Trump pastor: Christians who don't support this president are like Nazi enablers during WWII

The godlessness that this so-called paster speaks of is the #TrumpCorruption and #GOPCorruption






Trump pastor: Christians who don’t support this president are like Nazi enablers during WWII

...................................

The Dallas Observer reported that Pastor Robert Jeffress, a member of Trump’s evangelical advisory board, trashed “moronic” and “spineless” never-Trump Christians in an interview with conservative radio personality Todd Starnes.


His criticisms stemmed from those evangelicals’ lack of support for the president who he believes will end abortion.

“This is an issue of life and death,” Jeffress said. “This is so black and white, so much about good versus evil. I don’t get it.”

“We cannot afford to be like German Christians who, in the rise of the evil reign of Adolf Hitler, just remained neutered. They remained silent. And you saw what happened there,” the pastor added. “I think there’s a similar wave of godlessness that is rising in our country right now and we must push back against that tide.”

Supporting Trump IS LIKE supporting the Nazis. For they are those who Trump called "Good people".

It's what Trump does, and it's what the Christian Talibangelists do. They complain endlessly about being 'suppressed' because people fight back when they try to force their distorted view of Christianity on others.

Many Christians supported Hitler, too. That worked out well.

Jeffress is a mainstream Southern Baptist pastor. The Southern Baptists, you might recall, are the largest Protestant denomination in the United States, by far. He's been preaching successfully within that denomination for decades.

The majority of Christians voted for Trump in 2016, so Jeffress isn't exactly going against the grain here. He's rich because he has lots of followers who like what he says, and so they give him money.

there is something about all the followers of the anti-christ wearing the "mark of the beast" on their foreheads, if I'm remembering right.

Kind of like wearing a MAGA hat.

I always thought it would be kind of preposterous for people to be so led by an evil doer. But I can picture it now. These so-called men of faith are being sucked into the thrall of this guy and they presume ably don't see the evil in him. Or else they are just as evil and don't care.

Seem to be going out of their way to fulfill the biblical prophecy of the end times, just not in the way they imagine. The Bible is pretty clear that many "believers" will be deceived by and become advocates for an "AntiChrist". Trump was a means to an end for these evangelical types in the hopes of pursuing their dominionist agenda and Trump readily uses them to shore up his own support. These fools don't realize they're exposing themselves to be the frauds that they are.

tRump has a Pastor sure he does. Do you ever see him going to church unless the golf course is his church. What total BS.

Read this passage from an interview with David Cay Johnston with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now.


DAVID CAY JOHNSTON: I did not appreciate, until I worked on the book, that while Donald holds himself out as a devout Christian—”No one reads the Bible more than me”—while he has all these pastors embracing him as a good Christian man, Donald aggressively, thoroughly and at great length, in many forums, denounces Christianity. His personal motto is “always get revenge,” whereas the message of Jesus Christ was “turn the other cheek.” And these ministers, some of whom I’ve written to and haven’t—they haven’t responded at all—continue to embrace him. And I find it very troubling. Donald has beguiled them with flattery. If they continue, now that my book is out, if they know about it, to do this, they are then deceiving their flocks, and that’s evil. But Donald himself doesn’t care about these things. He will tell you any lie. He can’t quote a single line from the Bible. Not one. And yet he says, “No one reads the Bible more than Donald Trump.” If you ask him, “Well, what do you like in the Bible?” “Oh, there’s so many. There’s so many. I just—there are so many, I can’t choose.”

Trump supporters, they are the scum of the earth.
