He descended from a golden escalator to bestow his decrees of deceit and fear unto a willingly gullible flock of followers. He assembled a congregation of media cardinals to preach his vulgarian gospel. And sadly, he&#8217;s had some success at twisting weak minds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68772\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday Trump was, as usual, cavorting with his wealthy pals at a golf tournament being held at his own course in Miami. But his ministers were at their pulpits on Fox News delivering their sermons. For instance, maga-church pastor Robert Jeffress was interviewed on Fox News Live about Trump&#8217;s dust up with the Pope over his <em>&#8220;little excursion&#8221;<\/em> to Iran (video below)&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s commendable that the Trump administration is meeting with the Pope and trying to work with the Pope. The Pope is a good man. He&#8217;s sincere in his faith, but he is sincerely wrong when it comes to Iran. The Pope ought to know, and I think he does know, God created both the church and government for two distinct purposes. The role of the church is to point people to faith in Jesus Christ, but the role of government is to protect citizens from evildoers, according to Romans 13.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First of all, Jeffress needs to refresh himself on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Romans%2013&#038;version=KJV\" target=\"_blank\">the text of Romans 13<\/a><\/strong>. It doesn&#8217;t say that the role of government is to <em>&#8220;protect citizens from evildoers.&#8221;<\/em> It says that people must submit to the authorities because they are ordained by god. Although Republicans reject that scriptural law if the authorities happen to be Democrats. What&#8217;s more, in America the authorities are ordained by the people through elections. But Republicans ignore that constitutional law if it means relinquishing power.<\/p>\n<p>More to the point, Jeffress offers his praise for Trump for sending Marco Rubio to the Vatican to clean up the mess Trump made by lying that the Pope wants Iran to have nuclear weapons. Also, there is no evidence that Trump is <em>&#8220;trying to work with the Pope,&#8221;<\/em> who advocates for peace, while Trump is a recidivist war monger. Jeffress continued&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;And look, 3 days after this conflict began, I was in the Oval Office with president Trump and a few other faith leaders, and he told us that Iran was within weeks of getting a powerful weapon that would destroy Israel, much of the Middle East, and could bring great harm to America. And he had no choice but to act. And I thanked him then for having the courage to fulfill his god-given responsibility to protect our nation. And you know the great irony is that it looks like president Trump has a better understanding of what the bible teaches about the role of government than the Pope has.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jeffress eagerly believed Trump when he told him that <em>&#8220;Iran was within weeks of getting a powerful weapon.&#8221;<\/em> Of course, Trump was lying. Trump&#8217;s war against Iran was entirely his choice. And it has gone straight downhill from there, as Iran has maintained their control of the region. The result has been a severe blow the world economy and the economic welfare of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>However, perhaps the most preposterous comment Jeffress made in this interview was that <em>&#8220;Trump has a better understanding of what the bible teaches about the role of government than the Pope has.&#8221;<\/em> In order to believe that you would have to accept that the bible teaches that it is righteous to commit war crimes, cheat on multiple wives, engage in pedophilia, grift billions through felony fraud, persecute immigrants, and deny food and healthcare to the needy. You know, all the things that Trump does.<\/p>\n<p>Something tells me that the Pope is better role model and representative of biblical teachings than the sociopath currently occupying the White House.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mliilhzmi22c\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiax3o5vc4evuyv5h5ga5zpji5wag7n4f6e4vjfst3q6e2makofvni\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Trump-fluffer Robert Jeffries is a phony Fox News &#34;pastor&#34; who believes that the bible teaches&#8230;?
