Recently, many Christian pastors have supported Trump's attack on Iran! These pastors believe that Christians who don't support Trump are unjust. Does supporting Trump equate to supporting justice? Let's start by saying that God has given each of us "free will," and we have the absolute right to choose: To follow the devil or to follow God? I want to ask those Christians who support Trump: Does Trump follow God or the devil? We should find the answer in the Bible, not deceive people based on our own ideas and celebrity endorsements! God has given us "free will," which means giving us "the right to choose," and we must use our own "discernment" to make the "right choice"! We cannot force our brothers and sisters to follow Trump, much less use verbal bullying to force them to follow Trump. We must respect the choices of every brother and sister! As pastors, our role is not to force our brothers and sisters to follow any particular politician. A pastor's duty is to lead the congress to spread the gospel, to preach the gospel in the lands of the unreached, this is what a pastor should do! Pastors should not bring their brothers and sisters before politicians, making them tools for political attacks. Pastors should bring their brothers and sisters before God, allowing them to draw near to Him and receive His blessings and protection.
Jesus gave us two great commandments, the sum of all the law: "Love God and love your neighbor!" What does "love God" mean? "Love God" means keeping the Ten Commandments! How can someone who doesn't keep the Ten Commandments claim to love God? The Ten Commandments are: 1. "You shall have no other gods before me." 2. "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." 3. "You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God." 4. “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.” Remember the Sabbath day, keeping it holy. 5. “Honor your father and your mother, that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” 6. “You shall not murder.” 7. “You shall not commit adultery.” 8. “You shall not steal.” 9. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” 10. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, nor your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” ~~ What is “loving your neighbor”? “Loving your neighbor” means loving those who keep the Ten Commandments; “loving your neighbor” means loving those who love God! Can we love the devil? True Christians certainly cannot love the devil! The devil and the enemy are completely different concepts! The Bible tells us to "resist the devil." We must understand that while each of us has different "enemies," the "devil" is the one that Christians worldwide should resist! Who is the devil? The devil is "the one who opposes God"!
Trump has broken the Ten Commandments! What sins has Trump committed? 1. Trump has misused the name of Jehovah God! 2. Although Trump hasn't personally killed anyone, he has killed with his words! Trump has killed many innocent people; he has committed the sin of shedding innocent blood—this is something we all know. Why has Trump committed the sin of misusing the name of Jehovah God? Because not everything Trump does comes from God, yet he claims to be God's chosen one! Isn't this misusing the name of Jehovah God? Judge for yourselves! We know that the Bible speaks of "cities of refuge," which protect those who "do not intentionally sin." Those who "intentionally sin" are not protected by these cities! Was Trump's launching of war an intentional sin? Let each brother and sister judge for themselves! We must understand that there are only two Gods in this world: One is the true Triune God, and the other is Mammon, the devil. A person either worships the "true God," or they worship "money" or the "devil." Why do so many Christian pastors "worship Mammon" and follow the devil? Because these Christian pastors fundamentally do not believe in the hope of eternal life! These Christian pastors shut the gates of heaven, refusing to enter themselves and forbidding others from entering! Does "eternal life" and "eternal death" truly exist? Yes, it is! Following God inevitably leads to "eternal heaven," while following the devil inevitably leads to "the lake of fire and eternal death"—this is an undeniable truth! Some people ask: Does heaven really exist? Of course, heaven exists! Let's go back to when Jesus was crucified. Jesus' disciples scattered like birds and beasts, even Peter, who loved Jesus most, denied the Lord three times! But after Jesus' resurrection, Jesus' disciples actively preached the gospel, showing no fear of martyrdom or death—this is the "assurance of eternal life"! Is Trump a man of God? Or does Trump follow the devil? These are questions that brothers and sisters should judge for themselves! And what about brothers and sisters who want to follow God? Or should we follow the devil? That is the choice for each brother and sister! Our duty as pastors is to teach correct biblical truth, bring people before God, and help brothers and sisters to "confess their sins and repent," and be reconciled with God! We do not lead brothers and sisters to follow any politician, much less force them to follow anyone! We must shepherd our congregation with God's word, enabling them to build a relationship with God. Only when brothers and sisters are under God's protection can we receive blessings, grace, and protection. The devil can harm us because we have strayed from God's protection!
