Trump Enrages Christians By Naming ‘Heretic’ Pastor to Admin

Trump’s preacher of choice goes too far for some evangelicals.

Summary

Donald Trump angered Christian MAGA supporters by appointing televangelist Paula White-Cain to lead his newly established White House Faith Office.

White-Cain, a proponent of prosperity theology, is viewed by many evangelicals as a “heretic” who exploits faith for profit. Prosperity theology believes that God rewards the truly faithful with material wealth and personal success.

Conservative Christians condemned the move, calling it Trump’s “worst decision,” citing her controversial teachings and personal scandals.

White-Cain, a longtime Trump ally, previously advised his administration and led prayers contesting the 2020 election results.

    “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

      No, no… Look, the “eye of the needle” was just some narrow wall in the city of Jerusalem. If you tried hard enough, you could squeeze a fully-laden camel through. So, see: Jesus was saying that it was still possible to be filthy rich and get into heaven. Just have to squeeze your way in. No need to learn an uncomfortable lesson here.
