Crisis of faith: How can Christians prevent political passion from turning to unholy furor?
Jeremiah Johnson, after publicly admitting January 7 that he had wrongly prophesied that Trump would win the election: “Over the last 72 hours, I have received multiple death threats and thousands upon thousands of emails from Christians saying the nastiest and most vulgar things I have ever heard toward my family and ministry. … I truthfully never realized how absolutely triggered and ballistic thousands and thousands of saints get about Donald Trump. It’s terrifying. It’s full of idolatry.” - WORLD

Johnson was very surprised that a bunch of professing Christians who look to man-made prophecies based on his dreams rather than the Scriptures would take it badly when he proved to be false? And the fact that it was people’s irrational reaction rather than his own false prophecy that caused him to question his position is revealing. I don’t know what this is, but it’s not Christianity.
