Group of Evangelical pastors and self-appointed leaders hold "emergency prayer meeting" before debate.

These people are now in complete and total apostasy. They are worshippers of money and power, and want their share of it under Trump and will be an oligarchy if he gets elected.

A group of Evangelical pastors and self-proclaimed leaders indicted themselves in abandoning the Christian faith last Thursday in their "emergency prayer meeting" on Trump's behalf before the debate.

As a Christian, I am absolutely sickened by this group's continuous slide into apostasy, because they choose to support a man whose lifestyle and whose very words are an open denial of the Christian gospel, and of Jesus Christ himself. They've allowed an antichrist to intrude into their churches, an evil personage who has set himself up to receive loyalty that Christians once gave to Jesus, because, as the scripture says, "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." [2 Corinthians 11:14]

"For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." [Matthew 24:24 NIV]

They have chosen to endorse a secular political candidate, and that endorsement means they are also picking up and carrying along the baggage that goes with it. These evangelical leaders are supporting a man who has just been convicted on 34 felony counts of dishonesty and fraud in business, related to attempts to cover up the fact that he was sleeping with a porn star while his pregnant wife was preparing to give birth to their son.

They gathered for an "emergency prayer meeting for Trump," who proceeded to debate with some of the biggest whopping lies he repeats all the time, bearing false witness against his neighbor, if I may use that phrase from the Ten Commandments to make the point. They must, in their attempts to justify supporting him, also own the fact that he has repeatedly denied his own need for repentance and forgiveness, which the apostle John defines as "antichrist," and which the Bible that these men claim is inerrant and infallible says constitutes blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

all the while asking for your money with a promise of eternal life seems pretty nuts. But it has and continues to be a very lucrative enterprise. Just count the number of in your local area.

as seen by the number of "megachurch" ministers with private planes, etc. Megachurches are great at getting a rolling energetic spirit within the four walls of the church, but it dissipate the moment these people cross the threshold of their sacred doors. How sad... too many of them are counting on the words of fallible men to guarantee glory in a heaven of their on making. They turn against the very words of their prophet, and instead choose willingly and passionately to follow the words and lies of the false prophets. I don't know if there's anything that awaits us after death... I find it hard to believe that energy is just kaput and doesn't go on in one form or another, but that's just me. But if that's true, there's gonna be an awakening among these infidels for their willingness to follow anyone who spouts the hatred that's in their hearts.
