Render to God and Trump': Ralph Reed calls for 2020 obedience to Trump

[FM123]

This is so disgusting

Politico - An upcoming book by the Faith and Freedom Coalition founder will argue evangelicals have a duty to defend the incumbent GOP leader.

One of Donald Trump’s most prominent Christian supporters will argue in a book due out before the 2020 general election that American evangelicals “have a moral obligation to enthusiastically back” the president.

The book’s author, Faith and Freedom Coalition founder Ralph Reed, became a loyal foot soldier for Trump immediately after he nabbed the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 — commanding hordes of white evangelical voters from his perch on the candidate’s religious advisory board to trust that the New York businessman would grow the economy, defend religious freedom and dismantle federal protections for abortion, if elected.

According to the book's description, obtained by POLITICO, the original title for the book was “Render to God and Trump,” a reference to the well-known biblical verse, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s.” The message from Jesus in Matthew 22, has been used in contemporary politics to justify obedience to government — or in the case of Reed’s book, to Trump.

6. That's weird

I was just traipsing through 1 Timothy 4 : 1-2:

But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron . . .

Sounds like Ralph to me.

Robertson and all the money sucking on TV. Swaggart, Joyce Meyer and the rest!

9. These people disgust me to no end

I have long thought that little Ralphie must have some skeletons in his closet somewhere- he’s far too purty and youthful looking. 😆

God, these people disgust me. How in the bloody HELL can they think of Trump as some kind of savior or role model? The irony of the whole thing is that Trump doesn’t give a shit about abortion or about ANY of their so-called moral issues. Trump is completely amoral. I just can’t figure out why they can’t see through him. Has Trump ever talked about his “faith” in any speech he’s ever given? I mean, point me to a single heartfelt moment where he shared some thing personal about himself. I’m betting it doesn’t exist.

14. They're just as driven by racism and sexism as his non-evangelical followers.

10. Reeds followers would vote for Trump and the Republicans anyway

It's all about pro life judges and the supreme court for them.

When it comes to protecting the president and his Republican allies on Capitol Hill, Reed has gone all-in. His group invested $18 million in get-out-the-vote efforts during last year’s midterm cycle, and he has warned conservative Christians that “pretty much everything” is on the line in 2020.

“Our plan in 2020 is to have 500 paid staff and about 5,000 volunteers. Some of these folks are knocking on doors eight hours a day,” Reed recently said on a podcast.
