Thread 1 I've got some questions for fellow Jesus followers before you vote Republican on Tuesday. Maybe ask your pastor if he is a Trumpist. Followers of @BrianZahnd @BethMooreLPM @drmoore @JonathanMerritt @spulliam @rachelheldevans may want to comment.

2 Just exactly when did God REPEAL these Bible verses?

“Cursed is anyone who denies justice to foreigners, orphans, or widows.” Deuteronomy 27:19

3 “Do not oppress widows, orphans, foreigners, and the poor.” Zechariah 7:9-12

4 “Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.” 1 Peter 4: 7-10

5 “Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them.” Isaiah 58:6-11

6 “Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors. Quit your evil deeds! Do not mistreat foreigners, orphans, and widows.” Jeremiah 22:2-3

7 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.” Matthew 7:15

8 And ask yourself whether these words of warning sound like Donald Trump:
“People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents [unknown because Trump’s parents are dead], ungrateful, unholy, without love, (continued)

9unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Timothy 2-5

10 If you were to treat the caravan from Guatemala of homeless people who are risking their lives in the hope of a better, safer life in the U.S., what would you do? Would you send an army, with guns, to force them back into the dangerous places they just left?

11 Or would you show them love, mercy and grace, as taught by Christ? Before answering, you may want to consider Jesus' words In Matthew 7:2 "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

12 You know the verses weren't repealed. But they'e been ignored by wolves in sheep’s clothing who stopped preaching and teaching about the real Jesus and Christianity, in favor of gaining money, power and glory?
@Franklin_Graham @JerryFalwellJr I'm looking at you.

13/ Meanwhile, Trump is sending missiles to Saudi Arabia to kill children in a school bus in Yemen. bit.ly/2DkI531 & threatening refugees. Although I'm an American citizen, I don't want those things done by my country in my name. Do you?

14/ Final tweet of thread. If you believe these verses apply only to Israel and the Church, and therefore put no obligations on the American government, then please stop insisting that other Bible verses DO apply to government, or that America was founded as a Christian nation.
