I actually have some education in the Bible, so I understand that revelation is not prophecy. It is apocalyptic literature. But Trump so fits the description of the antichrist that I might have to change my mind.
Most biblical scholars assert that the book of revelation was written about the Roman Empire [certainly fits with the time frame of its writing around the year 90], and nothing to do with 'end times' prophesy. The 'beast' of revelation was the Roman emperor Domitian or Nero, e.g. But most modern christians treat it as apocalypse porn.
Apocalypse porn. I like that one. I also love how they talk about the bad old testament God and good New Testament God. Have they actually ever read revelation?
The end-times types I've met - and they're thick on the ground here in the Bible Belt - would gladly give up being raptured AND the thousand year reign of their Jesus just to watch 'all 'em libruls and atheists' get what's coming to them for not believing the nonsense they preach. Their idea of revelation is watching other people suffer. You know, like Jesus taught and stuff.....
There’s no h8 like Xitian love. My mother is one of those end-timer wackos and she is also the worst person I have ever known. She can’t wait to thumb her nose at us as she is being sucked up into Jesus’ Vacuum Cleaner of Righteousness.
Sometimes I can feel sorry for them because I think they are so scared of being wrong that if anybody has a different belief, it’s too threatening. But the amount of pain they caused to others in the name of the guy who says what you do to others is what you do to me, that kind of amazes me.
I really appreciate your comments. I too studied history associated with the Bible
& Christianity & you are right! I remain a Catholic: the peace & social justice kind. I find I'm wondering about the Antichrist too. I would remind the maga apostate Catholics that in the desert Jesus was tempted by Satan with worldly power & glory & he rebuked & rejected Satan & his offers. Trump takes all the offers of riches, fame, power. Maga should keep that in mind.
If you're a Pope Chicago Bob-style catholic, you're the true kind. MAGA catholics are no different from MAGA evangelicals - practitioners of phony, name-only, performative Christianity that their Jesus wouldn't recognize. I applaud Pope Leo for call out their hypocrisy. Notice which 'catholics' are hollering like hit dogs.
Unfortunately, it's not just Catholics; almost so-called "Christians" let Trump and Republicans weaponize Christianity for political and financial gain.
MAGA catholics are just as phony as MAGA evangelicals or MAGA any flavor of christian. If your first loyalty is to Trump, you're a Trumpist, not a christian. The two are mutually exclusive.
"And he spake unto the multitudes, saying: 'Blessed are the sycophants, for they shall inherit the pardons. Thou shalt hearken not to the Vicar of Rome, for his ratings are weak and his devotion lacking. Verily I say unto you, trade your actual faith for these golden sneakers, embrace the midnight glitch, and thou shalt have no other gods before me.' And the Pharisees rejoiced, tearing up the Beatitudes to make way for the grift." > — The Book of MAGA, Chapter 47, Verses 3-6
I am neither a Catholic nor a Christian, but just read or listen to the language of these people supporting Trump. They are not Catholics or Christians either, they Trumpians, members of a cult that worship their demented leader.
Amen! Well, MAGA is loyal to their dear leader and it’s a screwed up cult. They wear ear bandages, diapers and waste their money on stupid merchandise.
All because Dear Leader played a savvy business tycoon on a television game show. God is, apparently, less powerful than teevee for milllions of shitheaded Americans.
It takes no imagination to realize how deep into the cult MAGA Christians reside. The inability to elicit even a micro ounce of intelligence might be astounding, if not for the fact that their mindless support of the Orange Palpatine speaks to their inherent disfunction. Critical thinking is beyond their reach. You know that hole being dug to China? They've chosen to reside with the moles on their way down.
Sometimes words are hard to find for that blasphemous heretic. The book of Revelation is more about what has already happened, not what will happen; however, some people like to weild it like a weapon of gloom and doom. I am not Catholic, but I have great respect for Pope Leo and what he stands for in our broken world. Pedo trumpstein has exposed the cesspool of darkness into the light, and they are gnashing their teeth at the light. There aren't enough diapers for this shit storm.
All of maga are heretics. I think it’s time to bring back shunning. Seriously. Stop giving these people anymore attention or try to reason with them. They are hopelessly lost and don’t deserve our time or energy.

And this rapture stuff is like 150 years old.
I am probably somewhat of a Bible hobbyist and it pains me how much they misunderstand it well proclaiming loudly that they believe every word
That's right.

A reading from the book of MAGA
"And he spake unto the multitudes, saying: 'Blessed are the sycophants, for they shall inherit the pardons. Thou shalt hearken not to the Vicar of Rome, for his ratings are weak and his devotion lacking. Verily I say unto you, trade your actual faith for these golden sneakers, embrace the midnight glitch, and thou shalt have no other gods before me.'

Gibby75, you win the internet today!
Hahahahahaha!
Dear G-d, I cannot afford a candy bar right now. So I cannot be a paid subscriber right now. Please forgive this old sinner.
I'm an Atheist, but I do believe in this God here. He's a good one - He'll forgive you, I'm sure! :)
"Trumplics" I like it. (and I am Catholic.)
Trumpilics gold sneakers?
I am neither a Catholic nor a Christian, but just read or listen to the language of these people supporting Trump. They are not Catholics or Christians either, they Trumpians, members of a cult that worship their demented leader.
Their real religion consists of “I follow whoever gives me someone to hate more than myself.” The Pope doesn’t do that, but Jabba does.
Amen! Well, MAGA is loyal to their dear leader and it’s a screwed up cult. They wear ear bandages, diapers and waste their money on stupid merchandise.
Btw, I watched the movie: Pulp Fiction!
They know Not of what they speak. Diseased minds, souls: heartless and brainless who’ll wind up in darkness terror. They’ve earned it.
All because Dear Leader played a savvy business tycoon on a television game show. God is, apparently, less powerful than teevee for milllions of shitheaded Americans.
I guess "not putting false gods before me" is just a suggestion SMH!

What shall it profit a person if they gain the whole world but lose their their own soul. Watch it soulwise MAGA congregation.
