Bible scholar and Christian author Dr. Michael Brown urged Pro-Life evangelicals who voted Biden into office to repent of their blind spots and to seek reconciliation with other pro-Trump evangelicals and Catholics.
In response to "Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden's" open letter stating their disappointments on the Biden administration - particularly on the issue of abortion and the exclusion of Hyde Amendment in COVID-19 relief packages, Dr. Brown pointed that during the electoral campaign, the current President has made his positions clear.
On the issue of abortion, Biden said that he's running as a president who won't support pro-life initiatives. As for the Hyde Amendment, Dr. Brown linked to the news headline ran by the New York Times back in 2019 which clearly spelled out Biden's position. He added another link from the Democratic platform highlighting the statement, "We will repeal the Hyde Amendment, and protect and codify Roe v. Wade."
Dr. Brown questioned Biden-supporting evangelicals' statements that they were "shocked" and that they feel "used and betrayed." Brown called it "willful ignorance."
Dr. Richard Mouw, leader of the Pro-life evangelical for Biden campaign said that they supported the President's candidacy under the condition that there would be dialogues on the issue of abortion and the Hyde amendment.
"I don't see any reason why a Catholic president like Joe Biden who certainly has understood the teachings of the church could not at least say we want to cut back on the number of abortions, we don't want to federally fund abortions except in extreme circumstances," Mouw told CBN...

Rather than those persons “repenting” — just get them to stop claiming to be “pro-life”
They obviously aren’t.
They weren;t blind or stupid...They wanted him elected
Everyone who supported Biden should be repenting.
Amos 8:1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
yep
They changed their hearts when their wallets got lighter imo.
Why single out Evangelicals? Plenty of Catholics voted for him, too. How about anyone claiming to be pro-life repenting for their Biden vote?
I’m assuming Dr. Brown is focusing on Evangelicals, because that’s his camp. But, of course, the problem with ANY Christian who claims to be obedient to Christ and then voted for Biden is clearly not following the Lord.
I don’t think it’s a spiritual problem but one of intelligence and simple awareness of the obvious.
No real evangelical would have ever voted for Biden. The two make up an oxymoron.
Actually, Brown is a Pentecostal. I think he just commenting on this group because they have been getting a lot of publicity with their phony mea culpas.
I consider Pentecostals Evangelicals. But, I’m sure you are right.
Generally Pentecostals are lumped in with Charismatics rather than evangelicals.
