Christianity Today, the evangelical rag that recently had a devout Roman Catholic as Editor-in-Chief for three years and never did or say anything about it, is back with a new predictably woke opinion piece opining that the building and construction of solar panels on churches is a ‘gospel issue.’
The article, written by Adam MacInnis, profiles “creation care” advocates like Bob Whitaker who want to see “clean energy projects at churches across the state, dramatically increasing the number of evangelical congregations committed to creation care in a very practical way.”
“This whole thing for me has been a bit of a conversion,” said Whitaker, who has pastored at Evangelical Community Church for 22 years. “I didn’t grow up thinking this way. I didn’t begin serving this church with this mentality…. Among evangelicals—churches, pastors, even theologians—we’ve focused on the salvation of the soul to the exclusion of other parts I now consider to be part of the Good News.
His change was gradual—an expansion of his understanding of how the gospel applies to everyday life and a growing sense that God’s people should treat the earth not as consumers but as caretakers. Now, he wants to take the next step.”
While there is no reason to read the article further after that point, it is a bit amazing to consider what they believe the ‘good news’ to be.
The article breathlessly exclaims that one church “reduced electricity use by 27% and natural gas use by more than 60%.” For another congregation, a third of the church members likewise reduced their “personal energy usage,” some up to 40%.
Kyle Meyaard-Schaap, spokesman for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action, proudly proffers that “More than 50,000 people have signed a petition that says, “As a pro-life Christian, I believe pollution harms the unborn, causing damage that lasts a lifetime.” He touts:
The pro-life petitioners are pushing for a repeal of House Bill 6, which sharply lowered the state’s renewable energy and energy efficiency standards while providing a financial bailout to two coal plants and two nuclear power plants.
Schapp writes that the failure to fight for creation care and the environment is a blight to the church, and that “it’s impossible to ignore the threat that climate change is imposing to life around the world. We want to be consistent to our values. We value life from the womb to the tomb.”
Speaking of threats to the life of Church, the planet, and the body, this whole article is filled with them.
Update #1 Well that didn’t take long. Valloton has deleted his video (but some kind soul saved it in part) He updated his Instagram page with this note:
“Many have people asked me why I took my apology video down. After doing a lot more research, I decided to wait until the official vote count is complete as it appears that there is a significant amount of discrepancy in the process. In the meantime, I will be praying and believing for the will of the Lord to be done. If the outcome remains the same, I will repost my apology video. If my prophetic word turns out to be right, I will do the chicken dance in my spandex. God’s speed- humility is still the way forward!
Please don’t be rude or argue on my social page. Life is too short and you won’t change anyone’s mind arguing on a comment box on a social page.”
A charismatic ne’er-do-well prophet has publicly apologized to Joe Biden and his followers for uttering a false prophecy about Trump’s election win, calling it a “major, major mistake” and taking “full responsibility for being wrong.”
Kris Vallotton, who was last seen being the spokesperson for Bethel Church in California after a surge of COVID cases at the School of Supernatural Ministry that they could not supernaturally heal or minister to shut down a county of nearly 200,000 people, took to Instagram to publicly repent of his false prophet, while still insisting he’s not a false prophet.
I really want to apologize, sincerely apologize for missing the prophecy about Donald Trump. I prophecied that Donald Trump would be president 4 days after he took the nomination the first time. 4 days after he declared himself a candidate the first time I should say…and that was obviously right. And then, later on, I prophecied that he would not be impeached, and the fact that he would win another term. And I was completely wrong. I take full responsibility for being wrong.
There is no excuse for it. I think it doesn’t make me a false prophet but it does actually create a credibility gap. A lot of people trust me, trust my ministry, and I want to say I’m very sorry for everyone who put their trust in me, and there was this major, major mistake.
And I want to say I’m sorry, and I want to look into the reasons why there was a disconnection there in what I heard. And I have always believed that when you make a public declaration, that if you get it wrong you have to make a public apology.
And I want to say that I’ve never had to do that before. I prophecied in 14 years working in the political realm, and I’ve never had to make an apology for a bad prophetic word I’ve given, this is the first time, and I’m going to learn from it. This was a big mistake, and I hope that you’ll forgive me and I hope that we can all learn from it.
While we’re pleased he has apologized for fake word from the Lord, as any prophecy he gives would be false regardless of whether he gets it right or not, what is interesting is that Vallaton has no need to acknowledge his failure quite yet, as just because the media has declared Biden to be President-Elect, doesn’t make it so. If Valloton was listening to the Lord, he would hear the voice “Not yet.”
