And guess what: The prayer leader asked for it
I guess people who think Jesus was a socialist figure its no big deal to substitute one socialist for another, hey?
Dr. Cynthia Hale, who offered the opening prayer, is senior pastor of Ray of Hope Christian Church in Atlanta. Shes not just some Democrat political hack who was told to go up there and go through the motions of doing a prayer so they could say they did it. And my discernment tells me that she was trying to be sincere, although I note two things:
Bernie is their god,So..........
1. A Christian pastor would typically pray in Jesuss name rather than saying to God, in your name, because the whole point of invoking a name is that its Jesus whose authority we cite in coming before God at all. I wonder if she was told to back away from the Jesus reference - or just decided she ought to - because mentioning Jesus wouldnt be diverse enough for a Democrat convention. Or to put it another way, because the prevailing thinking among Democrats is antipathy toward Christianity.
2. Presuming to tell God, You have given us wisdom by nominating Hillary Rodham Clinton might have inspired a divine response: I did? You dont stand there before God and cite some decision you made, and tell God it must have been His idea. That statement turned the prayer into a political speech, and considering how secular the audience is going to be at a Democrat convention, how can anyone really be surprised that the Bernie supporters responded as they did?

And Dhimmicrats pray to whom?
Karl Marx?
Che Guevara?
Mao Tse Tung? (old spelling.....my spelling)
hairy thunderer or cosmic muffin? (Apologies to National Lampoon)
Any prayers spoken at the DNC is strictly for those blue collar Union types who still have faith in a creator. Useful idiots to the real purpose of the party.
Did I need to look to see what color she was? No, but I did. You’d think someone would have told her how to pronounce the candidates’ name properly at least.
HILLARY RODDEN CLINTON. Maybe she was trying to say ROTTEN!
Most Americans are intellectually and spiritually lazy. They don’t understand our history or our constitution. They don’t understand the guiding principles of our founding fathers were absolutely interwoven with Judeo-Christian principles and morals built on biblical teaching. The majority of kids today come out of K-12 plus thinking we are an awful nation built on the backs of the poor and oppressed - they have no understanding of our nation being the shining beacon on the hill of freedom in an otherwise dark world history. They don’t comprehend the source of light of which Reagan spoke so eloquently.
They have no compass and no foundation. Therefore, they are easily manipulated and fall prey to false teachings, false history, and a false worldview. They don’t see the light of America because the false history of darkness combined with ignorance drives the light from their hearts. We are in deep trouble.
Same as last time when they vocally ejected the Lord. I feel sure He heard the prayer, but it must have been as garlic to a werewolf to the attendees and delegates.
You have given us wisdom by nominating Hillary Rodham Clinton
Sorry, lady...you don't get to blame God for this one.
Sorry, lady...you don't get to blame God for this one.
Blame her idol's (Saul Alinsky) hero, the devil for this one.
How can anyone, other than those who have difficulty getting their heads around the obvious, deny that the Dem party is being infiltrated at an accelerating rate?
One of the reasons for booing Hillary, if not the principle reason, is that she has abandoned her Marxist inclinations in favor of being a money grabbing thug.
In addition to Bernie, her victims include the poverty-stricken in multiple 3d world locations.
Uhh, female pastor?
Their website lacks verses from the Bible. Nowhere did I see how to receive salvation. Instead, it only give a feel good message and promises spiritual powers.
Their information about being a member requires you to pledge yourself to the pastor. Cult much?
More cultish language: They promise to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ while promoting the vision and mission of Ray of Hope Christian Church.
And that vision is? To change the present world into the Kingdom of God. (Sorry, but that is not how that works... nor shall it be the hand of man, or woman, that turns this world over to Christ.... They need to read Revelation)
Ms. Hale signed a petition in Georgia, January 2015, that affirmed homosexuality and gay marriage. She must have forgot to read Romans 1-2 as well.
