Didaché - Donald Trump Accepts Comparison to Jesus? Why It’s Kinda Hard To Blame Him.

In a compelling episode of Didaché, Justin Peters discusses the concerning phenomenon of Donald Trump accepting comparisons to Jesus Christ, sparked by social media interactions and commentary from his supporters.

Peters delves into the implications of such comparisons, emphasizing Trump’s non-Christian status based on his own admission of never seeking God’s forgiveness and critiquing the evangelical leaders who endorse this blasphemous parallel. He points to the influence of Word of Faith and New Apostolic Reformation leaders, like Kenneth Copeland and Paula White, who have historically surrounded Trump, providing him with a skewed understanding of biblical teachings and his spiritual state.

Justin urges caution and discernment within the Christian community. He advocates returning to biblical truths and rejecting the prosperity gospel that has led to misguided beliefs.

About the Podcast

Didaché
Didaché is dedicated to deepening our love for God through deepening our knowledge of God.
Didaché is the Greek word for teaching or doctrine. All Christians profess to love Jesus but few seem to have a passion for doctrine and theology. The Didaché podcast is dedicated to teaching sound doctrine and theology for it is by this that our knowledge of God is deepened which, in turn, enables our love for God to be deepened. The Bible says, "And this I pray, that your love would abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment" (Philippians 1:9).

This podcast will discuss doctrine, theology, hermeneutics, and how to apply all of these disciplines so that we can live lives obedient to God's word and for His glory. We will see how, far from being boring, there is nothing more exciting and practical for the Christian than to both know and apply sound doctrine. Most of the programs will simply be straight teaching from Justin but from time to time he will also interview special guests on the program, deal with current theological issues as they arise, and will dedicate some time to answering your questions that you send in. This podcast will not have all of the bells and whistles of some of the others, but what it lacks in sound effects we trust will be made up in content.

Justin Peters is a full-time itinerant preacher dedicated to expository preaching and biblically engaging many of the prevalent false doctrines that seek to "deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting" (Romans 16:17).
