It Is Official: White Evangelicals Gave Victory to Trump
By Julio

White
evangelicals are doing a powerful difference in the United States. Thanks especially
to them, Donald Trump is now the president of the United States. Thanks to them
and their love of Israel, one of the first measures of Trump was to invite
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the U.S. for talks.
White evangelicals (including Pentecostals and
charismatics) voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. According to the
Washington Post, 81 percent of them chose Trump and just 16 percent chose Hillary.
In
contrast, among traditional Protestants
(Presbyterians, Lutherans, Methodists, etc.), 59 percent chose Hillary and just
35 chose Trump.
Among
Catholics, 52 percent chose Trump and 45 percent chose Hillary.
Among
Jews, 71 percent chose Hillary and
just 24 percent chose Trump.
So WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange was right when he said
that evangelicals were the only “establishment” massively supporting Trump. But
this support was not easy, because evangelicals were worried about his personal
sexual behavior.
Trump’s
candidacy led to divisions within different evangelical camps. The prominent
evangelical theologian Wayne Grudem endorsed Trump, pulled back his endorsement
and then re-endorsed him.
In
spite of his personal moral weaknesses (which were not worse than the moral
problems of Hillary and her husband Bill), Trump continued to receive support
from major evangelical leaders, including Pat Robertson and Tony Perkins.
Even
though Trump has always been a nominal Presbyterian, he and his vice-president
have been receiving today personal regular advice, prayers and visits from
evangelical, charismatic and Pentecostal leaders.
Trump’s
support from white evangelicals could be explained by their deep dislike for Hillary’s
pro-abortion and pro-sodomy activism.
Black
evangelicals — who represent 2 in 5 evangelicals — also dislike Hillary’s activism.
But, according to Christianity Today, they largely chose Hillary.
Among
Latinos (including Brazilians), about 71 percent chose Hillary.
WND (WorldNetDaily)
said that the impact and the growth of liberal-leaning minorities, mostly Latin
American, will be felt in the next four decades.
According
to WND, 2016 was the last presidential election where whites were a majority.
In the next elections, they will be a minority, and the new majorities from
other races and their liberal proclivities will prevail.
Massive
immigration to America, brought by liberal politics, will have the
expected effect against white evangelicals who are preserving and defending
Christian conservatism in America.
If
God does not intervene, this may be the last opportunity for white evangelicals
make an impact for Jesus Christ in the U.S. government. For decades, American
conservative evangelical presidents, including George W. Bush, promised to acknowledge
Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, but they never fulfilled their promises.
If
evangelicals encourage Trump to make this acknowledgement and transfer the U.S.
Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, God will move for these evangelicals, Trump
and America.
The
anticonservative strategy of the socialist opportunistic Democratic Party is to
facilitate the immigration of liberals who will transform the majority of white
evangelicals into a weakened minority.
But
evangelicals have a strategic God. If this is the last chance for white
evangelicals as a majority, they should work hard to use it in the best way
possible.
Large
families are one of God’s strategies. If evangelicals did not follow the
contraceptive mindset, they would have larger families, who would keep their
necessary majority and could resist for more decades the massive immigration of
liberals.
God
and large families are the only hope for conservative evangelicals in America.
