Thanks, Arne, for posting.
Years ago my brother visited me at the condominium here, to see the Boss, while I was in a life phase where I was spending many hours looking for employment...
My reasons for writing academic websites are multi-purpose. These include, personal spiritual and academic development, career promotion and of course ministry. When discussing online posts, I informed my brother that I intentionally minimized political writing and he replied that as he was promoting his business, he limited political posts as well, and that I was wise to do likewise. His comments were wise.
In light of various New Testament, biblical commands (examples) to love one's neighbour (Matthew 22, Mark 12), love your enemy (Matthew 5, Luke 6), love others in Christ (Gospel of John, 1 John) and to make disciplines (Matthew 28); Some of the President Trump political discussions are quite polarizing within the Christian Church.
I know professing Christians that are both on the liberal side and the conservative side, taking very aggressive stances. I embrace their liberty to do so in our Western democracies. But, I sense that some of my liberal friends doubt the Christianity of my conservative Christian friends and that some of my conservative Christian friends doubt the Christianity of more liberal Christian friends. I have my political leanings, as a moderate conservative, but as humanity is universally sinful (Romans 1-6), I am far more interested in dogmatic theology and doctrine, than dogmatic politics.
Each political party and movement, as is everything human, is significantly tainted by sin, and this also effects views expressed. This requires careful, objective, non-heated evaluations.
(As with academic work)
