Evangelical Pastor on Trump's Bible. 3:18 in length. Thoughts?

I had to look up “the 70” - below

Seventy disciples

The seventy disciples known in the Eastern Christian traditions as the seventy apostles were early emissaries of Jesus mentioned in the Gospel of Luke.

But my Google search of that name doesn’t look to be the same person.

I hope more of them have the courage to speak out like this. Maybe they can get through to the pinheads in a way we can't.

As a Iapsed Catholic I consider what Trump and his followers preach as blasphemous. Jesus is even reported to have warned the faithful through the gospels that there would be false preachers who would come in his name, but were not from or for him. That they only sought their own glorification. I have always believed that of all the televangelists, and the supposed Religious Right Wing, and now their evil orange one.

5. Why do these people think they have to yell all the time? Speak to me in a quiet tone and I might listen.

if he started speaking quietly and slowly. It would have been less scary if he yelled.

But while I'm renting space on this earth I think God wants me to do some good along the way. Democracy is a start.
While I agree that these bibles are disgusting, he doesn't get to the heart of it. He implies any involvement in politics means you aren't religious. I see a completely Godless man using a bible to make money to finance his crimes not only against the state but also against any Christian morals. He doesn't think that worth mentioning.

... but that (this segment, anyhow) was one of the best sermons I've ever heard. He really drove his point home to that congregation. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in some of those homes at Sunday Lunch, when folks discussed it!
