Top evangelical Trump ally calls for Christians to accept Biden as president-elect

One of President Trump's top evangelical allies is calling on Christians to accept that Joe Biden is more than likely to take office as president in January.

Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Dallas, one of Texas's biggest megachurches, called Biden's apparent victory a "bitter pill to swallow" for Christians, but one that they must accept for the good of the country. At the same time, Jeffress on Wednesday said that he thinks a Biden administration will pose threats to religious liberty and anti-abortion interests, out-of-step with the former vice president's calls for "unity."

Still, Jeffress wrote in a column at Fox News that since "Biden is president-elect," Christians have a duty to pray that he governs well.

"When Joe Biden becomes president, we should commend him for the things he does right," he wrote. "We should condemn the things he does wrong. And above all, we must pray fervently for our president."

Trump is finding out who his friends are...

[DB]

No.

[skeeter]

Its exactly the opposite of what you suggest, reverend - fighting this fraud to the end is for the 'good of the country'.

Ignoring it is the worst thing patriots can do.

[mountaineer]

Sorry, still way too early for that.

Sorry, still way too early for that.

Do you really think that Trump is going to somehow overtunn the election when he is behind more than 10,000 votes?

So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”
Then the Lord said to him: “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria.  Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.  It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.  Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

1 Kings 19:13-18

I am guessing Onward Christian Soldiers is not sung at his church very  often, as his faith and christian values will soon be under socialist attack.

We are seeing capitulation at all angles.

Never!

Algore got 37 days.

[berdie]

Algore got 37 days.

Yes he did. And as I've already said...Trump is entitled and if there wasn't the possibility of a huge problem, why are the Dems and media having such a hissy fit?

[kevindavis007]

Algore got 37 days.

Algore was ahead by 500 votes!

[dfwgator]

Yes he did. And as I've already said...Trump is entitled and if there wasn't the possibility of a huge problem, why are the Dems and media having such a hissy fit?

The reason is that if Trump conceded, his base would have abandoned him.  If he sees it through the end, he lives to fight another day, even if he doesn't win.

Trump may not win this.  But if it exposes the cheating and media collusion, it's worth it.

It looks like sour grapes and pitchin a fit without any evidence to back it up... Who listens to folks that act like that?

[Hoodat]

Algore was ahead by 500 votes!

Gore was ahead by 500 votes in only one of 16 different ways of tabulating votes.  He trailed the other 15.

[berdie]

Algore was ahead by 500 votes!

If a state has certain rules regarding recount...what difference does it make what the number is?

[berdie]

Trump may not win this.  But if it exposes the cheating and media collusion, it's worth it.

Agreed!

[DB]

How about we wait until people have time to collect and present any evidence they may have? Its only been 8 days since the election...

[berdie]

It looks like a tantrum mainly because of the media. How does one get evidence without investigation? Trump has the right to question. The votes aren't certified yet are they?

I don't believe you like the media/Dems any more than I do...so it might bring them to light. I will agree Trump's past behavior is not conducive to this.

[PeteS in CA]

No, Biden is not "President-Elect". He cannot be until the Electoral College so votes. Further, last I heard, no state has certified its Electors, so there are no official Electors known. Further still, too many states are unfinished and there are too many fraud lawsuits with substantial evidence pending for even an accurate estimate of who will get how many Electors. When all that dust settles and the EC votes, then we'll have a President-Elect, whether Biden or Trump.

[mountaineer]

Do you really think that Trump is going to somehow overtunn the election when he is behind more than 10,000 votes?

I don't know. But I do know that neither Trump nor Biden actually has won the election. Neither has a single electoral vote.

[roamer_1]

How about we wait until people have time to collect and present any evidence they may have? Its only been 8 days since the election...

I am pretty immune to becoming all verklempt about this (or just about anything). Just seems to me that critical thinking would be more worthy than running around with your hair on fire.

I don't trust the media on EITHER SIDE of anything. I think there is corruption of course. But the only corruption that matters is the corruption you can prove.  And that is done in a courtroom, not in the scandal sheets. All the rest of it is tub-thumping.

Trump is behind by 5,000,000 votes and the figure continues to grow!
