'God gave us Trump': Christian media evangelicals preach a messianic message

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

NEW YORK (Reuters) - "This is really a battle between good and evil," evangelical TV preacher Hank Kunneman says of the slew of criminal charges facing Donald Trump. "There's something on President Trump that the enemy fears: It's called the anointing."

The Nebraska pastor, who was speaking on cable news show "FlashPoint" last summer, is among several voices in Christian media pressing a message of Biblical proportions: The 2024 presidential race is a fight for America's soul, and a persecuted Trump has God's protection.

"They're just trying to bankrupt him. They're trying to take everything he's got. They're trying to put him in prison," author, media personality and self-proclaimed prophet Lance Wallnau said in October on "The Jim Bakker Show", an hour-long daily broadcast that focuses on news and revelations about the end times that it says we are living in.

"The hand of God is on him and he cannot be stopped."

Morons. Dangerous, dangerous morons.

17. You're not alone on this.

Likely the first thought of many, many people who hear that line.

27. Do anything you want with us - even send Donald Trump - but please, God, don't send a swarm of locusts

Maybe we can pull a Br'er Rabbit reverse psychology on the Almighty and get off easy with the locusts.

8. God has a sick sense of humor.

Must be boring up there in heaven.

22. Indeed

9. Using that logic, God also gave us Hitler, Pol pot, Idi Amin, Joseph Stalin, and countless others.

If you're going to believe that God installs leaders, I'd have to say he's done an absolutely horrible job over the millennia.
For every great leader, there has also been at least 2 or 3 terrible ones.
I don't think God plays that game. We were given free will to choose what kind of people we want to lead us.
It's part of the process of learning what is truly valuable in life, and what isn't.
Trump? Well, he's shown himself to be a self-centered, callous, loveless, greedy tyrant.
It's evident he has no love in his heart, except for the love of himself, and all the wealth and power he can draw to himself.
People who worship him don't know God.

10. Like to see folk on the street Sunday mornings outside this (and other) church(es) with signs ...

Like to see folk on the street Sunday mornings outside this church(and others) with signs simply saying "This Church Teaches Blasphemy"

11. TSF is he Anti Christ.. why would your god do that?

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Wasn't one of the prophecies in Revelations that the AntiChrist would be

embraced as a Messiah?

[Cha]

31. Probably!

[Ping Tung]

14. God gave us Donald Trump, house flies, and techno-pop.

[republianmushroom]

15. He also gave us Hitler, Pol Pot, Putin, cancer, etc., the list is long for a benevolent god.

[hildegaard28]

16. If god

Chose Trump, why didn't Trump win the last presidential election? You would think that if their all-powerful god really favored their orange messiah he would have actually won. They are totally hearing the wrong message from their god.

18. God didn't even give Trump to Job.

Look, I want to test Job, but even I have limits.

[RainCaster]

19. God gave us bubonic plague, COVID and leprosy too

Can't say I want any of those.

[limbicnuminousity]

20. Civilization gave us laws.

The natural order gives us bodily autonomy. Morality tells us the right thing to do. Ethics tells us the right way to do things. Yet Trump violates all of these higher order values. So it follows that their sky demagogue leans towards the uncivilized, unnatural, immoral and unethical.

Sounds like they worship Nurgle.

[Initech]

21. If my church told me who to vote for...

I'd be looking for a new church tomorrow.

23. God gave them diarrhea, too

That doesn't mean they have to worship it.

[WiVoter]

24. Nah, Someone Else Did

The devil

[Cosmocat]

25. Yes, the human embodiment of the 7 deadly sins

Was anointed by God and POTUS who is a humble, decent, practicing Christian is the spawn of Satan.

America 2024.

[niyad]

28. Then god is a fucking psychopath.

[samnsara]

29. Their God also gave them the piles of dog poo

..they step in, the stomach flu, COVID, and their bad teeth

Cant cherry pick!

30. LIke all drugs, religion is squeezed for the brain rewards until it doesn't pay off anymore.

I believe the evangelicals added tfg for that very reason: Toe continue and improve the brain rewards their religion no longer delivers. But this, too will diminish, and then you see t hen using this extreme language. Its will also not pay off and as he's tarnished in the courts next month, and they empty his coffers, he'll mean even less. I also think it's the reason the GQP is melting before our eyes. It was never a serious attempt at governance: It was a drug.

When they're all sobering up, the anger will be intense. I think that explains the little success Nikki Haley had against him: The worm has turned.

[bluestarone]

32. My question. If God wants TFG, why wait?

God can do anything right? Hell, just put tfg there NOW? Why wait? IDIOTS, all of them!!
