CHRISTIANITY TODAY: MARK GALLI'S CHRISTIANITY IS NOT OF CHRIST.

ICHEOKU says how can any sane person, especially one allegedly following in the footsteps of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ ever diminish the killing of Christians enemy number one Abu al Baghdadi and making it and all the other accomplishments of President Donald John Trump, lesser than a mere telephone call to Ukraine. A matter made worse because this fella did not even condemn the corruption of Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden, but went through the same selective indignation talking point, that the president asked for the investigation of his political opponent. 

ICHEOKU says but the crime which led to the requested investigation is being ignored by all these hack partisans, who have chosen to ignore and refused to address it. If the president asked for the investigation of his political opponent, what did his political opponent do that warrants looking into? But a fella who is supposedly a Christian, conveniently decided to overlook the underlying criminal act, the precursor to the requested investigation; yet wants American people to believe that he acted without malice to the president in writing his editorial from hell. 

If the president had political opponents in mind when he requested the investigation of the Biden father and son corruption duo, he would have started with investigating Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton, afterall she did a lot of dirty deeds involving Ukrainian officials. The accusation is made more more disheartening because President Donald John Trump does not need any Ukrainian help to trounce the infirmities of old age afflicted Joe Biden; not after what he did to the Clinton and Bush family political dynasties, as well as a sitting President Barack Obama in 2016. ICHEOKU says demolishing mentally depreciated Joe Biden will be a piece of cake and walk in the park as Joe is not a formidable opponent.

But all these anti Trump and Never Trumpers Deep Staters want American people to believe that the reason the president asked the Ukrainian president to "do us a favor" is to help him defeat Joe Biden. Who has Joe Biden ever defeated in any election outside Delaware that now makes him such an indomitable political foe that would require an Ukrainian help to vanquish? This fella got his head all screwed up for demeaning all that the president has done for both Christians and the American people; putting them in the thrash and beneath his imaginary moral turpitude of the president. 

What would Jesus do faced with similar circumstances? ICHEOKU says Jesus would look at the apparent reason for the requested investigation and would also condemn the crime of Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden. Jesus would also not waste his time second guessing a political motive, because what Joe Bide and his son Hunter Biden did is apparent and it is a criminal act. Crimes are usually investigated and that should be the foundational reason for the requested investigation, period. 

But this fella latched unto an already litigated past indiscretions of the president to pounce on him with his sanctimonious holier than thou inanities. Where was his Christian faith in repentance and forgiveness of sins not to know that the president has changed from his old ways and now professes Christianity. Saul was murdering Christians before God called him and made him Paul; ditto Mary Magdalene the prostitute and Matthew the tax collector. Our Lord Jesus said in Mark 2:17 that he did not come for those who are well, but that the sick may get salvation. The Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32 teaches us about new beginning; and that it is not how long our sins lasted that is important, but that we are able to overcome it and face the way that leads to righteousness. 

God is happier with a repented sinner than a sinner who perpetually confesses his unwillingness to change course or literary declares him or herself an unbelieving atheist and agnostic who will be happy to burn in hell like Ronald Reagan Jr. So, while angels live in heaven and will not come down on earth to govern mankind, a repented sinner will always be the nearest best thing, a better and preferred alternative to preside over us. The realization by a sinner to sin no more or to identify certain things as sinful is always a good acceptable first step and this imperative makes President Donald John Trump good enough and a perfect president for the United States of America. 

At least the president identifies himself as a Christian and aligns himself with the school of thought that proclaims killing of babies is sinful. The president have in addition, taken many steps to reduce infanticides rates at abortion clinics that festoon the land, as well as those overseas, by cutting funds to them. The president have thus established his full credentials as a Christian bona fides and beyond any shadow of doubt. This fella should have taken it into consideration before embarking on his wild goose chase to crucify an innocent man whose sins were washed away a long time ago, following his acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

ICHEOKU says who does this fella want as president or does he prefer and wishes that Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton had won? Who would he choose from the pack of the Democratic Party candidates currently jostling for an opportunity to run for the office, that is less immoral than the president, when all of them support the killing of babies. How would Matthew 19:14 be fulfilled when babies are being slaughtered in abortion clinics in America with these peoples' support, consent and approval? 

It is not just about Mark Galli stipulating what Mayor Pete Buttigieg calls setting a purist test which nobody can pass, but under the circumstances in which we found ourselves in America, where religiosity is fast fading to the background, who would he have preferred as president. In casting stone against the president, he forgot the admonition of Jesus Christ in John 8:7 and Luke 6:37, yet he is a Christian and hates like sin. 

Would he have preferred those who are ashamed of Christianity or a president who at least still professes Christianity? Would he prefer those who hate to be perceived as having any relationship with Christianity to a president who still publicly identifies with Christianity, in view of what Jesus said in Luke 8:50. Would this fella have preferred those who would rather see Christianity wiped off the face of the earth to a president who has done more for and to protect Christianity than all his predecessors put together. Would he prefer those who argue that Crosses and religious symbols should be taken down from public spaces and that God must be taken out of schools, government and even our lives, to a president who is a staunch advocate of God's supremacy in our lives and society. 

