Pretty sure the bible says the Antichrist will have a wound on his head that will then heal...

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Yeah he's been kicking off those check boxes for like 10 years now.

I came here looking for this comment. Thank you.

It’s supposed to be a fatal wound on one of its heads.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

As far as I've heard he was only hit on one of his heads. Did I miss the news about Trump getting shot in the dick?

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

One of the Antichrist’s heads. Lol

I think my interpretation is more fun!

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I agree!

I'm no biblical scholar... but is it possible "head" could be translated as "face"? Two-faced could be an apt description...

That's the Stormy Daniels settlement

The freaks in Facebook are saying that God made him turn his head at just the right moment to make the bullet hit his ear instead of 'brain.'

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I wonder if his vacuous cavity was punctured if there would be an audible popping noise.

[-] retrospectology@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

I guess the bystander who got hit in the head wasn't.

At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if Trump became the next actual Jesus of Christianity in a few hundred years.

They certainly don't give a shit about OG Jesus anymore, he has a bunch of stupid rules that new OJ Jesus would never endorse

According to the Bible’s teachings, the Holy Trinity is one being. He should probably read it before making his next sign.

The Holy Spirit:

Am I a joke to you?

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I can't wait for the New New Testament Deluxe Patriot's Edition (MSRP $99.99) to be written and include The Gospel According to Trump. That peace, love, and Jesus stuff is just so first millennia; they really need to shake things up.

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Damn. The Holy Spirit got bumped for tRump.

[-] Delusional@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Well religious people aren't really known for their critical thinking.

It'd be great if you couldn't vote if you were religious. Seeing as how separation of church and state don't mean anything any longer, just have them not able to vote at all!
