Trump’s cringeworthy gaffe during Communion at Iowa church

And yet Trump cultists will still adamantly declare that Trump is a Christian.

There just isn’t much evidence that Trump knows Christ, let alone Christian culture and ceremony.

“Do not judge,” the Trump cultists will say. As they damn Cruz for quoting Scripture.

TDS has reached epidemic proporations. Meanwhile, a Cruz spokesperson
emphasizes that the Cruz Victory Bus getting stuck in the mud and needing
to be towed out is NOT an ominous sign:

It’s called “cognitive dissonance.” That’s when you’re faced with the truth that The Donald isn’t who he’s been saying he is. It’s difficult.

I pray you follow the facts.

Just a Southern mountains country guy’s idea of a humorous FR post. Seemed appropriate response but flew over your head. My bad. Going back to sleep now. And thanks for your kind religious retort.

On the contrary, it shows generosity.

Even when he screws-up it backfires on opponents.

And we also have Cruz going over the top with his, "AWAKEN THE BODY OF CHRIST!" yesterday.

It's not like Trump was trying to deliver a sermon at his rally, like Cruz.

I'll take a mistake of collection plate vs Communion plate. Clearly he wasn't looking at it before he reached into his pocket or he would've seen the bread on the tray.

This is a non issue.

Indeed. Which is why the swarms of Trump-hating zombies flock to any article or comment that attacks Trump, then they realize it hasn't hurt the man a bit, and they go crazy:

Nothingburger.....
.....you all are grasping at straws

I recently attended a church and during Communion they didn’t hand out baskets of bread ( like my church)

Instead they passed tiny Communion glasses of juice.....( where was the bread)
A tiny wafer was found in a separate glass underneath the juice glass....that was their way of doing it

Who knew?
I sure wouldn

After reading the article I can see how this could happen even to a regular church goer who found themselves in a strange church.

I don't think I have ever been in a church where communion is before the offering.

The church of my childhood had silver offering plates. Back in those days, I don't think too many churches had to worry that someone would take out instead of putting in. Times change.

Thats more how I am seeing it.

You are exactly 100% correct. It is lazy journalism, as usual.
Just an anonymous article from AP being picked-up by anyone.
Nobody to corroborate or validate the story. The mainstream media knows they can toss it out there.

[Pravious]

“And we also have Cruz going over the top with his, “AWAKEN THE BODY OF CHRIST!” yesterday.”

Either Cruz is a disgusting pandering POS (like every other politician out there), or some kind religious zealot who doesn’t deserve to be in office.

I’d bet on the former.

Well! He just lost my vote.

Is this a joke?

Not much room for sarcasm in only two words. Sorry if I misinterpreted it. I stated to post GIB (Google it b!tch) but that seem way to harsh. Paten is not a commonly used word, but is easy to find. If it's any consolation my reply was actually posted with a kind smile. :)

PS
Oh....and God bless you Mr. Trump for going to church on Sunday

[armydawg505]

Mainstream media and politicians are in full blown panic now over Trump. He must be winning???

[Delta 21]

Well,well. One of the Corinthians WAS there that night!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We practice communion (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

We celebrate the Lord's Supper each Sunday, as we find the New Testament Christians did. In partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, we remember our Lord's sacrifice for us, and we strengthen our relationship with Him.

That's sweet of you and warms me heart. Here's a friendly emoticon I'm returning to you:

Trump’s First Communion! It warrants a party and gifts.
