A self-proclaimed Christian prophet is circulating an unfounded conspiracy theory that he believes is proof that Donald Trump is still President of the United States.
Megachurch pastor Johnny Enlow recently shared a Facebook post with his followers as he explained why he has reason to believe former President Donald Trump is still president. Enlow claims to have had a "vision" of Trump holding "a golden scepter" which he believes is proof that Trump is still in office. Enlow claims that in his vision, he could see Trump "seated on a throne holding a golden scepter... [with] a golden crown on his head." He said the vision was Trump's "PRESENT status from heaven's perspective."
"Heaven does not recognize [Joe Biden] having any scepter nor wearing any crown. From heaven's perspective, there is only the legitimacy of [Trump]. God has assigned a massive contingency of angels to that scepter and to that crown."
Despite Enlow's claims, Trump lost the presidential election by more than 7 million votes. On Jan. 6, the Electoral College affirmed President Joe Biden's election victory.

It's no wonder they all pay a lot for their wierd sexual proclivities. No normal person would touch them with a ten foot pole.

BIG money.
And too many Americans are just gullible enough to eat this crap up with a spoon while they make the call and pledge their money.

And, how they all fall for it is beyond me. many of them even after giving money, their lives are not any better. They dont see it. But, ABORTION and BLACK PEOPLE! Taxing these idiots would help a lot.

(11,949 posts)Fundamental religion is poisonous. Christian, Islam, Hindu. Does not matter. Once they think god is on their side their side there are no limits.
But I have friends who are liberal Christians. A great friend of 40 years whose kids are my godkids. Best man Ive ever known. We grew up together in a evangelical church. I went freethinker. He found a liberal church. Both of us moved from a conservative southern state to more liberal areas.
And our most reliable vote group, African American women are very religious.
Democrats abandon all Christians at our peril.

(15,624 posts)It wasn't just the white Evangelicals, either - he got the votes of 58% of Protestants, 52% of Catholics, and if you count Mormons as Christians, he got 61% of them. I'm pretty sure he got the majority of the Christians' votes in 2020 as well.

The pastor misinterpreted his dream.
