This is an absolute must read

As the Pope hardly represents Christianity anymore, it should probably be clarified that Catholics voted in line with the Church’s official teachings instead of the political opinions (with no foundation in scripture) of the Pope du jour.

Hillary famously called Christians “homophobes” and “deplorable.” In another speech she said they had to be “re-educated” to accept abortion. What did she expect would be the reaction?

Good post, Kaslin. "My patience has worn thin with people claiming to embrace a new liberal Christianity."

Unfortunately, we see this in the SBC and "bible-based" churches as well: the sad case of Jennifer Hatmaker, the guy that was run out of Mars Hill Church, Rob Bell, etc. Also never heard of Tim Keller....apparently not that famous!

For me, it was very easy to ignore the modern antipope, Francis.

The 2016 race was defined mainly by racial issues, not religion.

What nonsnese. Black voters in Alabama will regret voting for Jones? No they won’t. Why does the author say that Evangelicals who voted for Trump were “defying” libertarians? Ron Paul supporters were at the core of Trump’s earliest supporters. Evangeliclas only got on board the Trump train when it was clear he was going to win.

libertarians, and self-professed moralists.

I couldn’t read this moralist self-professing screed in its entirety. It’s strange because I read Sinclair Lewis’s Elmer Gantry evangelical hoo-hah with pleasure. Must be a difference in writing skills.

As for this libertarian, I am delighted to have helped elect Trump to the presidency and imagine there are legions of libertarians like myself.

So while the author goes about his look-at-me-I’m-Christan charade of bashing those who do not sit entirely in his pew, I can only say, “We won. Enjoy the ride or get off the train.”

John 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

Tim Keller is a hireling. Frightened by the how liberals view the fundamentals of Jesus Christ, repulsed by the conservatism of Christian Republicans, he has become the voice of the Christian moderate "middle." In other words a hiring, who flees when the wolf comes.

What is the Christian moderate middle? These are the social justice Christians. The multicultural Christians. The Christians who eschew divisive politics in favor of bridge building. Sounds great, right? Yes, but only until people realize that truth must be cast to the ground and stomped like pearls before swine! Why do they allow truth to be trampled in favor bridge building? Fear. Fear of the Zeitgeist. Never wanting to be the "bad" guys in the eyes of the LGBTQIXXX world we now live in.

This is the group that claims to not advocate LGBTQIXXXX practices, but they will never condemn them. Abortion was long ago sent to the issue trash heap by this group because it is a settled "non-issue". Its legal! This is the group that will strain the gnat of Donald Trump's locker room comments, but swallow the entire Obama-Clinton Chrislamic/Communist/Spirit Cooking belief system. They will reject good men like Judge Roy Moore/Clarence Thomas for questionable accusations, while tacitly endorsing infanticide murderers like Doug Jones.

It is because of hirelings like Tim Keller that the Church is precipitously sliding away from the Word of God. It is men like this who have shepherded the Church to apostasy, leading to the great "falling away" spoken of in 2 Thess 2. The good news is that the good shepherd is coming soon to judge all of us, including the hirelings. Pastor Tim will soon be relieved of duty, and the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, will take the place of all shepherds, good or bad. But only for those who cling to truth even at the cost of public opinion, convenience, and possibly their life!

The author is Robert Oscar Lopes (per the web site)

Here’s some info on him

According to The Daily Caller, “He is — or was — bisexual. He is now married to a woman. “[2] According to Inside Higher Ed, he “identifies as bisexual.”[7] He is member of the Southern Baptist Convention.[4]

The problem in Alabama was more specific but people don’t like focusing in on it for some odd reason. Maybe they’re cowed by PC and are afraid to speak the truth, yet again. It was women. They were manipulated by the Democrats, who know putatively conservative women can be manipulated thusly.
