When reading the
article "A Born Again Donald Trump" it talks to you about
Donald's history of being a Christian. It tells you that he
is what they refer to as a baby -Christian. In the past
Donald Trump has used language and also actions that have led others to think otherwise.
This article was based off an interview that was with Rev. Michael Anthony
and Dr. Dobson. These two individuals stated that Trump in
the beginning stages of Christianity cannot be expected to
be farther along than others nor speak their language. I understand that
when someone is starting something that we all have to
start somewhere and we are all at different levels. As explained
in the article by Dr. Dobson. What I find to be Fallacious about
the article is here you have a Reverend and also another Pastor
who are here to "lead others unto Christ". Dr. Dobson mentioned
in the interview: "Mr. Trump did not exactly fit the typical mold of an
evangelical. He used the word ‘hell’ four or five times,” he said. “He
doesn’t know our language.” He added that Mr. Trump “refers a lot to religion
and not much to faith and belief.” I am not sure if this is just me or not
but it seems like the Pastor is talking down to Trump as the baby Christian he
says he is and not treating him as an equal. I guess the point I am trying to
get across is that here in this interview it sounds more like ranks
or skill level of advancing that one must make within the religion to gain
that respect of "knowing god". What I have understood from those that
believe in god is that we are all equal in his eyes. I think that this back
fires on them and invalidates their own argument just in the manner that
they explain themselves and justify why Trump is that way he is.
I can see also how the Reverend and
Pastor want to defend Trump. I can see a couple of reasons why they would want
to do something like this:
1: Because Trump can pay
a big tithe.
2: Because they
also are supposed to be there to give hope and be optimistic of change, in
this case, that Trump can become a better Christian.
