Only on The Brody File: Religious Leaders Meet, Pray with Donald Trump

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."

>> “Well you must be immune Mikey, if you can see the “truth” about Trump that no one else can see.” <<

Is that the strawman that you’re going to the dance with?

.
It appears to me that only a small but vocal group here have been wazooed by the Donald. Most can see through him quite well.

Its just that most FReepers are too mature to join your game.

So Mr. Surveyor is it your view that the likes of Cruz, Sessions, Palin, Limbaugh and Levin (not to mention our own Esteemed Founder) have been 'wazooed' by Donald Trump? Do you contend that FReepers who support Trump have likewise been bamboozled?

Who is YOUR candidate by the way?

[Lakeshark]

You haz clearly been mass hypnosissed.

But we've known this for a long time........

[editor-surveyor]

.
So, you really are going to the dance with that strawman!

.
False assertions posed as questions are so Liberal Democrat; do you really want to go there?

[sockmonkey]

I had to dig around the internet to find out who initiated this “private prayer meeting”. It was Paula White who approached Trump.

[Churchillspirit]

You nailed him, MK !

[MeshugeMikey]

it would appear that MANY have never familiarized themselves with The ART oF Social Manipulation.

what do Obama and the Donnie have in common??

MEDIA DARLINGS!!!!

oodles of FACETIME.....

how did Obie ever become POTUS??? ah yes THE MEDIA!!!

who does the media FAVOR to run “against” the democrat?

The Donnie

both Obie and the Donnie ,,,The ONE ,,abd The Other ONE...have let slip some visual and verbal references to at least one point of personal inspiration in the Art and Science of MASS HYPNOSIS.

Yes The extremely LOUD and Fiery Black Preacher! The type who works a CROW into a SWEAT rather than sharing the Gospel from their pulpits

such preachers are feeding into and ON others NEEDS...just like Obie..and Yes DONNIE! for FREE on TV!!

mystery solved!

"Professional Christians will exploit anything for money. Trump was nice to meet them but they are all about money as the collectors for gawd."

I am thankful that I'm not as jaundiced and cynical as you.

And His holy name is "God", not "gawd".

Is that a response to my question? You make outrageous or incoherent statements and refuse to defend them or explain them when challenged. That’s as clear a concession of defeat on your part as one can ask for.

[mkjessup]

Go back and read MeshugeMikey's post #57. He speaks of "no one being immune to deception" however Mikey's stock in trade is presenting himself as some sort of authority on Donald Trump 'mass hypnotizing' everyone, which leads to the conclusion that he (Mikey) must certainly be immune to whatever deceptive tactics are being employed by Trump to 'wazoo' (to borrow your term) the masses.

That is no 'straw man', that is an accurate recitation of Mikey's entire spiel.

Your 'straw man' on the other hand, appears to be twisting words and statements into pretzel-like shapes in order to accuse others of being "Liberal Democrats".

That won't even win you a kewpie doll, FRiend.

[MeshugeMikey]

the difference here....,,,is that carnac was funny

the manner in which the DEVOTEES fall all over themselves ,,and OTHERS to PRAISE the name of The Other One.....The Donnie..would be funny if it werent so dreadfully NAIVE and Braggadocios!

in the REAL ATERNATIVE to the BANAL moronic trump tripe..ALL the media is feeding the all too willing HUNGRY!!

[mkjessup]

who does the media FAVOR to run “against” the democrat?
The Donnie

What media are YOU listening to Mikey?

The media has been leading the GOPe-RINO charge against Trump, or did you miss that first GOP debate when lil Mad Megyn launched her kamikaze attack against Trump?

You talk about 'media manipulation', you ought to be supporting Trump for him calling out the media as biased and unobjective purveyors of untruths!

Give your head a shake pal.

[MeshugeMikey]

Obama was THE media Darling...as a would be candidate

The DOnnie is in precisely the same position.

HOW was a seemingly moderately intelligent adult population so terribly deceived by THE ONE?

MEDIA as a took of MASS HYPNOSIS

HOW is a seemingly moderately intelligent adult population falling for the SAME TECHNIQUE all over again?

THE SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF!! thats how!

People found Obie Entertaining...People find Donnie... ENTERTAINING

well Golly!

[MeshugeMikey]

who has the media GIVEN AWAY the most AIRTIME TO?????

you think the donnie is getting all that space and time because they HATE HIM??

REALLY??

THE Bigger the Lie!

yep thats the plan!!

[Red Steel]

you think the donnie is getting all that space and time because they HATE HIM??

It's very simple. They bring in Trump because he brings in big ratings. They like money more than any dislike of Trump.

[Vision Thing]

Obama was THE media Darling...as a would be candidate

The DOnnie is in precisely the same position.

You've convinced me Mikey.

You have convinced me that your elevator does NOT go all the way to the top floor.

You need help. You really do. You may not see it yourself, but your hatred of Trump has eclipsed any possible logical arguments you may have against him. You have compared him to Chairman Mao and Adolf Hitler, you believe he uses 'mass hypnosis' to dupe the masses, you claim the media is actually promoting Trump when ANY one with a room temperature IQ can see that the media has been going out of their way to try and DESTROY Trump at every opportunity.

You talk about 'manipulation', you have self-manipulated yourself into a state of mental confusion that has little to do with reality.

[mkjessup]

You worry me Mikey.
