Donald Trump and Kamala Harris: Biblically disqualified?

Roughly one third of the USA is happy that Donald Trump has the Republican party nomination to become President of the United States.
Roughly one third of the USA is happy that Kamala Harris has the Democratic party nomination to become President of the United States.
So, let’s look at both of their Constitutional qualifications.
- Both were natural born citizens in the United States
- Both have been residents of the United States for 14 years
- Both are over 35 years of age.
Yes, both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris meet the stated requirements to become President according to the Constitution of the United States.
Thus, whichever one (or perhaps someone else) wins the sufficient number of electoral votes will have met the Constitutional qualifications.
Supporters of Donald Trump point to his record of being a successful businessman as well as his record as being President of the United States to demonstrate he is the best qualified person for that job.
Yet, Donald Trump not only was not always successful, he filed for bankruptcy multiple times, when he could have paid back his creditors.
The Bible teaches:
21 The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But the righteous shows mercy and gives. (Psalm 37:21)
Here is also something from my book Donald Trump and America’s Apocalypse:
Donald Trump is an admitted adulterer who said he has never repented before God and he approves of various behaviors that the Bible condemns. He despises many. He promotes nationalistic covetousness.
Supporters of Kamala Harris point to her political career as California Attorney General, then a US Senator, and then Vice President of the United States to demonstrate she is the best qualified person for that job.
As far as some steps that seemed to get her there, here are some reports and references in my 2021 book, Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction:
Although 50% of people who take the California Bar exam pass on their first attempt, Kamala Harris did not. [i]
After she finally passed, Harris began her career as a deputy district attorney in Alameda County.
She later connected with a very powerful California politician named Willie Brown:
In 1994, Harris began dating Willie Brown, a powerhouse in California politics who was then the speaker of the state assembly and was 30 years older than Harris. From his perch in the assembly, Brown appointed Harris to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the Medical Assistance Commission—positions that together paid her around $80,000 a year on top of her prosecutor’s salary.[ii]
Willie Brown, … 60 year old and “his 29 year old mistress, Kamala.” … Brown was legally married at the time. [iii]
It appears obvious that her adulterous affair with a legally married and influential man assisted her career advancement. The view of comedienne Roseann Barr was that Kamala Harris “slept her way to the bottom” to get her political career going. [iv]
Later, as attorney general Kamala Harris “made waves for her refusal to defend Proposition 8, a 2008 California ballot measure” that defined marriage as between a male and female. [v] Of course, that is also how Jesus defined marriage (cf. Matthew 19:4-5). …
Kamala Harris is an admitted adulterer. She and Joe Biden claim Christianity but certainly do not promote all aspects of biblical morality.

As Vice President, the role that the main media seems to believe she was best at, she was promoting abortion.
7 Their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed innocent blood;
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
They have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace. (Isaiah 59:7-8)
Abortion is the shedding of innocent blood–and Kamala Harris has made haste to travel across the country in order promote it. She also tends to advocate a type of class-envy covetousness when she discusses raising taxes to give “benefits” to various ones.
That said, as long time readers of this COGwriter Church of God News page are aware, as posted here many times before, I consider that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are evil.
Without going into unique specifics, let’s consider how they are similar:
- They do not live like a member of their professed faiths is supposed to try to live.
- They support LGBTQ matters.
- They have not called for national repentance.
- They have not sought first the Kingdom of God.
- One is an adulterer and the other an adulteress.
- They have all been involved in Administrations that greatly increased USA debt.
- They have all been involved in Administrations that have upset the Europeans.
- They have all been accused of hypocrisy.
- They both have made a lot of public lies.
- None have the real solutions for what the USA needs.
Now, I am not trying to say that there are no differences. Yes, I know they have differing economic and climate policies as well as different views on abortion and racial matters.
Notice that simply approving the LGBT agenda is condemned by the Bible:
26 … For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:26-32)
Yes, the USA election is a choice between evil ones. But do not place your hope in any human political leader.
Now, let’s look at some of what the scriptures teach are to be traits of godly leaders starting with something God had Moses write:
19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God. 20 And you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do. 21 Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. (Exodus 18:19-21)
Neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump are leaders who could be called “men of truth,” nor do they truly endorse God’s laws and statutes nor do they hate covetousness.
Notice something else from the Bible:
2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me,
And His word was on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said,
The Rock of Israel spoke to me:
‘He who rules over men must be just,
Ruling in the fear of God. (2 Samuel 23:2-3)
Neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump are just nor do they intend to rule in the fear of the true God.
Hence, they are not people that Christians should endorse.
Voting for Kamala Harris or voting for Donald Trump will not save the US.
The Psalmist wrote:
3 Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. (Psalm 146:3)
Furthermore, the Bible warns:
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil (Isaiah 5:20).
2 You shall not follow a crowd to do evil (Exodus 23:2)
The “lesser of two evils” is still evil.
The Bible warns:
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).
That applies to both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Trump vs Harris vs Scripture
Are Donald Trump and Kamala Harris qualified to be President of the United States according to its Constitution? Does the adulterer Donald Trump’s record as a businessman who declared bankruptcy multiple times and who was once President of the USA make him the best choice? Does Kamala Harris’ political positions, one or more were related to adultery, and then later being Vice-President make her the best choice? What about their positions on adultery and LGBTQ matters? Do either of them meet the biblical requirements to be leaders? Could they both be evil? Should Christians put their faith in leaders or in Jesus and His Kingdom? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie go over these points.
