Does that mean they are false Christs? Listen and find out!

Trump’s New “Faith Office” Leader, Paula White, Is a False Teacher

Donald Trump has appointed “Pastor” Paula White to lead the White House faith office—but is she fit for the role? Paula White is one of the most well-known prosperity gospel preachers, teaching dangerous doctrines that distort biblical truth.

The Affairs and Scandals of Trump's Pastor | Paula White Documentary

In a world of faith and flashy lights, megachurches and their pastors sometimes come with mega-drama… In Pastor Paula White's world, alleged marital affairs, bankrupting churches, and using church money to pay for plastic surgery aren’t unheard of. As a young girl who lived in a trailer and became a young married mother, she grew up to become a preacher after an affair with the associate-pastor of her church (and not before they ran off together to start their own church). She went on to lead a congregation of 22,000, become a multimillionaire, host a Christian TV show, own a private jet and an 8,000 sqft. beach-front home. But no matter how high she climbed, betrayal, greed, and multiple scandals have followed Paula her entire career and three marriages. This is the scandalous story and luxurious lifestyle of Pastor Paula White.

Outrage as Trump Appoints Paula White as Leader of White House Faith Office

President Donald Trump, during the National Prayer Breakfast on February 6, 2025, aims to address anti-Christian bias within federal agencies and promote religious freedom nationwide. The office will work alongside a new task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi to combat discrimination against Christians in federal institutions such as the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Paula’s leadership in this role underscores a steadfast commitment to fostering faith-based initiatives and ensuring that religious liberties are upheld across the country.

l, a evangelist and spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, has been appointed to lead the newly established White House Faith Office. The appointment has sparked significant controversy, with many considering her a "false teacher" due to her association with the prosperity gospel and her teachings that are seen as heretical by some orthodox Christian leaders.

White has been criticized for her beliefs and practices, which include her endorsement of the prosperity gospel, a movement that teaches that faith in God can lead to material wealth and physical well-being. This belief has led to her being labeled as a heretic by some Orthodox Christian leaders.

Furthermore, her appointment has been met with backlash from various quarters, including concerns about her suitability for such a high-profile role and her controversial statements, such as referring to Black Lives Matter as "anti-Christ" and even a terrorist organization.

Despite the criticism, White has defended her beliefs and denied accusations of heresy, stating that claims about her life and ministry are "misleading" and "inaccurate."

The appointment of Paula White as the leader of the White House Faith Office has thus ignited widespread debate and criticism, particularly regarding the theological and political implications of her role in a government position focused on faith-based initiatives.

WASHINGTON — Paula White, a Pentecostal preacher and longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, has been tapped to head the White House’s Faith and Opportunity Initiative, a successor to previous administrations’ faith-based office that coordinates outreach to religious communities.

“Paula White is an Advisor to the (White House) Faith & Opportunity Initiative,” read a statement from the White House sent to Religion News Service. A White House spokesperson later said, “She is heading up that initiative.”

The news of White’s new role was first reported by The New York Times.

The appointment of the popular author and former pastor of a Florida megachurch, sometimes called “the Trump whisperer” for her closeness to the president, has been long anticipated. Two individuals who regularly engage with the federal government told RNS earlier this year that a federal official explained to them that the Florida pastor was expected to head the agency. The individuals did not want their identities revealed out of concern for reprisal.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State was quick to denounce White’s appointment on Friday.

“Televangelist Paula White is unfit to serve in the position of advisor to the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative,” read a statement from Americans United President Rachel Laser. “She has no experience in government or public service and no history of undertaking the kind of interfaith outreach necessary for this role. Instead, she has operated in the shadows to influence public policies that discriminate against women, LGBTQ people and religious minorities, and the nomination of partisan judges who will support those harmful policies.”

She added: “This appointment is yet another example of President Trump pandering to his evangelical Christian supporters as he scrambles to secure his base amidst an impeachment investigation.”

White prayed at a rally in June of this year when Trump announced his re-election bid, saying, “let every demonic network who has aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of President Trump, let it be broken, let it be torn down in the name of Jesus!”

White was also at Trump’s side in May 2018 when he signed an executive order creating the Faith and Opportunity Initiative in a Rose Garden ceremony on the National Day of Prayer. At the ceremony, Trump called White “my good friend Paula White, who’s done such an incredible job” and asked her to stand from her seat in the audience. 

In August 2018, during a meeting of what the White House called “inner city pastors,” White specifically mentioned the initiative when her turn came to introduce herself, saying to the president, “It’s an honor to serve you with our faith initiative and opportunity,” according to the White House transcript.

White has also been a member of Trump’s informal evangelical advisory board, a group of evangelical pastors who gather frequently at the White House — as recently as this week — to support the president and offer him advice. 

