Hypocrisy and the Lie
What does the Bible say about the lie and the liar?
What does the Bilble say about believing a lie?
“Trump Supporters” continue to believe and perpetuate the lie that the presidential election was stolen. Such a “belief” undermines the testimony of Christian about Jesus and salvation. Why should I believe that what you say about God, Jesus, and/or salvation and the cleansing from sin when I can’t believe what you say about the presidential election and the underlying truth about our governing process?
You say that you are a Christian and believe in God and Jesus. But if I cannot believe what you say about matters in the news today (i.e. the election) why should I believe what you say about God, Jesus, and/or Biblical truths?
