Religious Right activist “Coach” Dave Daubenmire declared on his “Pass The Salt Live” webcast that America needs “a more violent Christianity.” He cited President Trump and Greg Gianforte as examples of violent men who are properly “walking in authority.”
“The only thing that is going to save Western civilization is a more aggressive, a more violent Christianity,” he said.
Playing a clip of Trump shoving aside the prime minister of Montenegro at a recent NATO summit so that he could stand in front of the group of assembled leaders, Daubenmire heaped praise on Trump for showing that “he is large and in charge.”
“Look at him,” Daubenmire said gleefully while watching the clip. “They’re all little puppies, ain’t nobody barking at him … He’s walking in authority. He walked to the front and center and they all know it, too, man. He just spanked them all.”
Trump’s behavior is an example for the church, Daubenmire said. “The Lord is showing us a picture of the authority we should be walking in.”
Daubenmire then cited Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte’s “assault” on a reporter the day before he won a special election in Montana as another example for the church.
“People are sick and tired of it,” he said. “They’re saying, ‘Yes, a fighter! Go, dude, go!’…”
“That should be the heart cry of Christian men,” Daubenmire said.
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” Matthew 11:12
While Daubenmire misrepresents the text from Matthew, the resurrection of Christian violence is something Jesus predicted would happen in the last days.
“…The time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.” John 16:2

Friday June 2nd, 2017 at 02:24 PMFirst of All, see it for your own eyes What Trump Did…. before you jump on the bandwagon. The Media is saying Trump shoved.

The mainstream media? What is the definition of media? intermediate agency, mediator, plural of medium: one who believes in the ability to communicate with dead via a medium. Becareful on what is being said on the TeleCast. News Cast. Tele – far, off over distance, Cast- as in casting a spell with words. Watch the actual occurrence between Trump and the gentleman in the above video, and leave the News Casters on the Tele Vision.
In 2012 a long standing federal law which made it illegal for the US state department to share government made media intended for foreighn audiences, was repealed. (Smith-Mundst Act) So now the Tele Casters and their Programming is propagandizing you.
