Christainity Today Abets Evangelical Capitulation

In an article in the Sept/Oct 2024 issue of Christianity Today titled “The Soul Of MAGA: The Loves and Desires That Draw Evangelicals”, the publication's senior media director Mike Cooper writes, “I lament that rather than offering words of peace or patriotism, Trump expressed the most viseral sentiment of his movement: 'Fight, fight, fight.”

Mind you, just seconds before, the presidential candidate had endured what would have been if he had not turned his head a skull-shattering shot rather than a traumatic ear wound of debateable severity.

The rallying cry of “Fight, fight, fight” mght provide valuable insight into the psychology of Donald Trump.

However, the response to it on the part of the editorial staff of Christainity Today perhaps reveals even more about the sorry mental state of the propagandists going out of their way to publish nitpicky criticiisms of something articulated under considerable emotional distress.

For all Trump knew he was about to die.

Would these pecksniffs preferred him to blubber for his life or to impart a rallying cry for his supporters to carry on the cause in light of his looming demise?

Was Trump supposed to have urged his supporters to role over to allow what remains of our withering liberties to be trampled asunder?

Apparently the virtue signallers at Christianity Today are outraged that Trump's instincts when attacked were to retaliate rather than not only to enunciate a recantation of the deeds for which a disturbing number find the assailant's intended outcome fitting recompense but for failing to regret that this plot against him was not carried out to the desired fruition.

Yet throughout the summer of 2020 and henceforward, those on the Christianity Today/Russell Moore/Gospel Coaltion end of the Evangelical spectrum barely said a word of condemnation of the outright acts of vandalism, terrorism, and theft perpetrated by the likes of Black Lives Matter and that movement's Antifa street brawlers.

If anything, theologues of the Christianity Today/Gospel Coaltion ilk preened how those like them were rather at fault simply for being White.

These woketopian scolds condemned as the most pernicious and inscidious racists of all not those that rallied for Nazi and Klan marches but rather run of the mill conservative Caucasians that had never done anything malaicious to a Black person a day in their lives.

Even more akin to crocodile tears is the line in the Christianity Today article wishing that Trump had articulated some patrriotic grandiosity.

Had Trump utterered something along the lines of Nathan Hale's sentiment that he regrets that he has only the one life to give for his country, the Christianity Today article would have flown into a tizzy that such a statement was proof as to Trump's political idolatry and Christian nationalism.

For years, the Gospel Coalition/Christianity Today axis serrved as a nexus insisting that any displays of American pride such as U.S. flags in a church had to be removed out of concern that such might set off foreigners and minorities still permitted to retain the symbols of their own ethnicity despite the likes of Russell Moore and Jonathan Leeman repeatedly berating White Southerners for brandishing anything other than the detailess ensign signalling unconditional capitulation to the nation's enemies.

One can't very well wipe one's dirty rhetotical feet across Old Glory and then attempt to wrap its comforting embrace around you snuggly as you look down at those you hold in utter contempt.

Why Shouldn't Americans Care What Happens To America In The End?

An online meme depicts the outline of the United States on a circle of blue as if the other land masses of the Earth have been removed. The accompanying text reads, “How Christians In America View End Times Prophechies”.

The message being propagated through the image is that Americans apparently care primarily about themselves.

Most nations are primarily interested in themselves.

That is what being a nation is about.

Apparently Americans are to be condemned by multiculturalist woketopians for having an interest in personal well being.

Yet it seems so-called believers insisting no one nation is better than any other with the devout of the less-developed world exhibiting a more refreshing tendency towards spiritual self-deprication never themselves migrate to those lands of more humble circimstances seemingly so beneficial for everyone else but these virtue signalers of course.

It is only natural for America to have a greater number of Christians interested in the end times because this nation has a greater number of Christians at this time that hold to an interpretation of Christianity that actually cares about eschatology.

Institutional Catholicism does not and the population of Israel at the moment denies Christ pretty much altogether much less adhere to what most religious academics dismisss as esoteric Evangelical interperative hermeneutics.

It is actually the Reformed brands of End Times teaching such as covenant theology, Christian reconstructionism, and postmillennialism (not dispensationalism) that focus on a perfected America as the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

The likes of Gary Demar and Rushdoony are more guilty of what this meme accuses than Tim LaHaye and Jerry Falwell.
