The basic principles of Christian behavior come from the teachings of Jesus and the writings of the New Testament. Key principles include:

1. Love God and Love Others
Matthew 22:37-39 — “Love the Lord your God with all your heart... Love your neighbor as yourself.”
This is the core of Christian ethics.

2. Follow Jesus' Example
1 Peter 2:21 — Christians are called to live as Jesus did: with humility, compassion, and obedience to God.

3. Practice Forgiveness
Matthew 6:14 — Forgive others as God forgives you. This includes letting go of grudges and seeking reconciliation.

4. Be Honest and Just
Ephesians 4:25 — Speak truthfully and act fairly in all dealings. Avoid deceit and injustice.

5. Be Humble
Philippians 2:3 — “Do nothing out of selfish ambition... but in humility consider others better than yourselves.”

6. Care for the Poor and Vulnerable
James 1:27 — True religion includes helping widows, orphans, and others in need.

7. Avoid Sin and Pursue Holiness
Romans 6:1-2 — Christians are called to turn away from sin and live a holy life.

8. Live in Peace with Others
Romans 12:18 — “If it is possible... live at peace with everyone.” Avoid revenge and promote harmony.

9. Serve Others
Mark 10:45 — Jesus came to serve. Christians are expected to serve others, not seek power or status.

10. Trust in God
Proverbs 3:5 — Trust God’s will, especially when it’s difficult to understand or follow.

These principles shape daily conduct, relationships, and moral choices.

You really want to play this game? You know that Christians in the US skipped past the part where Jesus says it isn’t just the love of God that will bring you salvation, but love for others including one’s enemies through acts of forgiveness, compassion and service. Nothing says love for your fellow man then gutting social services and health care. Poverty in the US is regarded as a self-inflicted sin that you should be punished for rather than providing people with assistance.

The teachings of Jesus are heavy on forgiveness, service, humility and grace. There are zero aspects of US domestic policy that exhibits any of these themes and if US ‘Christians’ feel that GOP policy resonates with their values then they ain’t Christians.

To be honest, this isn’t something I care about. What values your average US citizen aligns with is up to them, but at least have the guts to own them, rather than dressing them up in Christian clothes and pretending any of it is the teachings of Jesus because the rest of us can fucking read and see the glaring contradictions for ourselves.

I don't care what Trump himself believes. But its silly to pretend Christianic values are more represented by the last regime vis a vis this.

That is just silly on its face

Manifestly untrue. The last administration clearly showed more Christian values in domestic policy than this one. For starters they didn’t pass a bill robbing the poor to give to the rich. By doing absolutely nothing the last administration would have shown more Christian values. You are having a shocker today.
 
Donald Trump is a long-term golf cheat who also brags about his ridiculous DEI participation trophies. Trump is fragility on steriods. Everyone has to lie to massage his planet-swallowing ego. He knows it. It's not like he doesn't know he's a cheat. The point is is to "dare" anyone to call him out. It's all part of Donald Trump's ongoing humiliation ritual. This guy must have had a fucked up childhood.

e.g. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story...ampionship-new-jersey-bedminster/85190196007/

His Christian supporters see nothing in this, of course. It's just a game (so why cheat?). It's a very minor thing (so why cheat?). His wild claims about his history of winning at golf (a "just a game" he cheats at), out of character.

I don't know about anyone else but his recent absurd lie about his uncle and the unabomber - especially the recounting of an impossible conversation - is my new favorite Trump very minor thing. A close second was when Trump shit all over a trade deal, a deal negotiated by dummies who are terrible people don't worry Trump will fix it...turns out it was his trade deal, a deal he signed, a deal he bragged about.

“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much". Jesus. Luke 16:10

^^^^^^^ "woke" "weak" "he was captured. some hero" "lightweight" "loser." ^^^^^^^^

Oh, dear. More unpatriotic bootlicking. As the popular expression goes I would hate to be in the trenches with you lot. You’d be shooting your brothers in arms in the back and waving a white flag.

Starmer handles Trump very well, pulls him up every now and then but keeps him sweet for the sake of trade deal for our economy - he's clearly thinking what a fat orange rapist peado **** like the rest of us but diplomatically plays it cool.

All those seem perfectly reasonable, until you get to number 10, which is the ultimate “get out of jail free” card, which allows you to make up your own, personally convenient, interpretation on what gods will is and renders ever single “teaching” irrelevant. All religions have it and it allows you blithly ignore, or put down to “faith” anything you can’t, or don’t want to, understand, or accept.

Every single world leader knows exactly how to treat Trump. Trump is far too stupid to realise that a put on display of sycophancy is staged to get what they want from him. Seems you don’t get it either.
 
For a second there I was almost distracted by Trump's UK circus.

Wait, let's talk about Trump's relationship with his great friend Jeff (who likes them on the younger side) and Jeff's pimp Ghislaine 'I wish her well" Maxwell. I wonder what made Trump dismiss him from his life you know for being a creep? There must be a reason why no one seems interested in what the world's genius knew and when he knew it.

Weird. This must be the only example in Trump's life of someone pulling the wool over his eyes. Yeah. Trump had no idea. That's the ticket.

It's probably just me - it clearly isn't MAGA - but as a father of four girls I think Trump's history of sexualizing his daughters, publicly, probably not Jesus-approved. Not sure though, I'd better check my Trump Bible.

That’s rich, given a US President is now immune from prosecution thanks to the US Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court.

Nice try, but you definitely overreached with that one.
