in terms of donald trump, which is blasphemous. the idolatry of politics has , been around for a long time before trump and since it was never uprooted, it has been allowed to grow and kind of go wild. that's how you have so many people who do not see the cognitive dissonance there. and that is concerning. as part of the reason i wrote the book. i felt it's important as a christian to call this out, that these beliefs do motivate circus people to move to violence. we need to for sure draw a straight line that violence is not an option but also start uprooting the lies and i trawl a tree and getting back to the heart of the fifth. >> it's extraordinary what you put into writing this book. can you leverage, the rise of extremism in the past but the piece pretty good luck with that. it is an important message. it's very good to see you, too. have missed you. the nbc news poll with one

Idols and idolatry

A popular leader or public figure who inspires others is also called an idol. However, to refer to images and statues of gods and goddesses as idols, could carry with it a negative connotation.

across the country regardless of whose name is at the top of the pack. of the infrastructure that those in the pac put forward stayed there. >> and that got me a trump ad that trump shared. for some folks in the faith-based community that will seem adoll trous. >> we're to ask evangelical pastors from iowa about that. why do you think trump holds on to 51% evangelical voters, compared to ron desantis's 20% in iowa. >> a great book about this dynamic, what swe have seen is, and he saw this with his father. idolatry around trump and supplanting america has the top of the ticket in your heart should always be jesus christ and that messaging. that's a real problem for a lot of evangelicals who are actually trying to be based in the bible.

having messianic overtones, here's part of it. >> god looked down and said i need a care taker, god gave us trump. god said -- >> pastor decker, your response to that, does it concern you at all? >> again, he didn't create it. i don't think that he thinks that. he posts lots of things, and i think he does it to troll people, honestly. you get down inside, he is very clearly stated behind the scenes that he is, you know, he has the fear of god. and wants, you know, he's not there yet as far as i'm concerned. i would love to see him become and grow more of a conscience in a lot of areas, but i think he has a proven track record of being a good president and especially on abortion. >> quickly, dr. lubinis, any concerns about idolatry? >> it's not so much about what

president trump does, it's the people who follow him. there are some that are way over the top that almost anything he would do, and of course, he said, anything he would do people would support him. that's concerning to me, and it is getting close to the definition of idolatry. >> i really appreciate this conversation to both of you. i know you're probably going to get out and caucus tonight. bundle up and thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. >> thank you. today marks 100 days since the deadly october 7th terror attacks in israel and hamas, releasing an ominous message about some of the hostages still in gaza. also, the state of voting rights in america on this martin luther king day where laws are getting more restrictive. six decades after dr. . king dedelivered hihis famous i h ha drdream speechch.

you see is that sort of conflating of a religious identity with a political identity and you begin to assign a sort of messianic salvation capability to someone like donald trump or just to anybody in the political arena for that matter and i think that we can look at donald trump all we want as a -- as a driver of this and he certainly looms large in the imagination at this point, but i think that we have to get back to basics. we as christians have to get back to basics and try to examine what is being taught or i think more often what is not being taught inside of our churches to avoid this sort of idolatry. >> there was a time where starting from trump's election in 2016 onward where we understood this relationship between evangelicals and donald trump to be somewhat transactional. he had promised that he would put conservative judges on the supreme court and on courts
