Alphus and omegus, I half wish I had not mentioned Metaxas thinking it off subject. But on the other hand he might represent someone a part of a narrow set of beliefs that generate a sense of belonging to the right group. I watched, endured, a couple of you tube presentations hoping to get a clue as to his thinking. I found nothing to explain why he views supporting Trump as the same as Bonhoeffer resisting Nazi demands. He appears to assume it is obvious and that his audience also sees it that way. No need to explain. One thing I watched included him addressing the Pauline instruction to submit to civil authorities. Metexas proposes that the current situation is so dire that the need to resist overrides. I am not able to get into his head far enough to understand what Metaxas imagines is going on in America to justify that. (does he imagine transexual commies overrunning the capital building? I don't know.)Alphus and Omegus wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2023 3:33 amMetaxas is indeed a terrible person, very manipulative and dishonest, especially about the guy he pretends to understand most, Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Eric Metaxas is a Republican consultant disguised as a Christian author. Here he is claiming that Jesus told him to whine about the 2020 election. Naturally, he doesn't even pretend to address Paul's and Jesus's repeated calls to submit to civil authorities:
