Southern Baptists would be served well by this kind of hermeneutical humility and unflinching honesty.

If legislators always vote with the President, we have a king.

If legislators always vote with the prevailing wind, we have mob rule.

If legislators always vote with the Constitution, we have a Republic.

JD Vance really just said this:

"What I would propose is something very simple, that if you are willing to turn the page on Joe Biden's law fair, why don't we prosecute people? Very simple principle. Why don't we prosecute people who violate the law? Let's not prosecute people because they said the wrong thing, or because they had the wrong political candidate, or because they had the wrong viewpoint. And I think part of that, part of turning the page on that, is to actually ensure the real victims of that law fair receive some compensation."

I think James Comey, Letitia James, John Bolton, Mark Kelly, Jason Crow, Adam Schiff, Jerome Powell, Lisa Cook, and John Brennan would like to have a word.

Imagine telling the Pope to “stay out of politics” then broadcasting yourselves reading the Bible over the nation and holding a worship service in D.C. to “rededicate the nation to God” and somehow not see the blatant hypocrisy.

If the indictment really is over “86 47” then it’s got a huge Watts v US problem. That case involved a prosecution of a man for saying “the first man I want to get in my sights is LBJ” if he was inducted in the Army.

“Political hyperbole” is not a threat.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

It is a broken Christianity that says “God protected him!” when a president survives and “thoughts and prayers” when school kids die.

A god who only protects the powerful and not the vulnerable is an idol.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

One of the biggest lies we Christians have come to believe is that the best and most effective way to address the pressing issues of our time is to gain more control over others rather than become more compassionate towards others.

This is the opposite of the gospel of Jesus.

[Brian D. Ingalls @thecrazypastor]

The very fact that Allie and others are not able to critique the administration (because of a fear of leftist policies creeping in or whatever) removes their credibility for me. Any suggestion we must blindly accept everything because they 'aren't Left' is deeply manipulative.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Paula White comparing the president to Jesus was met with applause.

The Pope calling for peace and ending the war was met with condemnation.

Beware of any Christian movement that measures loyalty to God by loyalty to the president.

Christians,

donald trump isn't your savior, he's your test.

[David Schubert @DSchub62]

Complaints about the Pope not staying in his theological and spiritual lane ring particularly and offensively hollow when Hegseth and co repeatedly lift scripture out of context and misapply it in a vain effort to sacralize and Christianize violence and war.

I've taught Augustine's view of just war for over a decade. Not only has the VP failed to grapple with its basic features but he is missing something essential: for Augustine pacifism (Christ's own witness) is the most perfect fulfillment of conduct in any kind of human conflict.

Last couple of weeks have revealed that Christian Nationalists don’t really want to hear about what Christianity might have to say to nations.

[Matt @realmattcarr]

No. That image and Paula White in the role of chief faith advisor (and a great many other blatantly terrible things) are what happens when Christians repeatedly choose the walking antithesis of our values for the promise of proximity to political power.

If you still support him, he thinks you’re this dumb.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

It’s not that many evangelicals are consciously choosing Trump over Jesus. It’s more subtle than that.

They’ve come to believe that Trump’s way is not fundamentally at odds with the way of Jesus.

[Lizzie Marbach @LizzieMarbach]

Honestly, in a sane Christian society, a president should be impeached for blaspheming the Lord in such a blatant manner like this. Not even kidding.

No Christian nation should tolerate such demonic wickedness in public, let alone its highest office.

[AuditTheRhetoric 📚 @bookkeepPLUS]

In his response to Trump, Alex Jone said “I’m a Christian, but I’m not Christ-like”

That pretty much sums up the times we’re in.
