Evangelical Leader Calls Trump’s Christian Backers Unchristian {and Lies about Jesus's Birth}

One of the country’s most influential Christian Right leaders says the support Donald Trump enjoys among evangelicals is limited to worshipers of false idols.

Russell Moore, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, is disputing conventional wisdom that Trump is hugely popular with born again Christians, insisting those actually in his camp follow the “dangerous false teaching of the prosperity gospel.”

Talking about "dangerous false teaching." How Christian is Moore's big lie about Jesus being an "undocumented immigrant?"

Here he is in "Russell Moore Responds: Jesus Was An Undocumented Immigrant:" youtube.com

The most basic knowledge of Jesus and his life/time includes the fact that he was born when both Israel and Egypt were part of the Roman Empire and not independant countries with their own immigration laws or borders.

Their is no question Moore is a lying propagandist and not a Christian evangelic. The only question is: How much of the hundreds of billions of dollars of government funding for "resettling" illegals does Moore and his Baptist associates pocket? Poverty pimps with upturned collars!

Whacko cult alert.

Thank you for posting this.

It's certain the Preachers are advocating heartily for Carson.

Clarification:

Since both Israel and Egypt were part of the Roman Empire and not independent countries with their own immigration laws or borders - Jesus was neither an undocumented or legal immigrant in Egypt.

Trump has not shown to believe in “prosperity Gospel,” but some of those ministers he met with about a month ago do believe in that.

He also lies when he responds that he merely called him an "immigrant" (which itself is a lie) and not an “illegal immigrant.” Here he write in his own blog "russellmoore.com":

"This is a gospel issue. First of all, our Lord Jesus himself was a so-called “illegal immigrant.”"

We went through all this with Ronald Reagan because Reagan was divorced. I used to tell people I was happy to support Reagan as president of the U.S.,... but not for an elder of my church.

Different jobs, different requirements.

I’d be more comfortable as a Christian supporting Donald Trump than as a Christian supporting Mike Huckabee. Trump speaks merely as a lay person. Huckabee, as governor who postured as a former minister, released prisoners from jail that killed people upon release.

It looks like Russell Moore is following the dangerously false teaching of the prosperity gospel himself! How much government money is he collecting to "help" the government take care of illegal immigrants?

What a disappointment to see such hypocrisy from a man with leadership responsibility and power to do good! His overseers need to talk to him.

Little by little the Baptists’ true colors are coming out.

Ironically, in the eyes of the Catholic Church, Ronald Reagan and Nancy’s marriage was always valid.

Jane Wyman was married to someone else in 1937. The marriage broke up in no time. She married Reagan in 1940, and divorced him in 1949.

Reagan married Nancy in, IIRC, 1951.

Wyman became a Catholic in 1954, and at that time, the Church declared her marriage to Reagan null, because of the prior marriage bond.

In the eyes of the State, Reagan was divorced and remarried. In the eyes of the Catholic Church, Reagan was married once.

Do a search. I bet you will find out Moore is on the receiving end of dollars to “help” illegals destroy our country.

[Therapsid]

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

“Their is no question Moore is a lying propagandist and not a Christian evangelic.”

Needs to be restated.

[spintreebob]

Large percentages of evangelicals, and pentecostals, and catholics are pro-illegal (like me).

Large percentages of the same are anti-illegal.

We disagree, just as we disagree on pre or post trib or a few other issues. The reality is that some people can be good Christians and have less than perfect theology. Some people can have perfect theology and be empty shells and not Christian at all.

By their fruits ye shall know them.

I didn’t leave the Southern Baptists they left me.

“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

[Mamzelle]

You got that right; our evangelical leaders are selling out Christians for thirty million silver pesos. But we need FR friends who are actually in the communities to keep track, take pictures, report!!

This is what happens when Baptists get organized.

“Little by little the Baptists’ true colors are coming out.”

Hey, there. Don’t be judging all Baptists by what the goofy SBC does. We INDEPENDENT Baptists are, for the most part, very fundamental. SBC goes off the deep end every couple of decades, gets reined in and behaves for a while, then goes whack-o again. Sounds like they’re moving back into whack-o mode again.

SBC is just too organized. When the leaders make decrees and statements and allegedly speak for all Baptists, it’s too much like the pope thing; we don’t like it. Free will and independence is best.
