I'm sorry if you find a "Biblical View" so dangerous.

If Trump was as evil as you continually portray, shouldn't he be selecting those for his cabinet who are not "principled" in any way.
Who said anything about principles? Low-lifes Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker, and Jimmy Swaggart have "Biblical perspectives."

From what I read, Whitaker was a paid advisory board member for World Patent Marketing a company with a history of fraud, deceiving customers and suppressing complaints about them using threats, intimidation, and gag clauses. When frustrated consumers tried to get their money back, it was Whitaker's job to threaten them as a former federal prosecutor. Sounds like Trump's kinda guy.

Whitaker obviously got the job cuz he wrote an opinion column for CNN titled "Mueller's Investigation of Trump is Going Too Far." He stated that Mueller's investigation is a “lynch mob”, that it should be limited and should not probe into Trump's finances. Clearly he was courting Trump for the job and his opinion was music to Trump's ears. If you had a law degree it could have been you.

Pathological liar Trump has already gone from saying on Fox & Friends "I can tell you Matt Whitaker’s a great guy. I mean, I know Matt Whitaker" to repeatedly denying that he knows him yesterday. Even racist Jeff Sessions was too principled for Trump so he had to put in subservient loyalist attack dog.

Pathetic, sickening, dishonest, spiteful zeek at his best spewing venom on every Christian he knows.

This is getting too personal and too chippy....even for Alt Views. Tone it down or I'll put a password back on this sub forum. I know most of you fellows and I bet you wouldn't be so personal and aggressive face to face. I understand that these are pretty explosive things you're getting in to, but I think some of the dialogue is getting too heated, too personal and just downright mean-spirited.

Take a break if you must. Change the subject if you must.

Your brother who is (trying desperately to be) unto Him.

Just like Trump, you resort to ad hominem attacks because you can't refute the facts.

TRUMP WILL START THE END OF THE WORLD, CLAIM EVANGELICALS WHO SUPPORT HIM

“What kick-starts the end times into motion is Israel’s political boundaries being reestablished to what God promised the Israelites according to the Bible,”

I read through the entire article and couldn't find a single quote that supports the provocative title. Can you identify the quote they are referring to where Evangelicals claim Trump will start the end of the world?

Well it is Newsweek. I thought it was a good article. And of course Trump isn't ringing in the end of days. Christians that believe that are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Glad to see you're not one of them.

The quotes seemed to be from reputable people and the journalist also appeared reputable. I am wondering if the editorial dept made the title, which if I was the journalist I would be very upset about since it makes her look like she works for the National Enquirer.
