https://www.onenewsnow.com/perspectives ... bout-trumpThis is a pretty interesting perspective on Moore's tenure at the ERLC. The author contends that Moore started angering political conservatives several years back, not just with his trashing of the orange haired buffoon.
Moore has angered conservatives because of the following list of reasons:
1. He's caricatured and discredited conservatives and the Religious Right.
2. He's chastised conservatives for embracing politics at the expense of the gospel, as he's regularly commented on and engaged in (largely liberal) politics.
3. He's said he would attend a same-sex wedding reception, has dialogued with homosexual activists (while marginalizing a conservative ministry that reaches out to those struggling with homosexuality) and baselessly repudiated a straw-man caricature of reparative therapy
4. Only certain political candidates at Christian campuses drew his public opposition, while certain Southern Baptist GOP candidates were left off the invite list of the ERLC presidential candidates forum.
5. Throughout the 2016 campaign, Moore not only routinely criticized Donald Trump, but also appeared to delight in the provocation.
6. While regularly criticizing Donald Trump, Moore had little to say about Hillary Clinton, although he did note that he once wanted to marry a woman just like her.
7. Under Moore's leadership, the ERLC jumped on board legally to help the Obama Administration bully a New Jersey township into allowing a mosque to be built, despite the township planners' concerns about a lack of details on issues like parking and buffer zones bordering the site's residential neighborhoods.
8. Despite the fact that the SBC has strongly supported the nation of Israel, Moore and the ERLC have yet to issue any statement opposing the barbaric, anti-Israel UNSC Resolution 2334.'
These are headings from a commentary by Janet Mefferd, a commentator for American Family Radio, which already makes her facts subject to question and suspect. She makes several assertions about things that have already been proven to be false, including about Muslim immigration.
If Moore has done all this, and I'm sure the perspective is quite slanted in this opinion piece, then Southern Baptists really do need him, and he has returned some measure of credibility to a denomination which, frankly, is not really taken seriously.
