This guy is definitely in the Epstein files… probably a supplier…
Megachurch pastor? Don’t do him dirty like that. He likely also a diddler as well.
Yeah American evangelicals don’t think any Catholics understand the Bible.
That’s because they follow the Capitalist Bible
Partly, but also because they’re chauvinistic about their religion and think Catholics aren’t Christian. Even at their best they practice sola scriptura and disagree with Catholics on interpretation, therefore they assume Catholics don’t actually understand the bible. Meanwhile Catholics look at them confused as to how anyone can read that thing, reject all context snd traditional interpretation, and come away believing every word is literally true and that they have an unerring understanding of it, much less without the graduate degree in the topic priests need.

Well there’s your problem. These guys know as much about the Bible as Trump.
They also know as much about grifting.
Once you put “mega” in there, is there such a thing as a legitimate “pastor/priest”?

Nothing farther from faith than such people
Supply-side Jesus worshipper.
As I suspected, conservative Christians in the US are not real Christians, but rather “money for faith” type people. Their supreme authority is money. Nothing to do with christianity or Jesus or faith.
Trust me, a lot of these conservative Christians absolutely do believe in Jesus and absolutely do believe in God. And to be honest, I wish that people wouldn’t try to call them something other than Christians. Because they are Christians. We don’t need to preserve the sanctity of that term for only good moral upstanding people. It’s just not fair or reasonable to say that only these really excellent people are real Christians and everyone else isn’t really a Christian. All that does is reinforce the term as something that conveys goodness and morality. If 95% of the people out there who are calling themselves Christians and who go to Christian churches and who read Christian Bibles act in a certain way, then sorry, that’s what Christians are, that’s what Christianity is.
I think it’s that this type of Christian believes so wholeheartedly in Jesus’ forgiveness that they assume it means they can do anything they like and claim repentance afterwards
Or, to put it more simply: Christians overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
Not all of them, definitely, but a huge percentage did.
That’s what they are.
I’ve been saying for a while that they really ought to be called something other than Christians. Maybe “crooks” is a bit too much on the nose, but some new name is definitely required.
Camels.
For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to gain entrance into heaven…
They worship wealth, they claim to follow these teachings and to know them well, and they expect to enter heaven? Then they are camels, lining up for the eyes of needles and expecting easy passage.
EDIT: Wait, wait.
Scamels.
Is that brown lipstick he’s wearing?
That’s just from the shit he’s talking
Or the saggy orange arse he’s been kissing.
No it’s the same shade that every one of these “Christian leaders” is wearing these days. It comes from them trying to lick Trump’s asshole.
“Bible” is such a weird way to spell Epstein files.
He must not be familiar with the seminary school curriculum.

Bigly!
A Christian pastor who shills and grifts? I don’t think that’s ever been done before. /s
All pastors are like this just most don’t know it yet.
I suppose that’s why he held it upside down after his fascist photo op in front of that church?
Perhaps Trump has a better understanding of American Christians than the Pope does.
“christians”
Most of the Christians I’ve met are that type of Christian, so I don’t buy the “no true Christian” thing. They own this. Christian = MAGA, at least in this country.
That bible experts cannot agree on what the bible means, and which of its doctrine is important, makes for a strong argument that it is a historical document, neither inspired, nor univocal, nor inerrant.
If it were divine, then its meaning would be clear beyond debate.
In other words, it’s just a bunch of mythology invented by dudes in the bronze age, and nothing more.
it’s just a bunch of mythology invented by dudes in the bronze age
Yeah, this is why in a way Catholicism and Orthodox makes more sense where you have an ultimate authority chosen by god to update Christianity. Has its own issues though like the time when the pope issued purgatory skip papers for money to fund pet projects.

Also known as “The Sheepherder’s Guide to the Galaxy”.
Hey now let’s be fair here, most of it is iron age. Up until the Assyrians it’s probably describing mythology and legend that takes place from roughly the stone age, chalcolithic, and bronze age.
Well. If you attempt to read it upside down it just invokes Satan and the Antichrist… /s.
no he doesnt. he listens to his sick-minded “preacher” who also misinterprets the scriptures he cherry picks
