This kind of garbage is exactly why Trump needs to get rid of his faith advisors. I’d rather have no one talking to him about faith issues than these people.
I wouldn't argue much about that at all. It is not wrong to suggest that Christians were a significant reason why Trump won and for him to pick these kinds of nutjobs as his faith team is kind of a slap in the face.
I didn't say it was an excuse, but more of a possible explanation for how he chose so badly. And to say he's not much of a Christian is to say that he's new at the game and as such, while perhaps (we can't really read his heart) being enamored with the idea and being a TV guy, he picked in a fashion dictated by his perceptions at the time. There's nothing stopping good Christians from writing to him and making recommendations for better people, as we well know he's not shy about sacking those who ain't working out or are no longer useful. A good explanation for why they need to go might be worthwhile.
All I’m saying (Glenn too) is that avoiding giving heretics and false teachers this much visibility would be a good idea.
As we’ve seen. Trump is incredibly independent and I doubt that he’s paying much attention to random people.
It’s ok to acknowledge that his choices suck on this, and that the incident is absolutely horrible theologically and from a PR standpoint. Having a heretic compare Trump to Jesus is just bad.
ARGH!! She is such a heretic that I doubt seriously that she is Christian.

DeleteWell, not being much of a Christian, his picks were likely rather hasty.
DeleteThat’s not really an excuse. If he’s not much of a Christian, why bother?

DeleteI don't disagree at all. I'd go further is encouraging they all be sacked and replaced with actual Christians.
"It’s ok to acknowledge that his choices suck on this, and that the incident is absolutely horrible theologically and from a PR standpoint."
I'd go further here as well in saying it's incumbent upon actual Christians to call it out.
"Having a heretic compare Trump to Jesus is just bad."
It's amazing to me that even a bad Christian would attempt to compare anyone to Jesus.
Agreed.