Of course, we know what the standard for a prophet is: “100% track record, every time, all the time, or else he’s put to death.”
But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him. Deuteronomy 18:20-22
During a recent Believers Voice of Victory (BVOV) message, Arch-heretic Kenneth Copeland took a shot at the media who were claiming that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden won the presidency. While Copeland is not wrong that some shady business had gone down with the election results, and that it is certainly not the media who has the power to declare who the president is, the manifestation of Copeland’s objections are straight-up scary, along with the congregation who joined the fray.
The Media said what? Hahahaha. The media said Joe Biden’s President? (Insert 40 seconds of forced laughter/ maniacal machinations)
Kenneth Copeland was recently dropped from Trinity Network after nearly 40 years. Copeland is 83 years old and has a net worth of nearly $800,000,000.
Trinity Network is a hive of scum and villainy where discernment goes to die and sheep butchers merrily go out on daily flock-fleecing expeditions in the name of pursuing the accumulation of filthy lucre. Aptly and not unexpectedly, Steven Furtick at Elevation church is picking up the mantle and taking his place.
Jemar Tisby’s Witness Black Christian Collective (WitnessBCC) has made major structural changes to its organization, elevating several key members into new roles such as Tyler Burns to President and and promoting openly pro-choice advocate Ally Henny to Vice-President.
The Witness BCC was founded by Jemar Tisby in 2012, which at that point was called the Reformed African American Network or RAAN. Tisby, perhaps best known for writing the book The Color of Compromise (which unsurprisingly is compromised theologically) has left his position and will serve as founder of The Witness Incorporated, a 501c3 organization that is the parent company for The Witness Foundation (A newish venture that gives certain black folk $50,000 a year to train and raise them into leaders) and The Witness Black Christian Collective.
Despite the new structure, what has remained unchanged is the fact that this organization has no credibility to speak on the biblical, scriptural, and theological understanding and application of racism to the church. They have no clue what constitutes issues of mercy and justice are so long as they continue to platform and promote so many unbiblical, unscriptural, and untheological writers and contributors. Chief among them is Ally Henny, now the Veep.
Henny is a regular contributor to The Witness and writes about race, cultural identification, black motherhood, and topics related to the black experience from a faith-based perspective. She is also overtly and unabashedly pro-choice.
She recently tweeted about how black people should join the Episcopal (US Anglican) church. When pressed on why any Christian should do that, given the denomination’s stance on abortion and homosexuality (they are openly and enthusiastically in favor of both) she responded:
I believe that all people should be welcome to worship and serve in the church regardless of their identity….
I actually considered joining the “other” Anglican denomination here in the US, but I decided against it. My nephew came out as trans at the same time I was taking steps to enter into discernment. I realized that I could not be ordained somewhere he could not be his full self…
There are disagreements within the Anglican Communion on this issue. As a new Anglican, my hope is that we would err on the side of love and not pronounce anathemas against one another because we disagree.”
She’s not the only one working or associated with the Witness BCC who has dubious views on abortion, if not also flat out pro-choice. Michelle Higgins routinely tweets out support for Planned Parenthood, the apex predator of the baby-killing world, and Ekimini Uwan doesn’t want to abolish Roe v. Wade, but rather wants it to be the law of the land.
In the Witness BCC, refusing to swallow Critical Race Theory’s view on “anti-racism” will get you kicked out, but being for the killing of babies in the womb as a human right will get you promoted. So spare us Jemar Tisby when you go on podcasts and talk about mercy, and justice, and loving your neighbors, and hatred for the oppressed. Your people support baby-killing, dude. We’re not buying it for a second.
Southern Baptist Convention president J.D. Greear, in a talk uploaded to The Gospel Coalition’s Ron Burns (aka Thabiti Anyibwile) Youtube page in 2019, breaks down the events in the song of Deborah in Judges 5 where there is a brief mention of God cursing a people for not helping Israel defeat their enemies in battle, and doing so in the most foolish, asinine way possible.
It’s of note that this took place before the bulk of BLM protests rocked the world in the summer of 2020. Greear has increased in wokeness about 666% since then. Check out this nonsense, then with commentary afterwards.
“God curses spectators. As Deborah sings out the victories of God’s people she says coming to a crescendo in verse 23 “curse Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse its people bitterly because they did not come to help the Lord against the mighty.”
