THIS PRETTY MUCH MIRRORS THE EVANGEICAL PASTOR WHO GOD SPOKE TO AND SAID GET A BIGGER JET:
many evangelicals — call the project anti-Christian for what they see as its implicit endorsement of a president who fosters attitudes and policies toward immigrants, minorities and the poor that they think contradict Jesus’ teaching to prioritize the marginalized.
More than 1,900 people, some who identify themselves as students or graduates of the Lynchburg, Va., school — one of the largest Christian universities in the world — have signed a petition demanding the cancellation of the project.
The film centers on a firefighter who in 2011 said God told him Trump would be president, and the petition rejects this idea of a modern-day prophet. It also rejects what it describes as the film’s open support of Trump.
As one signatory, Benjamin Rogers, who identified himself as a Liberty student and a Christian, said: “What is the point of making this movie other than to further push Donald Trump up on a Messianic pedestal?”
“It’s putting politics over the Gospel. It’s putting political ideology over faith,” said the Rev. Jim Wallis, founder of the progressive Christian group Sojourners. He called “The Trump Prophecy” “heretical” for trying to link God with a particular electoral outcome.
Falwell’s endorsement of Trump, support that has led some Liberty students to return their diplomas.
