    Trump feels that he is being persecuted, and yesterday, he compared his court trials to the earthly plight of Jesus.

    Shared on Truth Social.
    "Received this morning — Beautiful, thank you! 'It's ironic that Christ walked through His greatest persecution the very week they are trying to steal your property from you. But have you seen this verse...?'" he wrote.

    He then proceeded to reference Psalm 109:3-8.

    Well now we know what kind of crown to coronate his majesty with . We can also put him on the same sort of pedistal - in time to celebrate Easter.

    So what? Now you can't even MENTION Christ in this country that touts it FREEDOM OF RELIGION?

    What's wrong with quoting the Bible if you want? You hate FREEDOM OF SPEECH? So... do you want to throw religious people into concentration camps?

    Welcome to the Gulag.

    Dems handed him this gift. Between this and the poverty and poop, dems might as well be on his paid campaign staff.

    Do you know what Blasphemy is? I guarantee you that Christian Evangelicals do.

    Have you seen Trump's directions in the polls? Just a few weeks ago, he was ahead in every battleground state. They have all tightened, with Biden holding a slight lead in PA, MI, and WI. Trump's blunders, such as saying his plight is like Jesus's persecution can only hurt. From a Christian perspective, he's comparing his situation to Jesus's crucifixion, where Jesus took on the sins of the world.

    So YOU are a Christian Evangelist? (They are the only ones that care.)

    Do you know what "superelevation" is? I guarantee you that Artillerymen do.

    Where's the part where he "compares himself to Jesus"?

    Judging your fellow man is blasphemy. We're all measured by God, not by other men.

    Someone like trump should never be this close. As awful as he is, Dems are working hard for him. Do you honestly think he is doing well because he is such a great candidate?

    Apparently you don't though.

    What exactly is blasphemous about what he said?

    I said it with this statement.

    "From a Christian perspective, he's comparing his situation to Jesus's crucifixion (holy week reference), where Jesus took on the sins of the world."

    Maybe you missed it.

    After all was said and done (hate rhtetoric, terrible debate performance, and constant lies), in 2020, Trump lost by a landslide.

    So Trump's holding the Bible for a photo op in Lafayette Square was "a joke"? You're right. I miss the humor.

    Trump is being persecuted, much like the way Jesus was persecuted.

    Jesus threatened the government's power. So is Trump.

    What's wrong with getting your picture taken holding a Bible?

    I feverishly hope that both Trump and Biden suffer massive coronary heart attacks on the same day.

    Reference of Trump's was holy week. What happened on Good Friday?

    If you think Trump adequately reflects the central theme of the Bible, vote for him. I don't see too many others on this forum or elsewhere making that argument.

    I'm not sure why you're bringing Biden into this thread. How does he relate?

    I wouldn't make that argument about any human being.

    Trump was comparing two similar scenarios.