Cursed? It doesn’t say they did anything bad, does it? It doesn’t say this tribe hung back and smoked weed and raided everybody else’s [tents?] while they were out fighting, it just says they did nothing. Meroz represents those people of God who failed to act when it’s not their land that’s threatened. If you do the geography Meroz is like ‘it’s not affecting us. These enemies ain’t coming after us so we’re going to hang back.’
Now I want to turn more specifically to some of these issues of justice. Whether we’re talking about racial justice or gender justice or what have you. Tragically when it comes to many issues of justice there’s often been a malaise in the church. That’s usually the kindness word possible. In large part because the injustice did not directly affect those of us sitting in place of privilege. Like Meroz it didn’t affect our tribe. At least we didn’t think it affected our tribe. The church in the west in various generations has been slow, far too slow, to champion the dignity and equality of really anybody that’s outside of their circle.
We’d love to know what Greear has in mind when he talks about “Gender-justice.” According to the Global Fund for Women, they define gender-justice as “the systemic redistribution of power, opportunities, and access for people of all genders through the dismantling of harmful structures including patriarchy, homophobia, and transphobia. Similar to terms like racial justice and climate justice, it signifies an intersectional approach that centers the needs, experiences, and leadership of people most impacted by discrimination and oppression.” Something like that?
And some of us ask, we look back with genuine bewilderment, and we say ‘how could some of these great theologians, how could some of our ancestors have either gone along with slavery, some place even defending it, at the very least not really seeming to care about it very much. How could a large majority of conservative bible-believing Christians have just sat out on the sidelines during civil rights?’
And for the most part I think you’ve got to conclude they felt like it didn’t directly affect them, at least in the short run, so they didn’t think that much about it. [Like Dan they sat back in the [ships?] when they should have been out in the fight .
We have to be clear, the scripture says this not getting involved on behalf of others is a matter in God’s eyes of justice. Bearing the burden of our brothers and sisters in God’s kingdom, even when, especially when we think that what is happening doesn’t directly affects us is a matter of justice…
The word justice occurs over 200 times in the Old Testament, and almost always when you see it, or a lot of times when you see it, you’ll see four classes of people who are brought up, as in Deuteronomy 10:18. The widows, the orphans, the foreigner and the poor. What one scholars calls the quartet of the vulnerable. The just person according to the law is the one helping those 4 groups and any others that are marginalized.
The just person is not the one who is just paying their taxes. It’s not the one that’s just going along and not stealing from anybody. The just person in God’s eyes is the one who is taking up the cause of the one who is not him or her.
One scholar said it this way: ‘In the Old Testament, justice is not just putting down the oppressor, it is also helping to lift up the oppressed’. You see with the blessing of privilege, of whatever kind you want to call it, comes a responsibility to leverage that privilege for the less fortunate. I take a moment to point this out because we tend to put helping the needy or the oppressed under the heading of ‘charity’, and we say well if you don’t do that then you’re stingy. But God calls it injustice which is a much more serious thing…
This is where things really started to change for me, and where they continue to change for me as God has graciously put into my life and into our church brothers and sisters of color and it ceases to be a theoretical thing and it starts to be something I’m not reading about on CNN or Fox News. It starts to be a conversation I’m having across the dinner table and you start to realize ‘hey what’s this election look like from that perspective?’
What is that chapter of history, what does it feel like from that perspective? And what is the fact that I never talk about that aspect of that chapter of history, what does that feel like from that perspective? And what does that application process feel like from that perspective, and what is that crime, what does that police shooting, what does that feel like from that perspective?
JD Hall breaks down this fallacy:
Greear argues that “justice” means helping the poor. Of course, nowhere in Scripture – and I mean absolutely nowhere – is the issue of justice conflated with helping the impoverished escape poverty. Justice only demands that the impoverished have the same legal rights (not possessions) as others.
The word used in Judges 5:23 is שָׁפַט (pronounced ‘mish·pat‘) and refers to the handing down of a verdict in a court of law. The concept includes law-following and law-enforcing. Someone who is doing mish·pat is someone following God’s laws or a judge or jury punishing breakers of God’s law.
A survey of this word’s usage in the Hebrew Old Testament demonstrates this. The word, mish·pat, is used in conjunction with “judgment” and law-following in Genesis 18:19, Genesis 40:13, Exodus 21:1, and Leviticus 18:4 (just to name a few).
