“He did not hate his opponents, he wanted the best for them, That’s where I disagree with Charlie. I hate my opponents and I don’t want what’s best for them. I’m sorry, I am sorry Erika.”
Hopefully the Lord will give someone close to him the strength to speak to him about this and explain why Mrs. Kirk can forgive the shooter. Mr. Trump recently said that he hopes that he can go to heaven. The opportunity is there right now for someone to walk him through his error of hate and show him how grace is the proper response.
We aren't wrestling against flesh and blood no matter how many of the speakers seemed to think that we are.
The church is tasked with leading the lost out of darkness. Ugly personal attacks is not the way to accomplish that goal. We are to make disciples. Pretty hard to do with someone who you see yourself at war with.
I
don’t agree with the President’s wording of “I hate my opponents and don’t want the best for them.” I also believe that
“loving your enemies” is something Jesus commanded on a
personal level, not on a
governmental level. The government has been given to us to
punish wrong doers and that is part of President Trump’s responsibilities as the head of government. The apostle Paul made it clear,
“If then I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death” (Acts 25:11). Again, in Romans 13 Paul made it clear that those in authority (such as President Trump) are to
“carry out wrath on the wrongdoer” and for those that do wrong should
“be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain.”
In Revelation 18:20 the martyrs of the Tribulation period were told to
“rejoice” not over their enemies going to hell but because righteousness and justice has been served.
Psa 96:11 Let the heavens
rejoice, and let the earth
be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
Psa 96:12 Let the field
be joyful, and all that
is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood
rejoice
Psa 96:13 Before the LORD:
for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
“When a murderer is brought to justice, good people rejoice. Justice is sweet to the upright in heart. We are informed that the whole creation rejoices because God is going to judge the world with righteousness and truth. This is what Paul preached in Acts 17:30, 31, and what we must preach if we want the world to be saved.”

You constantly come on this forum lambasting Christians who engage with the culture around us, implying that anyone like Charley Kirk who personally interacted with college students across the nation, speaking out on moral and political issues are compromising the gospel. The idea that a Christian has no right to endorse someone for President whom they believe would be best for the country, trying to explain to the younger generation that has been brainwashed by a corrupt educational system about the dangers of Marxism, Transgenderism and other godless ideologies is
your problem, not that of scripture. If you believe a Christian should have nothing to do with politics then quit posting on political subjects.
