Sorry but we don’t give much credence to Third World opinions.

Liberals marginalize the poor. Their political power depends on keeping them dependent, like minorities.

Sound bite theology that’s an excuse for class wars isn’t how Jesus wants the rich to help the poor.

The modern business enterprise didn’t exist in Jesus’ Israel. Now that it does exist, we still have class warfare folks making it hard for it to hire the poor.

We have poor and weak in America already. We don’t need to import new ones.

“Some of the things that have been said by religious leaders seem to collude with a system that marginalises the poor, a system which builds walls instead of bridges, a system which says people on the margins of society should be excluded, a system which says we’re not welcoming people any more into our country.


What do these Progressive code phrases actually mean?

Marginalizes the poor? - Maintains property rights.

Builds walls instead of bridges? - Maintains the rule of law and protects its citizens.

Not welcoming more people into our country is completely acceptable. A country gets to decide who enters and who does not, or it does not survive.

Part of Christian doctrine is self defense and the responsibility of the government to protect its people.

Its best for someone who proclaims or claims to follow Jesus to act like Jesus.

I’m a big hypocrite and sinner, I even call myself “Fundamentalists Anonymous”.

I am not a part of the Evangelical subculture anymore, but I don’t have any bitterness or anger towards people over anything.

The liberal and conservative factions that choose to throw bombs at each other like this liberal is had names in the Good Book.

The liberal ones were called Sadducces and the conservative ones like I used to be were called Pharisees.

Its time to stop throwing bombs and “get ones own side of the street cleaned up” IMHO.

Paul Bayes, the bishop of Liverpool, said “self-styled evangelicals” risked bringing the word evangelical into disrepute, and added there was no justification for Christians contradicting God’s teaching to protect the poor and the weak.

The guy is full of ...... um, this is the RF so I can't say.

Nevertheless, he is grossly misrepresenting the Evangelical position.

Christian are not contradicting God's teaching to protect the poor and weak by NOT wanting their responsibility to do so foisted off on the government.

Taking care of them is the job of the CHURCH, not the government.

Besides, when we do try to protect the weak, we are thrown in jail by the pro-abortion crowd.

urging them to reflect on how their endorsement of the president relates to their faith

Reflecting......reflecting some more.......Done reflecting. Yep, I support Donald Trump alright, and I'm a Christian. So go pound sand, bishop.

I’m so sick of these liberal “Christians.” They believe that all they have to do is talk about their concern for “the poor” in order to dress their godless communism in religious clothing.

The bishop is wrong in his perspective.

But American evangelicals deserve criticism for their unhindered embrace of Donald Trump. The man is profane, and an adulterer, and lacks self control. For these, the American believer ought to be circumspect.

His policies? Great, so far. But policies do not make a man righteous.

When the higher ups in a religion are bombastic buffoons who think they are better than the laity, and who constantly forgo talking up Christ so they can go all political, is it still a valid religion?
