Not to be outdone by his predecessor, G.W. Bush, in his enthusiasm to mollify Christian Zionist supporters, Donald Trump has created the first-ever White House Faith Office. To lead this new government bureaucracy, designed specifically to target religion in America, Trump appointed his spiritual advisor Paula White.
As you may recall, the younger Bush created the Faith-Based Initiative, in which he doled out hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars that created a mechanism of using money from the federal government to fund various and sundry church programs—thus directly buying support for the politicians providing this support (as if government tax exemption is not enough) and providing a vehicle by which government can control religion to its liking. Thousands of churches have reached out their unholy hands to receive these funds from the American taxpayers.
I am reminded of a quote from Founding Father Thomas Jefferson on this subject:
That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.
Amen!
Any mixture of church and state by the state is anathema to God’s Holy Word, the U.S. Constitution and every Natural principle of Liberty upon which our country was founded. I urge readers to watch my message last Sunday (only 38 minutes long, if you can believe it) in which I address this salient subject.
Sadly, most evangelicals have lost all appreciation and respect for the Biblical teaching of a free and independent pulpit, constitutional government and the principles of Liberty. In this regard, they are as bad as the radical Left. Both groups want the federal and State governments to finance and legislate their agendas irrespective of the Natural rights and constitutional protections of those rights for all people.
Now, Trump has upped the ante on Bush’s government intrusion into the sanctuary by creating a White House Faith Office. No doubt, the churches that play ball with the Faith Office will be rewarded with all kinds of benefits from Uncle Sam. But what will happen to the churches that refuse to surrender their sanctuaries to the authority of the king?
I’m afraid those religious institutions not willing to parrot the narrative coming out of the Faith Office will face all kinds of threats, intimidation and, perhaps, even possible legal retaliation—especially regarding Trump’s narrative on Israel.
Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem are uber Christian Zionists who are on record as supporting the censorship of protests or speech of anyone who criticizes Israel—even to the point of assessing penalties of deportation and/or criminal charges by the FBI.
As with every other key administrative appointment by Donald Trump, Paula White is a radical “Christian” Zionist.
I quote from an article that appeared in an Israeli media outlet called y net news, which is giddy about Trump’s appointment of White to this key position in the U.S. government.
U.S. President Donald Trump has placed the role of religion in American governance and most likely in the shaping of foreign policy – especially when it comes to Israel – with the creation of the first-ever White House Faith Office.
Oh, wow! So, now we can expect John Hagee, Kenneth Copeland and Robert Jeffress to be running America’s foreign policy?
Rev. Paula White, a longtime spiritual adviser to Trump and one of the most influential religious figures in his previous administration, is leading the initiative.
White played a key role in strengthening ties between the president and Israel and was instrumental in pushing for the U.S. embassy’s relocation from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, among other faith-driven policies.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signaled that now, more than ever, Israel will welcome Christian political, biblical, and diplomatic support. While he did not meet with Jewish leaders—apart from a group of Jewish student leaders—Netanyahu held a 90-minute meeting with over a dozen American Evangelical leaders the Monday before his meeting with Trump, according to All Israel News.
In a recent conversation in Washington, White described Trump as a spiritual person.
That’s why Trump blasphemously uses God’s name in vain so often.
White was instrumental in crafting Trump’s policies on Israel and the Middle East, working closely with the president’s former Orthodox Jewish advisers, including Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
For several consecutive years, the Israel Allies Foundation has recognized White as one of the Top 50 Christian Allies, highlighting her deep commitment to strengthening ties between Christians and Israel.
During a visit to Israel in June 2023, White made a bold statement in an interview with this reporter, emphasizing that Christians should seek to learn from Jews rather than convert them.
She referenced the teachings of the apostle Paul, saying, “Paul made very clear that God extended his love to the Gentiles, but he did not take something from the Jews and tell us to go back and course correct or convert them. I do not want to convert Jews or send them to [live in] Israel for the rapture. The plan for salvation for the Jews is God’s.”
In addition to her humanitarian efforts, White serves as a senior leader in Israel365 Action’s Keep God’s Land program, which advocates for Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria [the West Bank].
The creation of this office is yet another indication that Trump is prioritizing the interests of his Evangelical supporters—a key voting bloc that has consistently backed him.
It also marks a significant victory for Israel’s right-wing factions, who advocate for a stronger alignment between Israeli policy and conservative, faith-driven and biblical values.
