The sitting President of the United States is now a convicted felon. What does that mean for our nation’s future—and its soul?
#TrumpConvicted #PresidentialCrisis #christianforums #crosswalkforums #forums #crosswalk #faithcommunity #faithforums

In an unprecedented moment in American history, President Donald J. Trump—while serving in office—has been convicted on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records tied to a hush money scandal. Legal appeals are already underway, but the verdict stands.

Some Americans see this as accountability finally catching up. Others believe it’s a politically driven prosecution meant to delegitimize a sitting president. Either way, we are living through a constitutional and moral stress test—one that asks not just “What now?” but “Who are we becoming?”

Is this a breaking point in public trust, or just the latest fracture in an already divided republic? And how do believers respond when the leader of the free world is both head of state and convicted criminal?

“Sometimes it’s not just the man on trial—it’s the nation watching him.”

Unless you’re Donald Trump – convicted of 34 (financial) felonies and he is not only free but the head of his (lawless) executive branch.

3

The 34 felonies were fake, cooked up by a weaponized justice system that was trying to take him down. I’m pleased he was elected president. He’s trying to reduce our national debt by eliminating wasteful government spending.

:joy: Of course! How stupid of me! The entire US legal system is corrupt! DJT didn’t have sex with a porn star and try to hide it as a business expense; it was all made up.

HE IS A CRIMINAL!!! It is tragic that you believe him. BTW, how much are you being paid to be his apologist?

5

Hopefully the entire US legal system isn’t corrupt. Donald is getting rid of some of the corrupt ones.

6

He himself is corrupt! Among other things he hss been convicted of 34(!) felonies.

7

The 34 “felonies” were brought about by a weaponized justice system. I believe the woman responsible has been charged with falsely filling out bank documents.

Yeah, sure. It’s a “weaponized justice system” because the outcome isn’t to your liking. It’s a lame excuse. If Trump was declared innocent then you wouldn’t say it’s “weaponized”.

Why can’t you and other people accept the fact that Trump is corrupt? He had sex with a prostitute, paid her BIG money to keep quiet during the campaign, then buried the fact in his business records. He was declared guilty on ALL counts in a legitimate court of law! (It is the same system that has found others to be guilty. Why wasn’t anything said then?)

When Trump used the same New York system to sue people, why wasn’t it corrupt then???

It’s sad that people have been blinded by Trump’s dictator charisma and are unable to accept reality. HE IS A CRIMINAL and should not be in the Oval Office.

It is very frightening that so many people have been brainwashed! Trump has mastered the art of deception by lying and exaggeration to seduce many people. The world has seen this before with Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and others AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN IN THE UNITED STATES.

Explain this:

Donald Trump was president and had the authority to declassify documents, but they tried to throw him in prison for possessing such documents. Meanwhile, Joe Biden took classified documents and stored them in his garage before becoming president, but was never prosecuted, and Mike Pence, who never was president, was caught with classified documents, but he wasn’t prosecuted.

I voted for a President not a pastor. There were only two choices, Trump or Harris. The decision was easy. I don’t know how you can vote for a Democrat and call yourself a Christian on the abortion issue alone.
God hates the shedding of innocent blood.

Whom you vote for is your decision but…

The guy you voted for has been convicted of 34 felonies, has been convicted of sexual abuse, is a proven adulterer, a proven racist, is harming many people by turning the operation of the government to an immigrant who didn’t receive a single vote, etc, etc, etc.

Did you know that the decision was recently made to let a fetus die rather than remove it alive from its dead mother? Do you approve of a child who has been raped being forced to have the baby? Do you approve of a baby being delivered that will die a painful death within minutes of its birth because of a defective vital organ?

God hates the shedding of innocent blood? Do you think God approves of the deportation of people to a violent prison without giving them the right of habeas corpus? Do you approve of the rebirth of racism? The denigration of the people who gave their lives to protect our nation based on the color of their skin?

Trump is evil, and you voted for an evil man.

I am a Democrat and → I vote for the person who best carries out my Christian values ←

The 34 felony convictions were part of an unprecedented exercise in law fare to keep him from running for President. Obviously it didn’t work as he was elected in a landslide. As far as his many sins of infidelity and unbecoming behavior, there is no defense. Kamala had a reputation of sleeping her way to the top. See Willie Brown. She also was a DEI vice president as Biden said himself that he was going to choose a black female for vice President.
I guess I would say “he who is without sin, cast the first stone”.
Electing Harris would have continued the Biden disaster of open borders. Inflation, transgenderism, unfettered abortion until birth, and on and on. When asked, she couldn’t think of any thing she would have done differently.
As far as the abortion issue, your example of rape accounts for much less than 1% of all the million to a million and half abortion per year in the US. If we said that is an exception and health of the mother, would you be ok with making the rest of them illegal? In any case the child from rape is still innocent and did nothing wrong and doesn’t deserve to die. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
I believe the Democrat party has gone so far to the left that it has become evil and demonic. I urge you to reconsider your participation.

Are you joking??? How can you expect anyone to accept what you wrote?

