Wicked, godless tyrants support torture but the Bible teaches different. Read this to find out why.

Are you saying the Bible disagrees with Trump?


Trump knows so much about the Bible, it guides his every action

LOL! Of course the Bible disagrees with Trump. But then, Trump doesn't ask God's forgiveness either. He's a wicked satanist masquerading as Christian.

I'm not so sure about that part.

Not literally. More of a colorful way of saying "you're for Christ or you're against him"

LOL @ Quoting Ted Kennedy on the subject of drowning tortures.

Once you see it you can't unsee it.

A woman who gets her ears pierced for earrings is deliberately inflicting temporary pain upon herself, but because this is authorized by the Bible (Ezek. 16:12), it does not fit the definition of torture. Circumcision was also a painful act, with debilitating pain lasting for several days (Gen. 34:25), but because it too was authorized by God’s Word (Gen. 17), we will not define circumcision as torture. Likewise, surgeries designed to restore a body to God’s normal order, though inflicting pain, had a Biblical and God-glorifying purpose and would not constitute torture.

Scripture is not a complete map. No matter what the topic is, you end up going off script and stumbling into territory where you're using it as a guide, but you're still making best guesses - not reporting on a direct commandment. How a guy with a PhD got from two operations that are completely unnecessary and purely ornamental to those which are designed to preserve life or restore function without recognizing the logic hole he just stepped into, I can't tell you.
