Should the Church have voted for Trump or not?

[zoeenglishministry]

This question, mind you, is being posted here: the collective of superior academic and theologically adept men and women who have a plethora of experience to back their views and reviews. To those who cling tightly to the supremacy of Scripture, the ultimate sufficiency of Christ, I need wisdom on the following:

Why did you vote for Trump?

If you did not, then why did you vote for Biden? What I am asking for here are in-depth theological answers, purified from personal opinion or individual political inclination. I fully understand the responses folks had when Grudem first supported Trump on this forum but, please, please, be aware: there are sound theologians who are in opposition. As such, I am looking for theologically pastoral (perhaps an oxymoron to some) answer to the question: should the Church have voted for Trump or not? Why?

Blessings to all as I covet your theological wisdom, liberated from personal opinion.

I am not really sure what such a discussion, especially after an election, will achieve - other than to generate yet more strife. If you really want to know the arguments for and against, just read through previous threads on the subject.

Perhaps read John Pipers article on desiring God. https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/policies-persons-and-paths-to-ruin "Actually, this is a long-overdue article attempting to explain why I remain baffled that so many Christians consider the sins of unrepentant sexual immorality (porneia), unrepentant boastfulness (alazoneia), unrepentant vulgarity (aischrologia), unrepentant factiousness (dichostasiai), and the like, to be only toxic for our nation, while policies that endorse baby-killing, sex-switching, freedom-limiting, and socialistic overreach are viewed as deadly."

Just pay attention for the next four years to see why I voted against Biden. Prior to that, I voted against Hillary.

Third-party voter here, second time in a row. But between the two, I would have voted Trump. Now as to your question, I don't have "purely theological reasons" why I would have selected him. I have political and strategic ones. Is that so strange? It's a political job, last I heard.

This belongs in the politics and government forum, a members only forum, which members access once they have posted a couple dozen times. Since you can't access yet, I'm not moving the thread but I am closing it.