Mr Mark Galli should remember too that nobody is perfect and that an angel will not come down from heaven to occupy the White House. So our option is limited to what we have available; and when left to choose between two evils, the lesser evil is always the play. If we cannot get 100%, at least 75% is good enough; instead of 0% or at most 21%. We deal with what we are given and if lemons, we make lemonades; but without citrus, we cannot make any drink. 

But Mark Galli did not write any morality editorial against nor called for Pete Buttigieg, an openly homosexual gay man running for president, to drop out of the race because gaydom is immoral. Ditto Virginia Governor Ralph Northam who killed babies and advocated for the killing of fully formed babies, who has not been similarly excoriated by Mark Galli's editorial, calling for his removal from office. 

Certain things are just crass politics and so obvious, so subjective. ICHEOKU says unless Mark Galli is presenting his holier than thou self in next year's presidential election as a candidate, his call for the removal of the president is rather presumptuous, baseless, faulty and lacking in every objectivity. He kept silent for more than three years and suddenly now wants the president removed from office with less than ten months to go; and you ask yourself why not wait for the election that is almost here. But Mark Galli is part of the swamp and was only kowtowing the directive of the Deep State to editorialize for the removal the president now, otherwise he will win a reelection on November 3rd, 2020. 

If according to Mark Galli, the Christian Today's usual approach is to stay above the fray of politics, what suddenly changed that made them to dive headlong into politics now? Were the founder of Christian Today, Bill Graham, alive today, would he concur with the editorial opinion which Mark Galli put up on CT? A hit job piece which Bill Graham's son, Franklin Graham, has already repudiated as not being what his father would have appreciated. 

Like the crazy Nancy Pelosi who always intones "I pray for the president", albeit sarcastically; Mark Galli claims that he loves and prays for the president; yet he called the president immoral and wants him removed from office. Query, what is so "immoral" in the president asking for the investigation of a crime committed by Joe Biden that deserves his being removed from office? With a love like Mark Galli's, the president does need any other hatred. Speaking of "loving" the president, where was Mark Galli's condemnation of the House Democrats rushed impeachment of the president, after what Mark Galli himself acknowledged was a hatchet job, done without giving the president any opportunity to defend himself? 

ICHEOKU says it becomes much doubtful to believe that Mark Galli is indeed a true follower of Jesus Christ, if after his reading of the telephone transcript he still came to the conclusion that the president "attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit the president's political opponent." 

Where was the coercion in the transcript and where was the harassment solicited for? Instead of condemning what Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden did to Ukraine, extortion and bribery, which ordinarily are against Christianity teachings and values, the real McCoy of immoral acts, this fella is channeling the liberal talking point "the president want to investigate his political opponent." They calculatedly maintain a blind eye to the crimes of the Biden father and son duo; but are rather more interested in hounding a president for merely asking that the crime be investigated. So what manner of a Christian is this Mark Galli who selectively chooses what to condemn as immoral or is extortion and bribery now morally acceptable by his brand of Christianity as virtuous? 

ICHEOKU says from the litany of mark Galli's complaints against the president and which he considers "immoral", it is obvious that political motivation cannot be completely excluded nor ruled out from his editorial hit piece. So what, if the president mistakenly hired some people with questionable characters? What is imperative and of paramount character content is what the president did upon learning of their not so kosher history. He did the right thing, as would any good moral person; he fired them. That is what good people do, they react appropriately when unfolding circumstances produce facts of consequences which forces a change of mind. 

It is also farcical for Mark Galli to falsely claim that the president "remains proud" of some of his past indiscretions, especially when there is no evidence to that effect. This further shows that his editorial piece in Christianity Today was purposely crafted to impugn, malign and disparage the president. Possibly, Mark Galli is the latest hire of the Deep State in their attempt to get the president; believing that his Christian background as editor of Christianity Today gives him some air of credibility and believability. 

The Deep State's thinking must be that American people would say since it was in Christianity Today, it must therefore be true and therefore the president should be removed from office. But once again, their attempt to break the bond which exists between the president and the American people, particularly those who identify themselves as evangelical Christians, will fail woefully because American people are smarter than all the tricks the Deep Staters are playing to ensnare them. 

Further, whatever relationships the president had with women were in the past and long before he became president. So why would Mark Galli suddenly decide to resurrect them now as one reason in his editorial piece why he wants the president removed from office. This alone defeats his argument of lack of bias and unmasks his pretentiousness on his real motive for the editorial hit job. Why dredge up things that happened over several decades ago which has been previously conclusively litigated before American people and use it to attack the president as if they just happened. 

Where was Mark Galli when all of these allegations were still fleshly unfolding during the 2016 election campaign? Where was Mark Galli's editorial in condemnation of Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton deleting and bleach-washing of 33,000 subpoenaed emails. Mark Galli also attacked the president's Twitter presence as a "habitual strings of mischaracterizations, lies and slanders" and he has no basis for this subjective opinion.  Now, can somebody please tell ICHEOKU that this fella is not actively working for the Democratic Party or would any rational person attribute an impartial  clear conscience to this editorial piece?  Now, he is mislabeling the president's Twitter use and asking that he be removed from office for exercising his freedom of speech right.

