Christianity is a religion of redemption.
Who am I to challenge and refuse Trump's call for forgiveness?
I have to take his word of his own faith and repentance. Had the Devil asked Christ for forgiveness, would God have granted it? I don't know?
I know that I am not personally strong enough to rebuke Trump's call for a second chance and a new path in life. I will not be the one to cast the first stone over the shoulder of Jesus at Trump.
Oh so true. But this isn't about refusing Trump Salvation. It is about the confusion of the church to know God when they see Him. To recognize and seek His Wisdom. These people forwarding Trump being Gods chosen should be mature Christians discerning the difference between the world will save me or God will save me. He is our Refuge and Strength. If Trump recently accepted Christ as his Savior all of Heaven is rejoicing. But we cannot confuse where the Power comes from and it isn't any man. If Trump recently accepted the Lord he is still preaching worldy idea's. Self puffing up. It is the church who will be judged if they confuse fear with apprehension and idol worship with Trust in God.
To the faithful, Trump has said, "Christians should vote for me because if I'm there, you're going to have plenty of power. You don't need anybody else." Trump claims to be sinless and without need of God's forgiveness. Let me ask you, when the beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies, what kind of things do you think he said?

New International Version
The Church and Its Leaders
1Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? 4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
5What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 9For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
16Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
18Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”a ; 20and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”b 21So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephasc or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.
Psalm 62:11
Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
