Letter: Response to "Why Trump?" letter

Mr. Evans’ letter “Why Trump?”, claims Trump supports Christian values. Does Trump, as you imply, display “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness…” (‘fruits of the Spirit’ in Galatians 5:22-23 in Bible)? His public behavior exhibits “immorality, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, dissensions…” (Galatians 5:19-20).

You believe God put Trump in office to politically stop abortion. Yet Bible indicates Jesus and scripture writers had no interest in political solutions to world’s problems. Jesus told Pilate “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36) and resisted his followers’ efforts to make him a king (John 6:15).

I agree that “millions of Christians” support President-elect Trump. Why? Jesus implied most people interested in God want the “broad” but not the “narrow way.” Perhaps the warning in 2 Thessalonians 2:2-11 about God allowing a Man of Lawlessness to deceive people “who do not love truth” has merit today.

Mr. Evans, please read your Bible more carefully before writing about politics and Christian values.
