Donald Trump recently showed up at a gathering of Iowa conservative Christian voters with a copy of the Bible in hand.

"See, I'm better than you thought," he said. Then came a black-and-white photograph from his confirmation to further prove his Christian cred.

"Nobody believes this," he said to laughs. "What went wrong?"

As the Republican presidential front-runner and billionaire businessman tries to maintain his lead in early polls with rivals gaining, Trump is increasingly courting a wing of the Republican Party that might seem antithetical to his brand: evangelical Christians....

John F Kennedy also. (For those who don’t know, he was married before Jackie. His daddy paid off the Catholioc church and got the marriage “annulled” .)

I’m not electing a pastor of a church

I wish we were electing a pastor of a church where the pastor and the church are truly anointed by the Holy Spirit of God.

Rubio’s family was Roman Catholic, though from age 8 to age 11, he and his family attended The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while living in Las Vegas,[8] where his father worked as a bartender at Sam’s Town Hotel and his mother a housekeeper at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino.[9] He received his first communion as a Catholic in 1984, before moving back to Miami with his family a year later. He was confirmed and married in the Catholic Church.[10][11]

I keep praying God will have mercy on us and that He will choose a Christian filled with the Holy Spirit for our next POTUS. I pray our next POTUS eyes and ears are opened to hear Him and respect Him. I pray that the next Christian POTUS will have a great influence, inspired by God, on Americans and countries around the world,(especially Israel).

I pray that Trump, whether he becomes POTUS or not, will become a mighty Christian Warrior.

I was too young to remember at the time, but didn’t Jimmy Carter run on the Bible & proclaimed his Southern Baptist faith? Look how that turned out.

I would rather Trump, or any candidate, be honest about his religious beliefs than to pretend to be something he’s not.

I too want a POTUS to speak with honesty like most here.

“That’s odd. I always thought polygamy was a Mormon or Muslim thing.”

Maybe he’s Eastern Orthodox - after all they “permit divorced individuals to marry a second and even a third time.”
