Donald Trump: 'Russell Moore is Truly a Terrible Representative of Evangelicals'--Really?

CP Politics ^ | May 9, 2016 | Samuel Smith

[sonrise57]

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump believes that leading Southern Baptist Convention ethicist Russell Moore is a "truly a terrible representative" of Evangelicalism.

The Manhattan billionaire businessman-turned-politician, who frequently takes to Twitter to attack the character of his critics and opponents, lashed out at the president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission with a sharply worded tweet Monday morning.

"@drmoore Russell Moore is truly a terrible representative of Evangelicals and all of the good they stand for. A nasty guy with no heart!" Trump tweeted at 5:05 a.m. EST Monday morning.

"What is it that Mr. Moore did to earn the label of "terrible"?"

Russell Moore makes himself a political player by repeatedly lying about Jesus and the Bible to advance his leftwing agenda.

Here he is claiming Jesus was an illegal alien: "Russell Moore Responds: Jesus Was An Undocumented Immigrant - " youtube.com

This when the most basic knowledge of Jesus and his life/time includes the fact that he was born when both Israel and Egypt were part of the Roman Empire and not independent countries with their own immigration laws or borders.

There is no question Moore is a lying propagandist and not a Christian evangelic. The only question is: How much of the hundreds of millions of dollars of government funding for "resettling" illegals does Moore and his Baptist associates pocket? Poverty pimps with upturned collars!

Why is this not "terrible?"

Boy, try to read it again and more slowly.

These guys don’t make up evangelicals as if the entire population consists of them, because we have had multiple elections that proved this.

These are just grandstanding sore losers that now want to be catered to. They got their feelings hurt via actual votes, but can’t accept that they lost.

Read your Bible. God OFTEN used flawed men to work His Will. Jacob, Samson, David, Solomon, et al. Get a clue, Rev. God has raised up a flawed man to give America one more try at a revival before the Rapture. IMHO....the likes of Dr. Robert Jeffress from Dallas, and Jerry Falwell, Jr., et al, understand what God is doing with Donald John Trump.

Yes, the world around us will be going to Hades in a handbasket. But here in the U.S. of A., a Trump administration will be very kind and conciliatory to Christians; 180° opposite to Obunga and his muslim coterie.

Please don’t let the Corrupt Bastards Cabal now running both parties and Washington, DC gull you into a false sense of pious superiority. If you do, you’ll find yourself fighting against God’s plan.

Bottom line, it’s very simple. Get on your knees and tell God you’re dropping all your prejudices and preferences, and ask God to show you His Will in the matter. But ONLY do that IF you’re willing to obey Him.

Here’s a clue: Donald Trump had 16 other candidates, a dozen networks and thousands of pundits and talking heads castigating him and scoffing at him and discounting him for a year. And at the END of that year,he’s the LAST MAN STANDING, with the rest of them scattered in disarray. Chew on that a while, Rev.

NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING was said about his faith! Not a single word. Unless you make stuff up.

I found that out later

See post 35

So what is the application of this verse to the current election situation,.....If you are an evangelist shut up and become an American voter, no matter who you are for?

[Iscool]

Freeper friends-- I am an evangelical pastor who doesn't want to sit out this election or vote third party, but is having a hard time with Trump as a representative of the cultural rot I am so disheartened about. Help me process what is going on with these two.

Seems then one of the top things on your mind should be that huge city of London, the hub of Great Britain now has a a muzlim Mayor with ties to muzlims terrorists...There are now muzlims in the streets calling for sharia law...Thousands of double decker buses have 'glory to Allah' printed on the sides of them...

Any Christian in his or her right mind will acknowledge that Ted Cruz doesn't stand a chance of beating Hillary in an election...The last thing a liberal IN EITHER PARTY wants is a vocal Christian for President...

Trump is the ONLY one who has a desire and a chance of keeping muzlim terrorists out of the U.S...Trump is the only one (who can win) that's wants to search and monitor all mosques for terrorist activity...

Our Country is headed for disaster which will not be favorable to Christians...Trump is the only one who can and will preserve our Constitution and fight for America and Americans...There is no doubt in my mind that Trump has received God's blessing to carry out his plan for America, whether Trump knows it or not...

[Kit cat]

I have one other thing to ADD to your remarks when was the LAST time ANY POLITICIAN mentioned being able to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! where have ALL of our nativity scenes gone???? Not EVEN Cruz mentioned how a simple thing such as CHRISTMAS had been TAKEN from its TRUE meaning!!!! Once Cruz was BACKED by GOPe he ALSO jumped on the NWO bandwagon!!!!!

[Iscool]

Agree...

[meadsjn]

So what is the application of this verse to the current election situation, do you think?

Don't let a religious fruitcake dictate how you vote.

[.45 Long Colt]

Me either. We agree.

Surely you know about the cultural rot the SBC inherited when they brought Moore on board?

A lot of SBC folks would agree with you.

IMO, Russell Moore is an enemy of Christ and His Church. His “allies” in all those dark ecumenical alley’s and half-way houses proves this. As does his lying trying to propagate his illegal alien agenda.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Russell Moore must think that folks named Sun Wi, Kunta Kinte and Jesus Cruz were the bedrock and foundation of today’s modern “Evangelical World”.
There’s been hardly anything multi-ethnic about the Church over the past 2,000 years. It started out Jewish, went Greek, then Roman. It literally engulfed White Europe.
The same cannot be said of it’s flame in Arab, Asian or other nations for almost 1,500 years.
He forgets that the biggest and most successful Evangelists were of Anglo, Scottish, Dutch, or German blood.

A commie does have to lie though to get their point across to the target audience though....”NYT/WSJ/Time”....

[Roman_War_Criminal]

See my #132...

I think Moore is a lying imposter in sheep’s clothing who’s targeting Christians.

His circle of friends is more than telling.

[OrangeHoof]

Alright, try this on and see if you still believe that...

"Paul of Tarsus is Truly a Terrible Representative of Evangelicals"

Not to equate Dr. Moore with Apostle Paul and forget for a moment that it is Trump making the comment, if *any* candidate made such a statement, wouldn't you assume anyone who is a "terrible representative" of a faith must be a heretic and if you attack someone as a heretic, can you not also be attacking their faith?

If I say Billy Graham or Joel Osteen or Creflo Dollar or Fred Phelps is a "terrible representative" of evangelicals, aren't I also condemning that person's faith? Don't I also imply the person is a heretic whose words should not be believed?

The problem with tweets is they usually leave no room for clarification. But, at face value, I take Trump's words as a condemnation of Moore's faith.

[EDINVA]

Under these circumstances, you wouldn’t be attacking their faith; you’d be attacking their judgment. The individual’s judgment. There’s a difference between a person’s judgment on matters political or secular, and their faith.

I can say I don’t like this Pope and think he’s a terrible representative of the Catholic Church. Does that question his faith? Or the Catholic Church? Or its members? I think not. I just think THIS Pope has terrible judgment.
