There are millions of Democrats in evangelical churches, many long-time attendees. Their previous generation helped bring about the election of GA’s Jimmy Carter.

Can I ask a stupid question? Why does he talk about white evangelicals? He mentions white evangelicals more than once. What does race have to do with being an Evangelical Christian?

...ask this simple question: ‘Does Donald Trump’s behavior and policies fit with or contradict biblical norms?’”

They make an (lame) attempt at balance, but they don't ask about the same Q of Biden or any other possible candidate...

RE: What does race have to do with being an Evangelical Christian?

Here’s the truth many refuse to face..

ALL LIVES MATTER in the eyes of God.

The Moment you insist on adding a color in front of the phrase, you become a RACIST.

“Our plea is to white evangelicals to please take another look and ask, ‘Does this person measure up to biblical norms?’” Ron Sider, founder of Evangelicals for Social Action, told The Christian Post. “We are not telling you what to include. But please prayerfully think about that.

Well, I've thought about it long and hard when "this person" was Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, John F'n Kerry, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Chuck U. Schumer, Adam Schitt, Maxine Waters, Jesee Jackson and just about every one of the "urinalists" on ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC/PBS/Wash Post/NYTimes/LATimes/AP/Reuters/ and on an on...

The honest answer, from my perspective, is they all show up morally and ethically short of Donald J. Trump on any day of the week.

Fake Christianity is just as prevalent as fake news. One only has to only read the bible and look back to time when God set the rules for protecting a society and culture. God warned against his people being contaminated by other cultures with completely different standards. And yes Jerusalem had a wall around it.

Fake Christians define the rules by their own standards and not those of God. And they totally ignore the nature of humanity and they they think they can redefine those too. The end result is that every christianly beacon of light is destroyed while they claim it is God’s will.

The choice is clear for me. I will never again vote for somebody with a “D” behind his or her name.

So, these ‘Christians’ are telling us that voting for a pedophile who has a serious mental problem is what is ‘godly’ and ‘good for Christians’.

These people have been deceived and should no longer be listened to or even called ‘Christians’.

“We’re not just left-wing Democrats,” Sider said. “We are a whole range of views begging American white evangelicals to ask this simple question: ‘Does Donald Trump’s behavior and policies fit with or contradict biblical norms?’”

I don't like to question the sincerity of self identified Christians, but it's unavoidable here. What biblical Christian thinks in terms of asking white evangelicals to consider something when they vote? Do they assume black or Asian evangelicals are already considering that when voting, and whites are failing to do so? That would be kind of racist, wouldn't it?

Or, is it because black evangelicals are assumed to be mainly voting for Biden (maybe they aren't even thinking of Asians, which is typical of leftists)? In that case, why are they not posing this same question about Biden? Why wasn't the book written about both of them? Biden appears to fall far short of biblical norms.

Objectively, there is more information to indicate Biden's a sexual predator and has used his office to enrich himself and his family than Pres. Trump. The only logical reason for not including Biden in this is that they don't care whether he measures up to biblical norms.

I conclude therefore that these Christians are disgustingly insincere.

The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.

American Christianity has fallen into the heretical pit dug by marxism, Postmodernism, and critical race theory.

Put another way, they are wrapping a heretical pig in a Christian blanket.

If the authors think “culture” hasn’t been firmly against Christians since Jesus was crucified, then they lack credibility and self-awareness. And the argument that if a Christian doesn’t “own” the abortion plank of the Democrat party if they vote for a Democrat that supports abortion doesn’t hold water, either.

I am not impressed by professional religious journals. Subject doesn’t even matter.

I hope the author was paid well by George Soros and the Democratic/Media Party Oligarchs.

These folks are not conservatives. And their logic for voting left while not being truly left on the inside is disingenuous.
