I'm not a believer myself. And yet. The length and specificity of this list of parallels between what the Bible says about the Anti-Christ and the behavior and character of our dear leader gives me pause.

Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist?

This was written in 2020.....

Does this mean Jared Kushner is going to get offed so Trump can marry off Ivanka to Netanyahu?

[-] redsand@infosec.pub 4 points 5 months ago

Tiffany or a Daughter of someone else. This is the Epstein crowd, this may have already happened.

[-] lemonhead2@lemmy.world 37 points 5 months ago

she said he's broken all but two of the commandments. which two hasn't he broken? I don't know all the commandments... 🙃

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 79 points 5 months ago
  1. You shall have no other gods before me.

  2. You shall not make for yourselves any idol.

  3. You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God.

  4. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.

  5. Honor your father and your mother.

  6. You shall not murder.

  7. You shall not commit adultery.

  8. You shall not steal.

  9. You shall not give false testimony.

  10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, wife, or property.

He is 10 for 10 as far as I can tell.

[-] HermitBee@feddit.uk 18 points 5 months ago

I think he has no respect for any gods whatsoever, and the murder thing is not widely accepted, so maybe 1 and 6.

[-] expr@piefed.social 31 points 5 months ago

He's murdered a bunch of Iranians, including schoolgirls. So it definitely fits.

As far as gods go, his god is himself, so that counts too, imo.

Like I said, not widely accepted. This was a Channel 5 morning show.

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 months ago

He's already posted a picture of him as God. That's gotta be enough to cross number 1 off.

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

He places himself as a second Jesus. That sounds like putting himself above God.

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Implied in "1" is that you believe in God. So 9/10 easy.

I mean, in all fairness, who isn't batting at least 6 or 7 of the ten? I haven't committed murder, and assuming you don't subscribe to the notion that lustful thoughts = adultery, I haven't done that either. The honoring your mother and father thing also depends on where you draw the line. I've never cursed their names, or anything. But I've definitely disobeyed and argued with them. I've definitely done the rest. So I'm 7-8ish myself, maybe 9 if you're a stickler and a prude.

Yeah I’m planning on getting married, cheating, and killing the spouse to complete ten commandment bingo myself.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

A person has to have goals in life

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

I definitely don't honor my father, because he's a rapist. Which, of course, is not against the 10 commandments.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 5 months ago

maybe he honors the sabath and his parents???

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 months ago

He plays golf practically every day, that's literally the most holey activity of all. Doesn't matter what day of the week is considered the Sabbath, I think we can reasonably conclude he doesn't break that specific commandment.

[-] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 28 points 5 months ago

Holy fuck, British Morning Show Guest absolutely slammed him. Has anyone heard Vietnamese Street Food Vendor's take?

[-] IncogCyberSpaceUser@piefed.social 4 points 5 months ago

I, for one, want to hear from Leo Sturbgetter, a cow detangler in rural Mississippi.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

[proceeds to read everyone's opinion here]

[-] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 4 points 5 months ago

British morning shows tend to be surprisingly savage, kind of the polar opposite of the American cliche of "We'll take this divisive celebrity figure and bake fat-free muffins with them while discussing fall fashions or promoting a book" trope.

I've seen people get destroyed on them, and the hosts weren't even remotely passive aggressive, much less sorry about it. They're typically very transparent about how little they respect certain politicians' lack of intellect lol

[-] catsarebadpeople@sh.itjust.works 25 points 5 months ago

Just to be clear. This is what Christians want. They want the world to end and they want everyone but them to suffer for eternity so they can feel smug. It's all made up fairy tales but it's what they want.

[-] mcv@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

No I don't. I don't want the world to end, and I certainly don't want anyone to suffer. Most Christians don't. The fact that these sickos do, should be a glaring sign that they're not following Christ. In fact, I've heard of supposedly "Christian" MAGAts complaining to their pastor after a sermon that that shit is too liberal, too woke, and doesn't work. These conservatives preach the polar opposite of what Jesus taught.

If you want the biblical view on this, here's what Thessalonians 2 has to say about this (just came across this on Mastodon):

"Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God."

