This is a very interesting op ed...(contunued)

Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, told a talk radio audience that Trump was a better presidential candidate than someone who "embodies the teaching of Jesus" because Trump fit the biblical preference for a "strongman" in government.

Frank Amedia, an Ohio pastor who briefly had ties to the Trump campaign, explicitly cast the president as a prophet receiving divine revelations: "I believe he receives downloads that now he's beginning to understand come from God," he said in July.

The authority that a cult leader exercises comes from his self-ascribed role as the one true information source for his followers. Competing ideas and facts are not just wrong; they are demonic.

Trump, of course, characterizes most media outlets as "fake news." He calls journalists "liars" and "sick people" who are "trying to take away our history and our heritage." In a May HuffPo/YouGov poll, a whopping 60% of Trump supporters agreed with him that the media are "the enemy" of people like them.

1. A biblical "strongman" like Pontius Pilate?

Pontius Pilate, the fifth prefect of the Roman province of Judaea under Emperor Tiberius, known today for the trial and crucifixion of Jesus? That kind of "strongman?"

If it kills, stinks, corrupts, or fulfills their insane prayers for 'Armageddon' in the near future, cultist like Robert Jeffress worship it. Sad. So sad.

2. A true godly person does not support a godless man

3. One positive thing about the Trump Presidency.

Is that a lot of socalled religious leaders are being exposed for what they are. That exposure is not going to wear well for them and their followers.
