Cabinet officials attend Bible lessons with right-wing pastor who compares Trump to biblical heroes

Nearly all Cabinet officials attend Bible lessons with right-wing pastor who compares Trump to biblical heroes



Christian Broadcast News has suggested President Donald Trump’s cabinet is the most evangelical cabinet in history even more than born again Christian George W. Bush.

“These are godly individuals that God has risen to a position of prominence in our culture,” said Capitol Ministries president and founder Ralph Drollinger. According to CBN, the majority of the cabinet officials attend a frequent Bible study class, that is the first of its kind in at least 100 years.

He has long maintained that changing the hearts of lawmakers to see a Christian worldview could guide them to making good policies. While he doesn’t lobby on behalf of peace or advocate policies that would fit a Jesus-like agenda, he has started a Bible study group in 40 state capitols as well as foreign capitols. He teaches weekly Bible study classes for the U.S. House and Senate and now leads a group of nearly all of Trump’s cabinet officials.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Education Secretary Betsy Devos, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and CIA Director Mike Pompeo are all regular attendees.

The most notable, however, is Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

He founded "Capitol Ministries" in Sacramento some time back and was meeting with evangelicals in the State Senate and Assembly. There was some funny business going on and he started making proclamations that even the governing council in the church he founded, thought were too outlandish so they booted him. He laid low and ended up moving to DC and low and behold he's back like a biblical plague. Sessions, DeVos, Price, ex governor Good Hair, and many others are taking their religious guidance from this crackpot.

god help us (said tongue in cheek)!!

1 Corinthians 15 For I am the least of the Apostle, that am not meet to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.


So when Trump comes out and says he is the the least of the Presidents that he is not meet to be called a President,because he did not win the popular vote. Maybe then I might begin to see where he is like Paul.

Apostle Paul uplifted Jesus Christ all the time, and I've never even heard Trump mention his name yet right wingers seem to think Trump is some kind of super Christian.
