Trumpism and Inerrancy??

[gadfly]

It doesn't seem like this subforum is used much, based on the dates of more recent activity.

I want to explore a possible relationship between Trumpism (and Trumpists) and the theory of biblical inerrancy. Has the latter paved the way for the former?

Inerrancy maintains that every indicative in the bible is true and at face value. So if the bible says the world was created in six days, then it was. If science tells us it is not, then true faith consists in siding with the bible no matter the evidence against it. Indeed, the more wrong the bible appears to be, the greater value is our faith by doubling, tripling, quadrupling, down.

We see a similar pattern in the ranks of trumpists--the more insane trump appears to be, the dumber the things he says (stop hurricanes with nuclear missiles) the more fervent trumpsters become in their near religious loyalty to the man.

Is there a logical (or historical) relation?

I strongly suspect that it has, especially since evangelical pundits have been comparing him to Cyrus and Moses. It's even raised concerns among their fellows:

Scientific theories: Nothing created everything. Hmmm!
Okay, let's say there was that one thing that began the creation. And over the past 15 billion years, it went from that one single thing to the complexity of the earth, of man and everything in it, all things working together to sustain life, and the solar system. The odds calculated by mathematicians to accomplish all that are 40 to the 80,000 power. Believe that, and I'll sell you the Statue of Liberty for $100.00.

The difference between Republicans and Democrats at a rate of 8 to 10, Republicans believe in God, and Democrats are atheists, homosexuals, or homosexual lovers, socialists, and loud-mouth women. They represent ignorance and corruption, Lawyers gone wild, and throw in a whole truckload of liars. Democrats claim men are not men, women are not women, Morons!

Cyrus, King of the Persian Empire, was prophesied by Isaiah 100 years before his birth, and was said to be a shepherd unto the LORD. Moses was a leader of men, a man guided by the word of God. Both were successful, accomplishing the will of God. As for Donald Trump, time will tell if he is also a shepherd of the LORD, a person chosen to lead the last Christian nation, America, through these last days. The LORD will use whomever he chooses in order to accomplish his will, and Donald Trump may be the "Last Trump" of Revelation.

I believe Joe Biden was put into the office in 2020 with his declining mental condition as President to rid the Democrats four-years later of all power in the House, Senate, and Presidency. I don't know if Donald Trump is a true Christian or not, that's not in my hands, but whatever he is, he has been selected by the American people and the LORD to bring us through these last few years to the front door of the Great Tribulation.

That's my take.

Makes no difference who wrote the book; all the prophecies came to pass.

Unless the "fulfillments" were written by later authors. Hindsight is 20/20.

Once I offered my body to science, they rejected it and told me to donate it to science fiction. I'm too old to do anything but debate with people like you. My service began in 1957 and ended in 1962. Now I'm old, nobody wants 87-year-old people around.

You're never too old to have something to say.
