I see a lot of instances where Christians are somehow offended by Trump's past or the way he acts, or that his policies aren't socially 100% perfectly in line with Christian values and therefore feel like they can't vote for him even if the alternative is pure evil. It's crazy, it's as if these people truly believe that unless the person is Jesus Christ Himself they can't in good conscience vote for them.
Can you go into more detail, specifically regarding deliverance? Not being snarky, I am interested and need more depth on the subject matter. Thanks, pede.
There are a lot of churches that don't encourage regular Bible reading. Of those that do, there are even fewer that really train their members how to study the Bible well.
"Never read a Bible verse" should be well known and followed. We need to understand context both of the verses and chapters near the verse in question and within the context of how the Bible speaks about the same concepts in other books.
A lot of bad theology could be cleared up simply by simple reading comprehension.

Chapters and verses were added to the bible 500 years ago. 30 years prior to the reformation. For 1500 years their was only the text. Then we divided the bible and the church.
If you look at all the different Christian denominations that have arisen in that time period, you will find that every one of them has a set doctrine with a list of verses taken out of context to defend that doctrine against other churches and their doctrines with their verses also taken out of context.
Some Christians get very upset at pointing out this heretical detail. Even more than trying to talk about the gifts of the spirit.
A lot of bad theology would be cleared up by reading the Bible without the unnecessary chapters and verses. Yet it's an uphill battle to even have this conversation with 99% of professed Christians.
My grandmother is this way. She's a devout Christian who liked Bush but didn't like Obama and could NOT vote for Trump because "of the way he talks to people."
I asked her, "What's better, someone who has 70% of your conservative beliefs, who might be "mean" or someone who is pure evil who stands for NOTHING conservative or Christian?"
Our other option here is the pedo friendly Democrats who are endorsing the freaking Church of Satan and their Satanic Ritual Abortion on Reddit and who pretty much want to kill us off one way or the other.
So... yeah. I'll take an imperfect person trying to do good over those who glorify evil any day.

I voted for Trump for President, not Pope.
And Jesus himself wouldn't be good enough for some people. I remember clearly one person in church objecting, "MY God wouldn't call people names!"
