Run away whenever you hear those words.......................

Totally agree. I don’t need to hear God’s words “channeled” through anyone.

She’s a whack job.

Oh you were by far the least critical of the critics. 8>)

But no man or woman is without sin as I have learned in my many years on this strange planet. 8>)

“God will bless you if you send me a $300.00 Faith Seed.”

And if you call within the next ten minutes I’ll throw in a free first class ticket non-stop to hell.

Happens when you forget what the protestant fathers protested against.

Paula White has no business being in business as a pastor, but there is nothing contrary to the first amendment and Protestant "fathers" in a politician as a private citizen building a church. Or even as President, recognizing and fostering religious practices, as no less a separatonist as Jefferson did, even having a female evangelist preach in the house of representatives.

It is no exaggeration to say that on Sundays in Washington during the administrations of Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) and of James Madison (1809-1817) the state became the church. Within a year of his inauguration, Jefferson began attending church services in the House of Representatives. Madison followed Jefferson's example, although unlike Jefferson, who rode on horseback to church in the Capitol, Madison came in a coach and four. Worship services in the House--a practice that continued until after the Civil War--were acceptable to Jefferson because they were nondiscriminatory and voluntary. Preachers of every Protestant denomination appeared. (Catholic priests began officiating in 1826.) As early as January 1806 a female evangelist, Dorothy Ripley, delivered a camp meeting-style exhortation in the House to Jefferson, Vice President Aaron Burr, and a "crowded audience." Throughout his administration Jefferson permitted church services in executive branch buildings. The Gospel was also preached in the Supreme Court chambers.

Jefferson's actions may seem surprising because his attitude toward the relation between religion and government is usually thought to have been embodied in his recommendation that there exist "a wall of separation between church and state." In that statement, Jefferson was apparently declaring his opposition, as Madison had done in introducing the Bill of Rights, to a "national" religion. In attending church services on public property, Jefferson and Madison consciously and deliberately were offering symbolic support to religion as a prop for republican government. - https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel06-2.html (Somehow this historical truth on a gov. site survived Democratic administrations) More

I wish he would step away from her.

Yes, for a sound male evangelical pastor.

[daniel1212]

It’s basically an infomercial: “God will bless you if you send me a $300.00 Faith Seed.” She often has fellow prosperity hustler Steve Munsey on there with her to back her up: “God spoke to me, and he directed me to tell you that you need to send a $300.00 Faith Seed to Paula

Meaning she is a business women, in the wrong "business." Maybe that is one reason the President likes her.

According to his long-time personal pastor, Paula White-Cain, Trump, in 2006 was taking steps to build a glass cathedral.

I think has already been done.
