Okay, let’s do this. A thread.

1. Donald Trump is *an* anti-Christ. He has twisted, perverted, & manipulated the Christian Faith. He has sowed seeds of discord & has nurtured profound disunity in the body of Christ & even garnered the support of prominent Christian leaders...

2. We keep talking about how he is power hungry, how he’s a Narcissist, & about how he is immoral; but we aren’t naming this stuff using the various categories scripture gives us when dealing with someone like Trump. The man is an “anti-Christ” (notice I said “an” & not “THE”).

3. He hasn’t just garnered the praise of right-wing Christian Nationalists who’ve never championed orthodoxy or the gospel; he has also garnered the unwavering support & affirmation of prominent preachers & theologians who only a few years ago declared him evil.

4. We too quickly dismiss this almost hypnotic power Trump has over otherwise respectable Christian leaders as if it’s natural; we have 3 options.

1. He has something on them.
2. They are just power hungry.
3. There is some dark hypnotic power Trump has.

Maybe it’s all 3. 🤷🏽‍♂️

5. We’ve seen Trump demand stage presence in the church of David Platt (a godly brother who I’ve met personally & truly believe is a faithful brother & pastor) and next thing we know he is on stage, in the middle of the service, & all Saints forced to pray for him.
