We don't either.

Simple - they don't read the gospels, just the parts they like, and their pastors don't preach on the gospels or they do on a verse that they twist to meet their needs.

Actually easy to understand. They are Christians the way Trump is a stable genius. They are lying to achieve power.

Might help to understand that many who claim to be Christians never actually read the Gospels. I did! Jesus was a teacher! NOT a preacher! He sought to educate people, and some listened to him but the ones who didn't ended up crucifyjng him. Reading the Bible is one of the reasons why I'm #atheist

Jesus was also a work of fiction. Great character. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed reading the Gospels. Except for John. Meh.

Jesus is a historical figure. The Roman Tacitus mentions Jesus in his description of the great fire that destroyed Rome. Search for "Christians" in this document. Book 15. classics.mit.edu/Tacitus/anna...

This is not the ‘love thy neighbor’ and ‘do unto others’ Christians, this is a pseudo Christian cult who make up their own commandments and rules. They are the KKK, the Proud Boys, the ignorant, and corrupt sheep.

Reading is one thing...understanding and applying them to your life is another thing altogether.

Because they've never fucking read them. #notReligious #pyramidScheme

Blind leading the blind.

Really? Most Christians I know are just like that, so no mystery to me Christian politicians are as well

Same here! Going to bible study on Tuesday night and talking racist crap on Wednesday morning. Complete hypocrites!

Same reason there's a whole other justice system for the wealthy and powerful. Rules simply don't apply to them. Why should the rules of God be any different?

They don't actually read the gospels.

I see your mistake. You *assume* that they can read and that they read the gospels.

Read, you expect people to read when you can listen to trump and his cronies along with with some TV news? telling everybody what to belive.

It’s because they don’t believe in the gospel or Jesus Christ but use both to deceive people.

Why are the churches not doing more to distance themselves from these people, excommunication, banning, shunning. Call out the false Christians from the pulpit.

I’m a Christian & I’m distancing myself from a lot of churches. Right wing churches that is. I go to a progressive church where everyone is accepted & we reach out as much as we can to the poor, the sick the widows & those that are locked up.

During his first term when I was in DC I stayed with a couple that played organ for 2 different churches. I didn't meet anyone who would admit to liking him let alone vote for him.

I don’t like any right wing Christians including trump who isn’t a Christian. To me right wing Christians are exactly like the religious right of Jesus day.

Then you haven't really read the thing

Thanks for the post, it's time to start splitting hairs. The Christian leaders need to respond to what is happening in the USA, ppl need to fight back.

They are reading the Old Testament, not the Gospels. And, as people are wont to do, they are cherry picking what they want.

Exactly Also, CALL your senators 🛑 STOP 🛑 this horrible death budget

Using the Lords name in vain is not about cursing. It's about calling yourself a Christian while being a vile POS in your heart.

Because they aren't Christians, they only pretend.

I don’t understand it either. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤬🤬

Because they are not Christian. They think Christianity is all about self. Following Jesus is not about self. They can call themselves whatever they want it doesn’t make it so.

You’re not Christians first of all. They don’t care along with this felon who is in charge of our country.

Because Jesus speaks to the GOP through Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson is a pious Christian

It is called religious pageantry or fake religiosity. GOP are masters of quoting the Bible yet never understanding much less living its teachings. They are truly as "Christian" as the Taliban!

It's the low-income "Christians" who vote for evil I don't get

Money.

Me 2.

That’s because they aren’t really Christians. They give true Christians a bad name.

And I doubt that many of them have ever touched a Bible except for when they were sworn in.

No true Christian can understand. Most Republicans that claim to be Christians are not.

Shall we say it's a special kind of stupid?

I have a list of questions I want to ask God if I meet him. That's on top of the list.

Mike Johnson you are not Christ like!! You are a Devil!! REPENT and be Saved!
