Trump, Citing ‘Two Corinthians,’ Promises To ‘Protect Christianity’
“… we’re just going to clean the table, we’re going to go through New Hampshire, through South Carolina where we were this weekend and it was amazing. We’re going to go right through the whole group. And I think we can do really something special. And we’re going to protect Christianity, and I can say that. I don’t have to be politically correct. (Cheering and Applause)
We’re going to protect it. You know, and I asked Jerry and I asked some of the folks because I hear this is a major theme right here, but II Corinthians, 3:17, that’s the whole ball game. Where the spirit of the lord, right, where the spirit of the lord is, there is liberty, and here there is Liberty College, but Liberty University, but it is so true. (Applause)
You know, when you think — and that’s really — is that the one? Is that the one you like? I think that’s the one you like because I loved it, and it’s so representative of what’s taken place. But we are going to protect Christianity. And if you look what’s going on throughout the world, you look at Syria where if you’re Christian, they’re chopping off heads. You look at the different places, and Christianity, it’s under siege.
I’m a protestant. I’m very proud of it, Presbyterian to be exact, but I’m proud of it, very, very proud. And we’ve got to protect because bad things are happening, very bad things are happening, and we don’t — I don’t know what it is. We don’t band together, maybe. Other religions, frankly, they’re banding together. And if you look at this country it’s got to be 70 percent, 75 percent, some people say even more, the power we have, somehow we have to unify. We have to band together. We have to do really in a really large version what they’ve done at Liberty because Liberty University has done that. You’ve banned together. You created one of the great universities, colleges, anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world, and that’s what the country has to do that around Christianity. So get together, folks, and let’s do it because we can do it. “
