Donald Trump Meets, Prays With Religious Leaders in Trump Tower
breitbart ^ | 9/29/2015 | Katie McHugh

Current GOP primary frontrunner Donald Trump met with forty different religious leaders in Trump Tower on Monday to pray, and to reaffirm his support for Israel and for Christians under attack by the Left. Pastor Darrell Scott was impressed with Trump, telling The Brody File that Trump listened attentively while nodding his head, “humbly” accepting criticisms from leaders asking him to tone down his rhetoric. “He has a very high regard and a very deep respect for men and woman of the cloth,” Scott said. Black leaders told Trump they felt he hadn’t connected with black voters. Trump cited polls highlighting black support but ultimately agreed with them. “I think Donald Trump changed the opinions of the African-American pastors that were in the room. They saw a side of him outside of the media depiction, and that they would give strong consideration in regards to supporting his candidacy,” Scott said.

Scott’s observations echoed that of CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Javier Palomarez. “It’s kind of interesting, the dichotomy between the private Donald Trump and the public Donald Trump. He listened a lot more than he spoke. He never once interrupted me,” Palomarez told CNN: At one point, Palomarez said Trump joked that “he didn’t need the Hispanic vote” as he referenced his high poll numbers. “But I think we both know that he’s recognized that in fact, he does need the Hispanic vote,” Palomarez added. As Breitbart News has noted, Trump is already campaigning for the general election, amassing a broad base of support by meeting with and listening to diverse different voter blocs. Trump earlier vowed to protect American Christians’ religious liberty, declaring “I’m one of you!”

I get you. But I do believe Trump respects religious institutions and would never denigrate and discriminate against Christians as Obama does now. That counts for something.

The president is not intended to be the First Pastor. After all, W was the most humble person ever to be president and a God fearing man. That earned him nothing at this site, so don't be so arrogant.

Merely a cynical opinion. I don’t know and you don’t know, but God does know. Any more than that, and you are in the realm of gossips.

Oh, the Pharisees always come out when it isn’t “their” candidate to insist that they know the heart of others.

I suspect Trump's relationship with God is about three months old.

With all the love Trump has for himself, I don't know if he can squeeze Jesus in. But I do know the aborted unborn in heaven root and cheer for Bobby Jindal!

There are many people in Trumps’ family who can document that. Get real.

God can do something with someone who respects the Bible.

Stockpilin’ them is better than pi$$ing on them the way Obama does.

If Trump is elected, and it turns out he is faking Christianity just to get elected, then may the Creator of the Universe, Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, deal with him EVER SO SEVERELY.

I'm going to hide and watch, because... I'll say it: HE'S FAKING IT.

and how many people are going to be fooled by this “theater” ?

people who are truly filled with God’s Spirit won’t be.

Because so many of those "people who are truly filled with God’s Spirit" are so damn sanctimonious and holier than ....well everyone else, that they hold the keys to what's in every other man's heart and will not unlock the Kingdom of Heaven (or any facsimile thereof) to anyone they deem as unclean/unfit/unholy, no matter what God may have to say about it.

Some "Christians" remind me of the story about a guy who moved to a new town and found himself shunned by the church he tried to attend because he "just didn't fit". He was praying one night about how he wanted to go to church but the folks there just wouldn't let him in the door. God actually spoke to him and said, "Don't despair, my beloved son. They won't let Me in either"......
