God Has Exposed the Falsehood of American Evangelical Christianity and its Leaders
The argument against supporting the former president is as simple as knowing the difference between right and wrong.
The recent conviction of the 45th president has caused the Christian Evangelical church to stray even further away from the Gospel of Christ and into the realm and darkness of worldly politics. Apparently, it is no longer a question of right and wrong, or sin, but a question of political ideology and maintaining power instead of preaching the Word of God.
Top Evangelical leaders continue to stand behind a man who have not only committed and been convicted of worldly crimes but have clearly transgressed at least two of the Ten Commandments in his crime; adultery and bearing false witnesses.
“Several notable Evangelical leaders have reacted to a Manhattan jury's decision to convict former President Donald Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the case of The People of New York v. Donald J. Trump.
Trump’s former attorney-turned-adversary Michael Cohen testified to the United States House of Representatives in 2019 that his former boss “asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair, and lie to his wife about it, which I did.”
Ignoring both the sins and the crimes he committed, their justification for their continued support is that the current President, Biden, is intending on running a game of “election interference,” to prevent the former president of running for another term. This is their reasoning. And like the rest of the followers, they all believe the reason people do not want him as president is because they dislike him personally.
In fact, these Evangelicals have convinced their congregations to look pass his personality, his crimes, and his sins, and trust in a blind prophesy that claims God anointed him to run the country, in 2016 and in the future. They swear that God chose this man for leadership, but where they got this revelation is beyond any bible prophesy and simply makes no sense.
God has never anointed a sinful person to run His governments. Any evil kings that ruled in the Old Testament either inherited the position or were chosen by the people, not by God himself. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” James 1:17.
The guy is an adulterer and a liar and the scripture says, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,” 1 Corinthians 6:9, Revelation 21:8.
Unless this man repents of his sins, he is bound for hell. So why would anyone believe that God is on the side of such as person and would appoint them to rule a nation? As always, the people of this country voted him into office, not God. The argument against supporting such a person is as simple as knowing the difference between right and wrong.
In their own words, Evangelicals leaders claim:
“Rev. Franklin Graham “What we saw today has never happened before, and I think for the majority of Americans, it raises questions about whether our legal system can be trusted."
Tony Perkins, the president of the Evangelical conservative advocacy group Family Research Council, shared his thoughts on the verdict in an X post Thursday, saying: “Our Republic only thrives when justice is blind, it dies when justice is blinded by politics and power. This is a sad day for our Republic.”
Jentezen Franklin, the senior pastor of Free Chapel in Gainesville, Georgia said, "“We prayed, talked for over an hour and he knew this battle would become severe,” Franklin added. “I am proud to have known this man and I will continue to be a friend he can count on. I know who I can’t wait to vote for on Nov. 5! Get registered to vote time is running out.”
Paula White, who served as a spiritual advisor to Trump during his tenure in the White House, described Thursday as “a sad day for all Americans as we watched firsthand the judicial system weaponized to go after President Trump for political gain.”
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., an outspoken Evangelical Christian, released a statement on X proclaiming that “Today is a shameful day in American history. “The weaponization of our justice system has been a hallmark of the Biden administration, and the decision today is further evidence that Democrats will stop at nothing to silence dissent and crush their political opponents.”
These so-called Christian leaders would rather trust in the political system of the world than have faith in God and obey His word. They are not true Christians but are men who have a form of godliness and deny the powers thereof. In the politics of left and right vs the gospel of good and evil; they have chosen wrongfully.
