I remember watching a skit where someone time travels like 50-100 years into the future to see if all the problems get solved, war, climate change, etc. the guy assures everything fine and reveals the solution. The rapture came and took all of the religious people away. Everyone left was easily able to work together to solve all the issues.
Lol that’s great.
What? I searched for it and it’s not a joke? There’s an actual Faith office in the USA? That’s something you would expect in Iran, not the USA
It’s legit.
I follow a guy (Matt Taylor) who studies a branch of Christianity called the New Apostolic Reformation, a branch that’s like if Evangelical theology, prosperity gospel, and morals merged with traditional charismatics. Lots of prophecies. These are also the Seven Mountains Mandate people–the people who believe they should be in charge of the 7 pillars of culture, like media and education. He posted a a zoomed out version of the above picture, labeling everyone he recognizes from NAR. The NAR has been courting Trump since his first term. Trump is delivering for them.
It’s a new thing believe it or not.
trump established a White House Faith Office on Friday, February 7, 2025.
she’s the first one.
no one knows exactly what she plans to do…or even what she could or might do.
We talking Iran, the secular democracy prior to 1953? Or Iran, the US backed military dictatorship that lasted until 1979? Or Iran, the Revolutionary Socialist Government that imploded in the run up to the US instigated Iran-Iraq War?
Oh oh oh. I gotcha. We’re talking about the modern theocratically controlled
Kingdom of Sauduh…Hinduvista Federal government of Indiaum…Revanchist Anti-Communist Christian Cult of the Park/Yoon governmenter…Apartheid State of Israeloh, here it is, Ayatollah’s Iran.Damn, can’t believe America would end up like Evil Foreign Country, instead of a model liberal secular government we traditionally support.
This ladies name is Paula White since it doesn’t say anywhere in the post.
Paula White-Cain to be more specific and get the biblical irony all the way up.
I mean yeah, that’s all pretty consistent with how most pastors behave.
At this point Americas are nothing but a Ponzi scheme coated in red white and blue, with a penchant for insider trading and conflicts of interest for oligarchs that can legally steal anything they want with no legal repercussions.
There are many possible points of disagreement within Christianity because, like it or not, the Bible is unclear and even contradicts itself on many subjects (and this is a Christian saying this). But prosperity theology is so clearly the opposite of everything in the Bible that any self-respecting evangelical should ostracize it. That they don’t is the proof that the gospel is not what many evangelicals are interested in.
To reinforce this, Jesus didn’t just say it was hard for a rich person to get into heaven, he said “And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich [person] to enter into the kingdom of God.” --Matthew 19:23-26
Personally, I think this is specifically referring to the level of greed that it requires to hoard enough wealth to become (and stay) a billionaire while the world suffers. It’s important to understand that this is our Bible, the foundation of everything Christianity is supposed to be about. These freaks have twisted it so much, it’s unrecognizable…
fun fact, the “eye of the needle” isn’t referring to a needle. they’re small gaps in the big stone walls just big enough for a person to squeeze through but intentionally designed so that a camel cannot get in. he’s not even saying it’s metaphorically impossible he’s saying it’s literally impossible, and by design.
This is a cope made up by wealthy Christians from what I understand. Source?
how is that a cope? doesn’t it make the comment more scathing? and idfk entirely possible someone made that up, just Google it, I got pictures and shit when I checked briefly before posting
No issues with you comment, but I find it disheartening that leadership in churches around the country do not condemn what is happening
That’s how far we’ve come. I know many here are vehemently opposed to any faith-based belief system, and that’s 100% your right. But churches and religious leadership promoting Trump and hate are shitting on everything God said in the one book he gave us. Modern Christians should read the Bible and find a church that follows it. If possible. Not the other way around…
I try to tell Christians to just read the words of Jesus if they don’t have time to read their whole book. Some bibles have them helpfully marked with red ink.
You might enjoy reading some of the works of Bart Ehrman. I’m an atheist who has been reading a lot about Jesus and the early church (first three centuries). I would recommend, How Jesus Became God.
Anyway, good for you for recognizing prosperity bs for what it is.
It’s literally a sin in many sects, not to say those sects aren’t entirely hypocritical on the matter, but trading priestly duties for money is explicitly a sin in a lot of Abrahamic religions.
Ehrman is great, as are his books and his podcast (which is called “Misquoting Jesus”). He’s one of the most objective mainstream New Testament scholars (in the field of textual criticism), and he doesn’t try to advance any agenda. He states clearly whether his points are the consensus of non-evangelical scholars, or whether he’s in the minority (which is rarely); whether other scholars disagree with him (and why); what the evangelical scholars say, etc. He doesn’t encourage either atheism or religion; he’s simply a textual criticism scholar.
I like Ehrman. I think Jesus had, before the Resurrection, no clear idea of who/what he was and that what Ehrman shows is how the early church not invented but discovered the divinity of Jesus.
I’m convinced that he believed he was the Messiah. I don’t think he considered himself divine. I think that was invented later.
Religion is a scam. The biggest religion is the biggest scam. Don’t believe in this nonsense.
Trump: “So you’re saying I have a chance?!”
Indeed, the USA is turning into the WASP version of 1979 Iran.
Christo-fascist enthno-state
With those qualifications, she’s a match made in heaven for Mrs Trump #4
Who is she?
Edit: never mind: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_White
Edit 2: she is a prosperity theologian? Tbf, I am no christian, but i really doubt this is what Jesus wanted.
Yeah no shit… Jesus would be fashioning a whip to drive these fuckers out of his temple.
If he were real.
Has there always been a White House faith office?
No, totally unconstitutional.
Does anyone know the correct procedure to challenge it? It’s only illegal if the laws are enforced.
What’s laws, precious?
You know, laws? Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew?
Yep, that’s p much what they’re doing with’m They’re not nearly as delicious tho
What is a Faith Officer?
If you have to ask, you can’t afford it?
100s of 1000s of $$
This is cursed and looks like “hundreds or thousands of dollars” at a glance. Just say “100,000s of dollars” or “$200,000+”.
I think “100,000s of dollars” is cursed too. If you want to use that phrasing, just spell out “hundreds of thousands”.
Why is she dressed like a harlot?