The Faith and Opportunity Initiative is similar to the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships that was created under President George W. Bush and continued under President Barack Obama under a slightly different name.

Melissa Rogers, who headed up that office under Obama, urged White and her new office to embrace three priorities.

“Form partnerships with faith-based and humanitarian organizations to serve people in need,” Rogers said. “Do so by partnering with organizations that reflect diverse faiths and beliefs. And does this work in a way that is consistent with the Constitution?”

She also stressed the need to maintain a “very strong bipartisan tradition of using these partnerships to serve people in need, and to do so with a wide variety of faith-based and neighborhood organizations.”

Under Trump, federal agencies and departments that do not currently have a center on faith-based issues have been ordered to designate a liaison to the new office to coordinate with the adviser.

Trump’s executive order also called for all administration agencies to report to the attorney general concerns raised by religious and community groups about “any failures of the executive branch to comply with protections of Federal law for religious liberty."”

In the past, the director of the faith-based initiative has been involved with supporting national and cabinet-level efforts to partner with religious and community groups to address social needs, from fighting the Ebola virus to feeding hungry schoolchildren.

White stumped for Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign and has defended him throughout his presidency. In August 2017, she declared on the Jim Bakker show that Trump had been elevated to the presidency by God and that resisting him was akin to resisting “the hand of God.” She later said she regretted making those comments, but insisted Trump “is not a racist.”

In May 2018 she was one of several evangelical pastors to attend the dedication of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

White has already been fulfilling many of the duties of her new role on a volunteer basis since the beginning of Trump’s term. Her website gives her credit for coordinating a July 2018 meeting of millennial evangelicals with top administration officials in conjunction with the White House Office of Public Liaison, saying, “Over the past 18 months, Pastor Paula and OPL have brought in over 2,000 pastors and ministry leaders to the White House to have the voice of the faith community heard.”

White will have the support of many conservative evangelical leaders as she begins her formal role. “She would be a perfect fit,” the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, said in an email when her name was mentioned for the office in February.

But White comes to her new position having survived repeated controversy. Her ministry was among six religious broadcasters investigated over three years by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, for allegations of lavish spending. When the probe concluded in 2011, Grassley’s report said several former staffers of her Tampa megachurch wanted to speak to Grassley’s staff but “were afraid of being sued by the church.”

White has even proven controversial among her fellow conservative Christians. Often called a purveyor of the “prosperity gospel” — a theology that champions money as evidence of God’s blessings — she has drawn fire from conservative Christians such as Russell Moore and R. Albert Mohler Jr., who consider the theology heretical or a “false gospel.”

From 2012 until this spring, the charismatic minister — who like Trump is thrice-married — led New Destiny Christian Center, a predominantly black church in Apopka, Florida. She left, she said, in May to carry out an ambitious plan to found 3,000 churches. In 1991, she founded Without Walls International Church with her then-husband Randy White. The church, which at one time boasted 20,000 members, filed for bankruptcy in 2012.

White, who did not attend seminary, will lead an office normally filled by experts with significant expertise in church-state, legal and political arenas.

In the Bush administration, John DiIulio, who has taught politics and religion at Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania, was the office’s first director, followed by Jim Towey, a former lawyer for Mother Teresa, and Jay Hein, a think-tank president.

Joshua DuBois, a Pentecostal minister who worked for President Obama when he was a senator, served in the role before leaving it to Rogers, a laywoman known for her role in developing prominent religious freedom statutes.

Coca-Cola distances itself from Israel, falsely claims it has factory in ‘Palestine’

Since October 7, “dozens of companies, including Coca-Cola, have seen a decline in sales in Muslim-majority countries, with consumers calling for a boycott of firms believed to have links with the Israeli government and military.”

So now Coca-Cola has taken the art of pandering to Muslims to a whole new level. The company launched ad campaigns in many predominantly Muslim markets, and then falsely claimed that it was operating in Muslim countries where it wasn’t, as well as in “Palestine.” Its deception was so far-fetched that the company even managed to irritate “pro-Palestinian advocates.”

Meanwhile, Coca Cola’s chief competitor, Pepsi, owns SodaStream, which puts the company on the hit list for BDS (boycotts, divestment and sanctions) activists. In Egypt, two top stars, Amr Diab and Mohamed Salah, are being slammed “for appearing in a controversial Pepsi advertisement,” intensifying calls for a boycott of the “Israel-friendly” company.

“Coca-Cola takes a hit after dishonest pro-Palestinian ad falls flat,” World Israel News, June 18, 2024:

The soft drink giant Coca-Cola has come under fire after the company debuted an advertisement which critics say is misleading at best, if not outright dishonest – in addition to angering supporters of Israel worldwide.

