How do you square these results with the trend of “mainstream” Protestant churches divesting from Israel to protest her alleged prosecutution of her “Palestinian” minority? Is there a disconnect between the officialdom of these churches and their congregants?
There is a major disconnect between many/most officals and leaders of mainstream churches and their congregants. While there is a loud and irritating minority of rad-lib congregants that get all the attention, most congregants are more conservative overall from the leadership. Places like the PCUSA, ELUSA, TEC (formerly the ECUSA - my former denomiation), UMC, etc. Most of these so-called “religious” organizations are run by ex-sixties hippie leftovers with the usual anti-US, pro-marxist, anti-anything traditionally Judeo-Christian views and agenda. Most of these groups have been loosing Christain members for years, as Christians fed up with their “spirituality” vote with their feet.
Sadly, in more recent years, some Evangelical groups and leaders have become more anti-Israel and pro-Amalekstinian.
What you are seeing is some traction by efforts of people like Hillary to penetrate the Evangelical camp in American political circles. Some. If they were making any type of major impact, you wouldn't see the MSM, Democrat political machine, and others, hyperventilating and screeching about it as they do.
People like Hagee are being attacked because they have major pull and are making an impact. The numbers are still there, desperately trying to be buried by those who would benefit otherwise.
We still have the field. We push onward.
