Trump Participates In Marathon Bible Reading by Ironfaceman(op): 8:36am On Apr 22

US President Donald Trump has participated in a marathon Bible reading session organised by Christian conservatives, against the backdrop of his rift with the Pope and his recent posting of an image that appeared to depict him as a Jesus-like figure.

Trump read from 2 Chronicles on Tuesday night, as part of the "America Reads the Bible" event at the Museum of the Bible in Washington.

The passage is often invoked by Christian conservatives in the US, and is interpreted to be a call for citizens to repent and for God to bless the nation.

Numerous public figures are participating in the week-long continuous reading of the entire Bible that started 18 April.

The US Constitution bars the government from establishing a national religion, however, the Trump administration has embraced a movement in the country to see Christianity as a key part the founding of the US and for leaders to follow the Bible. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, for example, cites passages in his press briefings and also leads prayers in his department.

During the week-long reading event, which is timed to commemorate the 250th anniversary of US independence, other prominent conservatives and members of the administration, including Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, are sharing passages.

The organisers say it will encourage a "return to the spiritual foundation that has shaped our country".

Trump's section was taped in the White House's Oval Office earlier, and was filmed on two cameras that were edited together.

The passage he read includes the line: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

The reading comes as Trump quarrels with Pope Leo XIV, who has criticised the US for waging war on Iran.

On Friday, Trump told reporters that he has "a right to disagree with the Pope."

Trump's comment came one day after the Pope criticised those who "manipulate religion" while he was on an official visit to Cameroon.

"Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth," the Pope said.


Trump later took down the post, saying that he thought it was meant to show him as a doctor.

He later posted a second AI image that showed Jesus embracing Trump with the caption: "The Radical Left Lunatics might not like this, but I think it is quite nice!!!"

Believe it or not, Donald Trump is the real deal. If you read the book of Isaiah 45 of the Holy Bible, you will understand where Mr Donald Trump is coming from. I think the man is acting under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. As many as are led by the spirit of God, they are sons of God.

Actual he has gone mad. The scripture he's quoting I doubt if he understands a sentence there.

Surah Yunus 10:94

"If you ˹O Prophet˺ are in doubt about ˹these stories˺ that We have revealed to you, then ask those who read the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt,"

There is a clear instruction that the" people who read the scriptures" are to clear your doubts, if you then call it a fallacy, how is ur book true?

Somehow, Ahmad has started quoting scriptures.

Imagine Mustapha quoting scriptures and quoting the pope, giving himself to the word of God, just because of Trump!
That is undercover evangelism.

These ones are not different from the mullahs that are in Iran. No different. The only difference is that they are reading the Bible. The mullahs are reading the Quran. That's all.

Trump knows how to "whine" baba God to overlook all his nonsense characters, or to give him time to do what is right. Senior yahoo boss!
Re: Trump Participates In Marathon Bible Reading by Idaytesj29(m): 2:04pm On Apr 22
Lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😆 😆 😆 😆
This country reputation will take a 100 years to rebuild after Trump had left.
I personally never thought the US, Almighty US can reach a rock bottom level of shame and classlessness like this so soon. Truly, empires do fall.
