Conservative evangelical bishop E.W. Jackson says that his "attitude" about Donald Trump changed as a result of Tuesday's meeting between Trump and hundreds of America's top evangelical leaders in New York City.

Jackson, who is the founder of the conservative nonprofit S.T.A.N.D., said in a conference call during the meeting that he can now back the presumptive Republican nominee instead of just preferring him over presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

For true, Bible-based, evangelical, God-fearing Christian churches — no, there is no other choice.

Well, there are many rainbow apostate churches that have people that call themselves Christian, but support a lot of unChristian beliefs and activities. They’ll gladly support HRC.

If a church is a World Council of Churches (WCC) member, it is apostate or approaching it. (I was going to link to it at www.oikoumene.org, but, sonofagun, their website is now dead. Was alive a couple weeks ago. Curious.)

Those who do not accept what the Bible commands them, then it is apostate. But what I meant is that not just Christians who are Evangelical, but those who are also liturgical oriented Christians as well. They use the Bible readings are part of their worship.

"rainbow apostate churches"
I LIKE it. It so accurately describes the mess of those erstwhile Christian churches.
