“The Kingdom of God is not represented by either party. How do we practice the politics of Jesus? And there's no perfect candidates here. What do we think the politics of Jesus are?"

Apparently, the politics of Jesus to this guy do not include honesty (witness the vague tropes about "racism" in this screed), but include abortion AND infanticide, unfettered sodomy, unbridled socialism, and abrogation of national sovereignty.

When presented with a choice of leaders, one should evaluate all sides and choose that which is most Godly. This fellow roundly rejects the only candidate who resembles biblical ideals at all.

RE: He should become Catholic since he pretty much agrees with Bergoglio

Or, Bergolgio agrees with him and should be a progressive evangelical. Wallis has been saying this LOOOONG before Francis was elected Pope.

I was just thinking - is this Wallis guy about to announce he’s being having gay sex with some male church intern for the last 12 years and is leaving his wife and family - you know, because he’s brave, and stuff.

The MSM parades an endless stream of people who are allowed to confidently proclaim Trump is a racist but none of them seem to be able to come up with a quote or something he has actually done to support their claim. It’s almost as if...

Well I’m pretty damn sure what they’re NOT — abortion on demand right up until (and sometimes after) birth. And Jim’s gotta know that those are the politics of the Democrat party.

No, Wallis and Bergoglio both need to stand at the back of Church, not daring to raise their eyes, saying "O God, be merciful to me, a sinner."

There's a lot of need for that, all around, I'd say.

Jim Wallis preaches a false Christ, so his opinion on any matter of Christianity DOES NOT MATTER.

But if it did there are 2 questions to ask him and his ilk. One, what is your evidence that Trump is a racist, or even a white nationalist? Two, why is white nationalism any worse than, oh say, black nationalism?

Are we one people, or are we divided. If we are divided, this evangelical is on my own side.

So-—what then Mr Wallis? Support those that kill children after being born? Support those that exploit the poor in order to gain power——and that divide us? Support those that want to leave you defenseless? Support those that want to remove Jesus from our society? My goodness, you will never get it...

It maps to the standard DNC roadmap.

Infiltrate all denominations.
Explain to parishioners they need to be open to all members.
Move their key people into leadership rolls.
Explain why scripture is wrong.
Surprise, I’m gay.
Denomination is destroyed.
Move on to the next one.

Wallis isn't an abortion enthusiast. He's a supporter of what's called the "consistent life ethic", a kind of nonviolence "no kill" position on abortion, euthanasia and the death penalty.

I am not a pacifist and disagree with the "consistent life" thing as presently formulated, but I do think it's distinguishable from shilling for the Culture of Death, which is what most of the Christian Left seems to be doing (though there are notable exceptions.)

BTW, Wallis' wife was one of the first women "ordained" as "priests" in the Anglican Church. I consider that a pretty grave religious distortion, but not sufficient reason to insinuate anything about her personal character.

Arch heretic and false teacher Wallis needs to repent and follow the real gospel of Jesus Christ. All that he does now is lead others to perdition!
