Christianity Today: Trump Should Be Removed

Calling for his legal removal from office based on how well they think he personally aligns with his religion is both anti-Christian and unconstitutional.

Those at Christianity Today do not align with my own views of how one should conduct himself as a Christian, but they are not going to fold based on such opinions.

 

Let me ask you this. LEGALLY what has the President done that merits his removal?

Unfortunately, despite what you may think, there are not separate laws for Christians in this country.

 

I don't think anyone here is arguing that he shouldn't repent. Nobody has said that.

 

He tried to extort the Ukrainian President into investigating Joe Biden's son in order to get money. That's a mafia like thing to do.

 

Really? Where is the evidence for that?

 

The evidence has been provided. The impeachment was provided. People can claim it's not real. The Senate can do for President Trump what the Senate did for President Clinton and not take the accusations seriously.
I understand that some here think any belief that the President broke laws is tantamount to denying the Trinity. You have the right to hold that opinion.
However, the editor of Christianity Today has the right to say President Trump should be removed as should have Bill Clinton have been removed.
What is surprising is that Christians would turn on Christians as they trust in a man-made government.
In my opinion, as Christians we support our King and we pray for the peace of the city in which we reside as exiles and immigrants.
This is my last comment on this thread. May we all trust in God's Sovereignty in raising up and tearing down leaders according to His perfect plan.

 

What evidence? Why not just answer that question. There was no evidence in the impeachment hearings. It was all hearsay and opinions. Not facts.

Actually, the President has not yet been impeached since the House Democrats have not delivered the articles to the Senate.

That's convenient. You are asked to provide proof for your claims then you say you aren't posting anymore. Convenient.... You should repent for your false witness.

Be firm but polite if you respond with an oppinion counter to theirs.
This was my response:

A magazine, as well as a citizen has the right to express an opinion, and having said that, my comment has to do with "Christianity Today's" support for having our president removed from office. Since I never read that magazine, it would be an unqualified opinion if I called your support for the president's removal hypocritical. If "Christianity Today" called for Clinton's removal on account of his actions, and if the magazine called for Obama's removal because of his godless support for the LGBTQ agenda, open borders, and other culturally destructive measures, then I must say that you are not being hypocritical. However; if "Christianity Today" tacitly approved the more serious transgressions of previous administrations by remaining quiet during those terms, then hypocrissy can be justifiably be alledged in the case of President Trump.

Matthew 7:16-20 King James Version (KJV)
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

 

IMO Christianity Today (CT) is so far left as to be borderline Neo-orthodox.

God allowed rulers in the past with soiled reputations to be in authority and both believers and unbelievers. e.g. David and Nebuchadnezzar.

In addition what/who is the alternative to president Trump that has A REAL POSSIBILITY TO MAKE REAL CHANGE?

Stay with Trump to insure a SCOTUS WITH THE ABILITY TO OVERTHROW ROE v. WADE.

 

He's My President, Not My Pastor

"And yes, while I'm at it, I'm praying that he finds enough inner peace to make his second term less stressful and more joyful — for his sake, and for ours."

A good article, but make no mistake, this is a serious fight, so we all need to buck up. The powermongering left will not allow Trump or any of his supporters any outward peace. The progressively devious, malicious left would have to be forcibly shut down for that.

I do not know his inner peace, but I doubt any other man could have so long withstood the constant barrage of vile underhanded attacks launched by the left and yet done so much good for the country. Such a vicious lot are not easily handled.

 

Scores of prominent evangelical Christians unite for letter of protest to CT:

Evangelical leaders denounce Christianity Today's 'Dump Trump' editorial

"We write collectively to express our dissatisfaction with the editorial Christianity Today published on Thursday, December 19, 2019 calling for the removal of our duly elected President, who was put into office at the behest of over sixty million voters."

"Your editorial offensively questioned the spiritual integrity and Christian witness of tens-of-millions of believers who take seriously their civic and moral obligations."

"We are, in fact, not 'far-right' evangelicals as characterized by the author. Rather, we are Bible-believing Christians and patriotic Americans"

"It also came to our attention, that Mr. Galli has written other statements about Americans who chose Donald Trump over Secretary Clinton in 2016, referring to them as 'These other evangelicals often haven’t finished college, and if they have jobs, and apparently most of them don’t, they are blue-collar jobs or entry level work' as he describes himself with pride as an 'elite evangelical'."

 

Well, they hammered Reagan AND Dubya both pretty hard, but....they sat and took it, Trump counterpunches.
