Wayne Northey response to Robert P. Jones, "What white Christian support for Trump reveals about systemic racism," Broadview 11-12-20.
Exit polls suggest a legacy of white supremacy is still dividing the country.
Beyond tragic, this means four-fifths of American white evangelical Christians subscribe to “heresy” (an opinion, doctrine, or practice contrary to the truth–Merriam-Webster). And this not limited to America! And many religious white non-evangelicals (Catholics, mainline Protestants, other faith members, etc.) also are 'heretics' in this way!
“Heresy” means in Greek (amongst variants) “a self-chosen opinion” (Strong’s). And if chosen, as with all opinions, it can be unchosen. This is what metanoia entails: “change of mind, repentance” (Strong’s).
