Fox News Trots Out Pro-Trump Pastor to Assure the World Adultery and Porn Stars Are No Big Deal

As the Stormy Daniels news ramps up in Trump world, it’s no surprise that the president’s defenders are looking for ways to excuse the things they wouldn’t excuse Bill Clinton or any other Democrat for. A

merican Pravda – Fox News for those still under the illusion that they’re “fair and balanced” – decided to put their spin on the issue by trotting out a “pastor” to explain why adulteries and other vile failures of character are no longer a problem for Christians.

Yeah, it’s anything goes, now.

“Evangelicals know they’re not compromising their beliefs in order to support this great president,” Pastor Robert Jeffress said on Fox News Thursday. “And let’s be clear, evangelicals still believe in the commandment ‘thou shalt not have sex with a porn star.’”

Way to distort the Word of God, Jeffress.

1 Corinthians 5:11-13 NLT tells us otherwise. “11 I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people.

12 It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. 13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”

And how “great” he is debatable. He just signed off on tariffs that are going to wreck our nation’s economy, and he’s been embroiled in turmoil and scandal since he took office.

I think Jeffress’ definition of “great” is skewed.

“However, whether this president violated that commandment or not is totally irrelevant to our support of him,” he continued.

It shouldn’t be. Character matters.

Jeffress went on to use the tired line of reasoning that Trump supporters weren’t voting for an altar boy.

No, they voted for their flesh above what the Bible teaches. That’s kind of the problem, Jeffress. Even a make-believe pastor should be able to figure that one out.

“We are all sinners, we all need forgiveness, [and] that forgiveness is available through Christ for anyone who asks,” he said. “And whether the president needs that forgiveness for this particular allegation, whether he’s asked for it, is between him, his family and his god.”

We already know he hasn’t, based on his own public admission of not bringing God into his life.

…….

Maybe somebody needs to remind Jeffress that whatever access to power he has now, it’s temporary, and he’ll have to answer for it all, one day.
