Woke Bishop Runs to Daytime TV for Support After Trump Rebuke
Abby Trivett 11:52AM January 23, 2025

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde publicly addressed her rebuke of the President during the National Prayer Service on Tuesday.

Speaking to “The View,” Budde says that, “My responsibility that morning, yesterday morning, was to reflect, to pray with the nation for unity. And I was pondering what are the foundations of unity, I wanted to emphasize respecting the honour and dignity of every human being.”

Budde says she was going against a “narrative” she believes is polarizing and divisive, and that she was deliberately not paying attention to the reactions of Trump and Vance while delivering her message.

“How could it not be politicized?” Budde says. “We’re in a hyper political climate.”

She further discussed police officers and law enforcement officials coming into her church to apprehend illegal aliens.

“It was never encoded in law, any of the police officer and officials could come into our churches if they felt they had just cause. Now, they would need a warrant. They would need all the legal requirements to enter into such spaces…”

This drastic, left-leaning agenda from Budde is anything but loving and caring. Rebuking the President to push a political agenda and suggest that he does not care for those in need—especially from the pulpit—fails to express Christian love and righteousness. Her double standard regarding what law-abiding people should do reveals a disregard for respecting leadership, despite Christians being called to honour those in such positions.

Preaching identity politics is a dangerous slippery slope that reminds us to cling to Christ, hold firm to the truth of the gospel, and keep our eyes on biblical truths that empower others to know the Holy Spirit.

Not persecuting your neighbours is a Christian message, especially if you yourself are a convicted felon and a pussy grabber.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7

ChirstFireAltar:
Trump would soon deport her.

jflower06:
Trust you know the reason for the destruction of Sodom?

Armaggedon:
calling a gay what he is is now persecution.

budaatum:


Trust you know God had a Son?

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[b] and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:38-48

Of Course Donald Trump Didn’t Enjoy Hearing a Truly Christian Message

I love the jokes people made about him not putting a hand on the Bible during the swearing in. The guy is a pretender and all the other pretenders, who claim they love but have hearts filled with hate, all love him.

jflower06:
Trust you know God doesn't have a partner

budaatum:


I know Gods are human creations, and that humans create their Gods in their own images, some with partners and some without.

I also know Nigerians know only one God out of all the thousands of Gods that humans have created since the beginning of time.

That will change though, once we free education from the grasp of theology.

jflower06:
I can understand where you are coming from with this response but i want you yo know that Nigerians know more than one god.

budaatum:


Where have you been, my Lord!

Happy New Year.

Franklin Graham Criticizes Woke Bishop
By Sarah Wagner
January 23, 2025

Reverend Franklin Graham criticized the statements of the leader of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, Bishop Mariann Budde.

Graham told Newsmax that Budde was “wrong” to politicize the inaugural prayer service. “That was really a national forum, a national stage pulpit that she was standing in. And for her to use that for her own political agenda was wrong,” he said.

Discussing the bishop’s statements on immigration and LGBTQ children, Graham said that while “people suffered a lot to come here illegally,” illegal immigrants “need to go back and come in legally.”

“It has nothing to do with compassion. It’s to do what’s right to do. If you want to have compassion, then have the law the same for everybody,” he stated. “Don’t have a law for one group and another law for another group. No, it’s one law fits all.”

Speaking to Piers Morgan, Graham emphasized that the bishop “took advantage of that national pulpit for her own personal agenda – and that was wrong.”

“Because the president talks about having a new policy … of two gender, male or female, but somehow the LGBTQ community is going to be maligned someway. That’s just not true,” Graham said. “She said they’re going to feel unsafe. Why? Nothing’s changed. They still have their freedoms and their rights as we all do.”

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that the bishop “brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way.”

“She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA,” Trump said. “Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!”

Graham emphasized that the bishop “took advantage of that national pulpit for her own personal agenda – and that was wrong.”

“It has nothing to do with compassion. It’s to do what’s right to do. If you want to have compassion, then have the law the same for everybody,” he stated. “Don’t have a law for one group and another law for another group. No, it’s one law fits all.”