There are places where mish·pat and poverty or the poor are used together, like in Exodus 23:6, which declares that the poor shouldn’t be denied justice. This only strengthens the argument, however, because that passage, and others like it, are explicitly arguing that the poor should have the same right of legal recourse as anyone else. Neither this passage, nor any like it, argue that mish·pat has anything to do with giving things (possessions, food, clothing, etc…) to the poor. Mish·pat only refers to equal treatment under the law. Furthermore, let me add this strong rebuke here…
To argue the idea that “It is unjust, the OT says in almost 200 places, for those in positions of privilege not to leverage that privilege for those without it” is beyond asinine. It is beyond absurd.
First, this sentence from Greear is nothing but a pile of post-modern, Social Justice gibberish that has gone down the throat and has come back up a jumbled, gelatinous pile of regurgitated, nonsensical vomit. The use of the term “privilege” here (in the way Greear uses it) is absolutely foreign to the Old Testament.
This is a textbook definition of eisegesis. What Greear did was essentially 21st Century cultural appropriation shoved into the Sacred Writ. Not only is the language used by Greear utterly foreign to the Bible, the concept of privilege as a bad thing or as something that creates debt to others, is absent in the entirety of the Bible. What Greear said here was as eisegetical as any time Steven Furtick has read himself into the story of David.
“Leveraging your privilege” is not a thing, Biblically. I would encourage anyone to do a systematic theology on the intersectionality of justice and poverty, and you would find that the only admonitions toward the poor in the Old Testament in relation to “justice” is a demand they be treated the same as the wealthy. Nowhere does the Bible suggest it’s a matter of justice to redistribute wealth. By the way, verses like Leviticus 19:15 explicitly commanded Israel not to mistreat the rich in the name of helping the poor!
Justice – “Getting what one is due, what they deserve, or that to which they are entitled.”
Mercy – “Compassion toward one in a lesser estate, particularly done without obligation, but with empathy.”
How is it possible that someone of Greear’s ability to teach Scripture totally messes this up? Well, it’s necessary to butcher these distinctions in order to push the narrative that the church’s responsibility is “justice.” I further explained the problem:
The presumption of many of the thought-leaders on the side of evangelical Social Justice is that mercy is actually justice and that people are entitled to kindness. They presume this is the case because, as Marxists or collectivists, they have a hard time telling the difference between rights, entitlements, and charity. Sadly, this confusion has soteriological ramifications. If you do not know the difference between justice and mercy, you will have a hard time understanding the concepts of grace and gratitude.
This is your Southern Baptist President, people. Take a bow.
Pope Francis appointed 13 clergymen to the College of Cardinals, many of who will be able to vote in the upcoming Pala conclave, and at least two who hold pro-LGBT views. The move comes on the heels of the Pope coming out last week in full support of same-sex civil unions, further demonstrating there is some “ecclesiastical queering” going on.
With the appointment of these cardinals to this new seat of power, it means that Francis will have appointed nearly 60% of all electors, suggesting that the majority in power will have the same beliefs and vision for the Church that Francis holds, which is one that is more unbiblical and anti-Christal than ever before and is likely to continue the trend he has begun with the selection of the next pope in the years to come.
The most controversial of them all is naming United States Archbishop Gregory Wilton to the college. According to Complicit Clergy:
Gregory personally invited pro-gay Vatican adviser Fr. James Martin to give a speech titled “Showing Welcome and Respect in Our Parishes to LGBT Catholics” at both St. Thomas More Parish and at Atlanta’s Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Martin described Gregory as “thoughtful, progressive and open-minded,” and noted his LGBT outreach.
Gregory appointed a pro-gay priest to be diocesan spiritual director for victims of sexual abuse by clergy.
The other appointee that we know of who holds pro-LGBT views is the Secretary of the Synod of Bishops, Mario Grech, who said that he “feels wounded” when the church calls homosexuality sinful and called a full-page ad defending marriage as between one man and one woman, contra homosexuality, as nothing more than “propaganda.”
While these actions by Pope Francis seems to have shocked devout Roman Catholics, to those paying attending its par for the course from a Pontiff hell-bent on painting the Vatican every color of the rainbow.
A pastor has had a bucket of blood poured over his head after attending a ‘Let us Worship’ concert in Washington, DC at the National Mall, in a move that has caused Bethel Church’s worship leader and chief organizer Sean Feucht to claim the act was done by a satanist and highlighting a growing pushback from protesters bent out of shape over the traveling worship show.
