The Archbishop of Canterbury says he doesn't understand why so many Christians in the U.S. support President Donald Trump. Justin Welby told ITV's Preston on Sunday program that he "really genuinely" can't comprehend why fundamentalists have provided such a strong base for Trump.

The simple answer is that Progressivism/communism/Socialism/Marxism are all Humanist ideologies. Humanism is the antithesis of Christianity.

The CoE, TEC, PCUSA, ELCA, UCC, and ABC are all Humanist organizations wrapped in cherry-picked verses from the bible that support their Social(ist) Gospel message. The UMC would gladly go Humanist except that their polity gives votes to Methodists in Africa, Asia, South America, and the SE USA so every four years, it votes to barely stay Christian.

Christians in the U.S. don't understand how a so-called Archbishop of the church of England thinks it perfectly ok to ordain perverts. So-called Christians who think like this man are blind to the truth and have no business leading Christ's church. They are reprobates who cannot discern their right hand from their left.

Agnostics rise to high positions in the Anglican Church.

What? The "leader" of a "church" that was manufactured by a man who sought to violate the Christian teachings of their time to "do his own thing" can't comprehend?

Weird.

Yes, he’s clearly baffled by a lot of things in life. He needs to work as a restaurant busboy for a few years to get centered.

Maybe he should stick his head out his window and see what is going on in HIS country and the rest of the world before he makes MORE stupid statements.

He might get all his news from the BBC - a.k.a. the British Bolshevist Channel.

Trump wrote Saturday evening, ".@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!"

Trump’s love for both Israel and for the Middle Eastern Christians who have been suffering under ISIS.

#25: "What would the Archbishop of Canterbury know about Christianity? "

According to church law, every Anglican clergyman must affirm The 39 Articles of Religion as a requirement for their ordination.

These articles of faith roughly conform to the Lutheran Book of Concord or the Methodist Book of Disciple. These documents are Christianity 101, which affirm the creeds and the divinity of Christ.

Sadly, most mainline Protestant clergyman fail to recognize the minimal requirements of their ordination, the requirements which they themselves have pledged to follow.

I’d tell the guy the same thing I tell my liberal friends who moan they just don’t understand why Trump voters do this or that or the other: ask one. And if you don’t know one, there’s your problem.

For Albion as per the royal engagement thread yesterday. It is a shame *this* man is not the Archbishop. However, he is also a reminder that not all is lost with the Church of England. :)

I’m equally baffled by those who consider the Archbishop of Canterbury a Christian. Maybe that’s what is confusing him, he is a heretic and this doesn’t understand spiritual things.

I am baffled that the Archbishop thinks we should have gone for Bill Clinton’s “WIFE.”!!!

They all want church exemption from taxes but want to be a political arm of their favorite party.
