Robert Jeffress: Trumps Evangelical Critics Dont Take The Bible Seriously

[Initech]

Robert Jeffress, a faith adviser to and staunch supporter of President Trump, told Religious Right radio host Janet Mefferd yesterday that Trump’s presidency has exposed a divide among evangelicals between those “who take the Bible seriously and those who don’t,” saying that Trump’s critics among the “evangelical elite” don’t embrace the true values of the faith.

During yesterday’s episode of “Janet Mefferd Live” on American Family Radio, Mefferd spoke with Jeffress about articles that have documented how the “evangelical divide” has intensified under Trump. Jeffress denied that Trump created the schisms in the evangelical community, saying that the “evangelical elite” had already been distancing itself from biblical values.

“Look, poor President Trump gets blamed for everything from the melting of the polar ice caps to now the evangelical crisis. And you know, that word ‘crisis’ means ‘divide.’ And I will admit there is a divide going on among evangelicals. President Trump didn’t cause the divide, but he has exposed it,” Jeffress said. “It’s been a growing divide, Janet, between evangelicals who take the Bible seriously and those who don’t. I call them the ‘evangelical elite’—the ‘Christianity of the day’ crowd.”

Jeffress continued, “And here’s where it comes down to—think about this. President Trump is the most pro-life, pro-religious liberty, pro-Israel president in history. So why do we have this resistance among the evangelical elite while the mass of evangelicals in the pews support him? And what it comes down to is the evangelical elite really don’t embrace these values.”

Oh STFU - this is what happens when you live in a country where people have no idea how government actually works. People blamed Obama for literally everything when he was in office. Turnabout is fair play!

1. What a putrid little man he is.

2. I don't recall Jesus ever teaching that "the end justifies the means."

And whether JC was historical or mythological, his story line doesn't include guys like Trump. Unless it was to inform a rich dude that his focus on money and material things will get in the way of his enlightenment.

5. When Donny "the chin" (chief of GOP mafia), unrepentant whoremonger, takes the Bible

seriously, maybe some of his critics will reexamine it.
