Rev. Jamal Bryant calls Trump meeting with inner-city pastors 'a stain on the body of Christ'

Baltimore Rev. Jamal Bryant had strong words for the influential inner-city pastors who met with President Donald Trump on Thursday for a meeting about prison reform, job growth and other issues affecting inner cities.

“This is a stain on the body of Christ. This is a stain on our community,” the pastor said in a 25-minute Periscope video Thursday night. “I need to know how all of ya’ll were smiling at that table while the whole world frowns at what this represents and what it looks like. The blood is dripping off your hands.”

The pastors have been heavily criticized for meeting with Trump. Rev. Darrell Scott, a pastor from Cleveland, received swift backlash online after he called Trump “the most pro-black president that we’ve had in our lifetime.”

“The president actually wants to prove something to our community, our faith-based community and our ethnic community,” Scott said, according to a White House transcript. “The last president didn’t feel like he had to. He felt like he didn’t have to prove it. He got a pass.”(continued)

What in the wide, wide world of sports does President Trump have to do with gentrification? And there were black illegal immigrant detainees? You'd have thought the media would be sure to get pictures of those.

“A stain on the Body of Christ”...

Isn’t that blasphemous? I think so.

Baltimore Rev. Jamal Bryant worships hate. May God (the real one) grant him the grace of repentance and conversion.

I wonder if this “ pastor” actually knows the Bible and is he actually born again?

This all continues the Trump is Satan meme.
However, didn’t Christ speak with Satan at times?
Did that leave a stain?

Trump hate is all consuming.

Christ, as part of the Triune God, created Satan. How can talking to one of your creations stain you?

The radicals are continuing to lose and they know it.

Trump has gone from 15% of blacks supporting him to 29% supporting him, in 12 months. Panic will set in soon.

Now that is speaking truth to power. As for Reverend Jamaal, maybe he's just mad because he wasn't invited. And maybe he should be doing some politicking in Baltimore to get the murder rate down.

Bryant is a big promoter of “Black Lives Matter,” the hate-motivated inflaming that resulted in riots and the murders of several police.

Rev Jamal Bryant sounds more MUSLIM than Christian.

Jesus said: "Love your enemy."

Sounds like Jamal thinks WHITE PEOPLE are the enemy.

I hope He realizes that he is a TERRIBLE BIGOT.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
