#PastorParler Tyler Ethridge Who Allegedly Participated in the D.C. Insurrection and His Views on the Prosperity Gospel

This post is a continued deep dive into a Christian nationalist pastor who allegedly was involved in the Washington, D.C. riot of January 6, 2021. Tyler Ethridge was a firm believer of the prosperity gospel. He advocated for it and claimed that it was the way forward. Charismatics in evangelicalism are into this warped belief system. This blog has a prediction to make. It predicts that in five to ten years when this implodes that Tyler Ethridge will be an atheist. And that will be healthier than what he believes right now. 

The Coming Fracture of White American Evangelicalism Will Be Over Christian Nationalism and Donald Trump

This is a post that has been on my mind for a while. Recent developments in evangelicalism tell me its the time to compose this post. American evangelicalism is going to fracture into two camps. The cause of the split will be Donald Trump and Christian nationalism. Expect pain, division of churches and families to continue and Christian nationalism to lead to the demise of evangelicalism. Evangelicals are going to have to pick sides, and many will choose wrong and end up on the wrong side of history as many have done already.

Why did Christian nationalism flare up to such an extreme version in 2016? This post attempts to answer that question toward the end.

Ravi Zacharias on Joel Olsteen. How Could So Many Evangelicals Follow a Charlatan?

The other day I found a clip by a British ministry on YouTube featuring Ravi Zacharias. The clip was about Zacharias meeting with Joel Osteen and towards the end he mentions how can you show what is counterfeit when you don’t know what genuine is? And this comes from an evangelist who engaged in fraud for decades. Was this clip a plea for help or the conniving from a sociopath? 

When You Lose Pat Robertson…

Yesterday Lafayette Square was cleared out by tear gas so that President Trump could have a photo op in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church. Who has become a large critic of this behavior of President Trump? Its none other than Pat Robertson from his 700 Club.
