A boy stands up to cheer for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as he delivers the convocation at the Vines Center on the campus of Liberty University Jan. 18 in Lynchburg, Virginia. A billionaire real estate mogul and reality television personality, Trump addressed students and guests at the non-profit, private Christian university that was founded in 1971 by Evangelical Southern Baptist televangelist Jerry Falwell.

Polls show that Donald Trump is getting the support of evangelical voters even though itap obvious he has very little familiarity with the Bible or the teachings of Christ. In a speech at Liberty University, he cited scripture from a book in the Bible he referred to as Two Corinthians, rather than Second Corinthians. Really?
I’m confused — exactly what Christian values does he exhibit? His pandering and hypocrisy should be an affront to all true Christians.
Perhaps Trump should read the Sermon on the Mount. It might enlighten him as to what a Christian is supposed to be.
