The Donald is doing what any smart don would do — offering protection, and choosing a side. And have you noticed his self-deprecating comments about “not deserving” support from Evangelicals. I think Pence is working on him.

Re: Jews — just saying it’s a HUGE part of the alt-right Zeitgeist out there, and I expect it will bubble up in time. I’m a half-Jew myself, and when I see Jewish name after Jewish name attached to political treachery, I get a sense of what it’s like to be a law-abiding, conservative black man. Interesting times.

Bringing Christians under the umbrella of his plan will result in his being blessed, though. Even if he never planned it to be that way.

And my father was Jewish and I was raised nominally that way, but I later came into Christianity due to a credible encounter with the Savior.

Decades and much bible learning later (in both testaments), I believe I have a larger, better picture. It’s really about God after all, and only peripherally about people. While God is desiring to invest Himself in people, He is also never forcing anyone to do it, or asking them to do so for the sake of mere self-interest. He seeks to be accepted for the sake of His merit, which means that refusal is an option that He permits.

The bible shows both Jews and Christians doing some incredibly stupid things. If this was a story to flatter Jews and Christians it would not read this way. But this is an honest story about the glory of God.
