Why a Biden presidency could be good for the Church

This is only my first day here, but I've already noticed that there is surprising interest in Politics. I prefer to leave my political beliefs to political sites, but this one crosses the line into the scope of this forum, IMO, and is interesting, so I thought I would share. It really does bring some useful thoughts, from a Christian perspective, to the recent election results in the US.

Why a Biden presidency could be good for the Church

I'm just including part of the content here:
"Like many of you reading this article, I voted for Donald Trump, which means I voted against Joe Biden. I have also written articles calling out the radical nature of the Democratic platform, drawing attention to Biden’s extreme, “transgender rights” position, and pointing to his continued shift to the left on abortion. And I have warned of the potential dangers of a Kamala Harris presidency.

Like many of you, I am deeply concerned about the direction America could be heading under a Biden-Harris administration, including potentially destructive dealings with China and Iran.

At the same time, I believe that the election of Joe Biden might be in the best interest of the Church of America.

How can I say such a thing?

Simply stated, it is because many of us Christian conservatives put too much trust in a man. (If you didn’t, fine. I said “many of us,” not all of us.)"

BTW, to see the content without the "popup" mask. Just stop the download just before the page shows up. If it doesn't work the first time, do it again and stop it sooner. This works for all sites that load the full content and then follow that with a screen hiding "sign up" popup. Very useful.

That's your takeaway?
Your powers of observation may be better than a lot of folks and you already figured out on your own what he was communicating here. I had already landed on some of it (I was no fan of Trump before the 2016 election) but I do think the author opened my eyes to some bad paths many of us were going down - and still go down regarding political figures. It has always given me the creeps seeing large crowds in second and third world countries carrying posters with pictures of a particular leader.

It is important to know that we need to put our trust in Christ, not other men. That being said, when a cop comes between me and a mugger, I put my trust in that cop to protect me as good gives him ability.

Interesting. What changed the tide for Michael? Anyone know? I knew this long ago. Why did it take him, a leader of sorts, so long to figure out he was in a cult? Blessings.

If I want to be up to date on when a politician does something wrong, I use sites that are hostile to him. The challenge, of course, is that they sometimes lose credibility by finding fault in everything, just as sites that support the same politician find no fault in anything.

This is why it's important to avail yourself to multiple information sources from multiple political bents. It's critical, actually. It's why the recent soviet style purge of conservative voices in social media is so disconcerting. If someone is full of baloney, they'll out themselves or be outed by dissenting voices. If you just silence them, you give them credibility and call your own credibility into question.

But that is a subject for a different thread...
