O, please. Mark Galli is not an Evangelical and his poopy-headed hissy-fit is a harbinger of nothing. Sounding brass and clanging cymbals.

By and large the “Evangelicals” who the media finds to trash Trump are of the same ilk as the “lifelong Republicans” that they find every election cycle, who are so appalled by [insert conversative candidate’s name here] that they are voting Democrat for the very first time.

Usually a little research reveals that these “lifelong Republicans” were officers in their College Democrats chapter and registered Democrats since 1996.

It sounds to me like that this ‘Doctor’ Jeffrey Haggray has demon-problems, and he needs a decent four-star exorcism to rid himself of Satan influences.

A well written and well argued essay.

Well worth reading.

Thank you for posting it and the link.

The bible quote that comes to my mind, though the author’s is also apt, is: You strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Matt 23:24

Trump is a serial adulter, has had several shady deals, and is rude.

He is a massive sinner, and in need of Jesus.

As Ambrose said “I sin, so i need to take my medicine”.
Trump is not God. He is a fallen man. So am I. My support for him is not because he is perfect, but because his stand on sex crimes, his stance against infanticide, and that fact he actually fights.

So all the “leaders” saying “Trump is not nice!” GOOD! Nice gets you killed. I want Trump to struggle to be GOOD, not nice.

Actual evangelicals (as opposed to evangelicals created by the imagination of the press generally don’t spend much time on politics and will guide the conversation to your relationship with Christ.

Fake news.

Exactly. Mark Galli has a telephone pole in his eye.

Right, Mark Galli is a Soros tool. His ties to Soros have been exposed.

I like the reference to The Letters. To us, U.S. stands for United States. For demonicRATS, U.S. stands for Uncle Screwtape.

Speaking of Screwtape, I wonder if “Soros” is Hungarian for Screwtape.

Very disappointed in Beth Moore. The wife loved her ladies bible studies. I even bought her the (expensive) one on Daniel years ago. I was struggling with how to break it to her that Beth has lost it and is a Trump bahser. Finally broke it to her after Church last Sunday, and I was so proud of her. She said “I know babe, I heard about it, researched it, and then threw all my Beth Moore studies in the trash”. That’s my girl!

One dilema that should not be is whether to tax churches that are political.

Another Bible passage that comes to mind is Daniel 2:41-46

41 “Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.”

Democrat disinformation. Heavily borrowed methods from their “retired soviet” handlers. America’s schools and News Media weren’t the only institutions that they infiltrated.

The American Baptist Convention is about 2-3% of US Baptists, and the most liberal of the Baptist organizations, while there are a few “evangelical” congregations within the ABC, it is generally considered in the “mainline” camp* rather than “evangelical.”

* “Mainline Protestants” ought perhaps to be re-named as “Sideline Protestants,” as they now comprise a shrinking minority of Protestants, especially when considering the burgeoning ongoing growth of independent “non-denominational” churches, which are 98% evangelical and generally follow theologies very similar to the Baptists.

President Trump unlike 80% of Republican and 99% of Democrat politicians is not a boozer or a pot head. He also lays it all on the table frequently and does not seem to be much of a hypocrite.

Ted Cruz has been a boozer since he was a teenager and refused to say that he had always been faithful to his wife when reports about questionable associations came to light. Yet he is still the darling of conservatives associates of mine who are currently closet “never-Trumpers”. When it comes to politics, hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Trump pokes a thumb in the eye of all the right people. That alone is a good enough reason to vote for him. He fights.
