Of course Trump supporters would make it the congregations fault. Trump decided it would make for good optics by just popping into a church.
Perhaps you should ask yourself why a man who has never shown any religious convictions before suddenly decides prayers are important.
The one true god can never be criticized by his followers.
Why did the pastor make the apology. Apology for what?
Iām sure the pastor will apologize for Godās will being done through our president. You know, because thatās what we pray for.
Because he felt strongarmed into making the prayer? Perhaps you should ask him that. I dont know his thought process.
The defence of Trump at al costs continues.
Do you pray?
So you donāt know his thought process, but purport to know mine?
Thatās exactly right. If a pastor prays for a drug addict or an alcoholic, is he endorsing either one?
The worst among us need our prayers the most.
That article doesnāt get it.
It doesnāt matter why.
Doing his job.
Youāre right. By apologizing, the shepherd has lead the flock astray.
Ya know, each pastor usually has their sermons and the service already laid out. A lot of times, its a theme or pattern.
When the President makes an unannounced visit, and wants the pastor to pray for him, it throws everything off. Iām sure all the pastor wanted to to is lead over service, not stop everything to pander to some over-grown child.
Now, if Trump showed up, sat in the back of the church, and just listened to the service. Then afterwords, came up to the pastor and thanked him and then asked to pray for him, it would not have been so terrible.
But everything is about Trump. And you Trump supporters pissed and moaned about Obama being a narcissist. Ha.
Iād be of the same opinion had this been Obama. Had this been any other Joe coming off the street, prayers would be poured over him. Status is a figment of our imaginations in the eyes of God. The grumblers here are the same that would gnash teeth at the thought of extending the service 10 minutes because someone was getting saved at the alter call, causing them to arrive at Dennyās during the height of the lunch crowd.
EVERYTHING doesnāt have to be about your calls to defeat him.
Really?
I know your thought process, and I have no clue who you are.
Do you want me to tell you what we are all accurately thinking about it?
If any other Joe off the street had called ahead to the nearest Christian church in the nearest town and said, "Hey, get ready, Joe off the street is coming, and heās expecting you and your congregation to say a prayer about him, everyone wouldāve hung around to āhang prayers all over him?ā
Have you ever been to church?
Oh, I see that youāre a moderator. Never mind. Youāre right.
Irony.
Twice a week. As a teenager, five times a week to keep one of our priest friends company for his 7 a.m. mass which no one but us ever attended. On occasion, heād serve us wine as kids at 7 a.m. Weād look at him, heād nod, and weād drink. We helped vacuum the church afterward.
You donāt know me and never will.
Save your reflex replies for somebody else who operates on your level.
was he really wearing golf shoes?
