Not sure why Iâm playing your game, Christien, but okay.
Itâs tough to pick! I mean, he lies everyday, but itâs usually the sort of lie where he just says what he wants to be true and then tries to convince his followers that it really is (and itâs not hard to convince the willfully ignorant).
Well, he lied a few weeks ago about the postal service, saying itâs dumb because they lose money on every package or piece of mail they ship. This is a lie, because it is illegal for the postal service to sell their services at a loss, and regulations are in place to prevent it.
He lied about Obama not being a US citizen, of course, and then when he couldnât keep up the lie any longer, since he is completely incapable of admitting when he is wrong, he acted like he was a hero who was squashing the rumor. He said, âHillary started it, and Iâm ending it.â
But Hillary didnât start it. In fact, her campaign never stooped so low as to call Obamaâs citizenship into question. They even fired a staffer who suggested it. It was actually a political opponent of Obamaâs in Illinois named Andy Martin who started painting him as a foreigner and a closet Muslim way back in 2004. It obviously didnât work and it died down but - like so many other insane, unfounded, disgusting conspiracy theories - Donald Trump spread it like poison. He began to ask âwhere is his birth certificate!?!â every time he was on TV, and willfully ignorant people still believe it to this day, even though their âsaviorâ Trump even said itâs not true.
Trump understands the power of a lie. He doesnât lie because he thinks his opponents will believe it. He lies because he KNOWS his supporters will. Donât fall for it, friend. Trust in Jesus, not any politician.

Once a chicken egg is fertilized, that's the beginning of a chicken. We do not eat fertilized chicken eggs. Chickens lay eggs every day, fertilized or not. That's why we have hen houses, and why you keep the rooster out of the hen house unless you want more chickens. Regardless, humans don't lay eggs, and a chicken isn't a human. We kill chickens and eat them once they grow up. We don't kill and eat humans when they grow up.
Your description of the state of an unborn baby only applies to the moment of conception. There is no such thing as a "single celled embryo". Babies begin growing quickly and have a heartbeat in only about 6 weeks. And no one is saying that the value of the baby is greater than the mother. That's changing the subject. We're not talking about killing the mother here. We're talking about killing her unborn child.
Crazily enough, if a woman is pregnant and wants to have a baby, it's murder if someone stabs her in the abdomen and kills the baby. But if she chooses to kill her own unborn baby, it's somehow morally wrong for someone to try and talk her out of it? It's hypocritical, but that's the law as it stands. We define "human life" as only that which we want to protect, which is a dangerous stance for a society to take.

Itâs so weird that you keep saying Iâm full of vile hate speech, when my video is 21 minutes of me calmly smiling at the camera as I demonstrate from logic, evidence, and scripture why I believe a Christian shouldnât support Trump.
What would you say âlegalismâ is? Do you even believe itâs a thing? Paul says in Romans 3 that no one will be declared righteous by keeping the law. The purpose of the law is to show us just how guilty we are, and how much we need Jesus.
Speaking of Jesus, in all of your declarations of what a Christian is, I donât think youâve mentioned Jesus once. Just work, work, work to keep the 10 commandments. Friend, no matter how hard you try, God will not be impressed. Trust in Christâs atoning work on the cross as your only hope. Then your sins become his, and his righteousness becomes yours. This is truly what it means to be a Christian.

