Christian pastor: Satan infiltrated the 'courts of Heaven' to block Trump's reelection

For years, the pro-Trump evangelical cult has been telling their followers that Donald Trump was sent by God, that he has a divine mandate, and that his reelection would be nothing less than the will of God. But with Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election and the growing realization that the effort to overturn his victory is getting a hard dose of reality, some the Trump cult are having to rationalize and come up with new explanations for their prophecies.

Speaking on The Jim Bakker Show this Monday, Pastor Robert Henderson, who once suggested that his prayers were responsible for the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, tried to do a little damage control in light of the fact that Biden is destined to be sworn into office.

When asked by host Jim Bakker what he thought about Trumpworld’s recent string of defeats in the Supreme Court, Henderson said they “took the easy way out,” so now the matter is entirely up to the “courts of heaven.”

Bakker then asked if Satan is “coming against the United States in the courts of Heaven right now.”

Henderson said yes, and added that while he thinks God clearly has the power to do whatever he wants, it’s up to Christians to give him a boost now and then, and a lack of enthusiastic Trump-supporting Christians could be responsible for Trump’s fledgling effort to overturn the election.

I thought angels were coming to prevent just this sort of thing. They were supposed to strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and...

Wait, maybe they misunderstood and they went on strike. (Don't blame 'em)

Seriously, as an agnostic ex-evangelical, isn’t this one of the original heresies? Giving satan the power to overcome god? I think it’s all fiction but used to take it seriously.

On edit. After listening to it again it’s even worse than I thought. The dude is saying god gets his power from us coming together with him. And without humans agreeing with god his power is lessened.

I grew up Southern Baptist. He would have been run from any an church back in the 70’s. I may longer believe but I remember my theology. He suggested god is not all powerful unless we give him the power.

Which as an agnostic is actually true!

Good thing dude did not live during the inquisition. He would have burned. The heresy is dripping from him. As it is from all evangelicals.

He plays the evangelical thing by the book, then God sends Trump as his emissary, a man who is not only a sinner, but a non-repentant one. The poor bastard stuck in line at the pearly gates behind Trump will be in limbo for eons as Trump goes "fake news" to St. Peter as the charges are read. "I want an appeal! I also want to appeal the loss of my appeal"
