The Christian TV Show Rallying Trump Superfans with Apocalyptic Warnings

Friday, May 03, 2024

The audience of about 1,500 people waved small American flags and chanted "USA! USA! USA!" as television cameras began filming last Friday inside a Regent University ballroom.

More from the cited article...

... They had paid $60 each to attend a live taping of "FlashPoint," a national TV program that's won loyal viewers with a unique blend of pro-Trump political commentary and prophetic messages about God's divine plans for America.

Over the next three hours, the audience heard the same overarching message that "FlashPoint" broadcasts three times a week on the Victory Channel television network and various streaming platforms: The world has entered its final years. Jesus will soon return. But Christians are not meant to wait idly while evil runs rampant; they are called to occupy positions of power and influence in society. And in the short term, that means putting Donald Trump back in the White House. ...

Some questions come to mind ...

I'll start with, is this national TV program tax-exempt for religious reasons?

Imagine being so stupid you get duped by a Bronze Age goat herder myth twisted to claim a conman who is the antithesis of said Bronze Age goat herder myths will save the world from the Bronze Age goat herder myth.

Anytime you see white people with one hand in the air and their eyes closed, and they are often obese and holding a book, be very afraid.

Of that, and just about anything from Regent University.

LYD: Gene Scott was the best. "I'm gonna keep playing this song until those phones light up."

Man had some serious cred. His entertainment value was off the charts. Apparently his daughter is keeping the flame alive.

If it's a good looking woman you're referring to, that's his widow, Melissa. She was a porn star who went by Barbie Bridges before marrying Scott.

Gene Scott reportedly usually had various nude young women parading around his mansion at any given time. Melissa probably looked great sans clothes.

Evangelical Christians who think Trump was chosen by God are breathtakingly stupid.

"I watch to get the truth," said one "FlashPoint" attendee, who described a "supernatural" rush of clarity the first time she found the show while flipping channels two years ago.

"This is the only news show where you hear what Jesus thinks," said another attendee.

If you can't see the inherent idiocy in both of those comments, there is no hope for you.

When you can be made to believe in crazy ---- you can be made to do some crazy ----.

These kind of churches need to lose their tax free status for using the power of the church to meddle in politics.

She sure is a blow hard. I can't believe that anyone else takes her seriously. Oh well

Here is one of, many consider the, most prominent modern scholar of the New Testament briefly mocking the American church's claim that modern Israel is somehow the fulfillment of biblical prophesy; basically a takedown of Zionism itself:

13. Did you take Gene Scott seriously? Reverend Ike? There's some context here.

I used to when I was younger but grew to distrust him. He became just another one of those TV preachers. Only interested in your money. Like they all are.

Just like the Pro-israel people at the colleges, this is a paid crowd. Don't fall for images of crowds- it is caveman thinking.
