As he tries to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, President Donald Trump said it is for greater reasons than merely Nobel Peace Prize nominations: He is hoping it helps him "get to heaven."

"If I can save 7,000 people per week from being killed – I want to get to heaven, if possible; I'm hearing I'm not doing well," Trump said in a televised phone interview Tuesday morning. "If I can get to heaven, this will be a reason."

Works should follow faith…
Works alone will not get you there unless you believe in God sending his Son!!

He should buy a few blessings from his "faith advisor" woman.

Accepting Jesus will get him to heaven. A side benefit to accepting Jesus is receiving the Grace to save 7000 people a week.

Sounds like he's not saved, if he truly believes what he said.

Jesus also said, "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment." (Jn 7:24)

We can't judge souls of others, but we can tell a tree by its fruit.

If Trump is saying he wants to save lives as the basis of his justification/salvation, then he is not trusting in Christ's atoning work on the cross alone for his salvation, and as the Bible tells us, he is not currently saved.

Yeah... For some reason, no one ever actually quotes that part in full, so here ya go:

"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"


So, it's pretty much telling the Dems and the anti-Trump lawfare crew that they're about to be on the receiving end of what they began.

The idea that no one should judge anything is an errant interpretation based upon the omission of the remainder of the verses found in Matthew.

1 Cor 6:2 tells us that we should indeed judge and exercise discernment:
"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?"

Don't be one of those who only give half a quote in order to make an unfounded point.
