Thomas Jefferson made his own version of the Bible that removed all of its miracles, but evangelicals take pride in believing all of the miracles of the Bible.
Evangelicals believe that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God. That means that by faith (suspension of disbelief) they accept as Gospel all of these Biblical miracles that defy physics and common sense:
A donkey chastises the prophet Balaam for whipping him. I wish the Almighty would grant all of his creatures the ability to speak, the way we mistreat animals is an abomination.
Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed!
After Jesus’ resurrection many men and women were raised from the dead. That’s an excellent premise for a horror zombie flick that would scare the Bejesus out of believers and unbelievers alike.
The Earth stopped spinning for a day so that the ancient Israelites could do what they did best, engage in genocide.
The default theological mode of evangelicals is: The Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it.
But today’s white evangelicals put more stock in the words and wisdom of Donald Trump and the platform of the Republican Party than they do in the teachings of the Bible.
They eschew the teaching of Jesus Christ to “turn the other cheek” and instead adopt Trump’s example of getting even with your enemies by any means possible.
Because they believe in the supernatural miracles of the Bible, they’re conditioned to believe in QAnon conspiracy theories: there’s a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who secretly control the government, the covid-19 vaccination is the sign of the Antichrist, Trump won the 2020 presidential election in a landslide …
Summary: Evangelicals are a sorry lot who don’t use their brains or their hearts to correctly interpret the Bible, so it should come as no surprise that they fell for the vain babbling of a 3rd rate con man who miraculously became president of the United States.
