My response to a MAGA pastor who isn't a fan.

Published 2024-05-03
This video is part of my Christian Case Against Donald Trump series, but I don't have a particular chapter to put it into. I was thinking about what it means to be an ambassador for Christ when I saw the comment from this pastor. It helped me to understand some of the distorted thinking that lies beneath the MAGA Christian worldview.

  • A candidate who supported " Christian values" would never proclaim that he would seek retribution on his " enemies".

    I was also a Conservative Christian Republican until Donald Trump. He claims to be a Christian, but can’t or won’t treat others with kindness.
  • @suvariboy
    Thank you for the work that you do. We need more Christians like you to call Donald Trump out. He’s using Christians for his own personal gain.
  • @Habitual_Liar
    Closed borders, strong economy, strength through power are not Christian values. Try love, understanding, compassion, generosity, acceptance.

    I’m a Christian who has broken off from my church because of their support for Trump, you gave me hope that I’m not the only Christian seeing the evil that this man has caused to our country.

    I thank God for you, Pastor Kahnke. Thank you for clear, biblical thinking about this upside down Christian vortex that we're in right now. Thank you for keeping me sane and not get so depressed about my entranced MAGA Christian friends & family. I think the pastor who is sickened by you may feel sick because in his soul he knows that you're right. I think this is probably the most prolific spiritual war we've seen in our lifetime. It's amazing that Christians don't see the similarities between Trump's tactics & Hitler's tactics - especially the tactic of giving the populous a target to hate and keep repeating lies until they believe them. May God keep you and direct your steps. Thank you for your ministry!

    I too was a lifelong republican until Trump came along. You know your heart and God knows your heart, that mega pastor will be judged on his! Don't change! We need you

    Beware the pastor who tell you how to vote and the politician who tell you how to pray.
  • @ZenBearV13
    As an atheist raised in the Christian faith, it’s a relief to see a Christian that actually cares about what his faith ordains. Such a rare sight these days.
  • @BreakingGaia
    I'm an atheist, but somehow you came up on my feed. Thank you for spreading your message. Thank you for being honest, kind, and respectful.
  • Thank you for speaking out, I am a Christian with a lot of Christian friends. I was a Republican until Trump. Can't vote for him. My friends think I am really wrong and it is very hard being around them. They believe that Kim Clement gave a prophetic word that Trump should be President and that is final. Trump has hurt this country and Christianity so much.
  • Also a Presidential candidate who " stood for democracy" would not proclaim that any election where he didn't win was " rigged". He lost and he needs to " man up" and admit it.
  • @outdoorqrandma
    Very sad that a Pastor would state Christian values are closed borders. My Pastor has always instructed me to help my neighbors!
  • @morrisfam
    You’re a Christian I was afraid no longer exists. Thank you for this.
  • Excellent response to a critic. Respectful and thorough. This kind of response is not popular today. But this does demonstrate what you mean by being ambassadors of Christ. Repentance is the only hope for American Christianity.
  • @MeldaRavaniel
    I'd even nitpick and say that Biden doesn't have "followers". People vote for Biden. They don't follow (or worship...) him. 8:32
  • Buddhist here. Pastor I just wanted to tell you that I listen to you again and again because you're a thoughtful, reasonable person speaking truth about what we face. I appreciate your gentle way of speaking and reasoning with other Christians. This gives me hope that maybe we can avert dark times ahead for all of us if fascism overtakes America. Thank you for all of your efforts. Deep Bow.
  • The role of Christians in the world was defined by Christ Himself: "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." John 13:34

    I praise God for you Pastor Pat Kahnke. I prayed to God for sanity. He sent me you!!!
