Idiots.

Donald Trump was the only man who could have prevented Hillary Clinton from becoming president. I thank God for that every day.

Yeah, a Hillary Clinton presidency would have been awesome for evangelical Christians. We all would have had “fun camps” to go to!

The ones who are the fools are the bitter Never Trumpers and Neo Pharisees pushing this ignorant nonsense

Romans 3:23 New International Version (NIV)

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Is Trump perfect? No, far far from it but then SO TOO are these bombastic poser using their pompous religiosity as an excuse to condemn him politically

Most of the Left anti God agenda has not been legislative, it been imposed by Courts. Most notable, Abortion and Gay Marriage.

On Judges alone Trump has done a better job of protecting Christians then the last 4 Presidents combined

hris Thurman claims that “evangelicals who support Donald Trump are being both blind and foolish to do so.” Therefore “labeling them as such is not sinful but appropriate and necessary.” Is there any truth to his charge?

We are not electing someone for sainthood. We are electing someone who will save America from becoming a hellhole, so that it doesn't become a hellhole for evangelicals. At this present time, no one else can do it.

[[Chris Thurman]]

What do you propose then Chris Thurman? Not vote and allow a screeching raving lunatic democrat to become our president?

What exactly has President Trump done that is so bad for our country Chris?

[[appalling words and actions, ]]

Appalling actions? What Chris? Name them!~

[[ignore his glaring moral defects,]]

Where in the bible does it say we need to hold out for a pure as the driven snow candidate in order to support this country? We are hiring a Commander in Chief- NOT a pastor in chief! Get that through your thick skull! Would you rather have had a godless screeching raving lunatic liberal as president? And you say you love this country? Then act like it and stop attacking the right for doing the RIGHT Thing!

[[“Given how narcissistic and sociopathic Trump is, he fundamentally doesn’t believe that the rules of moral behavior or social norms apply to him.”]]

Hey Chris- have you bothered to take a look at the left? Trump is St Andrew compared to most of them!

[[“Given that Trump’s moral depravity has glaringly and dangerously been on display in public for three years now,... causing such great harm everywhere he goes]]

Oh go crawl back in the liberal swamp you slithered out of you lying viper! You child of the Evil One-

And Michael Brown- you aren’t much better- What harm is {President Trump doing to this nation? Go suck an egg- you sound almost a liberal as Chris does-

In a lengthy op-ed piece for The Christian Post titled "You foolish evangelicals, Trump has bewitched you," Chris Thurman claims that “evangelicals who support Donald Trump are being both blind and foolish to do so.”

Well, if perfect human beings existed, Thurman might have a point. Instead, we must choose from the people we actually have, and Trump will fulfill more of the requirements of evangelicals than any of the alternatives.

"The perfect is the enemy of the good" - Voltaire, maybe - who knows, I'm not perfect.

To be clear, I have frequently urged my fellow-evangelicals not to defend Trump when his words or actions are indefensible and not to sell our souls to him.

And having read the entire article he does not give one single solitary example of these "indefensible" words or actions.

Of course it is Michael Brown. His books and articles are not to be tossed lightly aside.

They should be hurled with great force.

Preferably at his head.

It might knock some sense into him

As usual he is inventing solutions for imaginary problems.

Under The Farting Pantsuit, fanatical atheist partisan Democrat "judges" would have been flooding the Federal courts.

As we have seen over the last three years, these radical judge-presidents would be issuing "ruling" after "ruling" that would be a boot in the face of evangelicals across the country.

I think the evangelicals chose wisely.

Who are these Christians? What type of God do they believe in that would want us to vote for and support reprobate evil; killing live babies, love of money and criminal behaviors that would make the Romans blush, and sodomites?

OK, I’ll give you one -— Accusing Ted Cruz’s father of colluding to kill JFK.

He didn't. But that is ok, Michael.

You can try again.

OK, so I as an “evangelical” should not have voted for Trump. So I should have voted for Hillary, or not voted at all which is basically voting for Hillary.

Remember, Hillary the lady who said in a speech to an international audience (not in the U.S.) that Christians must be forced to accept abortion. Hillary, the one who said that those with traditional Christian beliefs are “deplorable.” Hillary, who aided and abetted her husband a sexual predator. Hillary, whose party officially rejected God 3 times and accepted Satan in their 2012 national convention. The Democrats, the party of homosexuality, transgenderism, murdering children, mocking marriage, and embracing drugs. Do you think God would approve of ANY of that? What do you think Hillary would have done if she got in office? Christians in America would be going through persecution like never before. Many of us in licensed professions like medicine, law, pharmacy, etc. would probably have been forced out of our employment by now, and all Christians would have been banned from the public square. We already see it increasing substantially even with Trump as president.

The Bible clearly says you must CHOOSE. Joshua 24:14-15. You cannot just sit on the sidelines. Esther 4:14.

Well, I guess all of these reports are wrong?

https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-36195317

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/05/03/trump-bizarrely-links-cruzs-father-jfk-assassin-cruz-goes-ballistic/83874972/

Now, if you say they are the liberal media, what about this video of Trump NOT distancing himself from the allegation and in fact, putting more gasoline to the flames:

So, let me get this straight. Opposing Trump, which basically means supporting his Democrat rivals, who openly advance infanticide, is wrong and sinful?
Someone appears to be first in line for the great deception.
