Russell Moore: 'If I were a member of Congress, I would vote to impeach' President Trump
Christian Post ^ | 1/12/21 | Leah MarieAnn Klett

Influential Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore issued a blistering criticism of President Donald Trump and the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol last week and said that if he were a member of Congress, he “would vote to impeach” the president.

“This is not about politics. This is about our country, about the rule of law and about the sanctity of human life,” Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, wrote in a Jan. 11 op-ed posted on his website.

“The president invited mobs to Washington — promising a 'wild' time — and told them to march to the Capitol,” he continued. “Despite the fact that there was not one thing that Vice President [Mike] Pence could have lawfully done, the president called him a coward, and whipped up crowds against him who, many of them, then chanted ‘Hang Mike Pence!’ while constructing gallows on the Capitol grounds.

"An American flag was thrown down and replaced with a Trump flag, while another insurrectionist paraded a Confederate flag through the Capitol. Police officers were attacked. Congressional leaders hid while the doors buckled from mobs seeking to attack them. People are dead. The Capitol is ransacked. Administration officials are resigning in protest.”

Russell Moore is a leftist stain on the SBC. The SBC I have observed has gone massively leftward with a Social Justice gospel in the last few years. YMMV depending on your individual congregation.

I have plenty of friends who intend on leaving First Baptist Atlanta due to the marxist infiltration there among "Bible Study Teachers". I doubt Pastor Anthony George can hold back that tide.

If this is the direction that the SBC is goingin, I can see it imploding eventually. It’s amazing how sobriety can go out the window once you give Leftists positions of power.

I’m glad you are not a member of Congress because we already have enough enemies in power over us.

They need to be taxed as a political organization, just as all major religions, because that’s what they’ve all become.

All last year our Leftists defended "mostly peaceful protests" while rioters burned, robbed, attacked police & killed innocents.

Now President Trump calls on supporters to make a peaceful protest at the Capitol, things got out of hand, details of it are not at all clear, and yet those same defenders of "mostly peaceful protests" now suddenly go berserk in their defense of "law and order" against the President.

Typical of Democrats -- if they didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

From his wiki page, “He earned a B.S. in political science and history..”. So that’s where his Marxism/ Anti Americanism/ Homosexualism indoctrination started.

I’m sure he’s angling for some Soros money so he can buy a personal jet and mansion.

Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention: I believe that today’s Southern Baprists are much more concerned with ethics (political and legal philosophies) then they are with morality (theosophy).

“””The Southern Baptist leader said he understands his stance might cost him his job, but admitted it’s a risk he’s willing to take. In 2017, more than 100 Southern Baptist churches displeased with Moore’s posturing during the 2016 presidential election threatened to withhold funding from the denomination.”””


I suspect Russell Moore has already been fired.

And if Russell Moore has not been fired, the Southern Baptist Leadership is in deep doo-doo

Many of these big ‘modern’ churches may not survive. When your draw was built on rock concert-type performances, self-help sessions and happy talk, most folks aren’t there for the spiritual side.

If you have a physical plant built to house thousands and you have now become just a TV show, the bills mount up.

Get woke, go broke to hell.

Not cursing, just stating Biblical truth.
