New President: implications

Feb 1, 2021 by

Joe Biden’s Presidency has implications for bible-believing Christians. Analysis and comment, most recent at the top:

Biden: Fundamentally Trans-forming America by Tony Perkins, FRC: ‘Biden is the most “pro-transgender president in history“–easily beating out eight years of Barack Obama on Day 1. Within hours, he’d thrown down the gauntlet on the military, schools, federal agencies, and any other workplace with a legitimate reason to respect the biological sexes.’

Religious Liberty Isn’t Enoughby Ryan T Anderson, Wall Street Journal: “President Biden’s pledge to heal and unify seems to mean giving the far left everything it demands in the culture wars. Conservatives therefore must resist. Yet in doing so we must avoid the trap of framing every debate as if it were about religious liberty.”

Crisis of faith, by Jamie Dean, World Magazine: Plenty of Christians voted for Trump without idolizing him, and the majority didn’t riot. But the religious fervor—and sometimes furor—surrounding Trump’s defeat raises questions for evangelicals across the theological spectrum: How can Christians promote good policy without losing gospel perspective? How can we remind ourselves—and others—that politics is important, but not ultimate?”

Biden Embraces Augustine, but would Augustine Embrace Biden? by David Virtue, Virtueonline: “…since he took office, Biden has issued a number of Executive Orders that Augustine might not feel so sanguine about. In fact, he might feel downright insulted that he had been misquoted or taken out of context or worse, used for a variety of issues that Augustine could not or would not in the least support.”

Faithfulness and the Futureby Rick Plasterer, Juicy Ecumenism: “The assumption of power by the political left, which is taking both the White House and Congress, with the ideas of the hard left as the driving force, puts traditional Christians in a position in which we must take stock and assess our non-negotiables.”

Bishops say order on LBGTQ equality has implications for religious libertyby Julie Asher, Crux: President Joe Biden’s wide-ranging executive order to extend existing federal nondiscrimination protections to LGBTQ people goes beyond protecting rights to gainful employment, education and basic human services free of unjust discrimination. It threatens to infringe the rights of people who recognize the truth of sexual difference or who uphold the institution of lifelong marriage between one man and one woman. say Catholic Bishops.”
