Actions there to see

So, Donald Trump is now selling Bibles, his favorite book, of which he has many that he reads all the time, so he says. While trying to quote from II Corinthian­s he said, “Two Corinthian­s,” not “Second Corinthian­s.” When this was pointed out to him, he blamed his note-writer for the mistake. When asked about his favorite passage he declined to answer. When asked what books he kept in his bedroom he mentioned two, neither of which was the Bible. It has also been reported that he frequently reads at night from “My New Order,” a book of Adolf Hitler’s speeches.

During his daily Bible readings there may be passages he missed. For instance, the ninth Commandmen­t which says, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” He does this, in my opinion, almost every time he opens his mouth or his computer.

While most of us spent Easter Sunday in church and/or with our families, Trump spent his day posting 77 mostly disparagin­g tweets about everyone he dislikes, claiming that he was chosen by God, that his suffering is similar to that suffered by Jesus, and about the golf tournament­s he won. His Easter message was not about peace and love, but a long, all-caps tirade against his so-called enemies, most of whom have no way to defend themselves.

Please do not misunderst­and what I am saying. I am not saying that Trump is a Christian or not a Christian. The Bible says, “Judge not that you be judged.” Only God knows. I am merely pointing out things he has said or has done, most of which do not reflect the values upheld by most Christians.

It is all out there. See it for yourself. I will not be voting for him. HAROLD JOHNSON
