@dwchurchwell@hunterbaker@PublicDiscourse I appreciated your article. It has spurred by spiritual and creative juices to write a response.
Christians who made the bargain for conservative judges are pro-life policies forgot the words and warnings about making compromises for transitory gains, human power. Once people /2
@dwchurchwell@hunterbaker@PublicDiscourse 2/ make compromise of this kind of person, everything becomes tainted even if the original objectives were in themselves Noble.
Jesus Christ warns believers against making these kind of compromises repeatedly. Both political conservatives and many congregations need to do /3
@dwchurchwell@hunterbaker@PublicDiscourse 3/ some serious soul searching. Matthew 4:9 would be a good start to see how one is supposed to handle such "bargains". Jesus rejected the limitation.
The sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-8:1)
The encounter with the Rich Young Man (Matthew 19:16-30, Mark 10:17-31, /4
@dwchurchwell@hunterbaker@PublicDiscourse 4/ Luke 18:18-30)
The entire chapter of Matthew 25, especially **Matthew 25: 31-45** in light of the massive "evangelical" support for #DonaldTrump even now after his inciting the Capital insurrection. This "hero" of Christianity who bluntly stated he doesn't ask God /5 #morals

This reprehensible person who had multiple Affairs and marriages and talked about grabbing women YOU KNOW WHERE was accepted by most evangelicals because he suddenly became pro-life and agreed to appoint conservative judges!! /6
@dwchurchwell@hunterbaker@PublicDiscourse 6/ For that many of you knew about his conduct.. and we never stopped reminding you! To justify, you tried to use David from the Bible as an example. But David was a very flawed man of faith with a conscience as portrayed in Hebrew Scripture. Not the same thing. As Ps. 32:5-7 /7
