Same thing as White Supremacism and White Privilege: “White people bad.”

Of course, they put out the offensive lie that Christians are “worshiping” Trump as an excuse for how they can call themselves Christians and stand politically with the anti-Christian party and against Christian values and interests. It’s their sort of made-up self-justification so they can keep the pretense up of assuring themselves that they actually are on the right side.

I’ve seen a few of these sorts of “Christians” pushing this sort of lie on YouTube comment threads. They really don’t mind slandering Christians so long as they think they can score some political points off of it. It’s a little sick.

Last month, his congregation began a slick new six-part interactive video series aimed at reshaping evangelicals’ relationship to politics. Called “The After Party,”

I recently participated in a several week interactive video curriculum entitled "Every one his witness." It was exactly what the name suggests; how to share our faith with the people in our everyday life.

If our Pastor put up something like the "The After Party" I would expect the Elders to take action.

The best advice I was given years ago when I was looking for a church was to walk into one at random and if the message received was not "Jesus Christ, and him crucified for your sins" to walk right out and not look back.

Most Christians know that they are not voting to select saints; but the Post is trying to seduce Christians who fear that Church members will end-up worshipping Trump rather than God. This fear will not make better Christians. It will only guilt church members into dropping out and not chosing the best available candidate.

While not being a Christian, which relative few Americans are and very few and no recent Presidents were — based upon the definitive source of that title, (Acts 11:26), being born of the Spirit through wholehearted repentant and effectual transformative (in character and life) faith in the crucified and risen Lord Jesus, the divine Son of God, sent by the Father, who saves sinners on His account, by His sinless shed blood (see peacebyjesus.net) — yet we are voting for a civil leader, not spiritual pastors for a church of believers.

And in which contest policies and attributes of leadership are paramount, especially within the context of an intense culture war, and thus the best of two electable candidates that we are faced with — and their parties — are to be chosen, even if neither are Biblically Christian.

This contest can be likened to a choosing between two ships and their captain and crew, and their courses.

The policies of the ship in the left render it progressively sailing hard to port, unto shipwreck, and its captain and officers are considered to be elites, possessing superior wisdom and attributes, and worthy of the best staterooms, which elitism the prevaricating propaganda ministry (part of their crew) ceaselessly work to affirm.

These all work to convince passengers that they are part of the victim class, — or are guilty of being oppressors (part of the crew) — thereby ensuring support for leadership which present themselves as saviors of the perpetually oppressed and rectifiers of this system, a demonic (Gn. 3:1-6) indoctrination these elites and its media arm perpetuate, fostering dependence upon them.

In so doing, injustices are magnified as well as imagined or invented, while marginalizing or rejecting traditional sins (sodomy is celebrated, while math can be deemed as racist), with the latter being characterized are oppression.

This ship therefore raises a USS (United States of Sodom) flag which all are to salute, while its captain and crew is adverse to any profession of allegiance to the God of the Bible, and its morality, and those who do are considered deplorable.

Consequently, on this ship all persons to be referred to by their presently preferred pronouns, and those who fail to do so are in danger of punishment.

Likewise, bathrooms and showers are gender-neutral, regardless of age, while fornication is promoted, and contraception is funded by the government, which also spends approx.16 billion a year due to resultant sexually transmitted infections.

Affirmation of homosexual relations is especially required (despite its deleterious effects), with any who fail to provide this when required — or Satan-forbid — actually dare to express any disapproval, must be labeled with a dreaded slur, and face varying means of retribution.

Abortion at least up to birth is also government funded and the right to do with the “product” of consensual sexual relations, and for whatever reason, is militantly defended.

Since human life (or the basic sacred nature of it) may be defined based upon a degree of function, or location, then the aged in medical care are increasingly induced to choose to end their life, with gov.-issued assistance, of-course.

The relative few children that are born are sometimes called “they babies” under the premise that gender is fluid, and which condition is fostered through the educational system, as is gov. funded irreversible transitioning.

Staff are hired based upon Affirmative Action quotas, ensuing employment usually being based upon ethnicity related to political support for the captain and crew versus character and ability, thereby engaging in racism which it ostensibly seeks to prevent.

The above policies are deigned to oppress any dissent by “conservatives” who are maligned as homophobic, transphobic, gynophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, etc. oppressors, who are increasingly compelled to fund the policies, programs and perversions of this ship.

As a result of ceaseless warnings of irreversible Climageddon — which are used to justify ever-increasing power of the elites and often counter-productive restrictive regulations — then attempts are made to convert the vessel to wind power, without success.

Compliance to the perverse ever-increasing policies of this ship from Sodom ultimately rely on the power of physical force, thus many departments of this ship are amply equipped with ammunition, while efforts are made to ensure no passengers are armed with anything more than a pocket knife.

Consistent with the lusts of its leadership, means of word-wide submission are employed, from economic sanctions to physical force, albeit under other pretenses.

Salvos are incessantly fired at the competing liner, with its captain, which sails on a generally starboard course, in the direction closest to what its passengers seek, a destination envisaged by Founders of the past, or at least 1950’s, as well as that of the minority who seek a city whose builder and maker is God, who want to see His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, as it will be in the millennial reign of the Lord Christ on earth, in which the King of Heaven will be exalted. Amen.

However, GOP leadership overall usually compromises, knowing that it is the only alternative to passengers who seek the above.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20)

People are just enthusiastic a non pagan is in the running for MAGA 2.0.

We’re operating on faith, supporting the David v Goliath fight at hand.

What would a liberal know of worship??

We don’t sings songs to Trump, about Trump, or for Trump.
We do not pray to him, only for him.
We do not idolize him, but support his actions in supporting us.
We do not call him a messiah like they did Obama.
We do not call him our savior like they did Obama.

Those that claim worship of Trump are just trying to prevent his election.

When it comes to the left they almost have a monopoly on leaders that are worshipped aka cults of personality. With power and politics as their true religion they cannot help but worship their leaders. just more projection from them.

The WP can’t even find Phoenix on the map and they found a voter in an obscure church in Phoenix?
This is Cindy McCain and her clan of crazy’s trying to save their power base in AZ
