In September, 2016, I talked with a very prominent evangelical leader whom I deeply respect He told me that he did not know anyone on his huge board of directors of more than 50 prominent evangelical leaders who supported Donald Trump for president. But—except for a very few courageous evangelicals like Russell Moore, Michael Gerson and Max Lucado—they did not have the courage to speak out publicly.
People tout being against abortion and same sex marriage as a reason to support an immoral man. What I can't understand is doesn't the GOP have someone else who can hold their parties' same agenda without all the smelly baggage. Is DJT the best their party has to offer? If not, the GOP is more serious trouble than we thought.
Why haven't those who hold these beliefs demanded a better leader a better candidate than DJT. I can take Scripture after Scripture to prove the case that this man should not be the country's leader. I can hardly read the Book of Proverbs anymore because I see all the things in DJT God says not to do or who not to follow. Proverbs 6 has a list of things that state things God calls an abomination. DJT fits about four or five. Depending on how one interprets it he may embody all seven things God says He hates. The abomination of stirring up conflict is enough to disqualify him from leading this country. There is still time before the GOP Convention to find another qualified candidate. If the center keeps quiet this time round they deserve all the condemnation that is heaped on therm.
Maybe it's not too late for Trump to learn how to go beyond "me & my family first" and "unborn lives matter" to also advocate: black lives matter, native Americans matter, creation care matters, equal opportunities matter, every American matters, every immigrant matters, and all nations (not just Israel) and races (not just Jews) matter. In Jesus' name. Amen?
I was extremely disappointed to see you were editor of the book about Trump, and even more disappointed when I heard you were still a Democrat. I seriously believe the Democrats are aggressively taking away Religious liberties and pushing for anti-Christian values. I believe they are behind taking prayer and Bible reading out of schools in the 1960’s, pro-abortion, do their own thing choices, promoting homosexuality, ruling against the Biblical view of marriage, encouraging welfare vs work, using illegal immigrants rather than US citizens, and the list goes on. I realize Trump is far from perfect, but he does stand up for Christian values. Plus, the media continues to twist the truth, so how can you tell what is honest. I believe the persecution against Christians and Christian values will reach a new high if Democrats gain the presidency and senate and house. Again I lost respect for you to write that book right now.
Trump did condemn the Neo Nazis, etc., The "fine people" he was referring to was not them:
Trump:
It’s fine, you’re changing history, you’re changing culture, and you had people – and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats – you had a lot of bad people in the other group too
How can Christians vote FOR abortion? Abortion is a horrible injustice which takes the lives of over 2,000 DAILY in the US alone. Trump is a friend of the unborn and his policies back that up. Biden and the Democrats are the enemy of the unborn. Trump is rough around the edges, but loves our country and embraces and supports just policies.
