He was a top church official who criticized Trump: 'Christianity is in crisis'

> It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — "turn the other cheek" — [and] to have someone come up after to say, "Where did you get those liberal talking points?" And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, "I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ," the response would not be, "I apologize."

> The response would be, "Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak." And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis.

It won't happen. They have been successfully pre-conditioned (aka brainwashed) to reject any such premise --- despite what the Bible says.

Ignorance of religion (willful and otherwise) and it's doctrine and scripture has become an almost innate part of the modern Christian experience which has veered decidedly political and militant. Ignorance is at the center of this crisis of subversion.

The fact that the overwhelming majority don't already understand the fundamental nature of Jesus' teachings is the proof. Those who do understand are declining to commune with the rest.
