“When I drink my little wine – which is about the only wine I drink – and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed,” he said. “I think in terms of ‘let’s go on and let’s make it right.’”
This is his way of asking for forgiveness. And he does it as often as possible.
That’s not how it works.
If you have an issue, gripe, malice, hate, whatever the situation with your brother, you cannot take communion until you seek out and settle things and forgiving him. Your demonstration of being forgiving is a demonstration of God’s forgiveness of sins. Has 45 forgiven those who have so-called wronged him? He still lashed out and lashes out at the press, former employees who turned on him, his former friends the Clinton’s, former president Obama, senator McCain, politicians, world leaders, and any and everybody who speaks out against him and his policies. Let’s be truthful, if he is taking communion without forgiving any of these persons then his communion is meaningless, it’s just an act of nothing.
FTR…communion does not save you. Confessing your sins, asking God for forgiveness(not through communion) and accepting Yeshua as Lord and Savior does.
Still does not settle the situation of him asking for forgiveness and you know it. What I stated is biblical so how I feel is irrelevant. If think this is the way of forgiveness of sins, then he’s in error and whoever led him down Romans Road of salvation should have and now need to explain this to him. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”, Hosea 4:6
I have already forgiven him a long time ago. However, it will not stop me from speaking out against his policies and the way he treats people.
Yeah, it’s not like Trump has had multiple affairs, paid off porn stars, said creepy stuff about his daughter or grabbed women by the ■■■■■ or anything.
