(OPINION) CP – Former President Donald Trump’s spiritual adviser Paula White has slammed the American Christian establishment for mischaracterizing her and her ministry, singling out the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission head Russell Moore for branding her a “heretic.”
White, who called on angels from Africa to help deliver victory to Trump in his failed reelection bid last November, lamented the politicization of her life during a Jan. 17 sermon at her City of Destiny Church in Florida.
She asserted that her work with the former president was not political but an “assignment” from God, noting that politics has divided the church and repentance needs to happen.
“Don’t tell me we’re the party of unity with this and we’re going to unify, and every second we have, we’re just hurting people more and more and more, politicizing people’s lives. God didn’t call me to the world. I was sent on assignment to do things in the world, but I’m called to the church. And when the church is this polarized and this divided, God help us. How can we not mourn?” she asked.
White, who insisted she is not a “prosperity preacher” or “heretic,” as some Christians and Christian media have called her, then pointed out that it took a secular publication, The Washington Post, to appropriately define her ministry as “Charismatic Pentecostal.” READ MORE
