"Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new."--2nd Corinthians 5:17 (King James version).
This may be the truest test of President Trump as a born-again Christian.
You've probably read or heard by now that author and cable personality E. Jean Carroll came forward the other day to say that Trump made a very aggressive approach to her in the dressing room at Burgdorf Goodman in New York some years back. Trump, predictably, denies it even happened, and dismissed Carroll as "not my type".
If Trump is truly a Christian, a fact that the mainstream press hasn't picked up on, preferring to reference the President's childish tantrums and dismissive behavior toward certain parties (i.e. the press) instead of scolding him for his seeming hypocrisy, he should've just let this go without a rebuttal.
But, no. That's not in his character. What makes us question his sincerity about his faith is that ever present ego, which should've been shut down around the time of his meeting with Dr. James Dobson of Focus on The Family three years ago. Carroll, for her part, hadn't been heard from all that much since her CNBC show signed off a few years back.
Naturally, Trump left himself wide open to be skewered by late night yakkers Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah (The Daily Show), and, in this clip, Seth Meyers:
As Christians, we're supposed to turn the other cheek to the "sins of the past". That's not the Trumpian way.
Poor Mike Pence. The Vice President didn't realize that his job description upon his election included babysitter. It'll be news the next time the President actually sets foot in a church, and can actually read scripture without fumbling, like he did at Liberty University two years ago. Maybe Pence can lead him to the nearest confessional when they have a few free seconds.......