â @paulag2454 As I state at the beginning of this video - which I published 2 months ago before any "social distancing" had started, and I had been writing and rewriting the script since probably January - this is a response to people on Facebook who were shaming other Christians for saying anything other than "Donald Trump is God's chosen man for America", and falsely using Romans 13 to back up their support of President Trump. That was my goal. I flat-out do not tell anyone who to vote for in this video. Support for Donald Trump and a vote for Donald Trump are not the same thing. I can respect the position that says, "Yeah, he's awful, but I just can't vote for the other guy." I can't respect the position that says, "Donald Trump has brought more people to Christianity and done more to defend Christians and Christian beliefs than anyone in generations", which is word-for-word exactly what someone left as a comment on this video. It's mind boggling.
You seem to have switched from telling me "you shouldn't have made this video" to "you should have made this video sooner." It wasn't my plan to put this out in an election year. Again, that wasn't my goal. I didn't make this video 2 years ago because I didn't see the need 2 years ago. And my God is much bigger than this silly little thing I've made. He can use it if he sees fit, or it can languish in obscurity. But I did what I felt was right. The idea that I would stand before God's judgment and hear, "David, I really wanted Donald Trump to be re-elected in 2020 and your YouTube video messed up my plan and we got stuck with Joe Biden" is absurd. God is in control. What he purposed before time began WILL come to pass. We are commanded to behave like Christians. The Bible doesn't demand that we even be involved in politics at all.

Man, that was a thorough analysis! As you can see, there are thousands of comments here, and the YouTube reply system is terrible on my phone so I can only see one small paragraph of what you wrote on my phone while replying. Iâve already addressed a lot of what you said to other commenters, but the main point I hope youâll believe me on is that while you may think Iâm mistaken or unconsciously biased, please donât think Iâm malevolent. Also, this video is not really about voting. Iâm not a Biden supporter. Iâm not a Democrat. I donât care who people vote for, or whether they vote at all. I just want Christians to put their faith in Christ for their salvation, not politics. I want them to stop making a mockery of Christ by pretending Trump is what Christianity is about at all.
Some quick responses: I know some of those clips about illegal immigrants are taken out of context, especially the âtheyâre not humans, theyâre animalsâ one. But in the end I decided they still applied because he is using the actions of a few to breed xenophobia and to vilify all immigrants and refugees. Case in point, when he says âthey could be ISIS, I donât knowâ he was referring to ALL Syrian refugees. Trump will use any excuse to close down the border to refugees. He even tried to say the coronavirus was just more proof that we need a border wall, as though COVID-19 walked here from Mexico.
As for the âmany conservatives said the impeachment just further divides usâ statement, I addressed that because I heard it from people I know. The fact that people you know didnât say it is irrelevant. I didnât invent the objection.
And on the abortion issue, itâs definitely tough to even talk about, because I hate it and I want it to stop. You seem well versed on the issue, so you clearly know that we already have a (marginal) conservative majority in the Supreme Court, and they have at least given lip service to the fact that they donât want to reverse precedent on Roe v Wade. Even if they did, the issue would just go back to the individual states. Most states would keep it legal. A few states would ban it. But that would simply drive women to travel a couple hours to a nearby state, or get an abortion done in secret like its the 1960s, which would only mean we no longer know how many infants are being killed in the womb.
The only way weâre going to put an end to abortion in America is to change the hearts and minds of the people who feel they have no choice by supporting them emotionally and financially in their pregnancy, and convincing them they can and will get through it, no matter how difficult it is.
Voting Republican helps people feel like they can wash their hands of abortion without actually doing a single measurable thing to stop it.
Iâm trying to remember your other objections...oh, you brought up how conservatives more often adopt and foster. Thatâs true! But I was talking about politicians, not individuals.
As for the fake news thing, come on. Remember this exchange from a couple months ago (paraphrased)?
Reporter: Coronavirus cases and the death toll are rising, and the American people are worried. What would you like to say to them?
Trump: I say youâre a terrible reporter, thatâs what I say. How dare you ask a question like that. The American people are scared and they need to be encouraged.
Was that response warranted? Or was that Trumpâs opportunity to have a âChurchill momentâ and he decided to attack the media instead?
In the clip I showed in this video where Trump says âIâm the least racist personâ, the reporter had just politely explained that he knew Trump was a friend of Jews and was not a racist, but then asked what Trump was going to do about the rash of synagogue attacks that had been happening. And then he responded in the dehumanizing, hateful way you see in the video.
Trump continually proves that he doesnât care one bit about anything but his own image. đ

