Albert Mohler Says That Christians who Vote for Democrats are being ‘Unfaithful’ + ‘Voting Wrongly’
Albert Mohler has gone off on Christians who choose to vote for Democrats in the coming election, or do not vote at all, calling anyone who does so ‘unfaithful; and ‘voting wrongly’. He made these comments at the 2022 ‘Pray, Vote, Stand Summit’ this past week, setting off a firestorm of critiques from the usual suspects.
Every single election matters. But every single election is followed by the next one. And faithfulness now is absolutely necessary and frankly, just given the temporality of life, we’ve got to give primary attention to faithfulness right now. 2022 in the United States means votes matter. And we have a responsibility to make certain that Christians understand the stewardship of the vote, which means the discipleship of the vote, which means the urgency of the vote, the treasure of the vote, and they need to understand that insofar as they do not vote or they vote wrongly, they are unfaithful because the vote is a powerful stewardship.
Though once a never-Trumper, Mohler has changed his beliefs and has previously said: “I’ll speak bluntly. I voted for Donald Trump for president of the United States. I encouraged others to vote for him too. Based upon the binary choice we faced on November the third, I believe then that that was the right action to take, and going back to November the third, I would do the same thing again.“
Representative of a wealth of pushback from the progressive left is noted pro-choice SBC pastor Dwight McKissic, who wrongly asserts that Mohler’s suggesting that one is not a Christian if they don’t vote Republican. That’s not what he’s saying, and the fact that the one-person hysteria generator can’t recognize it is unsurprising and par for the course.
One can still be a Christian and do sinful, unfaithful, and stupid things, such as choosing to lie, or gossip, or attend McKissic’s church and give him any sort of credibility.
Mohler has responded to the offense, offering that this is the same message he’s been preaching his whole life, and is unapologetic about it.

There is legislation working through, at both federal and state level, which codifies the extortion of Christians, forcing us to choose between violating the law of the land or violating God’s Word. That legislation is supported by all democrats, and by an increasing number of republicans.
You can’t be Christian and vote democrat
That is an undeniable, Biblically accurate statement.
Are you upset you can’t comment in comic sans, “Dr”?
🥱
This is good from Mohler, but I have to wonder how many of the professors at his seminary now are NOT Democrats? Sounds to me like he has been purging the Republicans.
Good to see somebody not cower before the Designated Racial Bully of the SBC, Dwight McKissic.
Well, since Potatus once said that if you vote Republican you ain’t black, this seems to follow.
Mohler got this singular point correct. I don’t trust him on anything else …
don’t trust snakes…Ol’ Al needs to fade into oblivion.
Mohler is a wolf in his renewed sheep’s clothing. He has apparently decided to stay with the faithful saints, or more correctly pretend to stay with the saints. He has never repented from his traitorous actions in the SBC over CRT and all things related. He has his finger up seeing which way the wind blows again. Just like he did in early 1990’s with the Conservative Resurgence.
He enabled Russell Moore, Matt Hall, so many corrupt leaders a SBTS and has never repented and confessed his sin openly. Dr. Russell Fuller, whom he fired from SBTS in 2020 said it best when he said Al Mohler is a double agent.
Beware of the WOLF named Al Mohler. His lack of public repentance for public harm to the Body of Christ proves his true colors. He will strike again later, if given the opportunity.
Reject him totally, unless and until he clearly repents and fires the young wolves he has hired, and resigns from his role at SBTS. This is biblical!
