Falwell went above and beyond normal standards, to separate his public opinions from Liberty University.
Sadly,lots of people act like crabs in a bucket,and refuse to see just how insane they appear to others.
Have a nice day!
Falwell held a public love-fest a week earlier at Liberty, practically calling Trump Christ-like - but held back his endorsement. People are rightfully wondering what inducement produced his endorsement a week later.
"Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr. stopped short of making an endorsement of Donald Trump Monday when he praised the 2016 Republican presidential frontrunner as one of the "greatest visionaries of our time," and a servant-leader who follows the teachings of Jesus.
Russell Moore, head of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, however, shredded Falwell's praise of Trump as "absolutely unbelievable" in a series of tweets during Trump's nearly 50-minute speech.
"Trading in the Gospel of Jesus Christ for political power is not liberty but slavery," Moore tweeted.
Falwell invoked the character of Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr. and his own father in a glowing introduction of the billionaire real estate baron to a record crowd at the Lynchburg, Virginia campus of the Christian college where the address took place. He was able to do support Trump, he said, because they had become fast friends after the businessman's visit to the campus in 2012.
"As our friendship has grown, so has my admiration for Mr. Trump. Whenever we were in New York we were asked to drop by and say hello at the Trump Tower on 5th Avenue. Mr. Trump is loyal to his friends even new friends like us," he said before adding a caveat to his praise. "As you know Liberty University does not support or oppose candidates for public office and Mr. Trump's appearance here should not be interpreted by any as an endorsement by Liberty."....
