Florida congressional hopeful "He wears the armor of God"

And I'm sure this is not limited to Florida.

“My whole family was flabbergasted,” said Benjamin Horbowy, 37.

The Horbowys had gathered in Tallahassee, Florida, to watch live as Trump walked from the White House to St John’s. “My mother just shouted out, ‘God give him strength! He’s doing a Jericho walk!’”

A Jericho walk, in some evangelical circles, refers to the biblical book of Joshua, where God commanded the Israelites to walk seven times around the opposing city of Jericho, whose walls then came crashing down.

Horbowy already supported Trump politically – he heads the local chapter of a pro- Trump motorcycle club and is campaigning for a seat in Florida’s state senate – but when Trump lifted the Bible, Horbowy and his family felt overcome spiritually.

These people would have probably felt spiritually overcome if he’d dropped trou and taken a dump in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue.

I grew up in SoBapt churches. I watch JimBakker now and then

Evangelicals are convinced they are in a holy war leading up to the rapture

When you read, listen to Evangelicals you become convinced they think anything they might do to 'help God win' is justified

They list what we consider as steps to a more just society as steps in the demonic takeover of the US

A yr or so ago there was a major conference, position paper attended by and signed by many Evangelical leaders stating that the principles and goals of the 'social justice' movement are contrary to god's will and the message of the bible

What will we see next? Potions, seers?

People like Donald Trump, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot and Jim Jones are proof that there is no just and loving god.

On Twitter, he says: I am a Polish-American Catholic gentleman who loves God. I will always stand up for what is right! I am the son of one of the first Polish Deacons in history.
But he also runs a "for profit church" on the side.....(Total violation of the Catholic Church)
