I feel people missed the point on why people voted for Trump. We already knew he was a bad person, however he wanted to try to help us on hold on to our religious rights.
Some might say you compromised your principles in order to hang on to worldly power.
Where as Hillary wanted the opposite. She was far more interested in doing things that would give us even less rights.
Who told you that?
So we voted Trump because it was the only choice when it comes to religious freedom.
You had no choice, hmm?
I would add the CT has leaned left over the last few years. They tend to post liberal sided articles now including articles that are essentially "White people bad! Feel bad if you're white!". No surprise they are against Trump.
They could also be against Donald because they're right... "right" as in correct, not politically "right," that is...
Here are some good quotes about whats wrong with CT's statement:
It’s true that this also speaks of disunity within our ranks. But where is it written that we must have political unity to be one in Christ? That we must have the same view of the president to stand together for the larger cause of the gospel?
This isn't about political unity, it's about
moral unity. Is Donald a "good" person because he's been giving you what you want?
As I’ve said many times before, when we stand before God on that day, He will ask us what we have done with Jesus. Not what we have done with Trump. I’m aware, of course, of how the secular media will spin this. Galli’s editorial will be used to deepen the divide between us.
Indeed -- this editorial
will be used to deepen the divide...
Trump Blasts Christian Magazine that Called for His Removal
Franklin Graham’s followers rage at his father’s magazine: ‘Christianity Today is an accomplice to the immoral left’
and look how quickly they're tossing
Christianity Today aside, choosing instead to stand by Donald.
It will be used to make rejection of Trump a litmus test for true evangelical Christianity. (Ironically, in other circles, it is support of Trump that serves as a litmus test of one’s true faith.) It will be used to discourage evangelicals from voting for Trump, if not to shame them from voting for him.
It should be used to make rejection of
sin a litmus test for true evangelical Christianity.
Vanity. Wrath. Greed. Lust. Envy. Gluttony. Sloth. A Christian is supposed to
repent of their sins. What we've seen of Donald is that he
revels in them...
and encourages his followers to do likewise.
Any other president who did any of this would be (and has been) condemned as immoral... and rightly so. What makes Donald immune?
Tell the truth -- which of these sins has Donald
not exemplified and profited from in his public life?
I agree with Galli that, under the current administration, there has been a dumbing down of the idea of morality. And it’s true that many evangelicals now wink at things that once grieved them, thankful to have a man like Trump who will stand up and fight (many would say, “Finally!”).
But that doesn’t mean we remove him for his alleged dumbing down of morality. It means we are careful not to lose our own morality in the process.
The stakes are very high, and our nation is dangerously divided. Let us be sure that, as God’s people, we do not follow suit.
If you look here on this forum, we indeed have come to that last thing he said.
And it is not for you or I to judge who has succeeded or failed in that regard.
All I can say is, Matthew 16:26 was
supposed to be rhetorical. I hope we haven't found an answer.
