NAACP Leader: Praying With Trump Is 'Theological Malpractice Bordering on Heresy'
Fox News Insider ^ | July 17, 2017

A North Carolina preacher who serves as the state's NAACP chair said the Twitter photo of Evangelical leaders "laying hands" on President Trump in prayer was "theological malpractice."

Rev. William Barber II, of the Greenleaf church in Goldsboro said the Evangelical leaders should not have "prayed" with Trump while he is "preying on the most vulnerable."

"You're violating the sacred principles of religion," Barber said, calling the incident "a form of theological malpractice bordering on heresy."

Barber took issue with Trump's support for the "very very very extreme agenda" of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) - chiefly the ObamaCare replacement bill....

I never realized the NAACP was a religious organization.
I just thought it was a racist one.

Christians are supposed to pray for sinners. Maybe the NAACP is taking on the role of a Pharisee.

The irony is breathtaking.

I am just going to ask an honest question because I wonder, if the NAACP had the interests of blacks in mind then why do they vote for a party that cares more for illegal aliens, policies that kill jobs or get them sent overseas, and things like more gun control which will not effect the gangbanger and criminals but the good gun owners, just wondering.

Where is the NAACP outrage against Planned Parenthood abortionists?

does William Barber II, of the Greenleaf church in Goldsboro even understand his religion. a religious leader does not pray with a political leader because they agree with them. a religious leader prays with a politician to get that politician to look beyond themselves and to find answers with in religious principles. Billy graham prayed with eight different presidents and I am sure that a few he disagreed with greatly.

It appears that these National colored people are pulling a theology out of their a$$.

I'm still trying to find out why all these people don't like President Trump. What specifically has he done to harm anyone? It is some kind of vague hatred that no one has been able to articulate.

Another race-baiting pimp who has personally done more to harm his own people than the entire Republican Party ever could.

No, giving Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Jeremiah Wright the honorific “Reverend” is heresy.

He promises to give them jobs, self respect, independence,... That my friend is the last thing in the world a Racist organization like the NAACP or the Demonrat party wants, they won’t be needed anymore.
