Trump Spiritual Advisor Wants You To Send Her Up To 1 Month's Pay Or Face 'Consequences'
Source: Yahoo News
Paula White, a prosperity gospel preacher with close ties to President Donald Trump, is calling on followers to send her donations of up to one months salary. Those who dont pay up could face consequences from God as he demands the dough as a first fruits offering.
The reason is God lays claim to all firsts, White wrote on her website. So when you keep for yourself something that belongs to God you are desecrating what is to be consecrated to God.
In this case, the firsts are money, which supernaturally unlocks amazing opportunity, blessing, favor and divine order for your life.
White, who is chairwoman of Trumps evangelical advisory committee, claims she contributes a months pay every year as a seed, which according to prosperity gospel is supposed to grow into riches and other blessings. Shes also calling on others to contribute their own firsts, in the form of wages for a day, week or entire month

Which is an interesting way of portraying Our Lord and Savior...Jesus the Hitman. Hoo boy.

In reference to a traffic jam he saw near Branson, Missouri, he said he saw "Oral Roberts on roller skates goin' from car to car, doin' his best!"

Desperate Trumpers will probably do it too. They'll believe this will help them get the good jobs and wage increases and whatever is supposed to trickle down to them from the fabulously wealthy job creators.

If even 50% of that money went to those in need, I would be happy. However, those in need to these people translates to I need another summer home and this years model sports car. Its highway robbery against the guillible.

Maybe God needs to take a course at some junior college.

(50,565 posts)Paula White contributes a month's pay every year to her so-called church. Then she gets her pigeons to contribute a month's pay to Paula White's so-called church in hopes that other people will send THEM a month's pay.
First, exactly how many churches can there be?
Second, this sounds like the Amway business model.
And third, how is this any different from what the moneychangers were doing in the Temple?

(8 posts)she "claims she contributes a months pay every year as a seed, which according to prosperity gospel is supposed to grow into riches."
From where I come from, this is called a pyramid scheme. Can just see the pyramid chart with a really white Jesus looking skyward up at the top.

(4,723 posts)Every time I hear one of these hucksters shaking people down for cash, I think of my own grandma, who used to send these people money all the time. She hardly had a cent to her name but sent money to them in hopes of God's favor. Makes me sick to this day knowing people like this woman live high on the hog on money from poor people who just want things to go their way sometimes.
