Dear Editor,
Re ‘Donald Trump’s legacy’, February the Christian’s test of a government
en, should only be on the basis of its actions. Are authorities ‘God’s ministers for good’? In the administration of power, do they strengthen or weaken respect for God’s moral law? Do they strengthen or weaken the standing of the Christian faith? Do they try to protect Christians? What are the actual accomplishments of an administration, leaving aside the image or even the character of its leaders. As far as individual responsibility is concerned Paul says: ‘Those without God judges (1 Cor. 5:13)’.
No other American President in living memory has supported and strengthened the Nation of Israel’s claims to its God-given inheritance as Mr Trump did. Obama’s policies were carefully calculated to weaken Israel and strengthen its Islamic enemies.
Since the passing of Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court, Mr Trump was the first President to actively attempt to defund Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider. It is an industry that Clinton and Obama supported and promoted. Biden has immediately taken steps to reverse the Trump administration’s efforts.
Yours sincerely,
John Miller, Glenrothes