You keep gatekeeping who is and isnât a Christian based on your assumptions about their political affiliations, and making up stories about who I am and what I believe because that eases the cognitive dissonance in your head. But I donât see you mentioning Jesus. At all. Your comments are all about how horrible the Leftists are. Friend, the whole point of my video is to convince Christians to abandon their faith in politics and to trust in Christ alone. I understand that when youâve lost perspective, anyone who disagrees with you looks like the enemy, but do you really believe in a Christ who needs us to vote for the right people so he can usher in some kind of Christian utopia? What kind of a weak god would that be? Jesus said, âmy kingdom is not of this world, else my servants would fight.â And if we are in Christ, we are citizens of that kingdom. So be patient. Focus on living the life of obedience, love, and compassion that Christ commands us to live. Trust in Christ alone, and Iâll meet you there.

Okie doke. Letâs look at some context and see if it helps his case, shall we? I want to be fair.
Hereâs the context for the Debbie Dingell clip: Trump is at a rally, talking about how awesome he is for ordering flags to be flown at half staff in honor of Debbieâs deceased husband. But later she said that her conscience required her to vote to go ahead with the impeachment proceedings. As we all know, Trump absolutely HATES anyone who doesnât side with him 100% of the time, so he felt justified in joking that her husband is burning in hell.
Does that context vindicate him? Itâs a normal, Christian thing to joke that a grieving widowâs husband is suffering in eternal torment, right?
I did him a favor with the Access Hollywood clip by cutting out the worst thing he said, even though everyone knows what it was.
Now for the clip that I took the most out of context: the âthese arenât people. Theyâre animalsâ clip. Yes he was specifically talking about Mexican gang members here, not immigrants or refugees. But I decided to leave it in because as Christians, we believe that no matter how sinful or depraved a person is, they are still created in the image of God, and are not animals. He also used their crimes as leverage to create more xenophobia against legitimate immigrants and refugees and to drum up more support for his border wall vanity project.
Then his quote, âWhy should I have to ask God for forgiveness if Iâm not making mistakes? I work hard, Iâm an honorable person...â
Here he had been asked if he had ever repented or confessed. This was his response. This is a response that immediately disqualified him as a Christian at the time of the interview, because you cannot have your sins forgiven if you donât believe you have any sins to forgive. And step one of becoming a Christian is admitting youâre a sinner and turning from it. Nothing is more clear in the gospel than that.
Then the nonpartisan National Prayer Breakfast, where he followed an author who spoke about his book on Jesusâ command that we love our enemies by getting on stage, bragging about being acquitted in his impeachment, and then saying, âArthur, I donât know if I agree with youâ (about loving our enemies) before launching into a hateful rant against his political opponents.
And the rest is just his name-calling, which doesnât need context. There is absolutely no excuse for name-calling. Ever. Itâs a tool the weak-minded use to influence the weak-minded.
I can provide more context if you need it. I have no intention of putting words into his mouth or misrepresenting him.

I agree that it appears that Iâm painting conservatives with a broad brush. But when I say conservative voters are âwashing their hands of abortion without doing a single measurable thing to stop itâ, thatâs meant to be the antithesis of âif you vote Democrat youâve got blood on your hands because they love killing babiesâ which is unfortunately not a mischaracterization. It has been said to me many times in these comments, as though democratic politicians literally go out and personally murder babies as a beloved hobby.
I worry that abolishing abortion - especially in this time when youâre considered a monster if you simply say a man is not a woman just because he feels like he is - would be a monumental disaster on par with prohibition. We had to amend the constitution to fix that mistake, and we were only talking about booze. This is about an issue that is unfortunately seen as an essential freedom and basic human right by many.
Also, I should roll back what I said about only speaking about politicians, because in thinking again about my whole video, that just isnât true. But I am speaking to a specific sort of Christian conservative that I am surrounded by here in Oklahoma, who consider themselves the only âgood peopleâ simply because they vote against abortion. Their lives show no concern for the unborn, or the poor, or the disenfranchised beyond that. If people donât fit that description, Iâm simply not talking to them.
I donât have so much a disdain for conservatives (I was one for a long time) as I do mixing politics of any kind with the message of Christ.
Again, I want to thank you for your calm, measured words. Even though you disagree with me on a lot of issues, youâre a breath of fresh air.

