And surely Trump does not.

Also I firmly believe that most people who call themselves Christian would not support a politician who ran on a platform of Christ's teachings.
Did jesus say that we were to allow just any terrorist to come on in then? or to not defund Planned parenthood? or to not have a strong miliary, as think David did not get that memo either?

You tell me what Jesus taught concerning how we are to treat our enemies.

How did Jesus treat the enemies of israel and God in the OT, as it is the SAME God in both!

Wrong question. You cannot say what God commanded in the OT is the same as the teachings of Jesus in the NT. God had to reveal self slowly as mankind gained in understanding. If you claim you are a Christian than you must live as Christ taught. So again, what did Christ teach in the NT as to how we are to treat our enemies?

Are you saying that God forbids us to defend ourselves?
And God ordering Israel to destroy her enemies was not sin, and so is applicapable to us today, correct?

Surely? And would you quote Trump announcing he "does not know what Christ taught"?
Otherwise I will have to acknowledge you make statements of which you know nothing about.

Also I firmly believe that most people who call themselves Christian would not support a politician who ran on a platform of Christ's teachings.

Fascinating! I suppose one would have to KNOW most people who call themselves Christians, to thus KNOW what they would or would not support.

Seems presenting opinions as facts is part of a Liberal mantra, wouldn't you agree? :)

Do expound on your version of "how one is to treat an enemy".

I cannot imagine Trump admitting that he is ignorant of anything.

I look at the responses on this board, read news about what evangelicals and fundamentalists say and it is easy to see that they would not support a politician who held that out government should follow the teachings of Jesus in our treatment of others.

Surely you know.

I know, however I was not sure YOU knew.
You presented a statement about Trump, that you called "sure", regarding Trump's knowledge of How to treat an enemy. Back up your "sure" stated claim with some facts. eh?

Rom 12
[14] Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Luke 6
[27] But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
[28] Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

I said; First one has to know what Christ taught.

You said;

And surely Trump does not.

Expound ~ WHAT is your evidence that Trump DOES NOT?
