“I said [to Trump] ‘any real, true believer is going to be on your side in this election,’ because it’s not just an individual, it’s an entire set of policies that Christians cannot in any way affirm”.
“There’s no way that a Christian can affirm the slaughter of babies, homosexual activity, homosexual marriage, or any kind of gross immorality” – MacArthur.
Grace Community Church Pastor John MacArthur recently said that “any real” Christian will vote for Republican President Donald Trump in November because they cannot support the policy agenda of the Democratic Party.

MacArthur is mired in a legal battle with California officials over his church holding indoor worship services during the state’s second-imposed lockdown in response to COVID-19.
In an interview with the Falkirk Center at Liberty University in August, MacArthur discussed a phone conversation he had with the president over the litigation.
“He called me after the Sunday morning service and he was very gracious and said, ‘I just want to thank you for taking a stand. Church is essential, and I’m glad you’re doing what you’re doing,’” MacArthur recalled.

The pastor then explained that he and the president “talked a little bit about why, certainly from a biblical standpoint, Christians could not vote Democratic.”
“There’s no way that a Christian can affirm the slaughter of babies, homosexual activity, homosexual marriage, or any kind of gross immorality,” MacArthur asserted.
“No way we could stand behind a candidate who was affirming transgender behavior, which of course is really the ‘reprobate mind’ of Romans 1.”

MacArthur said he told Trump that abortion and LGBT matters “aren’t even political of us,” but rather “these things are biblical; these things are laid down by the Word of God.”
“I said [to Trump] ‘any real, true believer is going to be on your side in this election,’ because it’s not just an individual, it’s an entire set of policies that Christians cannot in any way affirm,” he added, according to Christian Post.

Faith Is More Powerful Than Government And Nothing Is More Powerful Than God – Trump
A preacher is not supposed to be telling true believers who to vote for and neither is he supposed to judge true believers by which politician they support because that causes division among believers.
Church is too much involved in politics. Yes pray for the politicians but stick to the Great Commission.
God is in control for HE removes kings and sets up kings. “The lot is cast into the lap [the people vote] but its every decision is from the Lord.”
Christians should be of one accord. Politics cause schisms.
Stop looking unto man to save you! Stop the fear. Jesus says to you:
“Fear not: believe only.”
@Amanda, this is not about politics!
It is the truth;that a true Christians cannot vote for the Democratic Party Platform. It has never been about the person; but the platform. Although God rules in the affairs of men. Men are still needed to vote.
A Pastor is meant to enlightened the Church and Mac Arthur have done nothing wrong by doing that. He has in no way imposed his choice on anyone.
Mind you let your choice be based on “What is written” A sincere and a discerning Christian knows that-on comparing the Republican and Democratic Party Platform the Democratic Party have(if not completely)drifted from biblical values.
