Zone1 Pastor: They’re Not Deceived – Trump Evangelicals Are CHOOSING the Lies

One of the most disturbing and difficult-to-understand things about this whole period -- perhaps THE most disturbing and difficult-to-understand thing -- for many of us across the political spectrum, Left to Right, is the way evangelicals have supported this vulgar, dishonest, divisive, cruel, awful man. How can they do this, how can they justify this? The Christians in my family who are horrified by what they're seeing are still wrestling with this question.

This is a retired pastor who, in his characteristically calm and civil way, tries to help us understand what is happening here. He doesn't think these people are "stupid". He has a very interesting take, and for those who are interested in this important question, you might find it to be an interesting use of 20 minutes.


Pretty simple - he is better than what the left have done since 2000.
Trump, himself, is a flawed man. More than most. But the left are anti-religious, morally warped, anti-family etc., etc., etc.
There is no comparison between the two.
 
Leaving all politics aside....

Okay.

Donald Trump is in a position of power and has done a net good for this nation, words aside. He can be bombastic and insulting for sure.

So?

I mean that, as a Christian. So? How much time, energy and effort should I spend on a man who is no relation or acquaintance of mine? As a Christian, I have bigger fish to fry. Don't you?

Hey Mac1958 why did you laugh at this?

Are mean tweets worse than hacking the genitals off children because they think they're in the "wrong body"?

Are Trump's words worse than allowing women who are far advanced in pregnancy destroy their babies in the womb because they're depressed?

Gonna answer or slither away?

The thread isn't about him, Trumpster.

Sorry.
 
Saying you believe in God and Jesus' mission then practicing Satan's way wont work for you dear. It is written:

In Gospel of Matthew 7:16–20, Jesus says: “By their fruit you will recognize them… Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.”

In Epistle of James 2:17, 26: “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead… As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”

In Epistle to the Galatians 5:22–23, Paul describes the “fruit of the Spirit”: "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."

Again, the metaphor is fruit — what grows naturally from a transformed heart.

Oh. I'm practicing "Satan's way"? That won't work for ME?

Why, because I don't really care what Trump posts on Truth Social?

WOW, that's actually hilarious

You are right

Trump gave us the worst Pandemic in 100 years.
The worst recession in 80 years
The worst civil unrest in 50 years
Concentration camps
Shooting civilians in the street.

There's just no comparison between him and other presidents. They were professionals.
 
The thread isn't about him, Trumpster.

Sorry.

You started it. You go on and on about the sick and twisted morality of Trump, right? For what? Mean tweets? Making decisions you don't like?

Nothing to say about late term abortion or gender surgeries on minors?

Cat got your tongue....again

So you actually think that this thread is about Trump.

I'm sorry, but I don't respect your intelligence enough to respond.
 
Please stop being so proud and stubborn....open your eyes, heart, and soul....doing so, does not mean you support liberals or will politically align with liberals....release that stumbling block that is intertwined deep in you....imo.

please don't be angry with me....I'm not saying this out of hate for you or with some political posturing angle, or a holier than thou attitude, but truly out of love, and the good I see in you....

No need to respond, just think about it....

This is actually unhinged.

This is the speech you give a brother or sister in Christ when they are actively causing harm and are deeply in sin. For example, adultery, abuse, neglecting their children. Spreading a false gospel to knowingly mislead Believers.

I get this for.....not really caring that much one way or the other what mean things Trump posts.

Not for cheating on my husband, my taxes, stealing and murdering.

No, just for not joining the bandwagon.

That's really sad, and you know it, which is why you tell me not to respond.
 
So you actually think that this thread is about Trump.

I'm sorry, but I don't respect your intelligence enough to respond.

no, no, it's about your favorite boogeyman and your daily dopamine hit: how pathetic TRUMPSTERS are.

Okay, the thread is not about TRUMP but TRUMPSTER.

Now, answer the questions or slink away, again, defeated.
 
Doesn't look like it's thriving to me.

It looks like people are losing their jobs.

Paying more at the store.
Government jobs and illegal jobs new jobs are private jobs. CPI is low inflation is slowing wages are up. You must live in a democrat state
 
Nothing to say about late term abortion or gender surgeries on minors?

There's no such thing as a "late-term" abortion. When a pregnancy is brought to term, it is born. An accurate term would be "Late Trimester abortions", which only account for 1% of all abortions performed and are usually for pretty serious medical reasons.

(Or do you think there's a woman out there that goes through 8 months of morning sickness and body distortion and says, "Screw it, let's abort that sucker!")

As for "gender surgeries on minors", those are statistically non-existant.

there are 300,000 Transgender youth in this country. Only 5000 of them are even getting hormone treatments.

Yes Mac, we know you just love your "calm and civil". As long as someone talks like this mealy-mouthed person, they can condone ripping babies apart in the womb and doing gender surgeries on children and you either shrug or endorse.

Gender surgeries on minors were 13000
According to Do No Harm, between 2019 and 2023, there were at least 13,394 gender reassignment procedures nationwide on individuals 17.5 years old or younger, with the youngest 7 years old.

“Procedures” are defined as either the use of puberty or hormone blockers, or gender reassignment surgeries such as mastectomies and penile reconstruction. The organization reports that of those, there were 4,160 breast removal procedures on minors and 660 phalloplasty procedures.

Do No Harm Director of Programs Michelle Havrilla said in a statement that "body modification surgeries such as so-called vaginoplasties and phalloplasties are irreversible. The majority of these patients will end up with life-long complications related to these procedures."

"Calm and civil"

Oh my, the absolute abject terror these pearl-clutchers will feel when Jesus the Christ returns on a white horse with a sword and his robe dripping in blood......

Mac thinks he will be on the horse, of course, judging the Trumpsters
 
Uh, guy, are you paying attention to the layoffs.

Amazon
Target
UPS
T-Mobile

Do these sound like "government jobs" to you?
300,000 useless government jobs and 3 million illegals deported 32000 state government jobs lost. All new jobs are private sector jobs and they will continuse to grow.

Did you actually read your own article?

So what I'm noticing is that there are no numbers here for vaginoplasties, the most signifigant GAC
