Very well written article.
Jesus Hates Trump This I Know, For 'Christianity Today' Tells Me So
...
So yeah, Christianity Today, one of the most widely read evangelical magazines in the world, which doesn't really talk about politics that much, did an editorial on how Donald Trump should absolutely be removed from office, whether by a trial in the Senate or by the voters. It broke the internet last night. And Trump is MAD.
For editor-in-chief Mark Galli, it was clearly the Ukraine scandal -- the clear-cut, simple, and undisputed (by all honest people) fact that Donald Trump hit up a foreign country in need of our assistance and protection in order to help him cheat his way to re-election, for which Trump has now been impeached -- that made him and CT speak up:
That is not only a violation of the Cons ution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral.
The rhetoric of the editorial is stirring, especially if you speak fluent evangelical, and CT's readers do:
We have reserved judgment on Mr. Trump for years now. Some have criticized us for our reserve. But when it comes to condemning the behavior of another, patient charity must come first. So we have done our best to give evangelical Trump supporters their due, to try to understand their point of view, to see the prudential nature of so many political decisions they have made regarding Mr. Trump. To use an old cliché, it's time to call a spade a spade, to say that no matter how many hands we win in this political poker game, we are playing with a stacked deck of gross immorality and ethical incompetence. And just when we think it's time to push all our chips to the center of the table, that's when the whole game will come crashing down. It will crash down on the reputation of evangelical religion and on the world's understanding of the gospel. And it will come crashing down on a nation of men and women whose welfare is also our concern.

Very well written article.
So it's a far left publication for impeachment? Srsly?
Christians good now
its not far left. its an evangelical paper. it criticized trump, so of course donny tweeted about it, calling them "far left" which has no basis in fact
hence the thread le
It's far left according to leader. Evangelical Times (ET) bad now.
Most Christians don't give a about their faith. It's just another checked box when it comes to being a Republican in the US. They typically only care about the parts in the Bible that make them comfortable and they ignore the rest.
Helps rationalize their dislike of gays, weird brown people etc
Christians bad again. That didn't last.
... which means discriminating against/punishing women, non-Christians, LGBT.
Just thinking/saying what they're told to think/say....today.
"far left" per Trump. The le oozes irony.
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-s...stianity-todayAs the Washington Post’s Greg Sargent put it, “In an unwittingly self-revealing moment, Trump responded to the magazine’s indictment of his profound moral failings with an argument that is thoroughly transactional and megalomaniacal: How dare you criticize me, after all the power I’ve granted to your movement? You’re breaking our deal, and now you’re dead to me.”
Exactly. The president seems to believe he’s bought the fealty of certain cons uencies, and when he learns otherwise, he lashes out angrily.
Unfortunately for Trump, however, in this case, he’s helped prove his critic correct. The Christianity Today editorial characterized the president as a deeply flawed man who is “morally lost and confused.” His response was practically a confession that the assessment is true.
Not at all. Evangelicals have always been bad, IMO.
Their stance here, though, is consistent with their stance on Clinton. In this, at least, they are not as thoroughly hypocritical as the rest of the lot.
Sorry to see you feeding DMC's ego.
Some evangelicals have always been bad, some have not. Some are bad (whatever the that relative perjorative means) some of the times and not some of the times... Pretty much like any person. Your broad-brush characterization, as always, is lacking. Sorry to see you feed bouton's ego.
my ego is PERFECT, thank you
81% of so-called Christian evangelicals support Trash, a whole bunch more than "some are bad".
and of course the evangelical leaders/thought-dictators/indoctrinators ALL support Trash, which is why CT's support for impeachment is so deranging for You People
Perfect.:
You people.
WHITE evangelicals
are the hypocrites keeping trump in power and in this sense- they are no different than all other white hypocrite racists
they just use their religion to make themselves feel better about hating sinners - until they witness the criminal amoral traitor
then they conveniently look away
Cool story, bro. Not a smidgen of actual content. Just another day in the enlightened progressive echo chamber.
The evangelicals are sinners themselves
They hate poor people, they hate their enemies and they hate immigrants. Doesn't sound too Jesus like to me tbh.
My little , you have no cluePerfect.
You people.
Thanks for the Vitamin I.
Christianity Today sees surge in subscriptions after calling for Trump's removal
"A stereotypical response is
'thank you, thank you, thank you'
with a string of a hundred exclamation points"

To smite the unregenerate, any available rod will suffice.
The cost of criticizing Trump: Journalist leaves Christian Post amid its plans to attack Christianity Today
the longtime centrist-right evangelical magazine saw a rush of canceled subscriptions —
and an even greater wave of new subscribers, magazine President Timothy Dalrymple said.
he and the author of the editorial, retiring editor in chief Mark Galli,
could also face personal and professional consequences, according to interviews with several other conservative Christian leaders and writers
They described losing book sales, conference attendees, donors, church members and relationships.
Journalist Napp Nazworth, who has worked for the Christian Post website since 2011, said he quit his job Monday because the website was planning to publish a pro-Trump editorial that would slam Christianity Today.

Of course, evangelists who show ANY courage to call an abomination of President an abomination would be blackballed, intimidated, risking violence from the Christ-loving love-thy-neighbor Trash evangelicals.
