Here's some stuff I would like to share that others have said & who I believe have been led astray from telling the truth...You decide if the Christian Right is really the Christian Wrong...I am only referring to this one place in time, but I do believe it will forever define our future Christian walk & our ability to bring others in to the arms of Jesus...
Evangelical Christian pastor Jeff Jansen, a self-described "prophet," said that he is "quadrupling down" on his prophecy that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated—despite his previous prediction that this would happen by the end of April failing to materialize...Jansen, who heads Global Fire Ministries International, has repeatedly claimed that Trump is still the legitimate president. In March, he baselessly claimed that the U.S. military was actually leading the country and that they would likely reinstate Trump by the end of April. Although that prophecy has not come true, the evangelical "prophet" still appears confident that God has given him future insight into what will come to pass.
'No regrets': Evangelicals and other faith leaders still support Trump after deadly US Capitol attack...Headline from USA Today on 2/1/2021... Like millions of other Americans, Franklin Graham watched the disturbing images of last week's riots at the U.S. Capitol with swelling concern and anger.
Graham, son of the late evangelist Billy Graham and head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said he was sickened to see "people attack my Capitol and break down the doors of my Capitol" and was dismayed to see how President Donald Trump riled up the protesters.
"I don't think it was the president's finest moment," he said
But Graham said he doesn't expect the tumult at the Capitol to deter evangelical Christians from supporting Trump...
A Christian pastor named Robin Bullock has told his congregation that it's a sin to refer to Joe Biden as "president."
A video of Bullock's sermon, reposted by Right Wing Watch, shows the pastor telling his congregants that they should pray for Biden.
"You can pray for a man named Joe Biden. You should. No, no, don't get off in hate. You should pray. Okay?" he began. "You can pray for the office of the president. But you cannot pray for President Joe Biden, because you might as well pray for the Easter Bunny, because he don't exist."
A pastor who has continued to insist that former President Donald Trump is still in charge of the country doubled down on that baseless claim Sunday, repeatedly screaming to his hundreds of cheering church followers: "Joe Biden is a fake president."
Pastor Greg Locke, head of the Baptist Global Vision Bible Church in Juliet, Tennessee, predicted numerous times before and after Biden's November election victory that Trump would remain president no matter what the actual votes, results or news media claimed.
During Sunday's church service, he again amped up these claims before his screeching congregation members and mocked anyone saying "you just need to accept the election results." Hoping to validate his continued claims that he is not a "fake prophet" who got the election results wrong, the pastor simply declared Biden a "fake president."
Jerry Falwell Jr.’s Comments About Why It Doesn’t Matter if Trump Is Immoral…At one point, reporter Joe Heim asked Falwell whether there is anything Trump could do that would endanger his support from Falwell and other evangelical leaders. He answered, simply, “No.” His explanation was a textbook piece of circular reasoning: Trump wants what’s best for the country, therefore anything he does is good for the country. There’s something almost sad about seeing this kind of idolatry articulated so clearly. In a kind of backhanded insult to his supporters, Trump himself once said that he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” without losing his base. It’s rare to see a prominent supporter essentially admit that this was true
Shame on all those Christian leaders who have had more then enough time to speak up at their Sunday services....Lies are continuing to divide this country (isn't lying still a sin?)...Preachers who week after week verbalize scriptures, but never really speak the truth about a political party that has has shown distain for the truth & ultimately lost it's way...Idolizing a man with a cult like appeal is not the 'Grand Old Parties' values that you once admired & you know it...Many have traded in their own moral compass because blindly keeping that Conservative prospective no matter it's content or intent is what keeps most churches full & prosperous...This is not about uprooting a life long political choice you have made, but only a part that you know is wrong... “TO ESCAPE CRITICISM, DO NOTHING. SAY NOTHING, BE NOTHING.” Aristotle? Elbert Hubbard? William Pitt? Fred Shero? Anonymous?...To those Pastors & religious leaders who have not been afraid to tell the truth, Thank you...
Will you continue to allow the baseless conspiracy theorists to alter your oath to God to tell the truth in & with love?...It's not about changing all you personally believe politically, it's only changing this wrong that needs to be stopped now...Let them know this Sunday that you love them but they all need to know the truth, Biden is our President & he won by counting all our votes... It's the 'Right' thing to do....There will be another election & if people continue to believe that it's only a fair election when their candidate wins, we all have lost...Christianity & this country hangs in the balance...Even those who are in a position of religious authority can become lovers of pride & power... 'Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely'...
'Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall'...Proverbs 16:18...Now voting rights are being altered to gain an advantage for some at the detriment to others...You must see that these changes & laws are for one purpose & that's giving Trump's base the edge in the next election cycle...This has to stop now or we will never again be the 'United States of America' & for whom 'In God We Trust'...
Finally these thoughts are for what I believe can cause positive change for both the 'Right & the 'Left' we can all do better...Jesus gave us the lead not withstanding our political leanings ...
