I'm not really sure where these anti-Trump evangelicals stand on key-note (to ME) issues like abortion, lgxbtabc "marriage". The NY Times seems to focus only on their disagreement with Trump on immigration.

non-political my ass.

The fact that they were only formed after Trump’s election and not during Obama’s term or to fight against gay marriage or abortion tells me all I need to know.

The leftists are successfully hijacking the churches and twisting God’s word.

If you are looking for Godliness, I suggest you do not look to politicians at all.

he was disappointed that Obama “caved” to Republicans and his only trouble with Hillary was the difficulty in swaying Evangelicals to vote for her because of abortion but on the other side, “Trump”, so...

Really, it's too late now to analyze their issues. The anti-Trump people of any category at this point are enemies of human civilization.

If they have to boast of following Jesus more than others by over dramatically proclaiming themselves “Red Letter” I immediately distrust them.

A critique of evangelical Christianity written by a liberal Jew for a paper with one of the most misinformed and biased Religious Affairs departments ever? Seems legit to me.

I know what is of God:

- protecting unborn children is required by scripture,
- following the law (including for illegal invaders) is required by scripture,
- armed self-defense is at least endorsed, if not required by scripture,
- working as a prerequisite to receive charity is required by scripture,
- judging individuals based on their actions and their hearts rather than their ethnic origins is required by scripture,
- rejecting the idea that marriage can include two men, two women, or some other combination other than one man and one woman is required by scripture,
- rejecting the far-left politics of envy is required by the Ten Commandments and by scripture in general.

Nope. while there are several issues on which the republican establishment deviates from scripture, I cannot find a single issue on which conservatives are in the wrong.

Since their loss in 2004, the Democrats have tried to control the narrative of their issues and cast them in a biblical light (Jesus would be for socialized medicine, Jesus would be for open borders, Jesus would be for same sex marriage, etc. and FALSE).

It is a mistake to expect the secular government to be “of God”.

He doesn’t work like that.

This is just like code pink which claimed to an anti-war outfit but was just a propagandistic anti-Bush outfit. Once Obama was in office and EXPANDED the wars, code pink disappeared. Until Trump got into office.

I would love to ask these “pastors” to name me one person in scripture outside of Jesus that did not sin against God? It always seems these lefty preachers do not need God as they are perfect already.

He’s not holding a revival.

It’s political rally disguised as Christianity.

Revivals have to do with confronting people with their sin and urging them to turn to Christ.

It’s not making political statements and making men like Falwell and Trump their targets.

The guy is a fraud.

I know a few people who are Christians that are on the anti-Trump train.

I understood it during the election. They were not for Hillary either.

But they are anti-Trump now, and I think they are turning into hypocrites now.

They are now questioning the Christianity of those who voted for Trump.

I was anti-Hillary during the election, but I’m pro-Trump now because he is following through on his promises.

I’ve pointed out the good things he’s done. Lim not a fan of some of his Twitter, but he’s doing great things:Isis being defeated, Gorsuch on the Supreme Court, and now North Korea.

I think my church is turning liberal too. If course, I’m in California. The women’s Bible study is more conservative than the regular younger pastors. I stick with that.

These are the so called believers given over to the anti-Christ Spirit, where the TV, Social Media, Movies, MSM (the images that both move and speak all tell them whats true)

President Trump represents a push back against that growing evil in this nation (and across the world) No matter who or what he is, its only a temporary setback for them, no one will be allowed to challenge it in the future, that is what all of this is really about,

The ‘ant-trump Evangelicals’ are not aware of this spirit at work, they cannot see it on their doorstep, at best they’re deceived and need to wake up and at worst they embrace it like this current Pope,

Leftism is predicated on irrationality, falsehood, immorality, and hatred.

It is not of God. It is of the enemy of God.

Reds. Their gods are Marx and Baal. These are not Christians.

It's a democrat front group... same as the ‘vote vet’ or whatever that anti-Trump group calls itself.

Democrats have dumped the Black Lives Matter and Antifa and other violent groups in favor of fake ‘patriotic’ groups. This is AstroTurf probably financed by George Soros.

Best thing to do is check CraigsList etc to see where democrat thugs are advertising for 'religious types' ....
