In our founding documents, Billy Graham explains that Christianity Today will help evangelical Christians interpret the news in a manner that reflects their faith. The impeachment of Donald Trump is a significant event in the story of our republic. It requires comment.
This concern for the character of our national leader is not new in CT. In 1998, we wrote this:
The President's failure to tell the truth—even when cornered—rips at the fabric of the nation. This is not a private affair. For above all, social intercourse is built on a presumption of trust: trust that the milk your grocer sells you is wholesome and pure; trust that the money you put in your bank can be taken out of the bank; trust that your babysitter, firefighters, clergy, and ambulance drivers will all do their best. And while politicians are notorious for breaking campaign promises, while in office they have a fundamental obligation to uphold our trust in them and to live by the law.
And this:
Unsavory dealings and immoral acts by the President and those close to him have rendered this administration morally unable to lead.
Unfortunately, the words that we applied to Mr. Clinton 20 years ago apply almost perfectly to our current president. Whether Mr. Trump should be removed from office by the Senate or by popular vote next election—that is a matter of prudential judgment. That he should be removed, we believe, is not a matter of partisan loyalties but loyalty to the Creator of the Ten Commandments.
To the many evangelicals who continue to support Mr. Trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this: Remember who you are and whom you serve. Consider how your justification of Mr. Trump influences your witness to your Lord and Savior. Consider what an unbelieving world will say if you continue to brush off Mr. Trump’s immoral words and behavior in the cause of political expediency. If we don’t reverse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come? Can we say with a straight face that abortion is a great evil that cannot be tolerated and, with the same straight face, say that the bent and broken character of our nation’s leader doesn’t really matter in the end?
Because if so, I'll just wait to come back after the man wins reelection.
So are the next four weeks just going to be a continuous regressive circle-jerk?

But the facts in this instance are unambiguous: The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral.
The reason many are not shocked about this is that this president has dumbed down the idea of morality in his administration. He has hired and fired a number of people who are now convicted criminals. He himself has admitted to immoral actions in business and his relationship with women, about which he remains proud. His Twitter feed alone—with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders—is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused.
And, in mixing Religion and Politics, the magazine Christianity Today ( founded by Billy Graham) said that Trump should be removed.

Oh please don't tease us, just leave. :lamo
The question is why you commented at all. Seems to me the article made a series of good points. You should read it and comment on it if you disagree. Otherwise, no one will miss you on this thread.
I can't find anything to dispute there, can you?

Better bring a winter coat, Hell gets very cold when it freezes over.
I'd be free from the idiocy and lies that keep getting spewed by your side, you know that right?
Not to mention being free from watching you lot repeatedly stroke one another.
For some value of "proven" you are right.You do realize that none of this claim was actually proven right?
Great so go chase the dream and LEAVE! Run, don’t walk to that door. Hurry!
For some value of "proven" you are right.

More like I just close the browser window. But nice try at being somewhat close to the conversation at least.
Though you also might want to work at making your diatribes not so limp wristed in the future. It helps others take you more seriously.

So you say.Given what was revealed in the transcript and even spoken about during testimony. None of what was stated there is actually true.
No one even came close to it during the impeachment hearings, and even when it was brought up. It was with no 1st hand knowledge of the topic, or it was only assumed to be what was going on.
You do realize that none of this claim was actually proven right?

Speaking from experience I see. Then again, I'm not the one forgetting what happened in 2016.
The man has no real opponent in this election and the democrats are too busy jacking each other off over this impeachment circus. To even realize that they've spent the last few months burning their own house down, and they haven't even completely forced Trump out yet.
