Only on The Brody File: Religious Leaders Meet, Pray with Donald Trump
The Brody File/CBN News ^ | 9/29/2015 | David Brody

Posted on 09/29/2015 5:39:09 PM PDT by LS

GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump met and prayed with about 40 religious leaders and pastors in his Trump Tower office Monday afternoon.

Among the attendees were televangelists Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, conservative evangelical Christian Pastor David Jeremiah, TBN religious broadcaster Jan Crouch, Pastor Paula White, Jews For Jesus Rabbi Kirt Schneider and Pastor Darrell Scott.

The meeting lasted roughly two and a half hours and ended with pastors gathering around Trump and laying their hands on him in prayer. Kenneth Copeland, Paula White, and Rabbi Schneider prayed during that time, asking the Lord to give the GOP presidential frontrunner wisdom, stability and knowledge necessary to pursue this endeavor. They also prayed for America and for God's will to be done.

During the meeting, he talked about his Christian faith. At one point he admitted that he may not have read the Bible as much as the pastors in the room. As the conversation continued, a few of the ministers implored Trump to tone done some of his harsh rhetoric.

Pastor Scott, who was present in the meeting and is neutral in this presidential race, said Trump humbly received the message by nodding his head, listening attentively and not being combative at all.

“He has a very high regard and a very deep respect for men and woman of the cloth,” Scott tells The Brody File.

As for additional subject matter, Trump told the religious leaders and pastors that he will be a strong supporter of Israel and that defeating ISIS would be a strong part of his agenda. He also discussed trade, balancing the budget, eliminating the deficit and tax reform.

As for faith issues, he talked about how religious liberty and Christianity is under attack in America and that there is a lot of religious intolerance for Christianity in today’s society.

The subject of race relations also came up when some of the African-American pastors in the room mentioned that there seems to be some detachment between him and the black community. While citing some polls to the contrary, Scott told The Brody File that Trump agreed with the overall assessment and would try to do a better job.

Scott believes the GOP presidential frontrunner made headway during the meeting.

“I think Donald Trump changed the opinions of the African-American pastors that were in the room. They saw a side of him outside of the media depiction, and that they would give strong consideration in regards to supporting his candidacy."

You really don’t make enough sense to me to respond. Trump just sat there and took all of their bullshit.

At this point we need Joshua. Moses didn’t get to go into the Promised Land and we’ve been in the wilderness for 55 years now.

But there is no Judgment for the saved in Christ. Right?

For those who are indeed saved by virtue of the Blood of Christ, by seeking Him and accepting Him as their Saviour, they do indeed escape Judgment for their sins as Christ took on the penalty for their transgressions, however we will all give an account for our actions.

What do you believe there, n00b?

When it comes to your chronic and pathological hatred for Donald Trump, you've got the franchise and the market cornered on "dreadful" there Mikey.

I can tell you for certain that this surely will be of help. The nation needs every bit of divine assistance it can get, in the face of the evil we now must defeat.

Thanks for sharing!

Mikey, maybe you've not caught on yet, but nobody buys that 'thanks for sharing' crap you come up with when you're unable to continue discussing whatever the topic is at hand.

Your 'thanks for sharing' is just a not-so-clever way of saying "F--K YOU" to whoever it is you're responding to.

You're not fooling anyone.
