Almost everybody has had their say
on the US elections. I also have shared my thoughts with a couple of people and
to say the least I have been blamed for not being blessed by the Holy Spirit. I
am not a political person and I definitely would not be impacted a lot by who became
the President of the USA. But, I also need to voice a few thoughts because for
the first time I have realized that many will actually be adversely impacted by
who eventually became the president of USA. Trump, no doubt snatched victory
and I am sure he really worked hard for it. And from his point of view, he
deserved to win for just the amazing emotions that he was able to generate
among quite a number of people. And I have no qualms about those who went and
voted for him by considering carefully where their hearts belonged. There is no
doubt that Hillary did not appeal to many and carried quite a baggage for many
to surmount.
But, I was bothered about a group
of people who really came to canvas for Trump just when things were fading for
him in the last month. Yes, as analysis has now revealed that in the last
month, the single largest group that made his victory possible by voting for
him was the Catholics. I am not a man of statistics and numbers. And the one
major reason, which I actually found out from some of our friends, who vehemently
canvassed for Trump was that he would be the one delivering on the “Pro-Life”
issue.
I don’t grudge their cause. My wife
and I lost our first pregnancy the very day we knew we were pregnant. And the
mighty healing hand of GOD is how we healed and we now have 2 beautiful kids,
since. That should reveal how precious and delicate I consider life to be. Here
is where I like to challenge each one of those who canvassed in the name of GOD
and religion. Not those who exercised their franchise, but the ones who
actively canvassed, including the so many priests who could say it at the altar
where instead they should have been consecrating Jesus. My friends showed me
all literature as well as biblical prophecies as to why they made their
decision to support him wholeheartedly. They even found abundant words to make
Trump look honorable in every aspect, even insulting Pope Francis, who by the
way currently occupies the seat that Jesus bestowed upon Peter. Some even
forgave him and equated him to Mary Magdalene who became Jesus’ most reliable
confidante, even though she was a sinner. Little did they take into account
that Mary Magdalene washed away her sins at the feet of Jesus.
Here is where they were wrong. For
one, they did not remember “ Do not take the name of the GOD in vain”. It’s the
first of the Ten Commandments. Where was it GOD’s work, when you take GOD’s own
cause and give the reigns to a Devil? Have we forgotten what happened to Adam
and Eve in the book of Genesis. Yes, they ate an apple. And by the way, it must
have been an amazing fruit because Eve even got it to Adam after she tasted it.
The problem was not the fruit that they ate but the fact that they had
disobeyed GOD inspite of HIM having given them everything. And that was the
beginning of the “Original Sin”. This is exactly why there are problems in this
world. And it has plagued the Catholic church too from time immemorial. Why Mr.
Trump does not even come close to Mary Magdalene is because he has never
repented for anything. And that is the main tenet to get to God’s kingdom of
heaven. To humbly and modestly accept one’s frailties and sins and put them at
the feet of Jesus, because HE no doubt will forgive.
I am so much more looking forward to
Mr. Trump being a servant and being the repentant sinner. For there is no doubt
that just like Jesus does, I shall accept his being human too.
