'It's not a
particularly nice thing, but you know when you look at what's happening to our
country . . . We have to be very firm.'
In an interview 2 days ago
with a local New York radio host, Bob Lonsberry, on WHAM 1180AM, Donald Trump
said his favorite Bible verse is the Old
Testament Passage which says one can take “an eye for an eye.”
In response to
Lonsberry’s question about which verse in the Bible is his favorite, Trump
initially responded “so many,” then followed it up by saying that “an eye for
an eye” is a good verse for Americans to follow, even if it is, by his own
admission, a little mean.
“Well, I think many,”
Trump said. “You know when we get into the Bible I think many, so many. And ‘an
eye for an eye,’ you can almost say that. It’s not a particularly nice thing,
but you know when you look at what’s happening to our country, I mean, you see
what’s going on with our country how people are taking advantage of us and how
they scoff at us and laugh at us an laugh in our face and they’re taking our
jobs, they’re taking our money, they’re taking our — you know, they’re taking
the health of our country. And we have to be very firm and we have to be very
strong and we can learn a lot from the Bible, that I can tell you.”
The phrase “an eye for an eye” appears elsewhere in the
Bible, too. In Matthew 5.38, Jesus
tells his disciples that instead of seeking revenge by taking “an eye for an
eye” they should “turn the other
cheek.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has given an interesting
answer when asked about his faith. Last September, when Trump was asked “who is
God to you?” he responded by talking about his business deals.
Earlier this year, Trump cited a verse
from “two Corinthians.” The unconventional wording — although not entirely incorrect — caused some to question the
seriousness of his faith.
In July, Trump was
asked if he had ever asked God for forgiveness. In response, Trump described
taking communion.