The unknown assailant ran up to Pastor Charles Kuruku, who had been attending and participating in the event, and doused him with it before running off.
In the aftermath of his horrific action, Kuruku commented as he was cleaning blood off his hands and face:
I just got sprayed with blood right here in Washington DC. It’s a white guy. Look at what he did to me. He just like, ‘Pow!’ I didn’t even know what was going on, I just felt blood thrown on me.
Anyway, it is what it is, but the Lord is powerful. He is mightier than this. No weapon formed against us will prosper. Every tongue that rises in judgment will be condemned. I declare this demonic sacrifice is broken It’s not going to prevail in the name of Jesus. Keep us in prayer. We cannot be silenced by this type of violence and intimidation in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Kuruku is going to have the blood tested to ensure it is not contaminated and to determine what sort of blood it is. It is unclear at this moment who poured it on him.
We’ve been chronicling these outdoor worship concerns for months now, which have grown from a few hundred individuals to tens of thousands.
Not only are these times of worship where people can sing unmasked and in large groups with fellow believers, frustrated by government and church leadership that has kept the churches closed and restrained, but they are also an occasion where the dark arts of charismatic manifestations occur.
‘Let us Worship’ mixes ordinarily sound practices of baptisms, preaching, salvation, and prayer with speaking in tongues, people being slain in the spirit, uncontrollable weeping and shaking, and claims of hundreds of miracles and healings. Sadly, the presence of these practices and the normalization of Bethel Churchtaint that is on the face of it is a brave and courageous act of defiance by the collective body of Christ.
Feucht claims he was told by security over 35,000 people attended the event. Though that number may be exaggerated, what is not is the fact that millions of people watch the events online, which has enabled him to gain influence and visibility, fast becoming one of the most recognized worship leaders in the church today. He announced that he has a new book coming out tomorrow, which is so far doing well on pre-orders.
Musician and designer Kanye West appeared on the Joe Rogan Podcast on Friday, spending nearly three hours conversing with the famed interviewer about running for the presidency, design, record contracts, being bipolar, politics, abortion, family, Jesus, race, war, and everything else under the sun, frequently speaking in self-aggrandizing statements and sharing both good and bad theology.
The hotly anticipated conversation was everything listeners hoped it would be, with West talking nearly the whole time in a stream of consciousness. At times he made perfect sense and at others he struggled to explain his ideas and articulate them in the best possible and clearest way, resulting in a confusing mess. He describes his reasoning and the way he processes and shares information this way:
I think very three-dimensionally. I don’t think in the black-and-white lines that I’ve been programmed to think in. And I think in full color. So when I talk, I have to describe a thought in five ways. We enjoy food that has multiple seasonings in it. We enjoy music that has multiple instruments. So when I talk, it’s not a rant, it’s a symphony of ideas.
It’s in this spirit that we offer a few thoughts from West.
On making music for God
When I made Sunday Service, I completely stopped rapping, because I don’t know how to rap for God. All my raps always had nasty jokes. When I went to the hospital in 2016, I wrote, ‘Started church in Calabasas.’ As we left from 2018 going into 2019, I said; I’m not going to let one Sunday go by without starting this church. To start a ministry, I’m like the little drummer boy, where I’m saying, ‘This is all I got to bring, my drum.’ I might not be well versed in the Word, but I know how to make music and I know how to put this choir together. And all things can be made good for God. It quickly became the best choir of all time, because all the best singers moved to California…I was four months in before I gave my life to God. I wasn’t saved, I just had a calling, saying, ‘Just go make this church.’
God knocked me off my horse, literally called me and said, ‘Now I need you.’ Not that God needs me, but we need God. He called me to serve him. I was tired of serving the music industry, tired of serving filling up stadiums.
On expository preaching:
One of my pastors, pastor Adam, the way he preaches is called expository. It’s like one-to-one by the Word. I like all different kind of preachers but there are some type of preachers they get up, they have the bible in their hand, and they close the bible and they just talk for two hours.
And some do have anointing, but expository preachers go line for line, and for me it’s like I come from entertainment. I got so much sauce, I don’t need no sauce on the word. I need the word to be solid food that I can understand exactly what God was saying to me through the King James version, through this, you know, this translation or the English Standard Version.”
