Childish personal attacks on Russell Moore aside, he is certainly correct to say that Trump is not the favorite among Christian conservatives.

Really? You could have fooled me

He is among all the Conservative Christians I know. None of whom are falling for Carson and many who like Cruz as a second choice.

The only thing that makes Trump different from Russell Moore in a religious sense is that he isn’t a Southern Baptist. If Trump were a professed Southern Baptist; then he’d be viewed as Presidential material by all of them, not to mention Heaven bound, no matter what he did or said.
Correct. It is Cruz and Carson. Christians are sheep who listen to their pastor 95% without questioning whether the teacher is actually using scripture IN CONTEXT.
Agreed, but it appears sanity has very little to do with this thread.
If you think holding those you agree with to a basic standard of honesty is "childish" your are a fool not worthy of a response!
But in case you came to the thread before you were sufficiently awake to read and hear Moore in his own words - provided by links - I'll post them again:
1) He wrote in his own blog (link):
"This is a gospel issue. First of all, our Lord Jesus himself was a so-called “illegal immigrant.”"
2) He later states on a youtube video (link)
Caller: "On what basis did he say that the Holy Family...were illegal immigrants?"Unfortunately for Moore, since Jesus was neither an "undocumented immigrant" nor an "immigrant" to the Roman Empire when he traveled from Roman Judea to Roman Egypt, Moore substituted one lie with another.Moore as guest: "I have said earlier that when we welcome the sojourner and the stranger among us, those who are undocumented and in a strange land, we need to remember that our Lord Jesus himself was an immigrant in Egypt."
The sleazy manner in which he attempted this substitution was further evidence of his abject dishonesty. (When asked about the 1st lie he mislead his audience by claiming that he in fact said the 2nd only - as if he never said the 1st.)
