Pretty sure Trump and Vance were fuming after this Prayer

A true Christian and American. As a liberal Christian I often feel that I have nobody speaking out for people like me. Brave woman.
If looks could kill, JD Vance would be in jail today. What an ass.
What is she spewing off about? Supporting immigrants and the poor? Everyone? In church of all places? Is nothing sacred?
Doesn’t fit their Christofacist world view.
Jesus was pretty woke. It's weird that Christian nationalists ignore that.
Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) heavily criticized statements made by the Right Rev. Mariann Budde on Tuesday at the inaugural prayer service held for President Trump.
“The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list,” Collins wrote in a post on X with a clip of Budde’s comments.
Collins’s statement comes after Trump’s promise to carry out the largest deportation in the country’s history.
The former president instituted a plethora of border security laws on Monday including the “Remain in Mexico” program which requires asylum seekers to stay in Mexico until their U.S. immigration court date in addition to shutting down the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) One app which facilitates appointments for immigration proceedings.
During the service, Budde begged for mercy over communities likely to be impacted by Trump’s new policies.
Budde said although illegal immigrants are now facing heightened deportation measures, members of the demographic are “good neighbors.”

And of course the House Speaker is threatening to deport the Reverend.
She was born in the U.S.
So much for free speech …

Sorry I PEPSI'd it. Deleting and well done. The pos was probably melting in the Pew hearing true Christianity.
The GOP is a domestic terrorist organization. We get it yet?
Vance looked fine. I never saw an look of anger on his face. Trump also looked fine. This is a lot of meh.....
This guy is more your speed. We get it. Net worth of $300M and preaching a gospel of hypocrisy.
Wildly inappropriate to ask a President to exercise mercy? LOL
And no matter what, not nearly as inappropriate as the Speaker of the House threatening to deport a U.S. citizen for her free speech. Do not criticize the Leader.
But she has more balls than all of the Republican party combined.
How is that an oxymoron? Jesus was an advocate for the marginalized, promoted social justice and inclusivity, critiqued materialism, and had a YUGE emphasis on love and compassion. His teachings focused on empathy, fairness, and uplifting the downtrodden; values that align with today's liberal ideals.
Not saying the two events are equals but I will say that I bet there's almost a 100% overlap between the groups of people that think what the pastor did today is inappropriate and the people that thought Harrison Butker's commencement speech was not inappropriate.
Exactly, all the qualities of the grassroots Republican Party. Meanwhile, liberals openly celebrate Satanism.
Would you mind illustrating how the current GOP's proposed policies align with Christ's teachings? I'd appreciate some specific examples.
What does that have to do with the Speaker’s wildly inappropriate and unconstitutional threat?
And I’ll believe you want to enforce the immigration laws when you start incarcerating every C-suite executive of a company employing undocumented workers.
I knew you'd be the first to reply to that
You're incredibly predictable.Anyways, I was just stating my opinion here. No need to get your little man panties in a bunch
Well, for starters, conservatives don’t openly worship Satan.
Anyway, one could write a freaking book on this. I’ll try to stick to a few points for now.
Liberals proudly and forcefully defend a woman's "right to choose." Conservatives, especially those who believe it is God who fashions little babies in their mother's wombs, reject abortion and call on women to "choose life" and not death.
Jesus read the Scriptures, loved the Scriptures, and fully believed in their inspiration and authority. He even believed the story of Jonah, stating: "The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here". If ever there was a story universally mocked and ridiculed by the theological liberals it is the account of Jonah being swallowed by a large fish, repenting inside the fish, being spit out, and then going and preaching to the people of Nineveh. And yet Jesus not only believed it, but used it in his preaching.
He told the Pharisees that he who made them (Adam and Eve) at the beginning "made them male and female," and said, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” Jesus also believed in the story of Noah and the flood, another Biblical account the skeptics scorn. He compared the times of Noah to the nature of our world as it will be just before His return, saying, "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” He did not attempt, as the liberals do, to dismiss or allegorize these accounts, but spoke of them as history and as fact.
Another area of conservatism is seen in His view of man. Liberals typically believe men and women to be basically good. If you can just provide a positive environment, give people enough education, opportunity, wealth, and enlightenment they will surely come around and become model citizens. Jesus took the more conservative approach and held that man was sinful, not merely deprived or needing a bit more education. He told the people of His day, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him?"

Mike Collins is not the speaker, Mike Johnson is.
I'm listening to my son's soccer team ZOom call, so forgive me if I miss something. But, Wow! First off, I did not expect that detailed of a response, so I thank you for that. I guess I'll just break out my response based on the sections you put forth. Let me start off by stating I live my life under the premise of not imposing my personal beliefs on other. The Bible emphasizes that accountability among Christians should take place within the context of personal relationships and community (not through law). In Matthew 18:15-17, Jesus teaches about addressing sin in a way that reflects care and respect:
“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church...”
For me Accountability is not about judgment or imposing beliefs on strangers but about restoring and guiding fellow believers in a spirit of love and relationship. Basically, it's not my job to hold non-Christians to Christian standards.
--------------
To your Satanists stance; how many people in the US are Satanists? The answer is not many...most people identify as some form of religious or non-religious, but active Satan worshipers are a tiny fraction.
As for abortion, I am personally pro-life, so I understand the passion behind 'choosing life,' especially if you believe that God knits life together in the womb (Psalm 139:13). But imposing faith-based laws can lead to alienation rather than transformation. I prefer Jesus' approach of f offering love and truth, not legislating behavior. He invited people into relationship, not compliance.
I think at this point you get my point...as a Christian, I believe not a single person will be "won over" to Christ through legislation. We are called to love, not rule or judge. Maybe that's why I don't identify as a Republican or Democrat?
The pastor must know her congregation very well. Of course the D.C. area is decidedly left wing so it's safe to assume the congregation is as well.
Well written.
I guess I’ll leave with this. The Bible states God is unchanging. Liberals tend to fit God into their social box, tweaking biblically what needs to be tweaked, whereas conservatives tend to use the Bible as the ultimate WORD of where God stands. As Jesus himself was a big believer in scripture, I find this “tweaking” to be against the will of what God laid out for us.
Well aren’t I a dumb mother ****er?
Drop my anger level down from a House Speaker 8 to a run of the mill MOC 4.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
One truth and one way to the Father? There's only one right answer. That's not wokeness.
