'He wears the armor of God': evangelicals hail Trump's church photo op | US news | The Guardian

The president’s appeal to his base amid protests was derided by some Christians. Others saw a victory in a world of evil

Donald Trump holds a Bible outside St John’s Church across Lafayette Park from the White House on Monday.

No one accuses Donald Trump of subtlety. When the US president raised a Bible overhead on Monday evening outside St John’s Episcopal church in Washington DC, the sign was unmistakable: an appeal to his evangelical base for loyalty, as protests and riots roared across America.

Not every Christian answered the call. The Rev Gini Gerbasi, an Episcopal priest, said police used teargas to drive her and others from St John’s before Trump’s appearance. “They turned holy ground into a battleground,” she told Religion News Service.

But many of Trump’s evangelical supporters, far from Washingtons political stage, saw the move as a victory in a world rife with evil.

What a phony, sucking up to his Bible-thumping base after tear-gassing his way to the photo-op.
 
They like Trump for his supreme court justice nominees and Trump's stance on Israel.

They loathe the man.

Bs. They're scum hiding behind Christianity. You need to accept that Christianity includes scum just like every other group.

His hair has positively reached ceramic level. It looks like the lid to a soup tureen with the handle broken off.
Also the walk to the church was telling with Trump looking lurched forward as if he were wearing high stilettos. Close enough, he is wearing lifts, probably 3-4 inch ones. Only this insecure jaskass would wear lifts at this height. A phony in every way.

Several passages jumped-out at me:

“My mother started crying. She comes from Pentecostal background, and she started speaking in tongues. I haven’t heard her speak in tongues in years,” he said. “I thought, look at my president! He’s establishing the Lord’s kingdom in the world.”

People once concerned with piety, Fea said, now crave “an exercise in pure political power”, and the Bible is no longer a spiritual weapon but an earthly one.

This smells of theocracy. And that's a very scary thought.

Yeah, and his language about how to deal with protesters is the language of a rapist: "You need to dominate them". He moved on that street like a bitch.
 
Franklin Graham's statement on the issue, that the leaders of the church should be thanking the President instead of criticizing him is super stupid.

Maybe if the President had given them a heads up that wasn't rubber bullets and tear gas, they would have been more receptive to him.

Exactly. Some of those protesters fired-upon were the clergy from that very church! :doh

It also like the "end times" and Trump is the anti-christ. It's a good thing they are all fairy tales.

A female priest?

Well, that tells u a lot right there

Did Jesus choose any female Apostles? Not even his mother, conceived w/o original sin was chosen as one of the 12

Not surprising she would reject anything too traditionally Christian
 
Christ save me from Christians.
