As most of us know by now, yesterday Donald Trump announced that he was partnering with Lee Greenwood to sell what are called the “God Bless the USA” Bibles. It includes both the KJV Bible AND a number of documents related to the founding of America, all in one book.
To some people, including myself, it seems like a very unsettling combination of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of America. A deliberate mixture, or confusion, of the things of heaven with the things of this world.
Most Christians probably don’t see it that way, though. In fact, this “God Bless the USA” Bible will undoubtedly sell a lot of copies, as many Christians already combine their faith with an extreme patriotism that can only be described as idolatry.
Toss in their absolute devotion to Donald Trump, and it’s clear that both Trump and Lee Greenwood stand to make a LOT of money. After all, Donald Trump could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and tear up a Bible, and they would still love him.
But here’s the good news: Trump selling Bibles, especially a Bible that mixes in this idolatry of America with God’s word, is having the net effect of awakening some Christians to the type of man he is.
Now you could argue that they should have known all along, but the point is that this is NOW serving to make them consider the possibility that Donald Trump is, in fact, an evil man.
Over the last 24 hours I’ve read a number of comments on conservative sites from Christians who admit that this is making them feel uneasy. That it just seems wrong, even if they can’t bring themselves to completely distance themselves from Trump.
Even a small poll I did on my channel this morning, with about 1,500 respondents, showed that nearly 20% of those who profess to be Christian feel that Trump selling Bibles not only sickens them, but is leading them to think that he might BE evil.
Now, you might have expected me to say that the good news is that those who buy this Bible are at least reading God’s word, in the KJV no less. But, no, I don’t believe that combining the KJV with an idolatry of America does anything good for anyone.
Rather, the good news is this: with Trump selling these “God Bless the USA” Bibles, some Christians are beginning to have the veil lifted from their eyes and are starting to see him for what he really is.
Trump selling these Bibles has allowed some Christians to finally break free of the strong delusion. God really does work in mysterious ways. ♦
