The left: Evangelicals see Trump as a messiah and attacking Iran as biblical
Posted on 1/6/20 at 7:21 am
Posted on 1/6/20 at 7:21 am
this is what insane sounds like
quote:
The evangelicals I'm talking to see the escalation of Iran as fulfillment of End Days prophecy, cementing their perception of Trump as a faulty messiah used by God. Many are bragging openly about their foresight in prepping, others are purchasing more weapons.
quote:
Seems as good a time as any to remind everyone of what I call the Cult of the Shining City, which is white identity Christianity that blends segregationism, prosperity gospel, and nationalistic occultism that originated as a response to the Civil Rights Movement.
quote:
As Civil Rights leaders used Christianity as a means to push for equality, white evangelicals responded by changing the gospel to focusing on wealth and power. Trump is part of this tradition and the Cult of the Shining City sees him as an embodiment of their teachings.
quote:
In the 1980s, with the rise of Reaganism and burgeoning millennial angst, the Cult of the Shining City was obsessed with apocalyptic conspiracy theories that focused on minorities, Satan, and the New World Order. They call it the Deep State now.
quote:
New World Order/Deep State conspiracy theories are all anti-Semitic and white supremacist based. It's about other groups coming together to take power from the white race. Trump, because of his adherence to the prosperity gospel and white supremacy, is a natural leader for them.
quote:
Whether Trump is aware of the Cult of the Shining City or not, it seems like many actions have been taken to establish himself as a faulty messiah, including the Israeli embassy. This Iran move is tinged in it, and the members see it as a step toward a final, apocalyptic showdown
quote:
Something to think about: Cult of the Shining City members look for coincidences and timing to show meaning. They see the impeachment and the Iran escalation as inextricably linked. It's Good vs. Evil, God vs. Satan. Trump, here, is the proxy.
quote:
It's something to remember that they're not looking for peace. The Cult of the Shining City is constantly awaiting war on a scale we've never seen. World ending destruction. They're pushing for this to not only turn to war but to destroy literally everything. That's the energy
quote:
The unfortunate truth is that the Cult of the Shining City is just another side of the same coin as death cults like ISIS. We have people on both sides looking for the exact same war, fighting over who Jesus will fight for. The rest of us, unfortunately, are stuck in the middle.

Looks about like you’d expect.

This didn't happen & no "evangelical" has said that Trump is the messiah. Is Trump being used by God? I do believe this part.

Or maybe, we have no problem with the droning of an evil bastard that's responsible for the maiming of a thousand US soldiers and the killing of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis, Syrians, and Kurds.
It really could be that simple but perhaps I'm over thinking it.

Liar. Are we supposed to believe he is actively seeking out evangelicals, and they are specifically telling him that Iran is the fulfillment of the End Days prophecy, that Trump is a messiah used by God, and they are bragging to him about purchasing more weapons?
I don't believe he's talked to a single one.

If its the true end of days these won't matter.

Strange. Reverend Ike, Creflo Dollar, Frederick K.C. Price, none of them look Caucasian to me.

He really doesn't read his Bible much, does he?

This guy would probably be surprised to find out that African American churches often focus on prosperity at a proportion that matches or exceeds white churches.

Well, that certainly seems like an adequate sample group to make such a broad statement

“the Cult of the Shining City” is a fiction entirely of Jared’s own making, by the way. It’s not an actual cult.

Looks like the professor of creative writing is creative writing.

I don’t know anyone that believes the drivel he wrote.

This guy has never even set foot in a church. As an Evangelical I can safely say we don't see Trump as a 'faulty messiah.'
He should take his IPA drinking, open mouth smiling self and STFU.

For years evangelicals were shite on for not voting for non religious candidates
They finally do
Get shite on even more

I think he posts here, because I've seen that dribble.

Sounds to me if this conflict with Iran turns into war it will be on two fronts, one of them within our borders. I figured as much and I hope people who are loyal to our republic are taking the threat they pose seriously and are prepared.

Or we see it as the dude we elected retaliating with proper force against the Iranian pole smoker who is responsible for the deaths of many Americans.
This was done as a response to Iranian backed militia personnel storming the US embassy in Iraq. This is not a difficult concept.
