God, Aliens, and Other Stuff

The conservative Christian population was always going to be pro-Trump. His total support of the policies of Benjamin Netanyahu, his authority to appoint RW judges, and his pro-life statements made him their inevitable choice.  But the Trump prophets caused Christians to be afraid to question if Trump was God’s choice.   The pastors of conservative churches painted the Democrats as the enemies of God, so voting for any Democrat would be rebellion against the Almighty. Dem leaders are not people to them. Certainly not people of faith. Thanks to Fox News, the Christian Right Wing has no idea what they think, do, or stand for. I’m trying to give readers the theological vocabulary to change that. IF perchance a Democrat candidate or office holder has any faith at all and believe in the power of prayer, they should tell the conservatives and listen to their concerns. Let them know there are more ways to worship Christ than as a Tea Party anti-science Republican. In two former blogs dealin

It started with Kim Clement In a recent blog post, I talked about Kim Clement’s Feb, 2007 prophecy that Donald Trump “will be a trumpet,” Bill Gates would open the gates to the financial realm (for whom? not sure), and that Rudy Giuliani would once again “watch over this nation” [as he did on 9-11].  Clement then begins to describe the man who would be “in the highest office.” He is undoubtedly thinking of Trump; however, on the left, we would say he is describing Obama. That man will serve two terms and will not be religious at first, but God will baptize him in the Holy Spirit. He will be a praying president, and will have a strong testimony by the time he leaves office. In my letter, I gave some background about Trump that insiders and New Yorkers would know, but that readers of right leaning media would not catch. I suggested that these “prophets” missed so many negatives and just judged by what they saw in RW media. In my humble opinion, to be so partisan in the name of the Holy S

In 2007, a charismatic “prophet” named Kim Clement began prophesying about a wealthy playboy named Donald Trump. He knew of Trump, of course, because by 2003, Trump was already a star on the show Access Hollywood. He was a catch for an interview--attractive, rich, married to a series of gorgeous women. His latest was Melania in 2005. By 2006, she had delivered a son named Barron. There were articles depicting their gold-studded family life. Trump owned casinos and hotels and golf resorts, and he loved to opine about politics in telephone interviews with other celebrities. He was a fast talker in those days with a silky voice. Plenty of female interviewers swooned to get him on their shows. Since he bore no actual political responsibility, he could express himself freely with no negative consequences. In 2007, Trump looked on the surface like a giant personality striding across the globe with grace and confidence. This TV Trump is the image that influential Evangelical leaders fell in

There is no topic that arouses more emotion and conflict that abortion. I find that I am at conflict with myself over the issue.  Theologically I am prolife, and I’ll tell you why in a bit. But politically, I’m pro-choice . I’ll explain later.  Here’s why I, and every Christian I’ve ever known, am prolife.  Three stories reveal the child before conception First story: In the 70’s I had a friend named Mary. She was short, blonde, and cute in a unique gnomish way. There was only one Mary. No one else came close to looking like her. She married and had a daughter. One day they had a Pentecostal prayer meeting in their home. A man who had been an alcoholic, but had converted and been delivered, had a vision. Their daughter was an infant at the time. He saw a new baby, and saw the little girl riding a tricycle in the house. He said, “Mary, the baby looks just like you.” Mary and I were living in different locations at that time, so I never heard about that prediction. Well, in time, Mar
