A Response to the Editor of Christianity Today
Townhall ^ | Dec 24, 2019 12:01 AM | Dennis Prager

Posted on 12/24/2019 8:09:52 AM PST by Jeff Chandler

The editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, Mark Galli, wrote an editorial calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

In my view, this editorial only serves to confirm one of the sadder realizations of my life: that religious conviction guarantees neither moral clarity nor common sense.

The gist of the editorial -- and of most religious and conservative opposition to President Trump -- is that any good the president has done is dwarfed by his character defects.

This is an amoral view that says more about Galli than it does about the president. He and the people who share his opinion are making the following statement: No matter how much good this president does, it is less important than his character flaws.

Why is this wrong?

Great points. Another example is all of the Christians that voted for Jimmuh Carter just because he said he was born again. Jimmuh is arguably one of the major facilitators of genocide in the history of the world.

Thanks for posting. HOORAY Dennis Prager!

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It’s constant work and the CRIMINAL STATE is much bigger than we imagined. Otherwise...

Liberty(right Rush?)/Freedom/Individuals/Christianity paid a heavy price to get into The Collectivist’s Cup. It battled down the backstretch but broke down in the far turn (they shoot horses don’t they?). Down the stretch it was Marx vs. Mohammed. At the wire it was Mohammed by a head.

Analysis of “Milestones” - Sayyid Qutb (VERY fascinating book if you have the time)

Qutb’s ideological consequence has been compared to that of Hitler and he has been deemed “as significant [to Islamism] as Lenin was to Communism.” The sweeping influence of Qutb’s work has earned him the designation of “[the radical Islamic] Karl Marx” and, unequivocally, “the Arab world’s first important theoretician of the Islamist cause.”

Thanks for posting this.

I have been carefully reading his commentary on Exodus.

He is a Jew (as I am) and his book has a number of arguments that show how the Judeo-Christian foundation of the United States cannot be taken away without incalculable destructive influences on our way of life. Talking points every fellow conservative should know about.

Mark Galli has deep connections to Soros. The fact that CT is fine with what this operative wrote says much about how compromised the magazine is. Nothing is safe. Nothing.

As soon as I saw it was CT, I was not surprised. I gave up on CT about 5 years ago, realizing it was a left wing screed. The editors decided to take a leftward slant to their views on Christian thinking.

Someone should tell Galli to take the plank out of his own eye. I have said particularly crude and unchristian things so many times I can’t even count. I may have never SAID what Trump said about pootang but I have certainly THOUGHT it, and it is clear what I think according to God is as bad as what I do or say.

True - but he only lusted on time in his heart... If this idiot editor thinks we're voting to elect a Church pastor he's an effing idiot.

Trump may be uncouth but he isn’t unscrupulous. Thank God!

“They” are masters at buying credibility and integrity and then, once under new ownership, “they” use that credibility and integrity against those who grew up trusting that voice.

Remember obama getting a Nobel Peace Prize for what, looking black while running for POTUS? Social proof wins over the gullible.

The scary thing is how long “they” have had to do what “they” do!

“They” and their messages are everywhere nowadays.

Reality Today reminds me of the movie “They Live” and Christianity Today is just another example among many.

Chick-fil-A is also going down that path.

1 Timothy 4:1 defined.

What is happening is demonic.

This is becoming prolific, ans it is transformative.

Thanks for the link; post.

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

Has anyone ever read Sojourners? Like Christianity Today on Trotsky’s favourite drugs.

A good and informative read. The cancer of Marxism has successfully stayed underground just beneath the surface relentlessly eating away at the core and doing the father of lie’s bidding. They have the Vatican and have fractured and corrupted many of God’s churches.
