During his November 21 interview with Graham, Metaxas, a Salem Radio Network talk-show host, asked the son of the late evangelist Billy Graham, “What do you think of what is happening now? I mean, it’s a very bizarre situation to be living in a country where some people seem to exist to undermine the president of the United States. It's just a bizarre time for most Americans.”
Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, responded, “Well, I believe it’s almost a demonic power that is trying—”
At which point Metaxas interjected, “I would disagree. It’s not almost demonic. You know and I know, at the heart, it’s a spiritual battle.”
In effect, they're saying that if you oppose Trump, then you're demon-influenced, if not demon-possessed.
The Bible says "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves". It's right to pray that Franklin and Metaxis come to see the error of their ways, but Christians should not support them. In effect, they're making judgments only God should make.
Franklin Graham is one of the most influential and powerful people in this country right now. People like him are a big reason Trump is so popular and why so many believe he’s chosen by God and therefore can literally do no wrong. The constant dehumanization of anyone and everyone who doesn’t support Trump or who isn’t the perfect white heterosexual Christian is very disturbing. I think one of the big reasons we cannot have any kind of compromise is the fact most conservatives believe that Democrats are inherently evil and working to accomplish the will of Satan.
2 Thess 2 / 12
11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Political Christians are the Pharisees of today. The great Apostacy has begun. That picture of mrT all buff is for his worshippers. The golden cow is here. I worry not, because there is a remnant who will hold on to the truth.
I don't understand how any Christian can support this President. Lying and cheating don't sound like Christian values to me.
He’s against abortion and gay rights though and the Democrats are for both of those things. Those two issues matter more than anything else to most conservative Christians.
I agree. Easy to see what the Bible teaches.
I'm not seeing demonically possessed in their statements. (inflammatory, much?)
You may not be familiar with the concept of spiritual warfare, which speaks to how easy a target you are for the negative forces.
There's good and evil in this world. It's a lot deeper than this surface bs many joke about. The enemy is out to destroy. He would like for you to go about your day and not ever realize his influence on you.

There were plenty of Republican candidates who supported those issues too...but they went with the liar and the sinner instead.

But hookin' up with porn stars and playboy centerfolds sounds pretty heavenly.
