Speak Up If It Looks Like You Are Endorsing!
Preachers Need to Teach or Speak Up to Donald Trump

Friends,


I am pretty sure you have heard of the controversy between Donald Trump and Ben Carson over Dr. Trumps recollection of his temper and the word "pathological".

Do you remember the publicity garnered by the preachers that prayed for Mr.Trump? To the world it looked like an endorsement, did it not? 

Well, I am challenging those preachers to do some teaching or correction of Mr. Trump or the CBN team who first published the article.

Mr. Trump expressed how serious and uncurable Dr. Carson's temper really was. 


FIRSTLY those preachers need to teach Mr. Trump that anything can be cured by Jesus Christ as Dr. Carson claims. 


SECONDLY those preachers need to teach Mr. Trump that the definition of "pathological" is not hopeless.


Now FYI the article and preachers who prayed for Mr. Trump was as follows:


CBN: Only on The Brody File: September 29, 2015 3:02 PM


GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump met and prayed with about 40 religious leaders and pastors in his Trump Tower office Monday afternoon.

Among the attendees were televangelists Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, conservative evangelical Christian Pastor David Jeremiah, TBN religious broadcaster Jan Crouch, Pastor Paula White, Messianic Rabbi Kirt Schneider and Pastor Darrell Scott.

The meeting lasted roughly two and a half hours and ended with pastors gathering around Trump and laying their hands on him in prayer. Kenneth Copeland, Paula White, and Rabbi Schneider prayed during that time, asking the Lord to give the GOP presidential frontrunner wisdom, stability and knowledge necessary to pursue this endeavor. They also prayed for America and for God's will to be done."  The religious leaders were effusive in their praise of Trump after the meeting."

Now, you may not think this is a big deal, but this is how much of the press is handling this;
"Trump questions Carson's 'pathological temper', faith" 
And here is the actual definition of pathological:

pathological means :


If something is caused by a physical or mental disease, it is pathological, like someone whose need to wash the floor every evening is part of a pathological compulsion for cleanliness, or a growth on someone's elbow that turned out to be a pathological.

Pathological comes from a Greek word, pathologikos, which means “treating of diseases” — pathos means "suffering." Anyone who studies or works with diseases, from their causes to their symptoms, identifies how the disease affects its victims, in other words, its pathological effects. Remember that this is a medical distinction. If a person has, for example, obsessive-compulsive disorder, his or her repetitive actions are pathological.


Now, why bother you with this? 

It is a great time and subject to let everyone know that Jesus can cure anything, despite misunderstandings by the world to the contrary.
The subject is likely to come up. I pray that you use it in relation to today's news. 

ALSO: If you have a connection with some of the ministries who prayed for Trump, likewise encourage them to teach him and to stand up for Jesus!
