In this video I respond to the image Donald Trump posted and removed — of himself in the likeness of Jesus.

This is not simply about one post. As I make it clear, this is the fruit of a theological ecosystem built over years — one in which court prophets, televangelists, and political preachers have surrounded a political figure, declared him anointed by God, and confused the kingdom of God with the kingdom of empire.

The result? A theology that has become a tool of power rather than a witness to truth, justice, and righteousness.

What we are witnessing today is not simply a political divide — it is the emergence of two versions of Christianity. One rooted in the ethics of Jesus: humility, mercy, justice, and love. The other rooted in the ethics of empire: power, control, nationalism, and the glorification of strength.

The Church must decide. Will it continue to produce and protect such distortions of faith? Or will it return to the crucified Christ — who rejected power, emptied himself, and was crucified by the very logic of empire that is now being celebrated?

At the end of the day, this is not simply about political ideology. It is idolatry. It is the misuse of the name of Christ. And it should concern every Christian.
