Yes, there is partisan idolatry on both sides. Politics breeds it. Heck, look at the disgusting things said on the Politics board thread on this about a sister-in-Christ because she speaks against Trump. It reeks of idolatry. Not to mention the golden statue his worshipers wheeled into CPAC. But 'm not sure what she's said that indicates hatred of Trump. Everything I've seen seems to condemn his behavior and pray for repentance.
Just to clarify, CPAC didn't roll that in. A table trying to sell stuff did. I was pretty disgusted when I saw that but further clarification is necessary
https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/26/politics/trump-gold-statue-cpac-2021/index.htmlof course people on the right worshipped Trump. They'll call it other things, but as a conservative guy who voted for him in only in Nov 2020, I have been disappointed in a lot of the church in their adoration of him. But no,CPAC did not bring in a gold statue.
That being said, while I appreciate Moore and her ministry over the years in some areas, as another poster said, she used a small piece of scripture and then made allegories and stories about it for entire sermons. I don't know that I ever heard anything blatantly unbiblical in any of the times I've heard her stuff, but it is a lot of fluff and feel good and less exposition of scripture.
Now THAT being said, I know a few people that used to mock her for her shallow teachings but loved retweeting her anti-Trump stuff last fall.
That's fine, but Christians acting like Trump is the first bad actor with a bad personality haven't been paying attention for the last 30 years. It's exchanging a host of issues that result antibiblical results for bad tweets. Of course voting for Trump would be exchanging other antibiblical results for their preferred guy to win.
My main issue is call a fair fight. Biden has said racist stuff, been very hateful, lied, and cheated with Jill while she was married. Trump did all the same but the current crop Christian leaders only like to get points calling out one side.
But, also, Christians (Falwell, FBC Dallas, etc.) , quit defending Trump. He's a scumbag.
