They may not approve of his life, but unlike the democrats, he will not go after what is important in THEIR lives. Democrats offer nothing to Evangelicals except more attacks on their beliefs and lives.
Voting for a thrice-married, twice divorced man known for extramarital affairs, cavorting with
Playboy models, vulgar talk, and an itchy Twitter trigger finger — to say nothing of the accusations of racism and sexual harassment or worse against Trump — certainly opens socially conservative Christians up to charges of hypocrisy. It also arguably makes it harder to reach other Americans, including young people, with their religious missions, or work with fellow Christians in communities of color.
But these consequences pale in comparison to voting for a party that stands opposed to the issues nearest to conservative Christians' hearts. As conservative Christian commentator Erick Erickson put it, the Democratic Party "offers me no home and is deeply hostile to people of faith. The president has shown himself to not share my faith convictions any more than the other side, but the president has shown he is willing to defend my faith convictions and is supportive of them."
Erickson didn't vote for Trump in 2016, but
announced earlier this month that he plans to do so in 2020. Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee was one of the most steadfast "Never Trump" social conservatives. He too
has said he will endorse Trump in 2020.
Religious conservatives will never abandon Trump
I just can’t get over how stupid this article is.
“Well democrats don’t give a shit about evangelicals therefore Trump automatically does for some reason!”
Hey assclowns. No one is expecting you all to cozy up to democrats. You can think whatever you want about them. It just doesn’t make any goddamn sense to choose Trump instead...
Sure it does. His job was to whip crooked Hillary's ass, and he did! We couldn't have picked a finer man than Mitt Romney, and you guys made mincemeat of him, but hey, he didn't sully himself while you guys claimed he personally gave some guy's wife cancer and was going to take away grandma's social security. To whip the Clinton's who are gutter fighters, you need to run a gutter fighter. Romney was great at gutter fighting when he was attacking his fellow republicans like Gingrich, but, he turned into a ***** cat when it was time to tear back into the Lefties that were tearing into him. I'm sure you guys love it when we run guys like Papa Bush, McCain, Romney or Bob Dole.
Back in biblical times, about 890 BC, Israel came to be ruled by pieces of real scum: Ahab and Jezebel.
They abused their position, stole from those they ruled and engaged in pretty much whatever immorality appealed to them in the moment, and they ruled for something like 40 years or so, the nation could not drive them from power and suffered under their rule.
The prophet Elijah fought them continually, righteously, but without public support as Ahab and Jezebel were ruthless to those that opposed them, emotionally exhausted, God retired him, replacing him with the Prophet Elisha.
After a particularly vile act by this vile ruling couple, God's prophet Elijah, warns Ahab and Jezebel that they will die violently and she will be eaten in the street by dogs.
Well, Ahab died in battle and was followed by his brother Joram who ruled with the evil Jezebel. The Prophet Elisha anointed Jehu, a gutter fighter, to deal with these corrupt rulers, he anointed him and then RAN!
Well, commissioning Jehu was like firing a bullet out of a gun. Jehu put an arrow through Joram throat within the hour and then went straight to the royal palace where that evil ***** Jezebel was, sending word ahead that her death was coming.
She was waiting for him, dressed to the spades, staring out an upstairs window of the palace. Jehu ordered Jezebel's servants to
throw her from the window.
Her blood splashed on the wall and horses, and Jehu used his horse trampled her corpse. He entered the palace where, after he ate and drank, he ordered Jezebel's body to be taken for burial. His servants discovered only her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands—her flesh had been eaten by stray dogs, just as the prophet Elijah had prophesied.
See, for all your whining about Trump, it could be a lot worse!
But we love your accusations being leveled,
sotto voce, against all the "naughty" Christians who support Trump.
It's obvious that support for a political candidate does not mean a blanket endorsement of every aspect of that candidate’s life. It is merely an endorsement of that person’s policies and an assessment of his ability to perform in office. What’s more, it’s often not even a blanket endorsement of that, it’s a practical decision that Candidate A, while imperfect, is preferable to Candidate B. And support for Candidate A, barring some major breach of public trust or endorsement of public evil, does not reflect one way or another on the supporting voter.
You guys don't even draw a firm line against supporting folks that support infanticide and chopping up fetuses and selling them like auto parts. So I'm loving your self-righteous finger pointing and hectoring.
Unlike the Islamists, who the Left carries water for, we split Church and State. Jesus taught that what is human government's is human government's and what is God's is God's and we serve both. Mohammed taught the opposite, that there is no distinction between human government and his god's law, and you guys are fine with jihadists who have the goal of implementing Sharia by force.
Christians understand that we do not conflate the mission of the church, public worship of God, the administration of the sacraments, and the fellowship of believers with secular politics. They are simply not the same and Christians vote their conscience in freedom when it comes to affairs of state.
Your problem is that you think we should approach voting like you folks approach the forceful implementation of Socialism or the Islamist Jihad and it is your great good fortune that we don't.
But we do take great pleasure in how much you whine about our Trump, we love that almost a much as we love him tearing up the Fake News Media that operates as your lying ineffective propaganda organ. And are we going to love watching Comey, McCabe, Brennan and Crapper getting indicted and sentenced, if the evidence is sufficient to justify that.
The wise Christian judges a candidate or an officeholder on their ability to protect the peace and prosperity of the nation and its citizens. Sensible Christians require political leaders that will protect the right of the Church to worship freely and its members to practice their faith in peace.
Here's the dirty little secret, for all Trump's obvious moral shortcomings, he is no worse than than the self-righteous twits that attack him, in fact, he may be better and he's a damn sight more effective. If personal sin were disqualifying, who could lead? Christians in particular, for whom recognition of indwelling sin is both a predicate and a sustainer of faith, know this.
When I heard Hillary call us not only "Deplorable" but "Irredeemable" I was shocked and she didn't do this inadvertently, she made similar comments more than once, and she read them off the teleprompter, her campaign thought those vile accusations would further her candidacy! These were prepared accusations, and mind you, she's a left-wing Christian so she knows EXACTLY what IRREDEEMABLE means. Deplorable is one thing, that might get you a reeducation camp in a dictatorship, but IRREDEEMABLE? What is to be done with them? Is government going to secure their rights? Obviously not.
This was so outrageous, that I sat back in expectation for you guys to universally condemn her, but not only were you guys silent, you cheered your assent! That is when I knew, IT'S ON! When it's unavoidable, it's best to get 'er done! Putting it off at that point just let's the situation get so bad that at some point a Gentleman like Trump isn't enough, you have to go with a Jehu, so you see, our selection of Trump was an act of Christian mercy. Correction through constitutional acts and impartial application of the rule of law.
You're Welcome!
