Christianity Today Betrays the Truth: Mark Galli's Op-Ed is a disservice both to the Christian community and to the nation as a whole
American Thinker ^ | 12/21/2019 | Bill Thomas

Posted on 12/21/2019 8:05:26 AM PST by SeekAndFind

In a December 19, 2019 editorial, Mark Galli, the editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, opines that President Trump should be “removed from office.” This conclusion by Christianity Today’s editorial board is disheartening and, in profound ways, does a disservice both to the Christian community and the nation as a whole.

Let’s be clear from the beginning. One does not have to support President Trump or the Republican party to be a Christian. One does not have to be an American to be a Christian. These truths ought to go without saying, but I think they need to be stated. Why? Because the truth matters. This editorial position is wrong, not because it is anti-Trump, but because it is anti-truth.

In the editorial, Galli acknowledges, “The Democrats have had it out for him from day one, and therefore nearly everything they do is under a cloud of partisan suspicion. This has led many to suspect not only motives but facts in these recent impeachment hearings. And, no, Mr. Trump did not have a serious opportunity to offer his side of the story in the House hearings on impeachment.”

These facts, cited by Galli, ought to matter. Yes, there is good reason to seriously doubt anything the Democrats throw up against this president and his administration. Yes, their motives may certainly be questioned. Furthermore, there wasn’t due process during any part of the so-called “hearings.” Galli acknowledges these truths. However, it’s at this point, that he and the editorial board abandon the truth.

The next line in the editorial shows CT’s betrayal of truth. Galli writes, “But the facts in this instance are unambiguous: The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. ”

HERE's THE TRUTH:

No, Mr. Galli, that is not a fact. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said there was no blackmail involved during a telephone call with President Trump.  The Ukrainian president himself denied there was a “quid pro quo.” Furthermore, there is no evidence that President Trump sought to have the Ukraine harass or discredit Joe Biden. In fact, Zelensky has gone on record asserting the opposite. He says he was not pressured to investigate the Biden family during their now-controversial phone call over the summer and, when asked about it replied, “Nobody pushed me.” 

Again, you don’t have to like the president or agree with this defense, but to assert that the facts are “unambiguous” is a lie.

Get Woke, Go Broke.

I can’t imagine any real Evangelical Christian ever reading that rag ever again.

The purpose of the Democrat Party is to deny God and to destroy all of Christendom.

That’s the truth.

Galli is one trying to make a name for himself. Unfortunately in this day and time people with opinions without anything to support them have ways of getting attention. I personally people like this are Evil. You are entitled to your opinion but you should have to prove what you say with facts if you go public.

Christianity Today is a pro-open borders group masquerading as a Christian organization. I wonder how much federal money they are getting through the Christian charity scams?

That link you provided shows Soros funding Jim Wallis’ Sojourners group, not Christianity Today.

I really don’t know why we should be surprised. Christianity Today has been liberal for a long time, at least 20 years, and now have joined the left in the lies they spin about our President. Evangelicals now have the responsibility of carrying the true message of the cross and what it means to humanity. The others are making up their own religion and too often, it is political.

Article: “The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. ”

This is a lie. President Trump asked a foreign leader to look into possible corruption. Why? Because VP Biden bragged about withholding $ until Ukraine fired a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. This occurred during the same time that Hunter Biden was on Burisma’s board as a highly paid member.

Instead of looking to Christianity Today for moral guidance, Mr. Galli, May I suggest a better source? The Bible. Google it.
