Paula White, prosperity preacher once investigated by Senate, is a controversial pick for inaugurati
Source: Washington Post
After Donald Trumps inaugural committee announced its chosen clergy to The Washington Post on Wednesday, the dissent was quieter and it was not about political issues, but theological ones.
What little criticism emerged on Wednesday mostly focused on one of the six clergy members who will pray at Trumps inauguration: Paula White, a Florida-based televangelist who has long been close to Trump.
White is known for embracing the prosperity gospel the theology that God will bless true believers not just with eternal salvation but with material wealth here on Earth. To many believers, the prosperity gospel offers hope and promise. But to other Christians, its heretical; and to some, prosperity gospel preachers motives are suspect, especially when they seem to be enriching themselves by asking for money from their followers.

I do have a problem with her being divorced twice and married three times while being a pastor. I am not against divorce, but I am not a fan of pastors who get divorced, especially two or three times. Also there is a chance that she is not living with her current husband. According to Wikipedia, her current husband resides in Nashville, TN while her church is located in the Orlando region of Florida. Yes, I realize Wikipedia has been described by some as the bathroom stale of encyclopedias.

(21,088 posts)Inflame their resentment about their impoverishment, than offer them theological, economic and political miracles as a palliative. It's the sort of program that I would expect in a Third World country; it is utterly breathtaking - heart-stopping even - to see it happening in the USA.
Edited to add: and he can grab a little pussy while they preach. She is so his type.
