There are many possible points of disagreement within Christianity because, like it or not, the Bible is unclear and even contradicts itself on many subjects (and this is a Christian saying this). But prosperity theology is so clearly the opposite of everything in the Bible that any self-respecting evangelical should ostracize it. That they don’t is the proof that the gospel is not what many evangelicals are interested in.
What she cites the bible for
Though she clarified that donations wouldn’t actually go to help those infected, White used medical imagery to add urgency to her fundraising plea during a pandemic. “Every single day we are a hospital to the sick, not necessarily the physically sick,” she said. “But we are a hospital for those who are soul sick, those who are spiritually sick.” White went on to suggest that contributors offer a $91 donation, citing Psalm 91, or “maybe $9 or whatever God tells you to do.”
What I cite the bible for
Matthew 21:12-13 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’
I’m a Satanist, but I fuck with based Jesus.
I know most would go back in time and kill Hitler but I’d slap the ever living shit out of John Calvin.
Calvin was totally opposed to this kind of theology. I presume you’re referencing to Weber; but if you read The Protestant Ethic closely, he didn’t speak about mainstream Calvinism of his time, but German puritanism, which was opposed by mainstream Calvinism.
I remember watching a skit where someone time travels like 50-100 years into the future to see if all the problems get solved, war, climate change, etc. the guy assures everything fine and reveals the solution. The rapture came and took all of the religious people away. Everyone left was easily able to work together to solve all the issues.
Lol that’s great.
Thanks for that.
She sounds overqualified for the position.
What? I searched for it and it’s not a joke? There’s an actual Faith office in the USA? That’s something you would expect in Iran, not the USA
We talking Iran, the secular democracy prior to 1953? Or Iran, the US backed military dictatorship that lasted until 1979? Or Iran, the Revolutionary Socialist Government that imploded in the run up to the US instigated Iran-Iraq War?
Oh oh oh. I gotcha. We’re talking about the modern theocratically controlled
Kingdom of Sauduh…Hinduvista Federal government of Indiaum…Revanchist Anti-Communist Christian Cult of the Park/Yoon governmenter…Apartheid State of Israeloh, here it is, Ayatollah’s Iran.Damn, can’t believe America would end up like Evil Foreign Country, instead of a model liberal secular government we traditionally support.
trump established a White House Faith Office on Friday, February 7, 2025.
she’s the first one.
no one knows exactly what she plans to do…or even what she could or might do.
It’s like having a witch doctor rolling crow skulls and determining what to do next
She did that for trumps last administration too I believe, without the dept name maybe. But this definitely isnt the first time I’ve heard her name in relation to Trump
Welcome to 2025.
It’s a new thing believe it or not.
It’s legit.
God forbid women have hobbies 🙄
How deep in denial of being trailer trash do you have to be to wear gold pearls?
She is, not ironically, perfect for the job.
Has there always been a White House faith office?
Always- no.
Since G.W. Bush? Yes.
Obama and Biden kept it going, Biden actually restored it after Trump 45 left it to languish.
Who is she?
Edit: never mind: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_White
Edit 2: she is a prosperity theologian? Tbf, I am no christian, but i really doubt this is what Jesus wanted.
Yeah no shit… Jesus would be fashioning a whip to drive these fuckers out of his temple.
If he were real.
Supply Side Jesus would disagree.
Condescending Joel Osteen Noises
Joel is just mad that he didn’t think of this first
St. Peter will deny her worthless greedy ass at the gate.
It’s what republican Jesus wants
married a member of the rock band Journey
Is that why she didn’t stop believing? (I’m guessing she never started, but…)
Grifters gotta grift.
Who is this?
Indeed, the USA is turning into the WASP version of 1979 Iran.
Christo-fascist enthno-state
It’s cause you gotta take it on faith that she’s qualified to be within 1000 feet of the Whitehouse.
Hopefully rapture comes and removes her from this planet for being Anti-Christ.