Mark Galli is a partisan hack and a hired gun of the Deep State. imagine his claim that the impeachment hearings made it "absolutely clear" that Trump abused his office; when the same Mark Galli in a previous paragraph of his editorial, admitted that the president was not allowed representation or the ability to defend himself during the impeachment persecution. Then ask yourself, how then could the same skewed impeachment hearings make the president's culpability "absolutely clear", when the president never defended nor was allowed to rebut any of the trumped up charges against him. What manner of judgment call is this, when in one hand, Mark Galli is giving and with the other hand, taking the same thing he was giving; and still shamelessly passes judgment in condemnation of the president, based on this set of consequential facts. 

This fella was also ready to dismiss all the record accomplishments of the president as pale, in comparison to a mere telephone call with Ukrainian president; including a fabulous economy, two Supreme Court Justices, Veterans Act, Prison reform, Abu Baghdadi killed, ISIS decimation, numerous trade deals etc. ICHEOKU says just listen to his characterization of the president, "None of the president's positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such "grossly immoral character." ICHEOKU says if this man is not a card carrying Democrat, nobody else is; and it is obvious from his language and carefully chosen words that he is a liberal nut job masquerading as an evangelist. 

He did not even give the president credit for being an exception to his assertion that "politicians are notorious for breaking campaign promises"; the president having kept nearly all his campaign promises plus more. Also his attempt to make a comparison with what led to Bill Clinton's 1998 impeachment is another example of his being economical with the truth. Bill Clinton actually committed a crime of perjury; unlike Trump who merely asked for a crime to be investigated, which is not a crime by itself. 

Unlike Bill Clinton, President Donald John Trump did not lie about the phone call nor asked anybody to lie about it. He also released the transcript of the phone call in addition for everybody to see what transpired and there was nothing impeachable therein. Also, Bill Clinton was not impeached for having sex in the White House with an intern Monica Lewinsky; no, he was impeached for lying about it and for asking other people to lie about it. A perjury and suborning perjury, two definitive crimes. 

So, where is the moral equivalence which Mark Galli was desperately trying to make between Bill Clinton's impeachment and the telephone call which President Trump made to the Ukrainian president. Where was the breach of trust by the president or the crime he allegedly committed by asking that a criminal act of the Biden father and son corruption duo be investigated?  Imagine Mark Galli making such an over-broad statement, "unsavory dealings and immoral acts by the president and those close to him have rendered this administration unable to lead"; and you ask yourself how many "unsavory dealings and immoral acts" occurred? 

This fella is supposedly a Christian and he is making things up like Adam Schiff. Who even made this fella the whisperer in chief of the American people who elected President Trump and put him in office, to know what American people want by calling for the removal of their president from office. How dare him? How can this man even compare the evil of abortions to a character flaw which he hyped as "blackened, bent and broken"; aware that no man or woman is infallible or was he expecting a Messiah in the White House. 

ICHEOKU says good enough Mr Mark Galli subsequently confessed that he is not a Trump supporter and has merely been tolerating the feelings and opinions of those evangelical Christians who are supporters of the president. In his own words, "we have done our best to give evangelical Trump supporters their due, to try to understand their point of view, to see the prudential nature of so many political decisions they have made regarding Trump." Unfortunately, it would seem that Mr Mark Galli, like his other fellow Never Trumpers, facing an inevitable Trump's reelection on November 3rd, 2020, could not take it anymore and he decided on an outburst.

A pitiful partisan and a Never Trumper extraordinaire; yet some people are attaching some merit, relevance and importance to his editorial piece and passing it off as gospel and reflective of the evangelical community in America. ICHEOKU says far be it that Mark Galli speaks for the evangelical community in America. It will be akin to CNN speaking for American people when only about 300,000 Americans including those held hostage to CNN at airports, less than 0.3% of the population, tune in to their hogwash fake news propaganda nightly.

Anyway, the other good news is that editorial opinions do not generally reflect American people's sentiments and thinking; nor do they affect anything American people do. The numerous editorial opinions in 2016 did not sway American people in the 2016 election, otherwise Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton would be in the White House today. ICHEOKU recalls that in 2016, practically every newspaper and magazine of record in America editorialized against electing Donald John Trump and urged American people not to vote for him. But on the night of November 8th, 2016, American people told them to stuff it in their you know where and took their country back from globalists, anti America forces who were bent on humiliating America. 

ICHEOKU says the patriotic fervor displayed by American people with their votes on November 8th, 2016 will be reenacted in 2020. As it was in 2016, so shall it be repeated in 2020. American people have seen in President Donald John Trump that their decision in 2016 was the right one and that they did not make a mistake. Therefore, regardless of what this creepy editor of Christianity Today wishes, President Donald John Trump will not be removed from office and he will win the November 3rd 2020 presidential election, his reelection for a second term. What a jerk Mark Galli is, a hack partisan, anti Trump Never Trumper liberal Democrat and a stooge of the Deep State, who does not mean well for America. it is delightful that he has tendered his resignation or is it retirement; good riddance; away with him and his editorial opinion.