So when you tell me Iâm sinning and God will judge me for it, thatâs âeducationâ, but when I point out Trumpâs failings, show a clip of him saying he doesnât need to repent, etc, Iâm âjudgingâ. Got it! Makes perfect sense.
Anyway, this video isnât about Trumpâs crimes. I mean, he did run a fake university and stole from his own charity, but heâs already lost those trials and had to pay damages. Once he is no longer president and canât hide behind his position, the poor man is going to spend the rest of his life battling cases in court, if he doesnât end up in jail.

Purple Flower: Iâd like to answer your question and tell you how many lies Iâve told, if you donât mind.
I couldnât possibly count them. Iâm a hopeless sinner who has cast himself on the mercy of Jesus Christ.
Now, I could try and deflect by saying, âbut nearly all of them were of the âno, that shirt doesnât make you look fatâ varietyâ or âbut Donald Trump has told way more because he lies nonstop everydayâ, but that would be the same âwhataboutismâ fallacy I talk about in the video (incidentally, thatâs what youâre trying to do for Trump just by asking this question).
But how I compare to Trump on the âbiggest liar of all timeâ chart is irrelevant, because being better than Trump or anyone else isnât my goal as a Christian.
Christ is my standard, and I fall infinitely short of that standard on a daily basis. That is why I come to him as a sinner in need of a savior. Every day I commit treason worthy of death against the creator of the universe. My only hope is the blood of Christ.
Now, imagine if you asked Donald Trump: âMr. President, how many lies do you think youâve told?â
How do you think heâd respond?
I can hear it already. âYouâre fake news, and a terrible person. How dare you ask that question. I am the most honest person who has ever lived. Believe me. In fact, Iâm doing very well in polls nationwide, people say Iâm very honest, and theyâre right. Crooked Hillary is the person you should be asking that question to. Lock her up. Sheâs a disgrace.â
And thatâs the difference. Trump thinks he is above the need for a savior. He truly believes he is justified and righteous in everything he says and does. Thatâs why Christians shouldnât support him.

I grew up in a traditional Southern Baptist church. Still attend one. But the idea you often see in church of salvation - come down front and pray a magic prayer to ask Jesus into your heart - may be well intended, but itâs not really how the Bible says we are saved. You wonât find biblical evidence for it.
The first step is just to acknowledge your sin against God and your inability to do better or make yourself worthy of Godâs forgiveness no matter how hard you try. If a person feels remorse for their sin, God is already drawing them to himself.
Secondly, you believe in Jesus Christ, his atoning work on the cross, and his resurrection from the dead. That Christ - as fully God and fully man - lived the perfect life that we couldnât and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for sin. When we do that - when we simply believe! - we are born again as a new creation. And like him, one day we will be given a new, incorruptible body in the new creation.
Now hereâs where people get confused: there are lots of warnings in the Bible about falling away, doing good works, looking for fruit of the spirit, working out our salvation, etc. What those verses are describing is how we KNOW we are a Christian. The Bible doesnât want us to assume we jumped through the right hoops and then go back to the same old life we had before, living in sin and feeling no regrets.
If we are truly born again, we wonât be perfect. We will still sin. But we will live a life of repentance, gradually growing in faith and doing more of the good works Christ called us to. Our fruit shows that we are saved, but we arenât saved by the fruit.
Remember from the American Gospel documentary that we are saved UNTO good works. We arenât saved BY good works. This is what separates Christianity from all other religions.
Think of all of Christâs parables. Who are the lost people in those stories? The people who think they deserve salvation because of the work theyâve done. On the other hand, the saved people in the parables are the ones who realize they have nothing to offer God, and rely on his mercy.
In Romans 3, Paul says that no one can be saved by keeping the law. The law is just there to show us how much we canât obey it, and how much we need Jesus.
Our salvation is mercy from God. You canât deserve it or earn it, or it wouldnât be mercy! If you earned salvation, it would be a paycheck - something you earned for the work youâve done. But the Bible says we have nothing to boast about, because our salvation is by grace through faith, which is given to us freely by God.
If you canât gain salvation by being righteous, you canât lose salvation by making mistakes. We just keep trusting in Christ, asking for his strength and forgiveness, and looking forward to the day when he makes all things new.

