"It’s true that Mr. Trump has things in his past that he should be ashamed of. I cringe at Christians who exalt him as if he’s a godly champion."

I cringe at Christian pastors who feel entitled to throw the first stone. Does the author not have things in his past that he should be ashamed of?

“Welcome to the party, pal!”

Perhaps a little too Matthew 11:25 wise and he missed it the first time?

But no worries. Now his rear view mirror sees more clearly, so all sins forgiven.

Here in the trenches, we’re all believers on the same team fighting against evil in high and low places.

Once upon a time, David was all He needed to knock down one giant, uncircumcised Philistine and take his head and the world still marvels. It’s one of my favorite stories in the Bible.

But ... this time we’re up against an invisible, swamp-raised, multidimensional, multinational hydra that fights to advance Satan’s agenda with the power of the US government and IT now has us all by the short hairs!

And, as usual, per the biblical template, could it be that the wise “experts” once again missed the one He chose to His Will to fight this evil within US?

Because, apparently, this time He sent us the one the wise “experts” laughed at and never took seriously: Donald J. Trump!

And all of the swamp’s weapons fired against him miss and more often than not, it falls back upon those who sent it ... sooner or later.

Fascinating.

I said the deadline for supporting Donald Trump was the convention in 2016 and really one should have been on board much earlier. After the convention you were essentially the political enemy. Coming over 4 years into his Presidency is so late as to be ridiculous if one is supposedly on the conservative side. At least in this instance the Never Trumper isn’t deciding after the election he kind of likes him so I’ll give him that. Welcome to the party pal!

He admits he was wrong about Trump in 2016. What more of an apology can you expect? He is clearly stating that he is encouraging Christians to vote for Trump in 2020.

I am willing to forgive him of his past error, and welcome him into the group of pro-Trumpers. This will only help Trump with Christians in November.

Mr. Trump’s record has been surprisingly good on Christian issues

It took this guy this long to figure out Trump’s record was “good”? No wonder academics have taken a broad reputation hit in the last few years.

I have a Ph.D. in church history studying the Puritans and am the pastor of a Reformed church and Mr. Trump struck me as a decline from the kinds of leaders Puritans would expect.

Oh, seriously? I am a conservative, but I enjoy electricity, refrigeration, flush toilets and automobiles. The Puritans would have called me a witch for the vitamins and smoothies I consume, not to mention my language in traffic jams, plus owning property as a woman. Does this loon think nothing surrounding an electoral decision has changed since the 1600s?

“..why listen to someone who was so wrong?”

We shouldn’t listen - but his message isn’t directed at us.

There are still millions of conservative Christians laboring under misconceptions about President Trump’s “character flaws”. They have been convinced by Leftist propaganda that Trump is not worthy of their vote.

These are the people who need to hear this - and I am grateful that he is coming clean.

Well said.

It is the people (possible voters) who need to hear the actual truth.
