It simplifies life that any statement beginning with "Trump has a better understanding..." is false. That can be relied on at the same level of certainty as the laws of Thermodynamics.
The Bible is a weird maniacal rambling mess, so that tracks?
Depending on what is meant by "understanding", it might be true that Trump has a better understanding of the bible than Pope Leo.
If you're talking about a scholarly understanding, then surely Leo has a better understanding. I mean, Trump can barely read in the first place. He definitely hasn't ever read the bible on his own initiative. A small child who goes to Sunday school has a better scholarly understanding of the bible than Trump.
However, Trump at his core is a con man and game recognizes game, as they say. Religion is one of history's greatest cons. The bible was written by the uneducated, by lunatics and the delusional, and by confidence tricksters. So on that level, Trump likely understands that the bible is all bullshit that isn't worth the paper it's written on. And so in that way, it might be true that Trump understands the bible better than Pope Leo.
This deluded loser is just as demented as Trump is and Trump barely understands breathing, so as long as it doesn't involve raping children he doesn't understand anything.
We talking the same guy that couldn't recite his favorite Bible passage?
The Cult of the Dead Merkavist has spawned multiple cults of the antichrists.
I'm going to doubt that on the grounds that the dude seems to be functionally illiterate.
If Jesus the hardline orthodox Jew from first century Galilee came back to life today, or even a century after his death, he would be appalled that gentiles have created an entirely new religion out of the worship of his idol, and he’d have far more in common with those Jews who have adhered strictly to (his interpretation) of the laws in Leviticus, like the Haredim.
Of course there’s some nuance, Jesus was certainly a revolutionary looking to upend the established order, but these modern “Christians” are completely off the map in terms of what Jesus was doing and teaching.
It's also funny because there's no way to understand the Bible better or worse.
What a weird world we live in.
