Why are closing ceremonies so weird

There's not a Man or Woman on this earth who hasn't sinned? Aren't you a sinner ? I guess that makes you a terrible person also? Or everyone who has sinned is a terrible person huh? I was ? I was a sinner,I had addictions, many of them. Yet I was saved and gave my life to Christ? Does that make me a terrible person? Not when my sins were forgiven. Why can't Trump's? Why can't anyone that gives their life to Jesus be? Instead of being persecuted like Jesus was .

Because Trump has never asked for forgiveness or admitted he made any mistakes or sinned.
 
God can forgive him then. Doesn't mean I will.
Forgiveness is very difficult. It's also very comforting and relieving when you do forgive. 99.99% chance that those that you hold grudges against doesn't impact them at all. That applies to everything and not just politics.

Don't you throw your shade at me Orange. I responded to the post for one reason only - to show the evidence that the artistic director himself said it was meant to depict the feast of Dionysus. You and others in this thread are posting your feelings about something you can't prove.

I am not here to mock anyone's religion nor do I even care what the scene was meant to depict because I'm not a snowflake. This is much ado about nothing so leave me out of it please.
I’m not throwing shade at you bro! I haven’t posted my feelings about anything. Yesterday is actually the first time I have posted anything about the picture for that very reason…I did not want to comment out of anger or disgust. I’ve been very careful in my conversations off of TI about this stuff.

It’s easy to look at the Olympic picture and the Last Supper picture and see the obvious…unless you just refuse to see it. It seems that nothing shocks people anymore and it seems that nothing is off limits. It was obviously an attack on Christianity. They knew that it would cause an uproar and did not care.

I’ve never called you a “snowflake”, at least not that I’m aware of.

Sigh
 
Just remember that if you ever have any problems with any other political candidate’s character. My experience is the people who say this about the former president never say it about anybody else. Comparing him to Jesus is really almost too absurd to respond to.
Who compared him to Jesus ?? I said he is persecuted for his faith like Jesus was
 
Here's a fact not an opinion Jesus saves,He forgives doesn't matter who you are what sins you've committed, Thru his blood He saves!!! Trump can be saved , Junkies can be saved,everyone can be saved thru the blood of Jesus Christ . Acts 2 verse 38 says so .

Wait, you think that Donald Trump “has been persecuted like Jesus was”?
I never said he was being persecuted like Jesus was . No man could ever suffer what Jesus died on the cross for. What I said was He was being persecuted like many other Christians are. Because of his faith. like many persecute Christians on this board. Donald Trump isn't a God he's a man who's made mistakes like any other man . Doesn't mean he hasn't giving his heart to God and asked forgiveness. No one knows his heart but God himself and it's no man's place to judge another man's faith or beliefs but Jesus Christ himself. People have their opinions I have mine that's what was said

While nobody can judge what's in his heart, you can see his actions.

You have said that you lived a sinful life. You found God an changed your life. That s awesome and I'm really,truly happy for you.

I would imagine that your actions changed. You stopped the wicked behavior,you attended a church, you started reading the Bible, etc

Now look at DJT. Can't name a book of the Bible. Doesn't know a single verse when asked what his favorite verse is. Continued to use awful language and insult people.

There is a hymn we sang at my Church growing up called "Let Others See Jesus in You".

I would imagine it's obvious in your life.

You LITERALLY said “That's your opinion and I respect that ,it's not mine .”; when @ChicagoTiger85 said “Trump is not ‘persecuted like Jesus was.’” So, yes, you said that Donald Trump was persecuted like Jesus Christ. That is twice, now, where you’ve denied the words that you typed on this message board.

Agree with this. And what is sad is if you are a believer, can you imagine the powerful Witness he would have to others if he came out and said "I was wrong 9 years, I do need forgiveness like we all do" and then he actually starting showing change in his life due to the Spirit? Maybe he'd still lose his cool occasionally as a sinner and say something dumb, but he could then again show the growth of sanctification and ask forgiveness and try to grow again. Wow God would seem so powerful! Even non-Trump fans who are convinced he is a narcissistic a**hole, would likely start to wonder if there's something to this God/Jesus thing if someone like Trump can change.

But instead, it feels like we have people saying "we have no idea what's in his heart". Which, while true, if there is change in his heart, but he's showing zero change publicly, you are essentially saying the Spirit is completely powerless, or completely uninterested in reaching millions.

Jesus is still persecuted till this day by many,just like Christians are . Trump is persecuted for his beliefs like Jesus was!! When no one knows his heart. I never said Trump died on the cross or felt the pain Jesus did. Twist my words all you want dude. Again. That's my opinion you don't have to agree with my beliefs or opinion I don't know you you don't know me your opinion of me doesn't matter . That's the Country we live in, a Country we all are allowed to express our opinions and beliefs . Not be persecuted for being Christian, atheist,whatever your religion is . Like I see many do on this board but have a nice day. May God keep you and your family safe.

When you get called wako. I worship a sky fairy,I imaginable creature that don't exist. The Bible is a book full of lies. That's persecution. Call it what you want and I'll take it whatever they say. So yes I've been persecuted and laughed at and that's cool. Because when God returns and it will be very soon I'll be gone while many are left behind. So does that answer your question??okclem??

I actually wouldn't call that persecution. It's someone being an asshole, but they aren't denying you any legal rights, they aren't physically harming you etc.

My question was "Are any non-Christian Americans persecuted iyo?"

So, no, it definitely does not answer my question.

I'm sure they are,I don't persecute them,I pray for them , I pray one day those non Christians will find Jesus as I did. He's a mighty God one that forgives . Maybe that answers it

Well just depends on your opinion of persecuted ,which I respect persecution comes in many forms. And yes in a way your right physical harm wouldn't turn out well for them🙂 and in a way yes they are denying my beliefs . But we all have our opinions .but we all have one thing in common we love the Clemson Tigers and that's what it's all about :)

No, it definitely still does not. But I'll be honest with you, I don't care about your answer in the slightest, so it's fine.

LMAO, Trump is persecuted for being a pathologically lying criminal sociopath. That's quite different from Jesus' "beliefs"
