Christians, please explain to me how this could possibly not be blasphemy.

Trump is the antichrist matching every single depiction on revelations at this point.

He's a manufactured Antichrist. The crazys are tired of waiting and are custom building their own rapture. The similarities are not an accident.

Well a bunch of Christians literally want to live through the rapture. Not like, "maybe in 30 years". They want it asap and look for every possibility. Why not choose the antichrist to speedrun it?

And where - if they're supporting a PoS like this - do they expect to be going during said rapture?

I'm pretty sure "I supported the Antichrist and his friendly corporations in ending the world, but I confess to Jeebus and feel really sorry" isn't going to be a valid argument for entry into the pearly gates...

The response I've seen is blah blah "imperfect vessel" [Armageddon]

At this point I don't think they have conscious thoughts about it, instead going immediately going into excuse mode.

In this case, they're saying he's not portraying himself as Jesus but one of his disciples. Which is not at all true but that's TDS for you.

Edit: apparently he's saying its him as a doctor. Fucking hell its hard to stay up to date on this bullshit.

he's saying it's him as a doctor

And Vance said it was just a joke and people don't get his humor.

Evangelicals now have two excuses to choose from. Truly an embarrassment of riches.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Because he's a doctor, not Jesus!

Also, it's just a joke!

Both of these are somehow true at the same time but don't question it!
