CHRISTIANS WHO HATE TRUMP by Mario Murillo
There are Christians who hate Trump. Let’s call it for
what it is: hate. It is their hate—which
is very strange for those who name the name of Jesus—that dulls their ability
to see the inaccuracy of their comments and their myopic views.
One sanctimonious ranting Christian said, “There’s
nothing Biblical about Trump.” Actually, there’s nothing Biblical about that
statement. The prophet Daniel served Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel recognized the role
that this pagan king played in God’s unfolding drama. The church’s ability to
work with Trump is totally Biblical.
Now, I must clarify something, lest I incur the wrath of
Trump supporters. I am not calling Trump a pagan king—I’m sure he is much more
moral than his enemies realize—I am saying that if Daniel could work with the
Nebuchadnezzar how much more can we work with the Donald.
I have tried very hard to
figure out what causes believers to hate Trump. Our side won a long overdue and
miraculous victory at the polls, and yet these believers choose to aid and abet
the other side. Is it because their favorite “Christian” didn’t win? Is it a
case of sour grapes? They didn’t require any President to be a squeaky clean
pastor, until Trump.
Yes,
his tweets can be a bit much. And okay, President Trump is not as smooth as
Reagan…but, we don’t need smooth right now.
Here is something else that
is really strange (hypocritical is more like it): why didn’t these guardians of morality speak
out against Obama? Franklin Graham was attacked for questioning Obama’s
Christian Faith. They told him not to judge a brother. Hold that thought as we
explore another question…
How could you not question
Obama’s Christianity? Obama begged the question by dropping the Christian-card
whenever it suited him (something Trump never does). Meanwhile, Barack fought
for same sex marriage, late term abortion, gave billions to Iran, and was the
most Biblically hostile President in our history.

So why do so many Christian
leaders—who said it was wrong to judge Obama—judge Trump?
Trump is not a pastor. He is a businessman who loves
America. As far as his faith? I am not qualified to determine his spiritual
depth, since I’ve never had the chance to meet the man. But there are many
photos of Christian leaders laying hands on the President, praying for him, and
he is cooperating.
“He is like Hitler and the church is being fooled,” said
another comment. At this time, those of you who are wearing tinfoil hats,
please remove them, and listen. Hitler never had 98% of the media against him.
Trump has never called for a new constitution. Hitler never tried to protect
Israel. I could go on and on.
Maybe if Trump had addressed the March for Life.
Maybe if he had chosen an on fire born-again Vice President. Maybe if he had
rescinded executive orders that banned federal funds from Christian
organizations. Maybe if he overruled the Johnson Amendment that banned the free
speech of pastors. Maybe if he had moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem, and
shown himself to be a true supporter of Israel. Maybe if he had put someone on
the Supreme Court who helped Christian bakers to exercise their right to
freedom of religion. Maybe then you would support him. Oh wait…he did all those
things…
God has done a miracle and the enemy wants
to make short work of the amazing breakthroughs we are witnessing by dividing
the church. Instead of being a religious outlier you should be thanking God,
praying for and supporting the President. And voting for
righteousness, and against the enemies of freedom.
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in high office, that we may lead a quet and tranquil life in all devotion and dedication (to God). 3 This (is) good and acceptable before God our Savior, 4 Who wishes all men to be saved and to come to a full knowledge of (the) Truth. -- 1 Timothy 2:1-4
