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

Last month Trump vowed to defend Christianity and urged Christians to vote for him

“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.

… so the evangelicals love trump because he represents everything they are?

CritFail,

At his next rally, I imagine he’ll waddle onstage to Jesus, He Knows Me.

phoenixz,

They’re trying to jail him!

… That’s because he’s a criminal, love.

madcaesar,

You know when religious apologist say “Why would so many believe it back in the day if it was fake???”

Tell them it’s 2023, we have the internet, video, photos and morons still believe the shit Trump says…

Per their beliefs…kind of, right?

God also gave them Biden

Speaker Mike Johnson said God appointed Biden as president

AnalogyAddict,

People thinking Trump is a Christian symbol is the biggest con ever.

Kaput,

Anti-christ is a Christian symbol, It even fits in the end of time they’re jerking off to.

He’s literally the antithesis of everything children are taught in Sunday school. Greedy, cheats on his wife, a bully, not humble, etc.

irreticent,

Also a racist rapist.

a persecuted Trump has God’s protection.

Nothing they need to do about it then. Their God wouldn’t be so weak that 90 some court cases and a lack of funds could stop their Chosen One right?

Not my God. I’m an atheist.

22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name…23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Matt 7:22…, 23 NIV

Buffaloaf,
