Hard to know where to start with this.
[b]In any event, and whether anyone likes it or not, Donald Trump's authority comes from one, it's high time folks get over it.

You ask a nonsensical question and make nonsensical statements and then refuse to clarify with the excuse that I haven't answered your question. Perhaps on some level you understand that your position is poorly thought out and play this game in order to avoid having to defend it.
You've claimed that you're not a Trump apologist and yet you keep acting like one. Take this very thread for example. I only cited Trump as an example to help apathist understand the larger point I was making. You ignored the larger point and all the other points I was making and have shown that you're only interested in acting as an apologist for Trump.
Quite frankly, it doesn't seem like you understand very much about Trump or the teachings of Jesus.
Perhaps if you read this article, you can begin to educate yourself. Following is a short excerpt and the link:
10 reasons you can’t be a Christian and vote for Donald Trump
...we offer an appeal to our fellow Christians — or anyone concerned with the potential moral consequences of a Trump presidency — to prayerfully consider how supporting him squares with Christian commitment.

The church that I have worship at does one old testament a day one New Testament a day with a psalm or a proverb. A two year cycle.
There are 31,103 verses in the Bible. So reading three a day champ they're wise is like 78 something verses. Doing one chapter a day is about 26 something versus so reading one chapter a day for a Christian that should have no excuse to not read it. I do 1 a day and if I miss and day I listen to the chapter and then read the next one.

I stay in is Proverbs, that one I read whatever Proverbs it is that matches the date so on
the 12th I read the 12 Proverb.
Ah so Apathist chimes in with another gem - "Most Christians do not read the Bible".
His statistics no doubt are carefully conducted.
So does this mean we should all seek to be like the average Christian or seek to be like the normal Christian ?
I wonder if this will be a handy excuse on the day apathist comes before God in the last judgment. God reviews his entire life and the secrets of his life seeking if possible to remove the stain of his sins from him.
And apathist responds instead of trust in the redemption of Christ, with -
"Well, you see, most Christians do not read the Bible."
That excuse for the need for eternal redemption will go over like a pregnant pole vaulter.
Let's pray for apathist that he has an ambition not to follow his carefully recorded statistics on what most Christians do not do, and he seeks to be a normal Christian.
