… /s.

    Dallas-area megachurch pastor

    Well there’s your problem. These guys know as much about the Bible as Trump.

    That bible experts cannot agree on what the bible means, and which of its doctrine is important, makes for a strong argument that it is a historical document, neither inspired, nor univocal, nor inerrant.

    If it were divine, then its meaning would be clear beyond debate.

    In other words, it’s just a bunch of mythology invented by dudes in the bronze age, and nothing more.

      Yeah, this is why in a way Catholicism and Orthodox makes more sense where you have an ultimate authority chosen by god to update Christianity. Has its own issues though like the time when the pope issued purgatory skip papers for money to fund pet projects.

    Well, he could be right. Not something people who believe in religion want to hear however religion’s purpose is to control the masses and Trump and his ilk are all about controlling the masses. God is just the manipulating tool.

    Perhaps Trump has a better understanding of American Christians than the Pope does.

    This pastor clearly doesn’t believe in heaven and hell, or he would lie in support of the literal anti-christ.

    Of course he knows more about the Bible - how many has this Leo guy even eaten? Can’t be half as many as Trump.

      Wasn’t he selling Trump Bibles for a while? I don’t see any Pope Bibles for sale.

      No. It’s just non believers being cynical and power hungry as usual. If you believe in god, hell is waiting for them. That’s literally the ONLY thing that keeps me having any kind of faith these days.

        If there’s one thing that man will go to his grave knowing, it’s how to work a scam. He may not be able to execute it, but he’ll recognize it long after he stops being able to recognize animals or draw a clock…
