It was a disgusting use of the pulpit. Trump will not be getting an apology. She showed who she is. Could have and should have used that time to give a message of the Gospel - the good news that through belief in Jesus Christ you can receive the free gift of eternal life. I'll pray for her.

For the love of God, Trump and his family were in "church" - where NO ONE should be "embarrrased - as you say" and ESPECIALLY NOT IN a "supposed" spiritual place......by someone who claims to be as such?!?!

HOW DID HE FALL INTO A TRAP??!?!?

THERE IS NOTHING TO LAUGH ABOUT HERE.

That woman (there is nothing holy about what she said DID) - IINTENTIONALLY (she has been on MSM/fake news) SET OUT TO PUT her 2.cents worth out there.

What President Trump said p brain is that she owes an apology to the American people and she does. She's a fraud. She pretends to be a religious leader but she's for trans rights which means she's against women's rights which is against America as far as as I'm concerned. If you believe in transconverting whether it's hormones or actual operations before the age of 18, then you're against minors which the Democrat socialist Nazis are against. People like you are a danger to themselves into society and the fact that you have gone through our education system and come out like a brain dead idiot is frightening but it does prove that it's time to revamp our entire education system so we No longer lead the world in the production of stupid. I bet we could export people like you and make a lot of money. What do you think LOL

This was supposed to be a prayer not a lecture or an opinion or desired communication. The entire point is prayer for our president and nation. Not to be an activist. There is always a time and place for everything. She has the right to say what she wants to, but she was supposed to be praying. That was not a prayer over him, that was a statement. You may not like the man and that is your right, but the pulpit is not a place for an activist to confront a newly elected President. We did not humiliate Biden, but you guys want to continue to allow it to happen no matter what, how or when. And a woke church has a lot of problems when they move away from preaching, the word of God.

PRESIDENT TRUMP does nothing by accident!

How can ANYONE JUDGE anyone's relationship with GOD?

REALLY.....

FYR -

This is the truth about "Q" you've been searching for.

Q represents Pleiadian contact with the NSA.

Pleiadians have been working with military white hats since JFK.

They are the biblical angels of light.

Trump has known about Pleiadians for decades.

Trump, Barron and Melania have flown on Pleiadian crafts.

They know everything about what's coming.

The Pleiadian assigned to lead the Great Awakening mission as "Q"

is the soul who lived as John F. Kennedy. The human is deceased,

but the soul is eternal.

Trump is being guided by Pleiadians to lead us to the Shift.

It will happen in your lifetime.

Earth will receive ascension, full disclosure and become members of

the Galactic Federation of Light.

501(c)3 Political Speech Limitations

Churches organized under the 501©(3) non-profit laws face significant limitations on political speech to maintain their tax-exempt status. Here are the key restrictions:

Prohibition on Endorsing Candidates: Churches are not allowed to endorse or oppose specific political candidates. This includes any direct or indirect support for a candidate, such as through public statements, endorsements, or campaign activities.

Limited Lobbying: While churches can advocate for issues that are important to their congregation, they cannot engage in substantial lobbying activities or political campaigning. This means they cannot spend a substantial part of their resources on influencing legislation or political campaigns.

Nonpartisan Speech: Churches can encourage their congregation to vote and provide nonpartisan information about issues in elections. They can also organize voter registration drives, host candidates as speakers, and hold discussions about the relationship between church doctrine and ballot issues, as long as these activities do not cross into partisan speech.

Reporting Requirements: To maintain their tax-exempt status, churches must comply with strict IRS regulations and annual reporting requirements. Violations can lead to the revocation of tax-exempt status and imposition of penalties.

These limitations are part of the Johnson Amendment, which was passed in 1954 to prevent 501©(3) organizations from engaging in political campaign activities. Despite some efforts to repeal this amendment, it remains in effect, ensuring that churches and other non-profit organizations maintain a clear distinction between their religious and political activities.

Thank you- this was my reaction, too. This is why our church cannot advocate for prolife candidates ; our pastors admonish us not to distribute ANY political flyers- even in the parking lot!- during Election seasons. yep- the Johnson Amendment silences ministers, rabbis, imams ( allegedly). but it really only silences conservative Christians .

Greg, I think you are missing the point. Trump didn’t demand that she be fired or disciplined by the Episcopal Church. He was merely pointing out the obvious bias and inappropriate ambush of political bias sloppily disguised as a sermon. The Bishop would have been far more successful in her delivery had she illustrated examples in the Bible how Jesus was merciful to those who didn’t necessarily deserve mercy. However, the Bishop decided that a full frontal assault ambush was the appropriate tactic.

