In The New York Times this morning, the influential Baptist theologian Russell Moore calls on evangelicals to reconsider their support for Trump. There should be no religious test for office, he tells his fellow Baptists, but a careful scrutiny of character and positions.
Trump’s view of women, he says, is that of a “Bronze Age warlord,” publicly boasting he gets to sleep with some of the “top women of the world” and discarding two wives.
He also points out that Trump ridicules evangelicals, and has even urged that evangelical missionaries not be allowed to return to the U.S. for treatment for Ebola.
Winning is good, but for Christians, it can’t trump love.

DonWalk1 I don’t see anything judgmental about this article. This is pointing out Trump’s past stances in regard to the stated issues.
We are on the verge of WWIII. We are facing enemies within our Nation who are fighting against our citizens to Create a New World Order. For more information Google President Eisenhower’s Speech about The MILITARY Industrial Complex. You’re watching it before your very eyes. ISIS has declared a CALIPHATE. Very Serious. Google Caliphate. They want to destroy Christianity and all non believing Muslims. Add to that China and Russia waiting to jumpbon the bandwagon to create more Mayhem. We need a TRUE PATRIOT WHO Will Take Whatever Measures are needed to STOP These EVIL THUGS! We don’t have time to Waste on Political Correctness. I have never been a fan of Donald Trump. However, I’ve researched his views on these Issues and Read his Book “Time To Get Tough” (Make America Great Again) published in 2011. Donald Trump may not be a perfect Christian who is ready for Sainthood he is not anti Christian and he is a Patriot who Loves America. The Only Candidate who is Courageous enough to fight the evil and Destruction we are facing is Trump. While there are a few and only a few who will be as tough as Trump, they cannot win in the General Election. So unless we want another Obama type administration, unless we want this to be our last Election we best be taking a good hard look at Voting Trump. The mere fact that the Media, The Political Class and The Political Power Brokers don’t want Trump to WIN Tells Me that They are PETRIFIED THAT TRUMP WILL Destroy Their Plans for The Military Industrial Complex and the DEMISE OF AMERICA AND The American Middle Class!
” There should be no religious test for office, he tells his fellow Baptists, but a careful scrutiny of character and positions.”
Then in hypocritical fashion, judges Trump on his actions???
