christian pastor saeed abedini was jailed in iran because of his faith for three and a half years. during that extremely difficult time, abedini said that gop presidential nominee donald trump met with his family and gave them $10,000. 




abedini wrote about how trump helped his family in a recent facebook post and noted that he had already voted for trump last week in early voting. <u+201c>i am finally free in a free country,<u+201d> he wrote. <u+201c>last year on the same day i was sick and in chains for christ, and now i can vote to choose my next president.<u+201d> 




<u+201c>and most amazingly, i can vote for someone that i know fought for me and called my name so many times. he met my family and gave them a $10,000 gift. i think his ideas are more biblical than the other candidates.<u+201d> 




in contrast, clinton did nothing for him or his family: 




as a woman who says she stands for women<u+2019>s rights when she was foreign minister, she never contacted my mom, wife, sister or my daughter. she never did anything to help when i was in prison as an american pastor who was detained in iran as a hostage. 




christian today reported : 




abedini strongly defended trump from attacks on his character, saying god used flawed men to lead nations in the old testament, likening him to king cyrus of persia, a figure mentioned more than 30 times in the bible. according to bible experts, cyrus was a great pagan king who ruled persia from 539 to 530 b.c. under his rule, jews were first allowed to return to israel after 70 years of captivity. 




abedini wrote: 




in the past few months, we have seen how media is attacking donald trump<u+2019>s past. i have even heard so many people said he is not a christian. of course, only god knows this for sure, but what i see is god is using him and anointed him. it seems to me that he is the cyrus of our modern day, but like you and me, he is a flawed man, in the process of spiritual growth. 




when we hear that this candidate or that candidate is not a strong christian or has a past that disqualifies him to be the president of the united states, my answer is that we are a nation, a people who are also sinners, saved by grace. 




how often do you hear about kind things clinton has done for others like this? i can<u+2019>t think of any. abedini<u+2019>s words are extremely powerful and certainly something anyone who is on the fence about trump should read.