=> Donald Trump was convicted in New York court of 34 felonies <= That is the way the American system of justice works. You may not like the outcome, but that is irrelevant. And that has nothing to do with his running for President or not. (And he was NOT elected in a landslide. He received 49.8% of the popular vote, i.e., LESS than half.) And your comment about Kamala “sleeping her way to the top” is disgusting sexist garbage.

The rest of your post is likewise total nonsense; it is nothing but propaganda. YOU ARE FOOLING NOONE.

There is something extremely troubling about those people who have decided thta Donald Trump’s convictions for 34 separate felonies in a court of law by a jury are somehow invalid. That it is the fault of the legal system! => THIS IS THE MARK OF A DICTATORSHIP <=

People are so seduced by the charisma of a criminal (who was also convicted of sexual abuse) that they disregard the legitimacy of the established legal process. The American system of justice is among the best in the wolrd. The evidence was presented by the attornnies, a jury of 12 citizens heard the arguements, and decided that falsely hiding the payments to a prostitute as legitimate business expenses was illegal (never mind its immorality). That is the way the American system works. If people don’t like tha
e outcome, THAT IS IRRELEVANT. Both sides presneted their evidence of guilt or innocence of the crime, and TRUMP WAS FOUND GUILTY OF EVERY SINGLE CHARGE.

To think otherwise is to chose the individual over the legal system. THAT IS THE END OF DEMOCRACY AND THE BEGINNING OF IDOLATROUS WORSHIP OF A DICTATOR. IF THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS ACCEPTED WE ARE NO BETTER THAN NAZI GERMANY, SOVIET RUSSIA, CHILE, AND OTHER COUNTRIES THAT HAVE SUFFERED UNIMAGNIABLE HARM.

IS THAT WHAT PEOPLE WANT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? IS THAT WHAT => GOD ,= WANTS FOR THIS NATION???

“ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL” OR “DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES”?

Ok thanks. I would hope, as a Christian, that it would give you pause to support a party that couldn’t even vote to support giving aid to a baby that is, inconveniently, born alive after an abortion. Your party believes it ok to murder a baby up until birth. That is demonic.
I’m done with this conversation. It’s going nowhere.

Correct @Bobbyq

Pontius Politicus: The Church Split by a Vote”
In the pews they sit, but Twitter’s their creed,
Trading Christ’s blood for a party’s feed.
They quote red letters, but live red and blue,
Forget the Cross — “what would my senator do?”

“A house divided cannot stand,” said the Lord (Matt_12:25),
But we’d rather be right than in one accord.
Titus 3:9 warns, “Avoid foolish debates,”
But saints still argue like Sunday school’s Fox vs. Slate.

“Render to Caesar,” they scream with a grin (Matt_22:21),
But forget they were bought — not with votes, but from sin (1_Pet_1:18–19).
If Paul called out factions in Corinth’s pride (1_Cor_1:10–13),
What makes us think Christ picks a side?

“Blessed are the peacemakers,” Jesus said bold (Matt_5:9),
But we break fellowship over who we behold.
Ephesians 4:3 pleads: “maintain unity in peace,”
Yet we cancel each other when Twitter wars increase.

You wave your flags, I’ll hold up the Cross,
Your ballot may win, but your soul might get lost.
If Christ is the vine and we are the branches (John_15:5),
Then why are we fighting like rival franchises?

So build a bridge — not of rhetoric, but grace,
With truth and love meeting face to face.
Colossians 3:14 ties it up so neat:
“Put on love” — yeah, that’s the real tweet.

Because heaven’s not checking your party card,
But your name in the Book — now that’s the hard part (Rev_20:15).
So stop crucifying Christ for your campaign,
And let the Lamb, not the donkey or elephant, reign.

Johann.

Johan, back at 'cha (I loved the poem, BTW. Thanx for sharing)

Rooted in Truth (from Ps 1)

Like a raging storm, destructive counsel
tears the landscape of humanity;
a tornado of lies strips-tosses nonsense
from media in torrents of insanity.

Derision and scorn ,like remnant detritus,
litter what’s left of our Eden.
Brother fights brother, daughter hates mother,
fueled by what each is heeding.

But strong is the man who trades not in such counsel,
nor shares in the way of destruction;
refusing to sit where the scornful take rest;
rooted ‘gainst tempest’s abduction.

His sole delight is the law of the LORD,
and in it he dwells day and night.
Like a tree firmly planted by nourishing water
he bears fruit that is true and aright.

No green leaf shall wither; no twig shall soon snap,
he is known by the way he has prospered.
Against every storm, and foe that assails,
his branches point constantly heavenward.

34 felonies for allegedly having an affair and not wanting his wife to find out?

20

No. That is not the case at all. Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies for paying a prostitute to keep quiet about their times together AND HIDING THE PAYMENTS TO HER BY DECLARING THEM AS BUSINESS EXPENSES. I thought that almost everyone knew that. He was also convicted of sexual abuse of a woman, a separate crime.

THAT IS THE CHARACTER OF THE MAN WHO OCCUPIES THE OVAL OFFICE AND CLAIMS TO BE A CHRISTIAN.

21

If Joe Biden would have done that, it wouldn’t even have been in the newspaper.
