“As a Christian, I don't think you can be both MAGA and Christian,” one person wrote in the comments of the video.

“As a Christian, I don’t think you can be both MAGA and Christian,” one person wrote in the comments of the video.

Two weeks ago, Jen Hamilton, a nurse with a sizable following on TikTok and Instagram, picked up her Bible and made a video that would quickly go viral.

“Basically, I sat down at my kitchen table and began to read from Matthew 25 while overlaying MAGA policies that directly oppose the character and nature of Jesus’ teachings,” she told HuffPost.

In the comments of the video ― which currently has more than 8.6 million views on TikTok ― many (Christians and atheists alike) applauded Hamilton for using straight Scripture as a way of offering commentary. Others picked a bone with Christians who uncritically support Trump.

    They are whether you like that or not.

    “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

    -Matthew 7:21

    Pretty sure your savior had a lot to say about judging others.

    “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

    -Matthew 7:15

      Wait, are you telling me the Bible is contradictory?!?

      No, that’s not right… Only the verses that apply RIGHT NOW matter and we need to ignore the rest.

      Or are you going to argue that according to the Bible, it’s other Christians who are actually the ones who are meant to judge?

        Wait, are you telling me the Bible is contradictory?!?

        I’m not telling you anything, I simply quoted it. Read the passages.

        If you see a contradiction then that’s what your brain is telling yourself.

        Or are you going to argue that according to the Bible, it’s other Christians who are actually the ones who are meant to judge?

        I’m not going to argue anything. I’m simply going to quote the Bible again.

        But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

        What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

        -Corinthians 5:11-13
