As Trump lied his way through the debate, false Evangelical prophets lie to continue their loyalty
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/09/as-trump-lied-his-way-through-debate.htmlIt's a joke, to insist that standing with Trump is standing with truth. It is also a condemnation of anyone who makes that claim. It makes them liars, too.
To anyone who has the ability to use a computer, read a book, or listen and understand a speech, the lies Trump told during his debate performance, which triggered even the debate moderators to make note of a fact check when he started in on the lie about immigrants kidnapping and eating the pets of people in Springfield, Ohio and Aurora, Colorado, makes his complete lack of honesty pretty obvious. For anyone claiming to be Christian, and thus standing for truth in that way, Trump's incessant, obvious lying is disqualifying.
Evangelical Christianity, especially its Pentecostal/Charismatic branch as represented by most of the men who were subjects of the BNG article that is linked above, is full of liars, cheats and deceivers. We have some outstanding examples in this country of religious imposters, mainly for the purpose of profiteering off gullible people. That seems to go hand in hand with Trump politics. Everything that Trump said last Tuesday was a lie. Everything. And now we have these religious imposters proving that they, too, are liars, by their claim that they are standing with Trump, "because he stands for truth."

Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Matthew 7:14-15.
The "fruits" these men produce are what comes of following a fraudulent and lying politician, like Trump. He doesn't tell the truth and their defense of his lies makes them liars. Most of these so-called Evangelical "leaders" are after the same things Trump pursues, power and money. So they are willing to ignore his immorality, his lies and his corruption and crimes, to continue to deceive their followers into supporting him. And they are willing to ignore his open denial of the Christian gospel itself, in his refusal to admit that he has done anything requiring God's forgiveness.
That, according to the early church Apostle John, is the spirit of antichrist.

Trump's far right political Evangelicals/Christians are the public face of Christianity in America today.
