Trump and the 10 Commandments



I'll give him a pass on the first two, since I have no way to know if he follows those. Still, he seems to be a servant of Mammon, so maybe he has broken the first. Perhaps, too, every time he says "God bless the United States," he may be taking that name in vain.

As for number 3, I've never seen him attend church on Sunday. Unless golfing is worship, I give him a fail on this one.

Number 4 is questionable, but I do not know of any specific violation. Still, his dad sent him off to military prep school, so I'm betting he didn't honor his dad too well. If he cursed his father, at least his dad didn't follow the Old Testament rules.

On number five, I cannot say, actually. I do not know of any instance where he murdered another person.

He certainly has broken number 6, though, and on multiple occasions.
His violations of number 7 are also numerous. Stiffing people to whom you owe money is stealing.
I doubt he has ever followed number 8. He appears to lie as he breathes.
Number 9. Donald trump has coveted his neighbor's wife on many occasions. The extended version also mentions the neighbor's ass, and I imagine he has coveted plenty of those.
Number 10 is easy. Trump want's everyone's goods. His greed is legendary.

He's not doing so well in keeping those commandments, it seems....

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

that proof text is often used to show sinners that they cannot measure up in order to point them to Christ who is believed to have kept the whole law perfectly and therefore by faith his righteousness is imputed or accredited to them. However sense Trump doesn't acknowledge he is a sinner. So the righteousness of Christ cannot possibly be imputed to him. Therefore Trump is guilty of breaking all the commandments.

This is the second time today, I posted about the cheesemakers. I am very worried about them.

5,7 and 8 are the only ones I accept. #6 maybe depending on the definition - when I was in Catholic grade school the definition included anyone who was not your husband or wife joined in a Catholic ceremony.
1, 2 and 3 are bullshit; 4 is usually a good policy but you don't have to honor a psychopath; and I never saw the need to worry about the coveting as long as you don't sleep with your neighbor's wife (or husband?) or steal their stuff.

If you kill, you steal someone's life.
If you lie, you steal the truth.
Etcetera.
Don't take what does not belong to you.
