Trump's New "Faith Advisory Board" is Made Up Of Sell-Out Evangelicals

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/09/selling-out-for-power-trump-faith.html

Trump's chief advisor on faith is Paula White, who believes and preaches that God is obligated to honor words spoken in faith, enabling the "faith force" to make things happen by speaking them into occurring. They mainly focus on speaking "health and wealth" into existence. If you look into what White, and the "word of faith" movement believe and practice, it is easy to see why that's the brand of religion that appealed to Trump, instead of run of the mill, conservative Evangelicalism.

And in order to get inside the fence and play the game, Evangelical conservatives, who don't permit women to have leadership roles in the church, and who consider White's Word of Faith movement heretical, have to accept her leadership of his Faith Advisory Board" to get his support for their political agenda.

In other words, we can see what phonies they all are.
