Do the evangelicals ever have discussions about how some evangelicals could have voted for Hillary? I’d like to hear that.
Trump bashing??? Wow.
A few observations from my faith life :
1. We elect a president, a Commander in Chief, not a pastor in Chief , not a theologian.
2. We pray for whoever are in political leadership positions.
3. I’ve heard many who are better versed in scripture than I am, note how God used many imperfect or flawed individuals, and worked through such people.
4. We faced a binary choice in the election, and the alternative was Hillary.
Article reads.....”..Its important to note that no members of President Trumps faith advisory group were present or ever officially invited.”

Sounds to me like this bunch of leader-lites would have had an easier time embracing climate change proposals and sex-change dynamics and preferable homo techniques than discussing whether our Constitution still matters.
And to think it took place at my fast-fading alma mater.

Moses was a murderer before God chose him to lead the people out of Egypt. Even so, he argued with God about it.
Saul persecuted and killed Christians before he became Paul, the greatest evangelist in Christianity.
Peter cut off the slaves ear and denied Jesus before he became the Father of the Church
King David sure did not have the best record on morality....
It appears God has special favor for the biggest screw ups.
Glad this bunch didn’t meet to discuss King David.
And they bashed Trump - no kidding?!
The liberal definition of sin excludes entire categories of sin, simply ignores other sin and trumpets the sins of conservatives they disagree with.
I have gone to saying that as a Christian I cannot vote for someone that promotes abortion.
Does that make me a single interest voter (again)?
The proper response would have been to begin singing and praying.
Perhaps “Jesus Paid It All” and other hymns focused on Christ alone.
Yeah. And where is any evidence of conversion of Hillary as there is for Trump?
Pharisees all. Know not about God’s grace and metanoia.
In that crowd, or most of it, justifying a vote for Hillary wouldn’t have come up.
I am not an evangelical, but I have wound up defending the Trump supporters to non-evangelicals who can’t get why evangelicals could vote for him. I usually go through the dark history of Hillary as a person and a political figure. One guy backed off and said he had really hoped for a race between Kasich and Bernie.
Evangelicals may not like Trump’s personal life, but they can be sure as Hell that if Hillary was president, the Executive Branch would be doing everything it could to promote abortion, gay rights, transgender rights, the Justice Department would be prosecuting Christians for not conforming to liberal orthodoxy on those issues, and we’d have a raging Lib as a Supreme Court justice.
Supposedly 25 percent of evangelicals went for Mrs. Bill.
For His Glory that He chooses such broken people.
I think people have decided not to keep quiet anymore even though it is risky to speak out with a different view than what we hear through the major media. The leftists are bullies and they are intimidating. That is why this nation does not know what people are thinking and that is why President Trump won. The polls do not reflect the real views of this population.
Who walked out? I want names.
Agree!!
The term "evangelical" was invented by the media in the 50s. We usually only hear that term around election time when the media gets all hot an bothered about Christians putting forth any sort of conservative voice.
Evangelical is not a term generally used outside the confines of the media.
Christians should be very skeptical by the usage of that term.
