“Effort To Impeach Trump Is Effort To Impeach Christian Values”?

/

Well. According to Robert Jeffress, Mega Church Pastor, and close supporter of Donald Trump, the effort to impeach Trump is a direct effort to impeach “christian values”.

Watching this, I cant help but think of that quote “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

But, is he telling people that impeaching Trump is against Christianity, or is support of a republican president already seen to be so very linked with Christianity, that he is now simply reinforcing a lie?

How the heck do you even “impeach Christian values” anyway?

When Paula White Appears on The Jim Bakker Show…

/

What happens when you get Paula White (Spiritual Advisor to Donald Trump), appearing on The Jim Bakker Show? (The Jim Bakker Show being home to all sorts of comments…)

Well, it gets insinuated that Christians must back Trump in 2020 or else the Bible will be banned as hate speech… also the freedom of America is apparently at stake. What does that even mean anyway?

Don’t forget to get her DVD bundle folks…

Want A Pair of Jesus Shoes?

It seems they contain Holy water, have a Bible verse printed on the side, and has a red dot on the tongue of the trainer to represent the blood of Jesus.

According to The Independent, they sold out within minutes of going on sale… BUT… Do you have a spare £3000? Click here to get hold of them!

And then send me a review or something??

Trump and The “Mandate of Heaven”

/

Well, here’s a quick something.

Pat Robertson, him of classic comments such as “Opposition To Trump Is ‘Satanic’” and that Bragging about groping women is ‘macho’… has come out almost… against Donald Trump.

Almost.

I’m not sure how biblical the phrase “Mandate of Heaven” is, but I’m happy to be schooled about it. But either way, it feels like a coded way of saying “If Donald Trump does this, Christians shouldn’t be happy with him”.

Whilst I’m not sure if he ever had “the mandate of heaven”, its good to see Pat Robertson taking what feels like more critical view of Donald Trump.

Robert Jeffress on Climate Change

/

Right-wing pastor Robert Jeffress has been asked his thoughts on climate change, and climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Jeffress commented,  “This Greta Thunberg, the 16 year-old, she was warning today about the mass extinction of humanity. Somebody needs to read poor Greta Genesis chapter 9 and tell her the next time she worries about global warming, just look at a rainbow; that’s God’s promise that the polar ice caps aren’t going to melt and flood the world again.”

This kinda reminds me of a Doctor Who episode, where a guy kept saying there were no Daleks anymore. A rhetoric he kept repeating even when he faced the Daleks. That didn’t end well for him.

If we are to keep saying that Climate change isn’t a problem, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

Jim Bakker, and Climate Change

/

Here, good people of the internet, here we have the reason why the Church should care loudly about climate change.

This is the reason why I guess we should discuss good stewardship of our planet.

I cant pretend to be good at it. (Mrs Sofa would have words if I pretended otherwise).

But we need to be better.

The Church needs to be better, and louder about climate change.

Because this sort of voice needs to be drowned out.
