“Trump's new faith office. What to know about controversial Florida pastor Paula White”


Paula White, Ms. “send me $1000$ and I’ll see to it God send you a “Special Angel’ to bring you wealth, attack your enemies, and keep sickness away”.

Trump ecclesiastical con person counterpart.

Wow, I knew you MAGA folk are gullible but you aren’t not going to not see through this, are you?
She's prosperity gospel, which is a type of preacher that The Bible warned people to stay away from.
 
For 1K Paula promises you wellness and RFK has something to say about that!
 

“Trump's new faith office. What to know about controversial Florida pastor Paula White”​

Simple - Paula White is a blatant heretic, a promoter of the false gospel, the prosperity gospel.

Setting her up as head of a supposed "faith office" is flat out wrong on so many levels. I certainly vehemently oppose both - her and the very concept of a "faith office."
False god's for fake christians, what's the problem?
 
I wonder why so many folks make fun of the folks on the right? Buy and angel, good one. Do you people actually believe in anything that's real?

What "you people" are you talking to? There's not a single person in this thread defending this move. Not one. Good grief; stifle the hate just once.

Trump hatred is a good thing and need not be "stifled". My childhood hatred of Nazis - real ones - was equally entirely appropriate.
 
Yeah. I am not a Christian (my grandmother was Baptist Pastor), but what this woman is doing sounds like...witchcraft.

This woman is advertising that if you pay her money, she will curse your enemies (with an angel, Iguess). Literally the most anti Christ-like behavior of all. Why forgive your mortal enemies to free your soul, when you can sic a demon on them instead for a thousand bucks? Like, I don't know, some kind of witch, or a stereotypical gypsy sorceress, or a pagan priestess of Hecate in ancient Greece.
She sounds deranged, actually,

sounds like main stream religion - its why I don't go to organized religion churches anymore

Jimmy Swaggert, John Hagee, all of 'em are scammers IMO
 
What happens if I give $1,000 and my enemy gives $2,000?
Bad things will happen to your enemies but worse things will happen to you?
or conversly you will be 1000$ poorer but you ene,y will be 2000$ poorer
 
She's prosperity gospel, which is a type of preacher that The Bible warned people to stay away from.
Which is why she fits in perfectly with Trump and why Trump would be attracted to her (not like in a romantic sense). She's a con, like he is. She preys on people to steal her money, a lot of these televangelists are in that boat, but the prosperity gospel folk appear to be the worst of the worst. And who would Trump love more than the worst sorts of con artists?

It also highlights the fact that Trump doesn't actually give a **** about religion. A lot of evangelicals and the like grabbed onto Trump because Trump uses religion as a political prop, and they think he's going to promote their religion or that he's on their side. But this move demonstrates that for Trump, religion is just for show. Many religious people would be skeptical at best about a "faith office" from the government, and many don't like these prosperity gospel con artists. It's not for them. So for Trump, religion is a game to him, and he'll be happy to let you keep promoting your god and using you, so long as you or your god never tell him "no".

You gotta be careful with commies, they're gonna try to sell you on a lot of shit before they cement their power. But once they've established, they'll turn on you faster than Trump can bankrupt a casino.
 
It's the people who send her money that are deranged.
Some people really want to believe, and sending these preachers money is one way to reinforce that belief.

While most of these TV preachers are simple using their flocks to get rich, regardless of what they tell themselves (and others) they are doing, I think there are a few who really believe they have a direct pipeline to God. These few, like many cult leaders, mix charisma, borne of fervent belief in what they are espousing, with delusions of grandeur and god-like powers. White seems like one of them to me.

I hear ya.

What she is, is a criminal con artist taking advantage of those weak enough to be taken advantage of. She’s right in Trump’s wheel house. Different species but still birds of a similar feather.

To varying degrees. Doesn’t make legitimate people of faith con artists.

never questioned people with legitimate faith

its almost a universal true - dump a bunch of money into something and it'll get destroyed ........ schools, families, a business, the Govt, .....

religion is maybe the biggest one that the love of money destroys

Quite honestly, I'm not sure this is Constitutional.

Trump supporting religious idiots. Who else buys angels from republicans?
 
it's fitting that her last name is "White"
 
She'll get you your own angel for $1,000.

Sounds like some sort of trafficking ring.

Apparently you didn't actually read my post. Trump hatred in that individual's case led to making an absurd conclusion which was contrary to all the facts - in this case "folks on the right" who believe in this Paula White crap - none of whom have even participated in this thread.

You can hate Nazis, but when your hatred of Nazis leads to wholly unwarranted conclusions, it's time to stifle that hatred - or at least redirect it to things that actually warrant it.

Paula White is a heretic; a false teacher; someone wholly anathema to Christianity. That she was tapped to lead this supposed "Faith Office" is an abominable travesty on two counts: first, her aforementioned heretical beliefs. And second, the office itself, which is wholly anathema to our Constitution. I do NOT support it and I definitely do not support her. And the sooner that office is abolished and she's turned back onto the streets to cheat her gullible followers out of their hard earned money, the better (not for them of course, but at least for the country - cuz they're guilty of their gullibility).
