‘Lecherous and worthless': Megachurch pastor from Trump’s own evangelical council denounces him

[47of74]

Source: Washington Post

A member of Donald Trump’s evangelical council wrote a sharply worded email calling the Republican presidential candidate’s lewd comments made in a 2005 video “misogynistic trash that reveals a man to be lecherous and worthless,” saying he is no longer willing to offer more of his time without a “change of heart and direction.”

On Monday, Ed Stetzer, executive director of Wheaton College’s Billy Graham Center for Evangelism, published an email on his Christianity Today blog from a Chicago-area megachurch pastor who is on Trump’s council. (Stetzer does not serve on the council.)

James MacDonald, pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel, a nondenominational evangelical church in Rolling Meadows, Ill., wrote the email to several members of Trump’s faith council, his campaign liaison and to some who oppose Trump’s candidacy.

“Mr. Trump’s comments released yesterday — though 10 years ago (he was 60) — are not just sophomoric or locker room banter. They are truly the kind of misogynistic trash that reveals a man to be lecherous and worthless — not the guy who gets politely ignored, but the guy who gets a punch in the head from worthy men who hear him talk that way about women.”

1. And that was only a glimpse into the sh** that floats through Trump's mind, the despicable

leader of the deplorables.

About time the evangelicals stood up for decency.

4. Honestly

These preachers sound like it's the Salem Witch Trials

I still don't understand how the CEO playboy life was a good fit
for Evangelical and Fundamentalist Christians

When pointed out to them, it was, what? No problem, no worries,
Hitlery is the Devil, Benghazi, Whitewater, Toil and Trouble!!!
Trump is a good family man.

He's on Trophy Wife #3, imported like the people he's trying to expel.
What? No problem, no worries. They are Moooozlims, we are Christian,
and they are the Devil.

Too bad the chickens came home to roost.

Did they lay any eggs?

14. I think the point is that such "banter" among men when women are not present should repulse men

12. For whatever reason it is an excellent statement, over and above the call of duty.

[hatrack]

13. And if Trump were up 10 in national polls, would he be saying this?

Yeah, I didn't think so either . . .

23. Yeah he's only mad because he sees their domionist future slipping away from them.

They were this close to running the constitution through the shredder and installing a theocracy and now thanks to Agent Orange their chance may be gone. Hopefully forever.
