Lauded
by the broader American Christian community, Kayleigh McEnany continually
demonstrates that she is both a serial liar and a person in the severest grip
of self-deception. She continues to stand by Donald Trump, a person that
essentially wears his reprobation on his sleeve and McEnany seems to equate her
Trumpian fidelity with Christian virtues and ethics – demonstrating only just
how lost she is.
Even worse, she ties her claims of her being absolutely
truthful to the fact that she is a 'woman of faith' and in doing so she
condemns herself. In reality she is calling down a curse on herself along the
lines of Ananias and Sapphira. She is lying to God even while claiming her
actions are done in faithfulness and to His honour.
She perpetuated Trump's lies (and not just misinformation but
disinformation) about everything from the virus to his private conduct. She
covered for him because despite her claims McEnany knows nothing of Christian
ethics. She lives by the world's ethos of the end justifies the means. She
thinks she can do evil that good may come.
In fact her own record regarding Trump condemns her. She once
condemned him until he became her meal ticket to influence and money –
something she now has in abundance. For mammon is her true god.
A patently immoral woman, her elevation and esteem by the
Christian community is but another case of judgment upon it. God is clearly
handing over mainstream Christian circles to the same reprobate mind. They have
sold themselves out to do evil and so their ability to discern between what is
good and evil, what is God's will and what isn't – that ability is
progressively being taken away. This isn't new nor did it originate with the
likes of Trump, McEnany or even the appearance and popularity of the FOX
channel. These are but signs and symptoms of forces that have been at work
within American Christianity for decades. It is the same spirit of deception
sent as judgment upon the likes of Saul and Ahab – False Church/Antichrist
figures and close cousins to American Christianity.
As I've stated before, all presidents and politicians lie.
But they lie in different ways. Sometimes it's through omission and obfuscation.
They deflect, pivot, spin, distract or more often than not frame issues in a
dishonest way. Sometimes they out and out lie and deliberately spread
disinformation. But Trump was unique. He is a serial bald-faced liar of the
highest order. He lies with abandon. There is literally no truth in him. He
lives by the lie. It defines his very character. While I don't believe any
American presidents have been Christians, Trump is one figure that you can say
is not and you can say this without qualification, doubt, or apology.
That Christians have hitched their wagons to this man and
many reckon him among the brethren, is simply judgment and that the likes
McEnany have whored themselves out to his name and cause only demonstrates what
they are – and it's not Christian.
Does McEnany really believe her own claims? Does she really
think she's a truth-teller and that her life, character, career and the like
reflect Christian values? It might be. In which case she can be simply labeled
as a deceived deceiver and she is to be pitied because she's one of the people
we read about in Matthew 7.
The Guardian article is also replete with errors and false
information. It is not my intention to give such outlets a pass. All news must
be read and studied carefully. But the difference is this. The Guardian is
patently un-Christian and materialist in its worldview and ethics. It has its
set of values it promotes and thus its reporting is also of limited value. I
find some interesting stories there but I don't 'sign on' to the vision or
values of any news outlet. I can't say the same with FOX which is simply a
vehicle for deception and manipulation. Additionally FOX has hitched its wagon
to the Christian Right in many instances and thus I evaluate it on a different
level. The Guardian has nothing to do with Christianity. It stands condemned
but not in the same way FOX does. FOX's lies and those of its entertainer-propagandists
are (from a Christian perspective) far more deceitful and dangerous.
The enemy has set up shop in the midst of the Christian community and he is having his way with them – and because he tickles their ears and feeds their appetites, they love to have it so.
