‘This Is Not of God’: When Anti-Trump Evangelicals Confront Their Brethren

I hope he's not trying to make the case Hilly was the 'Christian" choice.
Huh!!!???

No..I'm in the religious forum...thus I'm in a philosophical mode...The Christian choice, IMO?

None of the above..pay attention to the local races. Remember that the kingdom that Christian aspire to..is not of this world.


THe Liberation Theology that is moving into the mainstream of Christianity, disagrees with that.

You got that right.
 
There are evangelicals concerned with spreading the word of Jesus Christ as the way to salvation, and there are evangelicals who expound a social justice/progressive political philosophy couched in Gospel terms.

The Red Letter Christians fall into the latter category.

The way to salvation isn't grabbing them by the pussy or cheating the people who have done work for you. I don't think lying is a requirement for salvation either.

Trump is definitely NOT the leader of the American nation. He is a pig, not fit to lead anyone. I am an American. As for people who call themselves Christians and support him, this is a disgrace.

You may have been born here. That's about it.

Yes. I am an American. I am proud to be an American. We don't salute filthy pigs like trump and pence here. The people who call themselves Christian and support these to are a disgrace to both their country and their religion.
Pray tell who was the "christian" candidate
 
‘This Is Not of God’: When Anti-Trump Evangelicals Confront Their Brethren

I've wondered how people of faith are viewing Trump..this article was an eye-opener--The article is ong..this is just a brief quote:

The night before Shane Claiborne came to town to preach at a Christian revival, he received a letter from the chief of police at Liberty University warning that if he set foot on the property, he would be arrested for trespassing and face up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.

At first glance, Mr. Claiborne hardly appeared a threat to Liberty University, a dominant force in Lynchburg, Va., and a powerful engine in evangelical Christianity. Wearing baggy clothes that he sews himself, Mr. Claiborne preaches the Gospel, lives among the poor and befriends prisoners on death row, modeling his ministry on the life of Jesus.

But to the leaders of Liberty, he was a menace to their campus. He and his national network of liberal evangelicals, called the Red Letter Christians, were holding a revival meeting to protest in Liberty’s backyard. Their target: Jerry Falwell Jr., Liberty’s president and a man who has played a pivotal role in forging the alliance between white evangelicals and Donald J. Trump, who won 81 percent of their vote.

Mr. Claiborne and his group are the other evangelicals. The Red Letter Christians, a reference to the words of Jesus printed in some Bibles in red type, are not the evangelicals invited for interviews on Fox News or MSNBC. They don’t align neatly with either political party. But they have fierce moral and theological objections to those evangelicals who have latched onto Mr. Trump and the Republican Party.

“Let’s go where the Christians are, go where toxic Christianity lives,” Mr. Claiborne said last year, when proposing the idea for a revival in Lynchburg at an annual retreat for the Red Letter Christians.

The revival last month was the most energetic of several recent attempts by Christians in various camps to confront what they see as Mr. Trump’s “court evangelicals” selling out the faith. The critics have written columns, and a book called “Still Evangelical?” They convened a closed-door summit last month at Wheaton College. A number of bereaved, eminent elders plan a procession to the White House soon to hand over their manifesto, “Reclaiming Jesus: A Confession of Faith in a Time of Crisis.”

Mr. Claiborne and his group were far more audacious, but they also faced disappointment, resistance and fear. They were taking on Lynchburg, a company town where Liberty University is the biggest employer. Their “Red Letter Revival” revealed the state of the evangelical church in 2018: The loudest voices and institutional power and money are with Mr. Trump; the dissenters are fired-up, underfunded and scattered; and the vast majority of pastors are silent for fear of dividing their congregations or risking their jobs.



I'm always amazed why people make ops, and cut and paste the opening of their link that contains


NOTHING to suppor their point.



Their is nothing in this op, about why this evangelical is anti-Trump.

Really we all know about the Evans around Trump and the Evans in general. They are the prosperity preachers and fake healers. Money = God to them.
 
Trump is definitely NOT the leader of the American nation. He is a pig, not fit to lead anyone. I am an American. As for people who call themselves Christians and support him, this is a disgrace.

Simple reality is that Donald Trump is President of the United States. I am Christian. I am American. I support the President who is doing his best to do what is best for this country. If anyone wishes to argue which policy is best for America, good deal, I am all for it. People who wish to bash our Presidents...I am not in favor of that; it brings shame upon all of us--not the President(s), but on us.

Trump brings us shame in my opinion, well most of us.

Yet the party that has historically demanded candidates who uphold their "family values" chose a lecherous pig who grabs pussies and says he has never asked god for forgiveness because he has never done anything that needed it

Examples? Are you blind? Even so, be patient. It all comes out in the wash.

Anyway, you should know it makes me very sad to know that you guys will be digging your own graves for a thousand years.

Somehow I'll get over it... lol

They are the real Christians.

What is a real Christian?

the type in the OP, you know the red letter Christians.

No, no. Explain to me in your own words what constitutes a real Christian. You seem to know.

Clinton got a blowjob from a consenting adult. Trump pays porn stars hundreds of thousands of dollars to not mention their affairs. 3 wives who were each cheated on, at least one while she was recovering from child birth, makes regular surprise trips through dressing rooms of young beauty contestants, braggs about grabbing women by the pussy, and has made it clear that he is either having sex with his daughter, or would like to. You got yourself a real winner in the morality department this time.

Shrug. Who cares?

Clinton lied under oath. That's what matters.
 
So you say....I don't have that Hot Line to God...i just have to read the Bible..and it does NOT preach a message of hate.
If you don't have a hotline to God, please allow me to fill you in. Liberals, even those who call themselves Christian, have always been divisive. Liberals hate.

I doubt any Christian, Liberal or Conservative hates if they are following Jesus-words.

The only time he became angry was when he threw the Money Changers out of the Temple for cheating people. Jesus would be one busy guy today cleaning out the WH and Congress.


YOu argue against Christians hating.


Yet immediately claim that Jesus would be angry and drive the "money changer" out of the White House.


That very much supports norwegen's point about liberals being divisive and hateful.

Throwing the money changers out for cheating people was far from hate. It was righteous anger. Something that is sadly lacking in our Government today.. we need to find a Politician with that character today

You do not know the difference between the 2? Neither do those who voted for Trump.



What we see today from liberals, is hate.


Is there one policy difference you have with Trump supporters that you don't consider evidence of them being bad people for disagreeing with your obviously right position?

Pure deflection. One finger pointing, 3 back at you
