Trumpism Replaces Christian Values in This Denomination

Trump Junior recently made this statement in front of a Turning Point rally in Arizona regarding Evangelical support for Trump:

"We've turned the other cheek and I understand--sort of--the Biblical reference--I understand the mentality," he said. "But it's gotten us nothing." Trump Junior seems to be advocating for Christians to abandon the teachings of Christ and become more worldly because that's what it takes to be sucessful, not all that Jesus stuff like turning the other cheek, loving your neighbor or exhibiting meekness. And apparently, some Christians are taking him up on that.

There's a group that has formed within the already troubled Southern Baptist Convention called the Conservative Baptist Network, CBN for short. One of the stated goals of this faction is to work to remove the "functional embrace of worldly ideologies and practice." They claim there's too much "wokeness" in the Southern Baptist Convention, approval of Critical Race Theory and other bad, worldly ideologies like being too soft on abortion, or like the executive director of the denomination's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission spearheading the probe into the massive sexual abuse scandal that has dogged denominational leaders for a while. Oh, did I mention that this same now former executive director, Dr. Russell Moore, was an anti-Trumper for Christian, moral reasons?

This group, while criticizing things in the Southern Baptist Convention they see as "the functional embrace of worldly ldeology and practice," has engaged in some Trumpian demagoguery themselves. The article in the link tells all.

1. When I saw the title of your post

I grabbed the link to my post on the same subject, including signalpress, but being proactive I suggested a way to overcome these hypocrites not by deprogramming them (and good luck with that) but by simply disempowering them.

A. K. A. BY WINNING.

They rode the racist/obstruction/destruction train too long.

The point is not to cure these them, just to outnumber them permanently.

2. I've been beating this drum for a long time, that the mix of Evangelical support with

Trumpian politics will lead to the corruption of the mission and purpose of churches. The two value systems are not compatible in any way and Evangelicals seem willing to overlook Trump's immersion in worldly debauchery because he throws them a few bones wvery now and then.

3. I quoted you in my post and didn't realize it till now. :)

I did want to add the GOTV part, because time is of the essence.

Good work.

4. Thanks

I believe that the time is right for putting out truthful information that helps some sincere Christians realize that an entire branch of Christianity has been hijacked and if their faith and their churches really are important, they'll step up not only to stop the subversion, but to defeat the politicians who push it, right up to the very top.

5. Yes, a million times yes!

Wherever and whenever it gets attention. People at signalpress are competing for attention on the internet, and good luck with that.

Where is our modern day Mark Twain to call out hypocrisy loud and clear?
