Thank you for calling out Pete Hegseth's perverse (the kindest adjective I can think of to describe it) travesty of a prayer. As you suggest, so many people who claim to be Christians actually seem to be Old Testamentarians. The comedian Taylor Tomlinson calls the Old Testament "my favorite Taylor Swift album" (https://www.tiktok.com/@taylortomlinsoncomedy/video/7537779703021620535). The late, great singer/songwriter John Prine said he thought of the Bible as an unauthorized biography of God.
Both of those comments show immensely more insight – and even, in their own way, reverence – than Hegseth has ever displayed, despite (or because of) the fact that they come from people he'd disparage as unbelievers.
Personally, I envision Jesus reacting to most of what his self-proclaimed followers say and do with a face-palm and, "That's not what I said!"
I believe that you can be a Republican and, a conservative at the same time,without spending our country into debt.I am no RINO nor am i a socialist.The only problem with our government is this take us back sixty years and, we can make America great again.Trump does not think forward.You can see it in how he runs the government.

I’m not going to make any more comparisons between the Old Testament and the New Testament. They do not belong in the same biblical context.
Well all Republicans who
