Trump and Pence get morning sermon |
famousflavius |
First Baptist Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffres preached a sermon to Trump and Pence before the inauguration today. He likened Trump to Nehemiah.
Nehemiah was a builder, he first built a wall and ignored his critics. |

I would haVe expected the preacher to cover that scripture that says "Do unto others as they do unto you!" OH WAIT.............  _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!

As I have suspected all along. Jeffress doesn't understand scripture.
Careful exegesis would show Nehemiah really has no solid scriptural comparison to Trump, the wall or his presidency. |

Does that mean Priebus was wrong to compare trump to Jesus? |

Nehemiah built a wall around Jerusalem & Trump will build a wall around America.
I see the analogy w/out having to go too deep into the exegesis or theological analogies.
It was a sermon to encourage & uplift the incoming President & VP that God has allowed to be elected (Dan. 2)
Pastor Jeffres has been a Trump supporter all along & I like the idea that Trump enjoys hearing from Pastor Jeffres as a spiritual advisor.

At least Trump is open to hearing from Christians. Would you rather his ear be tuned to the Muslim Imams? |

I have listened to the first half (and may listen to the second half later). I think you are right on target. |

Faulty exegesis fer shore. Correct exegesis would reveal that Roger Waters is the true contemporary counterpart of Nehemiah. It was Waters who wrote “THE WALL.”  |

Only a bunch of negative nellies couldnt see that nehemiah built a wall ... And trump wants to build a wall... And there are similarities. Personally, i would have preferred Trump be compared to God in the garden of eden....kicking out those that didnt belong and putting a guard up to keep them out. How's that.  _________________ Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going today! |

He might have been more like the Benjamites who hid in the vineyard and when the girls came out to dance, he grabbed him one.

I listened to the second half, and it was very good also.
(I also liked the feature that when I went to the link the second time, it took up right where I left off.) |