If I read that, I have to admit that does sound surprisingly like Trump. But he's not on the side of God.

There's more stuff about blaspheming and being believed despite his many lies in other books.

I don't actually believe in the literal interpretation of such end time prophesies, and I certainly don't see Trump as some diabolical entity, but he is by far the closest match to it that I've ever seen.

[-] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Most Christians don't.

Y'all don't get the benefit of us assuming most of you are decent. In fact I tend to assume the opposite, based on mountains of historical evidence and personal observations.

There might be some decent folks among you, but the idea that Christians as a whole don't actively wish for the suffering of others (whether they frame it that way to themselves or not) is a laughable premise.

[Edit to add: there's a simple causal relationship at root here, too - damn near every truly decent Christian person I've ever known, the more they learn about their religion and how it behaves in the world - the less Christian they get. The ones who remain as they mature - again in my experience - either deliberately have their heads in the sand, or have moral values that stand in opposition to the exact virtues espoused by Christ]

That's the problem that non-Christians don't understand. We think they'll be afraid of the Anti-Christ, and do anything they can to avoid him, but they don't see it that way.

Their ultimate objective is to get to heaven, and hang with God and Jesus (yeah, right, like they've been waiting throughout the history of mankind, just waiting for YOU to show up and brighten their day), and to do that, they have to go through the Rapture, and the Anti-Christ is what kicks that off.

So while it might be a bit inconvenient for a time, it will be worth it to get Raptured, and leave all the Atheists and bad Christians behind to suffer whatever torment they are fantasizing about.

So they welcome the Anti-Christ, the fucking weirdos.

He not the 'Antichrist' because that isn't real. He's just a destructive, greedy cunt that needs stopping.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 31 points 5 months ago

Do not interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 5 months ago

Exactly, I don't believe in any of those fairy tales, but Christians do, so I still want every Christian to see this:

https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

The thing is they already know. The evangelicals in his inner circle are grooming him to be the beast from revelations so they can force start their end times prophesy. This is all deliberate and pointing it out is exactly what they want.

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

True that there is no antichrist but the god botherers believe there is. They are trying really hard to make it real by picking someone to play that role. After all they willingly wear his mark on their forehead.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago

"I am Real Jesus!"

"No! You're Fake Jesus, which makes you Real Anti-Jesus!"

Fuck off the both of you. Stop trying to insert your Magical Realism into the reality of fascist politics.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

Don't interrupt the enemy while they're making a mistake.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Escalating "bad state leader" into "religiously defined agent of the End Times" only undermines a materialist understanding of history and politics.

That's before you take the ~~Bad~~ Good Omens angle and ask yourself whether The Antichrist is even supposed to be a Bad Guy.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Bad Omens

Are you trying to reference the book/TV show Good Omens while dissing Noel Gaiman?

I ask because I'm not sure many people would get it.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

the book/TV show Good Omens

Yes, that's the one.

[-] bagsy@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

Of all of the terrible, evil, self-serving, racist, child raping shit this man has done, I can't believe a jesus meme might be his undoing. unbelievable.

[-] Eldritch@piefed.world 9 points 5 months ago

He's just one of many Antichrist. Though a significant one.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 7 points 5 months ago

I wisht that guy would do another antichrist biblical quote comparison because his first term was pretty strong and I can't imagine what all could be added now.

[-] Danarchy 6 points 5 months ago

Whereas I am the panty Christ haha I don’t know why I said that please ignore hahaha

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 months ago

I wil never 4get

[-] motruck@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 months ago

"This is a watershed moment. " No it isn't. Talk is changing nothing. Vite, speak out, denounce this bafoon and anyone stupid enough to still support this self enriching egotistical blight.

[-] verkers_done@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I mean, it's only Channel 5.

[-] CovfefeKills@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

DONALD TRUMP IS THE ANTI-CHRIST

[-] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago

Isn't Jesus in Donald J. Trump?

/s

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

No, the J in his name stands for JarJar.

[-] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 3 points 5 months ago
