Before long Trump’s cabinet members availing themselves of Bible studies will be smeared as “bitter clingers”, “religious freaks”, “holy rollers” and worse

The reaction of the sniping mainstream media to White House Bible study should make it clear that the best way to study the Holy Scriptures of the Bible is to ‘Home School’ one’s self in the Holy Book.
Bible Studies should be daily, not weekly and completely free of politics. To do it right you need neither priest nor pastor, only your most sincere self and the always available God Almighty.
Just as CFP predicted, the weekly Bible studies attended at the White House by members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet, opens up the way for ginned-up ridicule of Christianity.
I remember when they called “W” a “dangerous Christian” because of the white house bible studies.
I thought, what a complement!!!!
Good, that’ll put evangelicals, charismatics, conservative catholics, orthodox Christians and jews further into his corner.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
The MSM is largely owned and controlled by Disney, Comcast, Viacom, and soon AT&T. Don’t pay these companies to piss in your shoes.
Methinks they protesteth too much...
Let them smear away. They reveal their true nature with every action they take.
If Bible studies are wrong I don’t want to be right. The Bible speaks of mockers at length. That is what this is IMO.
Instead of ‘queuing up’ i read ‘queering up’
Well, they are certain queer over there in MSM land.
The Bible has all manner of politics in it so why try to divorce it from politics? Why should one relegate it to the home unless one is ashamed of it?
A shining city on a hill should put the Bible on the hill too. Yes, hypocrites will misuse it but at some point one has to take a stand and that is especially true when the Bible itself is under attack.
certain = certainly
It's also worth noting that safety in numbers is also at play. Moldylocks wrote of fear before heading out to Berkeley (where she got clocked) but she was comforted by the (alleged) numbers of equally-deranged secularists (who also got clocked).
In early January, a story came out that Kellyanne Conway reportedly took Donald Trump to meet Father George Rutler, the Anglican convert priest and pastor of the Church of St. Michael in Mahattan, who blessed the future president just days before his election.
Fr. Rutler is not just some average priest. He is one of the best homilists I've ever heard in the Catholic Church, a very pious man, a wonderful confessor, and not someone who will lob in softballs. I would NOT be surprised if this had some impact on President Trump, and it could have solidified his trust in Bannon as well. Indeed, it's worth nothing that Fr. Rutler released an an awesome piece on Trump's Warsaw speech.
The Bible study story scares them because God has changed the hearts of men with more "locker room talk" under their belt than Trump..."could there be more converts behind Trump?" I believe, in part, this is why Trump and his retinue keep using rallies to remind we Deplorables that, indeed, there's more of us than them - and our numbers keep growing - and to not despair.
Our steadfast and visible defense of all that is good and right is a partial antidote to this social virus. Everyone wants to win, and one can only hope that further winning will help turn misguided souls to our side.
So...looking at this from a secular viewpoint (as a rhetorical exercise), the mainstream media isn’t on board with philosophy in general. Studying scriptures or studying writings from the Antiquities (philosophy being one) share many parallels.
What if the study of comparative religions were taking place?

Remember that the Democrats, on national TV, publicly rejected God from their party platform 3 times during the 2012 national convention.

There should be no question on whose side the Democrats are. Unless you affirm you support abortion and homosexuality you cannot run as a candidate in their party.
This is what they fear the most.
So what?
Just who is this person who's such an expert on how exactly the Bible is best to be studied?
