What in the heck?

Asking a political leader to look into corruption as he walks with my tax money is immoral? Holy Hyperbole...

He must be a Ray Boltz or Mary Mary Christian type.

Franklin Graham responds to CT editorial calling for Trump's removal: “My father would be embarrassed.
It is not going to change anybody’s mind about Trump. There’s a liberal element within the evangelical movement. Christianity Today represents that.”

The POTUS isn’t perfect and has flaws. In the Bible ...God used men like DJT... who were flawed but strong, determined, and a great leader. There’s nobody else who could have withstood the daily constant attacks like he has. Any other person would be curled up in the fetal position in a corner in the Oval Office.

Trump is protecting Christians’ religious rights and supporting Israel. Most Christians support DJT. They may not like his cursing during speeches or his huge ego and flamboyant and bombastic nature... but they like his toughness and leadership. He is what we need at this time in our history.... much like Churchill was for Great Britain.

He was also easily the worst president of your, or anyone else's, lifetime.

I think you are young or misinformed, maybe both

+ Probably the smartest (IQ) of any president in the past 100 years
+ Naval Academy grad with ZERO demerits
(only 3 SMC grads did this, Robert E Lee, somebody around the time Lee was in school, and Carter)
+ Returned to GA and took fathers near bankrupt farm back from the brink
+ Established the "Skunk Works" Reagan later took credit for
+ Devout Christian not one who just plays one for the camera
+ Established the Dept to Energy and the Dept of Education (cabinet level)
+ Established alternative energy research (killed by Reagan) and policy
(imagine being 30 years advanced on solar and wind that we are today)
+ Got Isreal and Egypt to the table and a peace accord (only president to do so)
+ Established grain embargo against Russia in response to their invasion of Afghanistan
+ Boycotted the Russian Olympics as well and not afraid to escalate against Russia

Post presidential he as devoted his life to public service over speaking tours and other money making ventures. While I love Nixon for being the bad arse in foreign policy I loved Carter for just the opposite.

The problem in the view of history is both were anti beltway presidents and did not cow tow to the Washington cave dwellers. If fueled Nixons demise and it fueled the "Georgia Cracker" image by the media for Carter.

You must be forgetting the "helping the poor, downtrodden, oppressed" mantra that the Dems use to tug at the ole heartstrings. Older Christians still fall for that BS, thinking they are doing the "Christlike" thing.


Yeah I get it, but charity is willingly given. Forcefully taking from others through taxation so you can feel better about yourself is theft, nothing more.

"Profoundly immoral."

Christianity Today limps along seeking relevance.

This has less to do with a principled morality and much to do with pandering to an audience that is at best indifferent but mostly inimical to them and the Jesus and his Church for whom they claim to be speaking.

It's not likely to increase circulation or convert sinners. In fact the self righteous smugness they exhibit blinds lost sinners giving them an excuse to ignore and ultimately reject Christ.

Have they taken on the burden of publishing articles on the Church's obligation to pray for all holding public office? Especially the President? Of removing the log in their eye before trying to take the splinter from their brother's?

Who among you without sin, you cast the first stone. I'm almost certain the poor girl caught in adultery is thanking Jesus the editors of Christianity Today weren't in the crowd that day.

Hypocrites and white-washed tombs. Den of vipers. They're voting for a fallen, sinful person just like themselves, subject to all the same failings, temptations, and weaknesses. Where in their damned editorial are the grace, mercy, and love of Christ to be found?

Color me pissed off! And, get off my lawn!

That's not a real Christian. That's someone who attached themselves to christianity in an attempt to change it. Kind of like a lesbian priest, I read about a year or so ago, who removed the crosses from her church.

Because to legit Christians, trump may not be ideal... but his platforms aren't oppressing and ridiculing Christians like Democrats do.

Because Trump isn't surrounded by dispensationalist evangelicals who want us at war in the Middle East in hopes that the Rapture occurs. His natural opposition to war gives him numerous enemies.


The author of this peace is one of those soy-boy evangelicals. Not one of the rednecks who want to have perpetual war in the Middle East.

Until the day he dies, Jimmy Carter will always support a Presidential candidate who will support the right of a woman to kill her unborn child up until the point that the head pops out of the womb.

And there's not a damn thing about that that's Christian, no matter how many Sunday School classes Jimmy Carter teaches.