I wish you would cuz you always say things so ambiguously you're like the modern-day Nostradamus. I hope you're not implying in any way that President Trump doesn't have the right to say what he did, which is that she owes an apology to the American people. And in my view she does. It doesn't mean she has to do it but she absolutely does. Just as you have the right to turn into a 5-year-old on social issues and skyscream. But we still love you for your economic views 🙂 but we tolerate your socialist racist views because in this country we all have freedom of speech. I don't have to agree with you on social issues. In fact, I pretty much disagree with you on everything but the economy. I would say Ron Paul's pretty much the same as me. He would agree with you on the economy and totally disagree with you on everything else. As I said to many people on here, if you believe in rewarding or punishing anyone on the basis of race, sex or religion. You are a racist. So if anyone please entrance rights or the rights of the mentally ill to believe whatever the hell they want and we are forced to accept that illusion then I think you're infringing on the rights of women. And I already know your views on children because you've been very clear. You don't care about minors. And I'll be clear with you if it were up to me. I'd put any parent or doctor in jail for life for doing any kind of hormonal or sex surgery on a minor under the age of 18. Unlike you, I like to be clear 🙂

Not an attack on free speech. She could've said, "Hail Satan!" and a similar demand for an apology would be appropriate. The pulpit of a church isn't protected by free speech anyway under 501c(3) rules

He should've walked out when this apostate started lecturing him about how wonderful it is to mutilate children. He can ask for an apology but he won't get one from that freak.

YESS !! I agree ! You are wrong here Greg. This was a sacred appointment. This was not another speech... It was a sacred appointment and was abused. It was a demonic attack. God wins always ! Opposition will continue. God has Won. We will continue to fight the enemy. No weapon used against us will prosper. This is God's word. Pray Greg to get clarity on this.

It's time to grow up and stop being a lying hypocrite. My friend stick to economics and stop preaching about the environment while you run a fuel dragster every week and power your house with electricity from the grid and not from solar. You're just a typical socialist Democrat hypocrite

What Planet do you live on Gregory??? This Woke Bishop who stated in 2020 that President Trump must be removed and who has TDS stated things that directly attacked our President and disrespected him and our Nation. President Trump has the Right to Free Speech as well and he let this woman Bishop say what she wanted to say and didn't walk out on her and know I would have. Sorry, GOD did not create people to be Gay or whatever they call themselves by so many names these days, this is the work of Satan just like what came out of this Bishop's mouth. She also attacked because we are going to start deporting illegals that broke our laws, raped women and children and committed other crimes not so serious but crimes against us all and we should feel bad, when they don't care about our Nation. Yes this Woke Bishop needs to apologize to America and our President and this whole religious Prayer Service was supposed to be NONE POLITICAL and she made it Political. So How was Free Speech being attacked????? Are you just trying to PISS people OFF Gregory????? Soon you may not have any Subscribers.

I shouldn't have said it better myself. Amen. That excuse for a bishop is an embarrassment to her religion. To the American people and to her sex. She obviously has no respect for the rights of women and no respect for the rules of law in this country

I wonder what the "bishop" would have done if Trump got up, walked out and took everyone with him and left her standing there like the fool she is. Trump is being very gracious and deserves an apology.

It was very inappropriate by this Bishop. Shame for Trump’s team for not previewing the “material”.

Hello Greg, I appreciate your content, care and passion for what you bring to the community.

On this one though you are way off..

First of all, that wasn't a "Sermon" and that’s not a "Bishop" and all she represents is what used to be a "Church Denomination"(Episcopal) but has long departed from the New Testament Faith. I encourage you to go crack open your Bible before you defend someone who’s supposed to be standing up for the Holy Scriptures and the Faith that was once delivered to the Saints. She in no way shape or form fulfills the office and requirements of a Bishop.

Go look up what this lady stands for and then try to reconcile it back to what the Holy Scripture teaches and what the New Testament lays out clearly of what a Christian is and is not. This lady is an Apostate, Deceived, Enemy of the Cross and the Church of Jesus Christ. She stood up for her Father, the Devil, and attacked the President of the United States because he doesn’t support the perversion that she thinks is good and right, and the lawlessness of those illegally in this country.

I'm being very strong here Greg because Jesus the Messiah suffered a horrible death on the Cross and spilt his Sinless Blood for sinners like you, me, and this so call "Bishop". Not so she could just call herself a Christian and then deny the Power of the New Life He gives to those that believe and obey what he taught. Instead she stands for the very Sin He died for. She then has the audacity to condemn our President during his inauguration for not joining her deception, perversion and rebellion against the God she claims to serve. The only God she serves is Herself....

Then you go on to say Freedom of Speech is being violated, seriously? Trump sat there and gave her all the time she wanted to exercise her Free Speech. And then he exercised his Free Speech to criticize her and put her and her so called local Church in its place for the disgrace that they are claiming themselves to be followers of Jesus.

Read my post again.... its predominantly about the Apostate Bishop's "Rant", not about defending Trump. She had her say, and he's had his say. As for defending the Trump conviction its very apparent that it was just another rigged trail from the Bidenstein/Deep State crew that are terrified of Trump destroying their power...that case is on Appeal and will be overturned, and that's not me saying it, its lawyers on both sides of the political isle..

That was a political ambush. President Trump’s staff should have done a better job of researching and vetting the Bishop’s political bias before agreeing to attend.

You can vet these trans activists, who hate the rule of law and wanted to find the police. But the problem is you don't expect this amount of lying and distortion from someone that pretends to be a religious person.

Why do you hate Trump so much? Are we better off with Biden, Obummer, Clintons, Bush’? You support a radical, progressive ideology designed to usher in communism? You rant and mock but have not articulated any thoughts with a solution.
