Hillary Clinton's pastor compared her defeat to President Trump in the 2016 election to Jesus Christ’s death.
“You, our nation, our world, is experiencing a black Friday," Rev. Bill Shillady wrote to Clinton one day after her loss. "Our hope is that Sunday is coming. But it might well be hell for a while."
He also said “life is filled with a lot of Fridays” and Good Friday “represented the day that everything fell apart.”
“Today, you are experience a Friday. Your Friday is what happened in the last few weeks and last night in the tragic loss. But Sunday is coming!” he continued.
To Christians, Good Friday is the day Jesus's death is commemorated, while Easter Sunday marks His resurrection.
“Friday is finished," Shillady wrote. "Sunday is coming. Death will be shattered. Hope will be restored. But first, we must live through the darkness and seeming hopelessness of Friday."
Here is the letter in full, via CNN:
Sunday is Coming)November 9, 2016
It is Friday, but Sunday is coming. This is not the devotional I had hoped to write. This is not the devotional you wish to receive this day. While Good Friday may be the starkest representation of a Friday that we have, life is filled with a lot of Fridays.
For the disciples and Christ's followers in the first century, Good Friday represented the day that everything fell apart. All was lost. The momentum and hope of a man claiming to be the Son of God, the Messiah who was supposed to change everything, had been executed.
Even though Jesus told his followers three days later the temple would be restored, they had no idea of what that Sunday would be. They betrayed, denied, mourned, fled and hid. They did just about everything BUT feel good about Friday and their circumstances.
or us, Friday is the phone call from the doctor that the cancer is back. It's the news that you have lost your job. It's the betrayal of a friend, the loss of someone dear. Friday is the day that it all falls apart and all hope is lost. We all have Fridays. But, as the saying goes, "Sunday's coming!"
Today, you are experiencing a Friday. Your Friday is what happened in the last few weeks and last night in the tragic loss. But Sunday is coming!
Jesus completed the excruciating task of giving up his life as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. It was his faith and belief in his heavenly Father, that gave him the grace and peace to submit to Friday. While death had seemingly won, Jesus knew better. When he said, "It is finished," it wasn't meant to be a statement of concession. It was a declaration that a new day was on the way.
Friday is finished. Sunday is coming. Death will be shattered. Hope will be restored. But first, we must live through the darkness and seeming hopelessness of Friday.
You know one of my favorite sayings is "God doesn't close one door without opening another, but it can be hell in the hallway." My sister Hillary. You, our nation, our world is experiencing a black Friday. Our hope is that Sunday is coming. But it might well be hell for a while. (CNN
The letter comes on the heels of a report that Clinton is interested in becoming a Methodist preacher.
He is a little off. The death that equated to Hillary’s campaign was not of Jesus. It was of Judas. Hillary was acknowledged by her fellow citizens as a traitor, one who sold her country for 30 pieces of silver.
This theologically illiterate preacher does not have his exegesis in order, as is true of most UMC pulpit rats and their beautified Bishops and their lick-spittle Superintendents.
Jesus’ death was of perfection in payment for the world’s sin. Judas’ death was a coward surrendering to his own sin. Judas committed suicide as a false atonement for his arrogance.
Certainly Hillary is not a Christ like figure. Her deep and terrible corruption make her a vilified criminal, not a sacrificial lamb.
If there is any parallel to be drawn with Jesus it is to compare the attitude of Trump’s detractors to the hatred shown Jesus by the Temple authorities, the swamp of that age. Jesus had spoken forcefully against the Temple and claimed it would be destroyed completely. It was, shortly after his resurrection.
I pray we do not need to see this magnificent man destroyed as the price for bringing down the corruption that plagues our nation. Lord, let this cup pass. Nevertheless, if it is Your Will, let it be done.
Come on padre, lighten up. What a jerk.
Must be a huge contributor.
He’s evil.
If someone would nail her to a cross I might agree.
I wish!
...but they did away with crucifixion.
Just goes to show how mentally f***ed up liberals are. She is one evil witch, for sure.
Evidently, her “pastor” can’t tell the difference between good and bad.
Hitlery lied for our sins?0
A dead Hitlery would have more in common with a dead Jesus.
“Hillary Clinton’s pastor compared her defeat to President Trump in the 2016 election to Jesus Christ’s death. “
Hey, I think Shillady just wrote Hillary’s first sermon, you know, for when Hillary starts the “preaching” she said she wants to do.
I was going to use “obtuse,” “overwrought,” and “muddy” to describe this text, but “nutjob” actually captures it
Much better. Thanks
Good grief, what a horse’s @ss!!!
It might be Friday for the Wicked Witch and Reverend Hyperbole, but it is Sunday for America.
The Clinton’s sh**house pastor.
Thank God it’s Friday.
We are indeed living in a evil day when we see Hitlery's "Pastor" says such condescending words about her that it would make even the Holy Angels puke!
Talking about calling Good as EVIL and EVIL as GOOD!! woe unto that man!!
Absolutely!
Sunday is coming! Is that the day she reports to Fort Leavenworth?
And a new day was born . . . it is called ‘Trumpday!’
