Listen Later

In this episode, the scriptural case for voting against Donald Trump.

In exploring a scriptural case for voting against Donald Trump, one can turn to various teachings in the Bible that emphasize virtues like humility, truthfulness, justice, and care for the marginalized.

1. Humility and Leadership

• Proverbs 16:18 – “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

• Philippians 2:3-4 – “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”

These verses highlight the danger of pride and selfish ambition.

2. Truthfulness and Integrity

• Proverbs 12:22 – “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.”

• Ephesians 4:25 – “Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor.”

Truth and honesty are essential biblical values.

3. Justice for the Marginalized

• Isaiah 1:17 – “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”

• Matthew 25:40 – “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

The Bible repeatedly calls for justice and care for the marginalized, including immigrants.

4. Peacemaking vs. Division

• Matthew 5:9 – “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.”

• Proverbs 6:16-19 – Lists seven things the Lord detests, including “a person who stirs up conflict in the community.”

5. Servant Leadership

• Mark 10:43-45 – “... whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.”

Jesus calls leaders to serve others humbly.
