(OPINION) CBN – It wasn’t exactly an exposition on spiritual warfare. Last week during a radio interview with Eric Metaxas, evangelist Franklin Graham was about to say that he thought it was “almost a demonic power that is trying” to oppose President Trump, according to the Washington Examiner. At that point, radio host Eric Metaxas interrupted, saying “I would disagree. It’s not almost demonic. You know and I know, at the heart, it’s a spiritual battle.” Graham agreed, and then, essentially, went on to say how unusual it is to see such opposition to a president with a record-breaking economy.
That’s it. It was actually the beginning of a conversation that never got developed. And certainly not a full explanation of spiritual warfare. Yet, Peter Wehner writes in The Atlantic, “Just ask yourself where this game ends. Do demonic powers explain opposition to all politicians supported by Graham and Metaxas, or to Trump alone? Would they argue that all Christians (and non-Christians) who oppose Trump are under the influence of Satan?” The Christian Post reports that Metaxas took to Twitter to reject the claim that he and Graham were labeling all opposition to Trump as being “demonic” in nature.
