Surprise me and expound on what you know about the ""Christ of the Bible". Is there another one we should know about?
I just meant following the scripture itself, and not one of the confabulations of him that some people seem to have.
But, per usual, the actual comment being made is ignored.
Just refer back to the Beatitudes and then focus on the empty jesture of Donald Trump's gesture... Perhaps of he lived his life by these, this simple action might have a little meaning.
The Beatitudes
