Is Evangelical Support for Trump Hurting Our Christian Witness Worldwide?
The Stream ^ | 12/24/19 | Dr. Michael Brown

Posted on 12/24/2019 8:12:29 PM PST by OddLane

We often hear that evangelical support for President Trump is hurting our witness here in America. Is it hurting our witness overseas as well?

In a follow-up to Christianity Today’s editorial by Mark Galli calling for the removal of President Trump, CT president Timothy Dalrymple noted, “We are also a global ministry” and “partly on behalf of that global body, we can no longer stay silent.” Is it true, then, that American evangelical support for Trump is hurting our international witness?

This is part of the new narrative that is getting astroturfed across the media complex. I pity the fool that believes it, but they have run out of options and the trickery is going to ramp up.

I have an answer for Dr. Dobson. If President Trump were to resign tomorrow or be removed by a Senate trial in January, Vice President Pence becomes President.

You should point this fact out to anyone questioning evangelical support for Mr. Trump. And watch their reaction. The secular left and Christians like Mayor Pete will wet their pants. And thus, we see how the argument is insincere.

Right before #MeToo became a "thing," the Left was excoriating Mr. Pence for his strict rules about not dining alone with a woman who was not his own wife.

As an evangelical Christian, I am so sick and tired of hearing about Donald Trump’s past life.

He hasn’t been living like a “playboy” for years, so why bring it up now?

Do these liberals really think that evangelical Christians are going to support baby-killing Democrats?

FU Dr. Brown and the horse you rode in on.

DJT is POTUS (President of the United States), not POTE (President of the Earth). He was elected POTUS by the citizens of the USA to govern and represent our interests, welfare and benefit. End of story.

Get your facts in order.

I love my POTUS and don’t give a fug about what the rest of world thinks about him, me or my nation.

MAGA!

Backing the impeachment of the President on false charges sure would...and frankly who cares? My faith is not defined by the outrage of spoiled children.

GREAT reply!!

Here’s a reply from DP0622:

This Italian Catholic is here to tell anyone that has a problem with Evangelicals that they can meet the thick side of a Louisville slugger from me.

The only reason a REAL Christian had/has a chance of winning the US presidency is because of Evangelicals.

Their votes this past election helped DIRECTLY save THOUSANDS and possibly TENS OF THOUSANDS of deaths..of Christians AND muslims at the hands of ISIS.

We should all be thankful that their overwhelming votes in favor of Trump are bringing this nation slowly but surely back to its roots.

Who cares what the world thinks? Last I checked they weren’t voting for president of the world.

God Bless America and our biggest voting bloc this Christmas.

buona notte e buon Natale!!!!

Nope.
But IF you don’t support him, you’re supporting the godless bunch that worships at that altar of the abortion god, Molech....and THAT will definitely destroy your witness

Amen...

Let Him who is without fault cast the first stone....

And further, King David who was involved in Adultery, murder and other crimes yet he repented and God’s only begotten son was born of his line.

If people crave worldly approval from the secular elite, criticizing Trump is an easy way to get it.

That is all that is going on here.

BTW the article is reasonable and not one sided in favour of CT.

The author makes the point that evangelical support for right to life and against the gay agenda is a bigger barrier to evangelism than Trump. The author is not prepared to compromise on that.

The author makes the point that Christians preach Christ, not some secular political leader.

WTF is this sudden line of attack on Trump by erstwhile evangelicals??? Have these f***s bothered to look that he has been a devoted foot soldier in the fight for the unborn??
