‘God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un,’ evangelical adviser says
By Sarah Pulliam Bailey August 8 at 8:51 PM

Texas megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress, one of President Trump’s evangelical advisers who preached the morning of his inauguration, has released a statement saying the president has the moral authority to take out North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

“When it comes to how we should deal with evil doers, the Bible, in the book of Romans, is very clear: God has endowed rulers full power to use whatever means necessary — including war — to stop evil,” Jeffress said. “In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un.”

Jeffress said in a phone interview that he was prompted to make the statement after Trump said that if North Korea’s threats to the United States continue, Pyongyang will be “met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”

The biblical passage Romans 13 gives the government authority to deal with evildoers, Jeffress said. “That gives the government to the authority to do whatever, whether it’s assassination, capital punishment or evil punishment to quell the actions of evildoers like Kim Jong Un,” he said.

He said that many pacifist Christians will cite Romans 12, which says, “Do not repay evil for evil,” but Jeffress says that that passage is referring to Christians, not to the government.

“A Christian writer asked me, ‘Don’t you want the president to embody the Sermon on the Mount?’?” he said, referring to Jesus’s famous sermon. “I said absolutely not.”

6. Fake christians that have Trumps ear

can't wait for nuclear Armageddon.

They think they will rule in the ashes of a worldwide charnel house of the dead and dying.

Who could have known that letting a criminal traitor con artist take control of the most lethal military in the world would turn out bad huh?

With Mueller closing in on his traitorous criminal acts and even some of his base starting to abandon him, Trump needs a reichstag fire type event to save himself.

Up pops the evil dictator of NK and the religious right whispers in his ears DO IT Mr President, it's God's will!!
