Jerry Falwell Gets Slammed After Defending Donald Trump Over Scathing 'Christianity Today' Editorial

Jesus was liberal my dude

Yes, they preached the “social gospel" of helping the poor, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger! Just like Christ!

Why is Christ so out of touch with today's evangelicals?

Comments like these from "Christians" like you and Trump are destroying "the reputation of evangelical religion and the world's understanding of the gospel".

Wow. Now you're dividing up Christianity? You can be the right kind of Christian or the wrong kind of Christian? Doesn't sound very Christian, Jerry.

Like Jesus always said: you can lie, cheat, and steal all you want, the only things that matter are winning and cash.

Big hypocrite Jerry Falwell with plenty of skeletons in his closet repeating fake news for the impeached fake Christian in the WH.
Jerry will accept all credit cards but likes cash donations best.

They spoke truth. This President is corrupt and immoral and evangelicals support of him is hypocritical and destroying their witness.

Proof?

The millions he owes cities across the US, the $2m he owes for STEALING FROM A CHARITY, the vendors he has refused to pay, his paying a woman to sleep with him while his wife was recovering from childbirth, raping his wife, cheating on his first wife with his second, his second

With his third, his CPAs refusing to vouch for the info provided banks, banks refusing to lend him any more money bc he lied, the two sets of books discovered, walking in on teenage girls undressing, telling preteen girls he was going to date them.... just as a start.....

Oh, I forgot— his attorneys who wouldn't be in a room alone with him— insisted on two so they could corroborate what was said when he lied.

CT magazine was founded by Billy Graham and many evangelicals read it and it is found in many churches. This is the beginning of the end of the Trump crime enterprise. You should be relieved that Trump won't hold the pool boy incident over you anymore.

You and @realDonaldTrump make a nice couple. Bring the pool boy for some extra fun.
— Joe Lockhart (@joelockhart) December 20, 2019

How's the pool boy and also your "personal trainer" doing these days? What did they do to get so much money from you and why was Trump's fixer Michael Cohen involved? You aren't the person to be speaking on behalf of Christians #FakeChristian

I assume you'll still pick up the Swimsuit Edition if it features pool boys, though, amirite?

Hey Jerry, are you saying that your religion is ok with someone as grossly selfish and morally inept as Trump. I realise that no one is perfect but for the love of God, at least back someone worth looking up to. This man will never be remorseful about what he has done

It's very sad for real people of faith. It took very long for them to come out. Many people have had a crisis of faith cuz of their support of this corrupt, heartless #Individual1 #RemoveTrumpNow 1st commandment Thou shall have no other gods before me. Trump is NOT a god!
— ✌🏼Peacemomma ✌🏽 (@peacemomma67) December 20, 2019

The worst part is the religious leaders coming out attacking CT further damages ppl who may be struggling w/ their faith cuz of the church's abandonment of the teachings of Jesus. I was sickened to hear T as the"chosen one"&compared to Jesus during Impeachment. #RemoveTrump

Evangelical hypocrisy. The CT article is just the beginning to right the wrongs of holding Trump up in spite of his many moral and criminal failings. pic.twitter.com/a9MOcnX58J
