Pastor Rick Joyner says that God will destroy anyone who gets in the way of Donald Trump

Somehow, despite his vulgarity, disrespect towards women, bragging about sexual assault, and nearly everything else about him, most conservative Christians still support Donald Trump and believe God sent him to “save America,” and that God will protect the president.

That’s exactly what far-right pastor Rick Joyner said in a video he posted on Facebook last Thursday.

He dismissed recent news that Robert Mueller had issued grand jury subpoenas for Trump’s financial records. And he had a warning: God will take out anyone who tries to take down President Trump.

God's going to transform our news media; Trump isn’t going anywhere,” he said. “Watch everybody fall who goes after him. Watch it.”

“It’s because he has a divine purpose,” Joyner added. “God put him there, and only God is going to be able to take him out. You watch what happens to everyone else who tries. Watch what happens to our Congress, watch what happens to Republicans who are obstructionist and devious in their methods too - who claim to be one thing and turn out to be the opposite. Watch what God does in these days.”

The Orange County, CA, based pastor - who purchased part of the disgraced Jim Bakker's former Heritage USA theme park in 2004 - added that “for the most part, everybody’s having the time of their life” in the Trump Administration.

It becomes clear that only Republicans can get God's blessing.

Doesn't take a genius to see through that bullshit.

I note that Joyner doesn't get too specific about that. Is Trump's divine purpose to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, and provide relief to the sick and the imprisoned? You know, like Jesus said in Matthew 25? Is it to exalt the humble and humble the exalted, like Jesus said in Luke 14? Will he run his government and the country in a manner that ensures that those who have much do not have too much, and that those who have little do not have too little? Paul in his epistle to the Two Corinthians, although I'm sure as a pastor you're very familiar with that verse in Chapter 8.

What exactly are you talking about Mr. Joyner, if not that?

They are just grifters looking to enrich themselves off the backs off the vulnerable and gullible members of their 'flocks.' They are all about self-gratification and the amassing of wealth and power. Christ would not know them.

And tRump kind of resembles a golden calf, doesn't he? Well, the Hebrews had to consume the golden calf as punishment. Hopefully, these xtian assholes will have to eat their words very, very soon.

and only God is going to be able to take him out


Which means that anything bad that happens to Trump is god's will - according to Joyner's statement.

LMAO

But he will song a different tune once something bad happens to Trump.

Then it will be everyone's fault but his god's.

Typical.