All Christians agree on the essentials (the deity of Christ, his atonement for our sins as the only perfect sacrifice, his bodily resurrection, the triune nature of God, etc), but there are disagreements on secondary issues. When heresy occurs, itâs usually because someone rips one verse out of the Bible to support their belief, and ignores the context surrounding that sentence in the Bible. For example (although not heresy per se, âI can do all things through Christ who strengthens meâ is often cited to say that if youâre a Christian you can do anything you set your mind to, and everything will turn out great. But in the verses right before that, Paul describes what those âall thingsâ are, like being poor, or in prison, etc. in other words, it means we can make it though any bad situation we find ourselves in with Christâs help.
Like with anything, the more intimately familiar you are with the original, the easier it is to spot a counterfeit.

Okay. A couple things.
First, you and I are not saying that Trump is a Christian, but many people are. In fact, they believe heâs the greatest Christian ever. Just look at some of these comments.
Secondly, I am not supporting Democrats. Iâm calling Christians to abandon their hope in politics and to trust in their Savior alone.
Thirdly, Trump is definitely a heathen, but he isnât a king. A kingâs rule is absolute. A presidentâs power is limited.
Finally, when God used heathen kings, he used them in spite of their wickedness, as a blunt instrument of his providence. He did not endorse their behavior in the slightest. And Christians shouldnât endorse President Trumpâs behavior, either.

The defining characteristic of a conspiracy theory is to see evidence against it or even the lack of evidence for it as proof-positive that itâs true.
âTo give truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation.â
In other words, thereâs no sense in arguing with someone who believes in pizzagate, or that the earth is flat, or that the moon landings were faked, or in the Illuminati, or that Elvis is alive, or that 5g cellular is going to fry our brains, or that Bill Gates invented COVID-19 so he could implant us with tracking chips (even though we all willingly carry handy tracking devices with us all the time), etc., etc.
Maybe my newest video, âIs Trump a Modern King Davidâ would help clarify my beliefs?

If thatâs your analogy, then we should have never married this abusive narcissist in the first place.
Please name a positive thing he has done for society. Iâm not being facetious. People keep assuring me heâs amazing politically but no one has been able to give me one example. All I can think of are the peace treaties, arms treaties, nuclear treaties, trade pacts, environmental treaties, and world organizations that he has removed us from because he has said, âitâs a bad deal for America,â by which he only ever means it doesnât make us money, as though a country is another business he can run into the ground with shady dealings. Because concepts like the good of mankind, safety, health, and peace are for chumps as far as Trump is concerned.
Iâm glad I put my faith in Christ alone and have no faith in politics.

There you go! đ Feel better?
I 100% believe that God put Trump where he is for a purpose, the same way that he put Samson where he was. Both men - through their bumbling, self-centered paths through life - have been used as a blunt instrument to bring about Godâs purposes. Samson, after he was finally blinded and humiliated due to his sexual desires, pride, and arrogance, pushed down a pillar to get revenge and did more good for the kingdom of God on accident than he had done in his entire life. Trump - through his hate, name-calling, and general vitriol - has brought the awful racism in America that many of us thought was gone out of the shadows and into the light, hopefully to be wiped out for good. Through his denial of the obvious danger and caring more for the economy than human life during this COVID-19 pandemic, he has made us all realize how frail our safe, comfortable modern lives are, and how the whole world can be brought to a standstill in a matter of days due to a tiny germ. Praise God for his providence, his instruction through hardship, and his patience with us.
