    Trump energizes conservative Christians with new religious policies

    In his first half-year in office -- amid his tariff campaign, government-slashing moves and immigration crackdown -- President
    Donald Trump has also repeatedly delivered for conservative
    Christians, who form the bedrock of his Republican support.

    What is an example of a misnomer?

    conservative Christians


    Paul highlights four ways we can get deceived as Christians:

    1) assuming everyone speaking positively about Jesus is from God;

    2) paying primary attention to the experience from the messenger;

    3) accept spiritual justifications for financial greed; and

    4) follow leaders who want to run the lives of those they're leading.

    A Christian is a Christian...Jesus would not approve of a
    "conservative" Christian.

    "All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholics. A Christian refers to a follower of Jesus Christ who may be a Catholic, Protestant, Gnostic, Mormon, Evangelical, Anglican or Orthodox, or
    follower of another branch of the religion"

    Conservative Christians believe that the Bible was written by humans
    who were inspired by God. They still follow its teachings but don't
    necessarily take every word as being the voice of God. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zxcrpbk/revision/2
