Todd Talk: Public Rebuke, Private Faith, and Biblical Misunderstandings
A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.
My friends, yesterday on Facebook, a Christian told me I was sinning by publicly disagreeing with President Trump’s comments about Rob Reiner.
She cited Jesus’ words in Matthew, instructing believers to go to a brother privately first. That is a biblical principle, and it absolutely matters.
But this was a misapplication of the principle.
The president made a public statement, on a public platform, as a public official. People publicly asked him to take it down. He didn’t. I then shared my thoughts publicly.
My comments weren’t about condemning the president. They were about how we speak truth in a volatile political culture — the balance between truth, grace, and free speech.
She used a public platform to accuse me of doing the very thing she claimed was wrong.
Friends, I don’t mind disagreement. I just think she’s mistaken.
