Evangelical Pastor Rains Holy Hell On Trump Bible: ‘Blasphemous’ And ‘Disgusting’

Former President Donald Trump’s “God Bless the USA Bible” has been condemned as “disgusting,” “blasphemous,” and a “cheap ploy” by evangelical Christian pastor Loran Livingston.

Livingston ripped Trump’s $59.99 Bible during a sermon at the Central Church of North Carolina in Charlotte on April 14. Footage of his comments recently went viral on social media.

Livingston also made anti-LGBTQ+ comments, described abortion as “murder” and the “premeditated termination of innocent human life” and slammed people who “get politics mixed up with church” in the lead-up to his attack on the Trump-endorsed holy book.

Then he said, “When you don’t read and pray. You say, ‘Wow, there’s a Bible out now that includes the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, isn’t that wonderful?’ No, no. It’s disgusting. It’s blasphemous. It’s a ploy.”

“Are you kidding me? Some of you are so encouraged by that. Let me tell you something. The gospel is not an American gospel. It is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ,” Livingston added. He didn’t name the Trump Bible explicitly, but his references were apparent.

Watch Livingston’s full comments from the 68-minute mark here:



The Trump-promoted Bible combines the text of the King James Bible with the Pledge of Allegiance, the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and handwritten lyrics to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.”

Trump, who is the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, began hawking the book back in March, garnering widespread mockery and brutal reminders of his less-than-religious lifestyle.

Evangelicals proved pivotal to Trump for his 2016 election victory over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Leading figures in the movement have since claimed, however, to have cut ties with the four-times-indicted ex-POTUS.

Sadly, though he went off on donny’s bible, he’ll likely pull the lever for the creep. As will many of the seals that clapped from the pews. The one thing evangelicals love more than God is hypocrisy.

Did I get this right? Livingston just injected his personal opinion on politically charged LBGT and abortion issues while blasting trump on hawking bibles?

Religion….God works in mysterious ways.

I think this just goes to show that not all religious people or religious leaders think alike.

Or not at all.

I may need help with this one, paraphrased , “do unto the least of my brothers, as you would do unto me”

So how do we exactly explain slavery, segregation etc.?

Do we need god to bless tUSA because of righteousness, or maybe to make amends? I just assumed religion made it easy.

Nah Religion is used to control US.

This was still an honest question, I see republicans leaning into Christianity, like a crutch.

Can I get 3 representative examples, of Jesus?

The tooth-fairy, easter-bunny, and Santa Claus… None exist… well historically maybe a version of Santa.

I give you, Mohammad Buddha Malcom x. All children of god. After some thought I will also add Native American, Tecumseh.