On Abortion:
People saw this clip of me crying. Some people didn’t know what I was crying about. I was crying about that there is a possible chance that Kim and I didn’t make the family that we have today. That’s my most family-friendly way to word that. The idea of it just tears me up inside, that I was a part of a culture that promotes this kind of thing.
One of the major statistics on the subject of life is that the greatest advocates for the A-word [abortion] are men from ages 31-37. That’s how old I was. I felt like I was too busy. My dad felt like he was too busy for me. We have a culture of that…In our culture, we’re doped up, and psyched out, and made to kill our children. We have to decouple the conversation of Planned Parenthood and women’s choice.
I’m Christian, so I’m pro-life. When I go into office, I’m not changing laws because I realize we live in an imperfect world and an imperfect society. What I will be presenting is a Plan A. We’ve already started working on a Plan A to change the connotation of orphanages, to change the connotation of foster care.
There were 210,000 deaths due to COVID in America. Everywhere you go, you see someone with a mask on. With A, the A word, A culture–I’ll say it one time, with abortion culture–there are 1,000 Black children aborted a day. Daily. We are in genocide. More Black children since February than people have died of COVID. And everyone wears a mask. So it’s a matter of where are we turning a blind eye to?
The whole interview is fascinating and be seen here or on Spotify. West talks further about Jesus and God speaking to him in a host of other contexts, all peppered throughout the interview, with some of it good and some of what he has to say very bad.
Hillsong Melbourne has announced that they have completed the purchase of the iconic Festival Hall for a cool $23,375,000, turning the famed concert venue into their new church home.
The controversial, prosperity-preaching state church, which is “pastored” by Tim & Nicola Douglass, has been looking for a new home for years. Having no permanent location, they’ve frequently have been nomadic, offering 10 services across 4 locations, usually in theaters and halls rented out for the day, having to do teardowns and set ups each week.
The purchase of the hall has not been without controversy. Initially opened in 1913, it has functioned as major cultural attraction for over 100 years, hosting concerts from Frank Sinatra and the Beatles, to Ed Sheeran and Lorde. It has also hosted the Olympic games and other sporting events. Put up for sale almost three years ago and requiring millions of dollars of investment to compete with newer venues, it had been generally assumed it would be flattened and converted into multi-level apartments, retail, and commercial development, until being declared a heritage site and thwarting those plans.
Along with the purchase of the hall comes large buildout costs, with the church likely to spend up to another $10-15 million on a major renovation, adding multiple stories for added functionality, including space for the nursery, children’s church, offices, coffee shops, and other ministries. The concert hall as it is holds seating for 5000 people, but that number will likely change. The church has also indicated that it may still be open to the public in some capacity, however. According to Pastor Tim:
“The cool thing about purchasing Festival Hall is it’s going to continue to be Festival Hall. It has served the people of this city in different events over the years and it’s going to continue to do that. We just get to be the church that purchases it and continues to serve, but also gets to see it be the house of God on Sundays.”
President Trump, who has for decades has identified himself as a Presbyterian, has repudiated his former denomination and now identifies as a “Non-Denominational Christian.”
In an exclusive interview with Religion News Service, Trump responded in a written statement to a question about whether or not he considered himself an evangelical Christian:
Though I was confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian.
Trump did not elaborate or give any indication of when this transition happened or what it means for him personally.
The President’s faith has been the subject of much speculation, but every indication is that he is a false convert and needs to be saved. Lest one think that President Trump previously identified with the conservative PCA, however, the PCUSA would be more in line with his thinking. He told CBN in 2012:
“I’m a Protestant; I’m a Presbyterian. And you know I’ve had a good relationship with the church over the years. I think religion is a wonderful thing. I think my religion is a wonderful religion.”
For years he attended Marble Collegiate Church, a once-Reformed, now fully inclusive, LGBT-supporting church in New York City that was home for half a century to Senior Minister Norman Vincent Peale, author of the best-selling heretical book The Power of Positive Thinking. Naturally, the Church has been a theological nightmare for decades and should not be viewed as a legitimate church.
According to RNS:
Asked whether he learned anything spiritually from his experience of contracting COVID-19, Trump responded that he and Melania ‘felt the prayers of Americans from all across the country — and even around the world’ when he was recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
I said, ‘There were miracles coming down from heaven.’ I meant it — Melania and I are very thankful to God for looking out for our family and returning us to good health.
