Jerry Falwell Jr. Urges Christians to Abandon Their Values in Favor of Steve Bannon’s Agenda

Posted at 10:30 am on October 29, 2017 by Susan Wright

As if we needed further evidence of how the evangelical community is being perverted and drawn away by so-called “faith leaders,” in service to the world, rather than obedience to God and faith.

This is also where I remind folks again that the president of my alma mater, Jerry Falwell Jr. is a lawyer, not a pastor. He gets lumped in with the term “faith leaders” because of who his dad was and the legacy he left behind.

In reality, Jerry Falwell Jr. has no discernible connection to Christian truth or purpose.

In a recent Christian Post article, Falwell’s duplicitous nature is highlighted, as they cover his recent Breitbart interview.

Good to read that someone "gets it" in terms of Christian message as opposed to political goals.

I also note that she uses the words, "the Evangelical community is being perverted and drawn away...." adding that the word "perverse" has a far broader meaning that certain Trump devotees want it to mean, and that their arguments that Trump is not perverse are hollow attempts to excuse what should never, in the Christian community, be excused.

The Bible says God places in power whomsoever He wills... for good or for ill.

When Israel lived in sinful rebellion,  God set up foreign enemies to rule over them.

When the Southern kingdom of Israel [Judah] was living in sinful rebellion,  the books of God's law were found during a repair of the temple [apparently they had been lost.]  The books of God's law were taken to the king who read them and immediately realized they were living in sin and the sword of God was hovering over them.  So the king repented and decreed radical righteous reforms.  God told the king... because he repented,  God would postpone punishment until after the king's death to spare the king from seeing the destruction that God would bring upon Jerusalem and the temple. Later the king died from a battle wound he received when he attacked Egyptian troops who were  crossing the holy land to fight against Babylon.  Ironically,  it was Babylon who God had predestined to destroy Jerusalem and the temple.

True.

 Amen. I like Susan Wright.  She says it like it is.

@corbe

The author is right; Jerry isn't a pastor.  But he's the president of a Christian university and a Christian K-12 school.

   I agree @CatherineofAragon and @Chosen Daughter I like Susan, though her Trump hate can be overwhelming for even me at times just the fact that some here detest her so much ups my desire to post her musings. She's a woman I take seriously, most the time.

She definitely stays on him but I haven't seen her post untruths.  Sometimes the truth hurts.

She's become a mildly articulate spokesman ... oh, wait, spokesperson ... for the NTers.  I no longer take her seriously.  I might if she showed a glimmer of objectivity.  She doesn't.  She's got that Ann Coulter thing going without the long thin legs.

I guess you decided against the Valium and vodka.

   She does appear to enjoy her occasional What a Burger at times, more so than Coulter.




   Maybe she read Sarah Palin's book about how to get the munchies.