Following the October 7th invasion of Israel and the subsequent war between the Jewish state and the Hamas terror organization, Coca-Cola has faced growing calls for boycotts in Muslim-majority countries around the world, with anti-Israel activists citing the company’s operations in Israel.

In an effort to curtail further losses, Coca-Cola has launched local advertising campaigns in a number of predominantly Muslim markets, including a 60-second video commercial run in Bangladesh, where local media has reported a 23% decline in Coca-Cola sales since October 7th….

Erdogan’s Litany of False Accusations Against Israel

Backing Hamas to the hilt.

After the failed coup attempt in July 2016 by a faction within the armed forces organized as the Peace at Home Council, that was opposed to Erdogan’s undermining of the secularism that Ataturk had promoted, and disturbed, too, by his determination to “re-islamize” Turkey, Erdogan came down hard on those whom he inaccurately described as followers of Fethulleh Gulen, an opponent of Erdogan’s dictatorial ways who lives in Pennsylvania. There were mass arrests, including those of more than 10,000 soldiers and 2,745 judges, charged with being affiliated with the coup attempt. In addition, 15,000 education staff in public institutions were also fired, and the licenses of 21,000 teachers working at private institutions were revoked — all because they supposedly supported Gülen. More than 77,000 people have been arrested and over 160,000 fired from their jobs, on reports of connections to Gulen. Among the professionals who lost their jobs were university rectors and professors, lawyers, judges, and journalists. Turkey has now jailed more journalists than any other country in the world. So much for Erdogan’s respect for civil liberties.

Erdogan accuses Israel of “war crimes.” Is this correct? Israel is making colossal efforts to always minimize civilian casualties. It does this mainly through an elaborate system of warning civilians to leave areas about to be targeted by the IDF. In Gaza, to this end, the IDF has so far dropped 14 million leaflets, made two million robocalls, and 26,000 personal calls, as well as using the “knock-on-the-roof” technique. And these mass warnings have worked so well to keep the all-important civilian-to-combatant ratio as of early March, with 30,000 Gazans killed, according to Hamas itself — about 15,000 of that figure were, according to the IDF, combatants. That means the ratio of civilians to combatant deaths is 1:1, an unheard-of number. The UN has said that in all wars since World War II, the average civilian-to-combatant ratio is 9:1. In Afghanistan, the British and Americans managed to get that ratio down to 4:1. In Iraq, the Americans did even better, killing three civilians for every combatant. But no army in the world has done what Israel has achieved in Gaza: a civilian-to-combatant ratio of 1:1. No wonder that the commander of the British forces in Afghanistan, Colonel Richard Kemp, has stated that “the IDF is the most moral army in the world” and John Spencer, head of the Department of Urban Warfare at West Point, has described the IDF in similar terms, noting that Israel has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in the history of war.”

In Erdogan’s bizarre view, Israel is “behind the terrorist organizations in northern Syria and Iraq.” If he is talking about ISIS, that is dedicated to the destruction of Israel and of the entire world of Infidels, he makes no sense. Why would Israel support Islamic fanatics dedicated to its destruction? If he means the Kurds who live in Syria and Iraq, and whose continued presence and supposed threat to Turkey render Erdogan hysterical, he is again off-base. Israel sympathizes with the Kurds, but has not sent military aid to its militias in Iraq since just after the Gulf War in 1990. It has sent some humanitarian aid to Kurds in Syria — after the Americans left, leaving a handful of soldiers, in 2019. And the Kurdish groups in both Iraq and Syria are not “terrorist organizations,” as Erdogan claims; they do not attack civilians to sow terror. Besides, Erdogan’s indignation over “terrorist organizations” is hard to take, since he has given Turkish citizenship and passports, and provided refuge to many dozens of Hamas’ senior echelon. And in his latest speech in Istanbul, he made clear that he, and Turkey, support Hamas to the hilt: “No one can make us qualify Hamas as a terrorist organization." Turkey is a country that speaks openly with Hamas leaders and firmly backs them.”

So Turkey “firmly backs” Hamas, which is listed as a terror organization by the US, Israel, the UK, the European Union, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries. And let’s not forget Erdogan’s prediction that there may be a future war between the Crescent and the Cross, leaving no doubt as to which side he would be on. Indeed, he sees himself as the natural leader of the forces of Islam.

NATO is supposed to be a military alliance of democratic and Western countries that share a common civilization. It cannot continue to tolerate among its members a country that is led by a despot who backs Hamas to the hilt, and sees himself, in a future war, as the leader of the Muslims against the “Christian” countries. It’s time that NATO booted Turkey out of this quintessentially Western alliance, showing the door, too, to Turkey’s grobianistic ruler, the anti-Semitic Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
