Did GOD really save the life of Trump to somehow save mankind? Or is that belief just further justification for his authoritarian and selfish actions.

**The Core Belief**
Some Christian Trump supporters view him as divinely ordained and "chosen by God," with some comparing him to Jesus, and opposition to him seen as spiritual warfare. Trump shared and played a video entitled "God Made Trump" at several of his rallies, explicitly comparing him to a messianic figure in religious terms.
Professor Bradley Onishi, a former Christian nationalist and author of *Preparing for War*, explains that Trump has fashioned himself as specifically chosen by God — playing not just the role of a politician, but as a cosmic savior to a Christian mission. In this framework, political opponents are not merely people with different views but are seen as "in the service of Satan."
**The "Cyrus the Great" Framework**
A major leader in this movement is Lance Wallnau, who leads a coalition of Christians who believe that Trump is prophesied to play a critical role in the nation's spiritual reformation. These Christians see Trump as a modern-day Cyrus the Great — the powerful empire builder and nonbeliever credited in the Old Testament with returning the Jews to the Holy Land — believing that under Trump's protection, American Christians will rise up and take their rightful place of power in the country.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist pastor, has also cast Trump in explicitly biblical terms, comparing him to figures like Cyrus and Artaxerxes, and writing to Trump: "God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century — maybe ever... I believe you will hear from heaven."
**The Assassination Attempt as "Proof"**
This belief in a Trump prophecy grew stronger after Trump survived an assassination attempt in July 2024, with many believers interpreting the near-miss as confirmation of divine protection.
**Survey Data**
A PRRI (Public Religion Research Institute) poll found that Christian nationalist beliefs are strongly correlated with Republican Party identity and support for Trump. A majority of Republicans (55%) and fully two-thirds of white evangelicals qualify as Christian nationalist adherents or sympathizers.
**Criticisms — Including from Christians**
Critics like theologian Dan Horan argue that the religion Trump is promoting is merely a simulacrum of authentic Christianity — a pseudo-Christianity that has little resemblance to the real thing, functioning more like a cult with its own doctrines ("God Made Trump"), supreme authority (Trump), and liturgies (MAGA rallies).
More than 24,000 national church leaders, clergy, and lay people have signed a statement condemning Christian nationalism, with critics arguing that "wanting to gain power as Christian nationalists is in direct opposition to what Jesus taught."
Remember Trump pulled out of the JCPOA in 2018. It officially would have expired about this time. By all accounts from inspections Iran was complying with the agreement as of 2018. So 8 years later they had time to do whatever they wanted.Reality check!
As usual trump fucked up.

Asks the guy who declared that Trump is the second coming....Ah! An agnostics opinion at last!
I'll bite. As an Agnostic who knows FAR more about Christianity than most here, I think that if there is any "prophecy" that is true here, it is more likely one that says that somewhere he bears the mark of the beast - 666. God may have saved him to help him bring the end of days...
Well, it's better than the hateful threads you normally start. But the hyperbolic cheerleading ain't exactly a better look....

Trump got lucky, it’s as simple as that. Originally Posted by JacuzzmeYou must have missed where the OP stated his emotional state by what this thread has done for the posters grey matter.
