Evangelicals Divided about Christianity Today Article

As I have been posting recently, Christianity Today‘s editor-in-chief Mark Galli wrote an article published in this evangelical flagship magazine which calls for Trump’s removal from office mostly on the basis of his moral failings but also, it seems, to be consistent with their past insistence on both Nixon and Clinton being removed as well.

Over 200 evangelical leaders have come out with a letter denouncing the CT piece and supporting President Trump. They include Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham who helped found CT in 1956.

In an editorial published yesterday in CT, its president Timothy Dalrymple strongly supported the Galli article and went so far as to say, “the alliance of American evangelism with this presidency has wrought enormous damage to Christian witness.” Mr. Dalrymple, I salute you for this statement. He added, “While the Trump administration may be well regarded in some countries, in many more the perception of wholesale evangelical support for the administration has made toxic the reputation of the Bride of Christ,” which is the true church according to the Apostle Paul.

I endorse everything Mark Galli said in that article. See my following posts on this: “Christianity Today Says Remove President Trump;” “Christianity Today Article Gets Wide Coverage.” In case you don’t know, since Donald Trump was campaigning for the U.S. presidency in mid-2016, I’ve blogged perhaps 150 times against him being president. Why? I believed he was extraordinarily unfit for the job in many ways, including morally and being psychologically ill as a classic narcissist.
