Donald Trump's God Whisperer
« on: July 11, 2016, 07:44:17 pm »


Donald Trump’s God whisperer

The woman who led the candidate to Christ has many of the same problems connecting with evangelicals as he has.

By KATIE GLUECK 07/11/16 05:08 AM EDT


There were the IRS investigation and the business troubles, the divorces and the rumored affairs splashed across the tabloids. And always, there were the biased media that lay in wait, desperate to seize on any hint of internal dysfunction or family drama.

Donald Trump’s spiritual adviser paced the stage in black stilettos, railing against the unfairness of it all.


It was a spring evening in 2011, and pastor Paula White — the woman credited with leading Trump on a faith journey to Jesus Christ — was speaking at a pastors conference about her own experiences. But at times throughout her two-hour sermon, she could easily have been talking about Trump’s.

For the evangelical leaders she now aims to convert to the GOP nominee’s team, that’s exactly the problem.

Like Trump, who for years was best known as a TV star and real estate mogul, White, a televangelist, is new to GOP evangelical activism. She has more experience leading Bible study with the New York Yankees or meeting the Obamas through Oprah Winfrey than hosting pro-life gatherings in Iowa.

And Trump and White share personal track records — divorce, bankruptcy, embracing views outside of the Republican and evangelical mainstreams — that raise hackles among the influential Christian leaders Trump needs on his team as he seeks to consolidate the Republican base.

Who would have guessed that Trump's spiritual adviser was blonde and had a nice rack?

In traditional Christian circles, Paula White (and those like Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, etc) who preach the 'name it and claim it prosperity gospel' are considered heretical at best.

http://www.independentconservative.com/2008/05/26/paula-white-still-a-heretic/

The 'name it and claim it' preachers are to the right what "The Secret" is to the left. It basically treats the Bible like a magic spell book and if you say the right things, you can manifest wealth or whatever you want.

@Gov Bean Counter

Aren't you in Alabama?

@Wingnut

Aren't you in Florida, by way of Texas?

I am a Texan.

The reason I say ask is, that in Hell, we would all be acclimated to the climate already.

It's been a hoot, and I've been laughing and smiling. Likewise, should you all find your way to the Houston area, let me know.

I had to read that twice. I though you said "Washington State wins!"
I thought "Damn, I never even saw the score!"
Guess I'd better hit the hay.
