This is closer to biblically condemned immodesty than most of the things that get identified as such.
If your pastor wears a $2,000 sweater to preach on Sundays, find a different church.

The felony convictions (by a jury of peers, per the Constitution) were about falsifying business records, which is lying, bearing false witness, uneven scales etc.

One of the weakest arguments for voting for Trump or trusting this movement is that these guys find him an appropriate representative of “Christian values” or remotely qualified to lead a “Christian nation.”

Not voting for Trump is very simply about integrity, consistency, truth, and values for the Christians who stand there.
Stop making things up for your lil culture war narrative.
For some Christians, not voting for Trump has become a form of accelerationism to hasten the judgement of God almost like Jonah wanting to see Nineveh destroyed.

Received. I didn’t say this was (even a minor) sin. It’s an occasion to make the point that immodesty is more about excess and attention-seeking than most of the things usually communicated as “immodest” (policing women) - I said *this* was *closer* to what the Bible condemns.

Simple solution to this apparent(?) problem: don’t preach Mother’s Day or Father’s Day sermons.
Mother’s Day sermons: “Moms we honor you. You are special. Here’s a flower.”
Father’s Day sermons: “Buckle up because I’m about to open up a big can of how you’re failing as a dad. Here’s a slim Jim that cost .99”

The replies to this are amazing.
When you have to dismiss unqualified biblical imperatives to excuse your disposition toward your neighbors, you’re wrong. Period.
Paul listed “having a good reputation with outsiders” as a *qualification* for pastors (1 Tim. 3:7).
Even in the midst of a pagan society that mocked Christ and reviled Christians, Paul saw a good reputation as non-negotiable.

I agree with it’s ok to have “nice things” - even if they’re ugly. I don’t think pastors should be intentionally calling attention to themselves by flaunting wealth through wardrobe, which is why I say this is “closer to” immodesty than the coverage policing we’re used to.

When you hear people, especially Christians, spreading rumors and conspiracy theories about the COVID vaccines, it might be good to remind them that excess deaths plummeted when vaccination peaked.
Truth > narrative.
Finally, the daily vaccination rate *peaked* in Spring 2021, right around the time excess deaths *nearly vanished* for months. If the vaccine were killing huge numbers of people, why did excess deaths plunge when vaccination peaked?

Nah. Never Trump Christians are simply opposed to the subjugation of biblical political theology (about which there is intramural disagreement) to a consequentialist power grab with a sexually perverse and abusive blasphemer as its champion.
Never Trump evangelicalism seems schizophrenically to 1) reject the idea of political theology because politics is not the gospel and also 2) get mad when people are fine with voting for politicians who aren’t meeting standards of gospel living or something. Biblicism I guess?
