Trump additionally charged that he is capable of winning the Evangelical vote despite concerns over the sincerity of his faith in public.

In addition, Wilson pleads with candidates to question Trump’s alleged connections to the mob as well as repeated instances where the real estate mogul’s companies have folded into bankruptcy. A few weeks ago, he was asked to list one or two of his favorite verses after calling the Bible his favorite book.

In an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody, Trump admitted his antics may be a bit over the top, but does have a “great temperament”.

About Trump’s decision not to attend, FRC president Tony Perkins told the Christian Post, “I think that is going to send a message to Evangelicals and values voters that he wants their support, but he is not really interested in having a conversation with them”.

“When somebody hits you hard you can hit a little less hard at the same time?” he asked. “You’ll see it again”. “Proverbs, the chapter ‘never bend to envy.’ I’ve had that thing all of my life where people are bending to envy”.

For Trump, the Bible is “special”, like a “great movie”. “The Bible is the most special thing”. I have to admit I’m disappointed in the lack of exegesis on CBN, because, Bible aside, it surely would be interesting to know more about how Trump’s brain processes envy.

It also wasn’t clear which verse the Republican front-runner was talking about: A search of several of the most-used standard versions of the Bible did not turn up any verse or chapter that urges people not to “bend to envy”.

After receiving criticism for refusing to cite his favorite Bible verse, 2016 presidential hopeful Donald Trump recently stated that he appreciates the Bible’s Book of Proverbs, and he compared the Holy Book to an “incredible movie”. “But I will try to tone it down”. “I believe in the Bible, I believe in God and I think I will help them so much with this country”.
