False equivalency as I never said nor implied that.
You most certainly did imply it. Not only in your last post, but even within this current post.
You said that the entire article could be summed up into an observation that Trump's statements and personal conduct were not compatible with what Christ taught.
This rather subjective observation would only be worth mentioning if you believed that voting for Trump were equivalent to "destroying evangelical Christianity".
You could sum up the article using these other words, "A real Christian wouldn't vote for Trump or any candidate unless his/her statements and personal conduct reflected Christ's teachings".
Yes, and that would be yours. Why would you not read it all? Whether you agree with them or not, there are some points made worth rolling around.
Points made without any empirical evidence.
No doubt, but don't you think morality is important?
Sure morality is important, but is it important when deciding who to vote for President?
I believe that homosexuality is immoral, does that mean I should never vote for a homosexual, even if I believe he or she is the better candidate?
I could care less about my doctor's morality, as long as he did a good job as my doctor. His morality is his business, not mine.
The same goes with the Presidency. I was upset when President Clinton lied to the nation about having an affair, not because he had the affair. I don't care if he cheated on his wife. That's between him, his wife and God.
But I do care if he lies to the nation about it. Oh, and I care about him raping all those other woman.
I don't expect a saint, but I would never vote for a candidate in either party that has acted and said stuff as blatantly immoral as Trump has done and said.
I honestly don't know to what you are referring. He acts like a New York city real estate tycoon.
What are you particularly upset about?
As Gandhi said, "To cooperate with evil is evil", and all too much of what Trump has said and done is just that.
Yet Jesus taught us to agree with our enemies and to work alongside the corrupt because throughout all the Father's fields, the wheat will grow up with the tares.
Yes, the day will come when the wheat will be separated from the tares, but the Lord and His servants perform that work, not the wheat.
I can't understand how any self-professed Christian at this point can still support him.
Here it is. This is where you imply that Christians should not vote for a candidate unless he/she emulates Christ.
I mean, it cannot be more obvious than this.
I like Trump and I think he is doing a good job considering all the opposition, grand-standing, fake news, threats and other hostilities he, his family and cabinet are dredging through.
