No, "Rededicate 250" did not really feature any real Christians

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2026/05/evangelical-white-christian.html

There was some complaining about the fact that all of the speakers at this particular event except one were Christians.

I would disagree with that assessment. "Christian" is not a term I would use to describe most of the speakers in that lineup. Pseudo-Christian, yes, in that many of them are Evangelical, which is more of a political designation these days than a doctrinal or theological branch of Christianity. But using the definition of "Christian" established by several of the Bible's New Testament writers, and the very words spoken in testimony of the faith, theology and doctrine held by the Evangelical speakers in this lineup, the conclusion must be made that they are not, by their own testimony, Christian, according to the words of the Biblical authors.


Left to consider who these people are, and what they've done with regard to ministry, it would be my observation that they are very much in love with money, and have figured out how to convince their constituents to part with some of theirs, hoping to stimulate their own financial windfall which is the only salvation and blessing dispensed by the god they have invented. That's what they preach and teach. The redemptive message of the Christian gospel, which includes repentance, submission to Christ, restoration and a lifestyle based on the practice of a set of principles can't be found among Trump's Evangelical sycophants. Just listen to them. Not a single one of the Beatitudes provides a blessing of money, but all of the blessings of the Trump Evangelical heretics are measured by how much of it they have.

And what to they have to say to any of us? None of them worries about putting a roof over their head, or where their next meal will come from as their food costs and medication costs have surged because of the Iran war, and none of them cares about what price they will pay for a gallon of gas at the pump. Nor do they care about the millions of Americans who live on a fraction of what they do, on a social security check or a tiny pension. And because of that, they have absolutely nothing to say to me, or to the millions of other Americans like me.

So go peddle your phony pseudo-Christian "gospel" somewhere else.

their pastors and telling them that their sermon regarding the beattitudes and the sermon on the mount were too woke.

Jesus was probably the most woke person that ever lived.
