Bakker: Blind Leading the Blind

https://www.christianpost.com/news/jim-bakker-trump-has-been-led-to-christ-so-many-times.html

What is more sad, that Jim Bakker after all he's been through is still as lost as ever? Or that he is still granted a voice within the spectrum of Evangelicalism?

One might question his 'many times' notion of salvation but even looking past that for a moment, one thing is clear... whatever salvation Bakker is referring to with regard to Trump, it hasn't taken hold.

In fact the statement reveals a great deal more about Bakker himself and his own understanding of the gospel.

Paula White, the self-styled pastor and false prophetess insists she's heard Trump acknowledge his sin. This is odd because in terms of the public record I think it safe to say that Trump not only dismisses the idea that he's a sinner, he's rather defiant about it. 'Lostness' in Trump is in all actuality amplified over even that of the normal person. He is not just lost, he is profoundly so and clearly understands nothing of the gospel. On a personal level the adjective that best describes his relationship to it is hostile.

It's funny to read about Bakker and Robison in 2019. These are the same frauds that led the Evangelical movement down the path of supporting figures like Reagan and Bush in the 1980's. They were exposed as blind guides and yet thirty years later... they're still around and won't go away.

One wonders what miracles Bakker is referring to. The only miracle is that Christians have been so handed over as to take someone like Trump and transform him into a messianic figure. And of course there's the miracle of Bakker himself... that he still can garner headlines even as he digs the grave of his own condemnation.

He continues to proffer lies and myths about himself, Trump, America and the teachings of Scripture. He is heaping up to himself judgment and dragging many souls along with him.

The idea that Trump wants to 'please God' is perhaps one of the most laughable and yet sad statements I have ever heard uttered. Anyone who has spent any time looking into Donald Trump or has followed him and sought to understand what he is about will understand that Bakker is either a liar, completely deceived... or more likely both.
