@JohnFea1 Metaxas: CT "cited his behavior in general as 'profoundly immoral,' his character as 'grossly' so. But these subjective pronouncements promote a perversion of Christian doctrine, which holds that all are depraved and equally in need of God's grace."

@JohnFea1 Metaxas insinuates the conspiracy theory that the Deep State was trying to reverse the election. "Perhaps voters could be excused for hoping to pry Old Glory from the grasp of unelected J. Edgar Hoovers at the Federal Bureau of Investigation." But:
@JohnFea1 Eric Metaxas says one can't distinguish Trump's impulsive cruelty from Jesus' clearing the temple of greedy merchants because they're both forms of anger. "Or must one now assume Jesus was an angry white male without access to mental-health care?"
@JohnFea1 Metaxas ends with nationalism replacing moral judgment: "Since most evangelicals concur with Lincoln in seeing America as 'the last best hope of earth,' it should hardly be discomfiting or shocking that they would rally behind a president with the fortitude to defend that vision"
@JohnFea1 Also Metaxas cites abortion as the reason to vote Republican. But 1. Why Trump? And 2. There are almost certainly millions *more* abortions under Trump than there would have been under Hillary because he has done so much to limit access to contraceptives.
@JohnFea1 Eric Metaxas says it is preposterous to say Trump's behavior is impeachable because Jesus too acted in anger when he drove out those selling religious goods in the temple. 🤔
But I think the parallel is that Metaxas and friends would be driven out.
