Evangelicals and Trump: Why as an Evangelical, I Support President Trump Despite His Flaws

I don’t know Michael Brown and I certainly don’t know Nazz Nazworth.....WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE???? …

Michael Brown is ethnically Jewish and an ordained Christian minister. He has been fighting the good fight against the normalization of homosexuality for a long time.

RE: resident Trump is our Samson. Just as the uncouth, long-haired Sampson was Called by God to save and judge Isreal, I believe that President Trump has also been called for the same reasons by God Himself.

Granted that he is similar to Samson, let us not forget what led to Samson’s tragic end in the first place.

If Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniels, we should not condone or defend what he did, just as we do not condone Samson’s dalliances with Philistinian prostitutes.

RE: But having read this, I’m not impressed with either one!

OK, can you tell me what part of the reasoning in this article you don’t agree with?

[stars & stripes forever]

GOD looks at the heart. King David was no saint either. It’s time for the CHURCH to stop judging PRESIDENT TRUMP and examine itself. How many clergy publicly weigh in on the issues of the day? The silence is deafening.

[Tennessee Nana]

I’m not a so called ‘evangelical’ whatever that means, but as a Christian I support President Trump ...

[Harpotoo]

Thank GOD for President Trump! To me the Pope, the church, the Rabbinical, the Dali Lama etc are part of the Post Abortion Democrat Death Cult now. Their Silence is (for a few) Golden (coins).

Ghack!

The level of intelligence and reason hits an all time Low, if this verbose production is the standard for “evangelical” conscription. It’s also barely a step up from the moron he’s debating.

Who debates morons, anyway?

[Obadiah]

For the record, let me say that I love Jesus more than all else, and not only did I vote for Trump, I will enthusiastically vote for his reelection.

Is Trump perfect? Of course not, but what possible value is there - at all - to snipe at him? To me, the more critical question is how could anyone who is an avowed Christ follower support anyone in the Democrat Party? Supporting anyone in the Democrat Party is voting for their leadership, their Moloch sacrificing leadership.

What part of his reasoning do you disagree with?

I don’t think the author is conscripting anyone to be an evangelical.

He is giving REASONS why evangelicals support Trump.

Not to butt in, but where do you stand on the value of this wordy chat piece? How deep, in your opinion, is the reasoning of the writer? I’d lean towards about as deep as a sheet of paper, but not quite. Why? Because the obvious is not interesting. Ever. Who finds intrigue or much reason in “Dick and Jane”. “See Spot run.” “Go, on green” and “ Stop ✋ on red”.

RE: Not to butt in, but where do you stand on the value of this wordy chat piece?

I agree with his reasoning.

Now my question to you is this -— exactly what part of his reasoning do you find incoherent?

Give me one sentence and tell me why.

[RitaOK]

Are you playing “teacher”??? ROTFLOLOL! You’re kidding, right? Never mind don’t answer that. 🙄 (Probably just snowed in, painfully bored and have succumbed to grandiosity that signals a touch of cabin fever.) Besides, I already asked you a question, in my initial comment. Check it out. Give your class a reply in one 25 word sentence and tell them why. PS: I’m not in your class. I’m your observer. 🧐

Despite His Flaws

I keep seeing this phrase used. I want a list of his so-called "flaws." The man is a business executive and now chief executive of a country. He is not a saint and is not running for sainthood. Great saints probably make poor presidents, Marcus Aurelius excepted.

RE: I want a list of his so-called “flaws.”

C’mon, you mean the man is flawless?

Let’s stop pretending that he is perfect.

Should I mention his affair with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal? Should we mention his Hollywood Access Tape?

So yes those are his flaws. And he tends to be an over-exaggerator as well.

Of course he is not a saint and the author acknowledges that, and the entire piece EXPLAINS the reasons why it is not hypocritical for an Evangelical to support him EVEN WITH THESE FLAWS.

No I am not. I am dead serious. Please answer my question.

RE: I already asked you a question, in my initial comment.

Yes, and I gave you a straightforward answer in Post #32 above. And I am still waiting for you to answer the question I posted in the same post #32.

[AndyJackson]

the entire piece EXPLAINS the reasons why it is not hypocritical for an Evangelical to support him EVEN WITH THESE FLAWS.

I rate THESE FLAWS on a scale of one to ten as MEH! and didn't need the lecture.

RE: I rate THESE FLAWS on a scale of one to ten as MEH!

They are MEH to many non-Evangelicals, I will concede that. In fact, these are not even illegal.

But Evangelicals teach MORALS and Want our society to be a more moral and Biblically based one. Hence, they are open to the charge of hypocrisy if they ignore these flaws.

Hence, this article.
