Trump isn’t perfect. He’s human but he did the Kessel run in 12 parsecs and that’s all that counts. :)
The author thinks that we, as Christians, should turn the other cheek when the godless liberals slap us to the ground and sneer at our religion.
No, and, as Peter told Simon Magus, they can go to hell.
“Having spent the first two decades of his adult life as a theatre artist throughout the Southeast, John now lives in the DC area with his wife and two kids. Besides writing, he works on the staff at his church. Prior to writing for PJ Media, he was a columnist for No Depression.”
Sure thing. My go to guy when I want hard hitting analysis. /s
I voted for POTUS not pastor or savior
“Unlike my Trump-voting friends, I believe that they are overlooking another option—the choice of expressing “none of the above” with your vote.”
“You see, no one can simply vote against someone. As in, you can’t vote for Trump merely as a vote against Hillary. By voting for Donald Trump, you are claiming a level of support for the man, something I’m not comfortable with.”
More B.S. and not so different from the B.S. of Gerson.
I did not vote for ANYONE for President because I thought he was morally fit to lead a church. I don’t expect a President to have much to do with any church other than to have policies and laws that respect the legal rights of churches and the constitutional rights of religious freedom, including religious freedom in the workplace and with your business. The only directly moral requirement I have on a President is that he agrees with policies and judgments that respect the right to life of the infant in the womb.
Those things concern me far above a President’s personal peccadilloes and on those grounds I would, and believe any “evangelical” should prefer Trump over any Marxist/Progressive who appears to be a moral saint.
And no, I don’t think a “none of the above” stance, between a Donald Trump or a Marxist/Progressive moral saint, is a morally, theologically “better vote”. It is nothing other than an acceptance of horribly bad government just because its president is “without sin”.
Additionally the “anyone but Hillary vote” is precisely a vote that puts the purposes of government, not your church, as the priority purpose in who you want in government. Trump wins on policy, and they have been policies that many people of faith have been wanting - regardless of Trumps personal sins.
What are all these articles “from the right” calling Trump supporters out for Trump’s “sins” attempting to do? They are attempting to divide the support for Trump on so called “moral” conditions and ignoring that the purpose of government is NOT to be the church or the religion, but to make the best government policies. On that Trump stands far ahead of any Marxist/Progressive/Liberal president in my lifetime - even with his personal peccadilloes.
What choices doe a rational Christian have? Support Trump or “never” him?
When and if we get to Heaven, and we have to account for trying to build a bit of His kingdom on earth should we say we stayed silent and/or condemned Trump and let the Democrats affect the culture? Or say we supported Trump while trying to influence him and the culture toward a nation under God again?
I came back to read the comments in this thread and am greatly encouraged by all the right-thinking, clear-thinking folks we have on FR!