It could also signal that these values will form the foundation of a policy reinforcing the deep, historical connection between the Jewish people and the land of Israel—including Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, and even Gaza.
If you are a Christian who knows your Bible, you immediately picked up on White’s heresy:
White made a bold statement in an interview with this reporter, emphasizing that Christians should seek to learn from Jews rather than convert them.
She referenced the teachings of the apostle Paul, saying, “Paul made very clear that God extended his love to the Gentiles, but he did not take something from the Jews and tell us to go back and . . . convert them. I do not want to convert Jews. The plan for salvation for the Jews is God’s.”
This is quintessential Prosperity Theology/Christian Zionist blasphemy touted by the likes of John Hagee that Jews have a special plan of salvation with God that does not include salvation through Christ.
Hagee and White ignore what Jesus said in John 14:6:
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Again, the Israeli media publication took pride in the fact that Paula White is a close ally of the Kabbalist/Chabadist/Zionist Jew (and Trump’s son-in-law) Jared Kushner, who is one of the largest financiers of Israeli “resettlement” programs in the West Bank, aka “land theft and occupation.” Also noteworthy is that Israel considers White to be one of the top 50 Christian allies in America.
But White’s blasphemy goes well beyond her Israel heresy. Listen to any of her sermons; they are filled with blasphemy. These quotes are taken from one such sermon which was posted on the Rank Heresy X page.
Paula White:
Wherever I go, God rules.
When I walk on White House grounds, God walks on White House grounds. I had every right and authority to declare the White House as holy ground, because I was standing there, and where I stand is holy.
White conveniently ignores Exodus 3:4, 5: “And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.”
The ground was not holy because Moses was there; the ground was holy because God was there. And Moses was not God.
News flash to Paula White: There is a God; and you are not Him.
Paula White is the high priestess of false prophets.
Listen to what White says about Donald Trump:
To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.
News flash to Paula White: There is a God and Donald Trump is not Him.
White on Trump again:
Let every demonic network that has aligned itself against the calling of President Trump, let it be broken, let it be torn down in the name of Jesus.
Such blasphemy!
So, anyone who opposes Donald Trump—no matter how unconstitutional or evil his actions and policies might be—must be demonic and broken and torn down—in the name of Jesus, of course.
Trump has surrounded himself with Zionist cultists, including Paula White, who want to destroy the freedom of speech to criticize Zionism or Israel.
As I was writing this column, a report was released with President Trump announcing that Hamas has until noon Saturday to release all of the Israeli prisoners of war or “let hell break out.”
This is clearly Trump’s greenlighting Israel’s breaking the ceasefire and allowing it to use those 1,800 2,000-pound bombs that he just sent to Israel on the Palestinians in Gaza. This is obvious, as shortly after making his announcement, Benjamin Netanyahu echoed Trump’s threat almost verbatim.
And please remember that the release of the Israeli prisoners of war by Hamas was specifically defined in the three-phase ceasefire agreement negotiated by Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East envoy and signed by the U.S. and Israel. In other words, when Trump announced that Hamas must release all of its prisoners of war by Saturday noon, he was breaking his own peace plan—the peace plan that he was so braggadocious about creating when he first took office.
In committing this treachery, Trump has proven to the world (friends and enemies) that his word means absolutely NOTHING. The ramifications of Trump’s sycophantic endorsement of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people will haunt him (and America) in the attitudes and actions of the international community for the rest of his presidency.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor predicts that Trump’s greenlighting the continuation of Israel’s genocide of Gaza will result in the unification of the Arab states against the U.S. and Israel and lead to an all-out regional or even global war. He’s probably right.
Trump is using Israel’s military (with America’s bombs and missiles) to clean out that whole thing [Gaza]. That means finish the job of ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Gazan people so Trump and his billionaire buddies can build their Riviera of the Middle East and turn the Gazan coastline into another Atlantic City.
The cold-blooded inhumanity of governmental leaders (including a host of U.S. presidents and congressmen) who are eagerly willing to inflict such massive bloodshed upon mankind—for their own political and financial gain—and who exhibit such utter indifference to their victims never ceases to amaze me.
So, according to what Trump said, by this weekend, he will join Joe Biden as a War Criminal and mass murderer. How long has he been in office? Three weeks? It didn’t take long. And false prophet Paula White will be the one auctioning Trump’s genocide as a righteous cause to America’s evangelicals.
I wonder how much longer the freedom of speech, the right to protest and the right to redress Trump’s Zionist government will last with Paula White leading the White House Faith Office.
