The group aims to convince evangelicals of the Christian bona fides of Kamala Harris, but they have to distort orthodox Christianity to do so. The group’s website features a pagedevoted to “Kamala’s Faith Story,” which is, in fact, a story, although not a Christian one. It includes no mention at all of Jesus Christ or of His death and resurrection for sinners. It does, however, include this claim: “While a deeply committed and faithful Christian, Vice President Harris has great respect for other faith traditions. Her mother Shyamala Gopalan and relatives in India took her to Hindu temples. She joins her husband, Doug Emhoff, in Jewish traditions and celebrations.”
Over the weekend, the group known as Evangelicals for Harris released an announcement about an online confab of Christians who are coming together for a singular purpose: “to help elect Vice President Kamala Harris president of the United States and Gov. Tim Walz vice president.” The organization bills the gathering as an opportunity for Christians to participate in the “community service” of getting the Democratic ticket elected, calling it “a Matthew 25 witness of love of neighbor as our response to the unifying vision of the Harris-Walz ticket. That is what we want Evangelicals for Harris to be known for first.” The group has scheduled an online event, “inviting all Christians and people of good will to please join us for a Zoom call to be encouraged and engaged.”
Who are these Evangelicals for Harris? The founder is the Rev. Jim Ball, who previously presided over an Evangelicals for Biden group. There are 19 speakers set to participate in the upcoming event, some of whom are more well-known than others:
- Bishop Claude Alexander, pastor of The Park Church in Charlotte, N.C., who serves on the board of trustees for Gordon-Conwell Seminary and as chairman of the board of directors at Christianity Today.
There’s a story that Tim Wahl wants to expel all the Christian teachers from the schools in his state. So why would an anti-Christian like Wahl is work with Kamala if she’s really the Christian the Evangelicals for Harris say she is? Is Wahl being the hypocrite or is Kamala really not a Christian any more than Wahl is? Any more than Obama was/is?
It looks like a false front to me, like the Devil pretending to be an angel of light.
As we know, Democrats (with some exceptions) are not known as truth-tellers. Kamala and Walz are not truth-tellers, meaning Kamala is not a Christian. But she’ll make out like she is one if it gets her your vote.
I hear that. It’s just another lie added to all the ones we’ve already heard.
Which means those “evangelicals” for Kamala are also fake, just like Obama’s “Rev.” Wright was also fake.
