Anyone can be a Christian. All you've got to do is accept Christ and make an effort to love other people. Thats the nutshell. You can break it down (and most churches do) to don't kill people, don't lie to people, don't steal from people, etc. 

You don't even have to be perfect in it. You can screw up. It's ok. But the key part is you have to try.

The notion that you can be a Christian just by calling yourself one is absurd without any effort to actually follow through. 

Trump in a nutshell has been: 'im a Christian, you horse faced idiot. You're a loser if you don't cheat on your taxes. And your wives. Now go punch someone, or else you're a loser. And you're probly out to get me because you're a loser.'

It doesn't matter if you sin. We all do. What matters is that you're making an effort not to. Given that trump does the same multiple sins on a daily basis for the last..ever... I don't see him as a Christian. And not because it's the same sin, but because he never tried to make amends, never shows any repentance. Remorse over our mistakes is part of absolution. Trump shows none. 

And comparing him to Christ is revolting.

"He" quoted exactly what you said. Now you can use your mod powers and go back and change what you said, you can continue this "I didn't say it", or you can admit what you said and restate your position. But do not try to paint me as the one making shit up. 

You have no idea what effort anyone else puts forth in attempts to "actually follow through" being a Christian. But apparently you feel you are entitled to judge it.

I agree comparing him to Christ is revolting; as is lying. 

I have continued with this discourse because it is extremely important; especially to the non-believer that may be reading. 

But let's put an end to all your back pedaling: Is it a Christian's responsibility to judge if another professed Christian is "really" a Christian or not?
