URL: Evangelical Preacher Goes Berserk On ‘Disgusting’ Trump Bible
|
Evangelical Pastor Loran Livingston went viral with a stunning rant in which he absolutely demolished former President Donald Trump’s “disgusting” $60 MAGA Bible. In March, Trump stunned the heavens and the Earth — and at least two of the Corinthians — with a video announcing the sale of a Trump-endorsed Bible bundled with founding documents and a lyrics sheet for the MAGA anthem he uses to introduce his rallies, Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” The move was widely mocked by the media, by liberals, and by President Joe Biden. But the MAGA Bible also didn’t sit well with Livingston, who absolutely torched the product in his sermons at the Central Church of North Carolina in Charlotte. In a fire-and-brimstone rant that went viral on TikTok and Twitter/X, Livingston called the Trump Bible “disgusting” and a “cheap ploy,” among other things: When you don’t read and pray. You, you say, “Wow, there’s a Bible out now that includes the Constitution and the Bill of rights! Isn’t that wonderful?”. No, no. It’s disgusting! It’s blasphemous! It’s a ploy! Are you kidding me? Some of you are so encouraged by that. Let me tell you something. The gospel is not an American gospel! It is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ! “But, pastor, I bought the Bible!”. Really? You’re telling me? That you’re encouraged because someone took a government US Constitution, a document. That says. We are of the people, by the people and for the people, the people, the people, the people! And you have put it right beside the Word of God, which is eternal, unchanging, which says of him, by him, through him, to him, from him are all things. And you’re going to put those together and be happy about it? God forbid! Now you can get mad if you want to, but I’m going to tell you something. If you glory in that kind of thing, you don’t have a prayer life. If you glory in that kind of mess. Political mess. You do not know what the Word of God says. |

...I wonder what has started more wars on this planet, the US Constitution or many passages from the Christian and Jewish Bibles? It's fast becoming my experience that many things "God" said a couple thousand years ago don't work very well "now"... ...if they ever did. A Christ centered life is probably a better place to look for solutions to today's issues. |

it's not what "god" said, it's how men interpreted it... ...perhaps "God" should learn how to communicate more effectively then. It's not exactly rocket science ryan. |

| Pretty remarkable how some leaders will go to any lengths to get their perverse agenda across. |
