Hell hath no fury like red faced politicians caught in their sin and who are being forced to hear they will receive the righteous wrath of God.
This from westernjournal.com.
Meet Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel, a church in Chino Hills, California. Pastor Hibbs is a theological and political conservative, as is apparent from his X feed, and is the author of the recently released Living in the Daze of Deception: How to Discern Truth from Culture’s Lies.
Hibbs was invited by House Speaker Mike Johnson to give the invocation as the guest chaplain in the House of Representatives on Jan. 30. His prayer called upon God:
[To] hear my cry in this hour of great need that we might be humbly blessed before You in repentance of our national sins.
Although in no way subtle, Hibbs’ message “flew under the radar for the better part of the month of February” when finally, a letter was sent to the Speaker of the House accusing Hibbs of being “an ill-qualified hate preacher” who was pushing a “Christian nationalist agenda.”
The Roll Call of 26 House communists/globalists included the usual list of thin-skinned hypocritical provocateurs who had linked the calls for “repentance of our national sins” and the need for “holy fear” to “allusions to the militant and fanatical agenda he preaches about the LGBTQ community, Jews, [moslems], and anyone who conflicts with his ‘biblical worldview.’”
Rep. Jared Huffman of California, author of the letter and the one who calls himself a “nonreligious humanist” and “self-identifies” as an atheist according to The Washington Times, told Roll Call:
After we picked our jaws up off the floor upon learning that this hate preacher had been allowed to give a guest invocation, I think many of us decided we need to start calling this out.
In the letter, the communists/globalists accused Speaker Johnson of not following protocol in various ways, including acting as sponsor to Hibbs even though Hibbs is not from his congressional district. Johnson represents a district in Louisiana.
Furthermore, they claimed Hibbs was:
[A] radical Christian Nationalist who helped fuel the January 6th insurrection and [who] has a long record of hateful vitriol toward non-Christians, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ community.
Further, the letter stated:
As if spreading election lies and providing religious support and cover for the January 6th insurrection was not enough to disqualify Hibbs from being a Guest Chaplain, Hibbs also has a hateful and divisive public record on civil and human rights.
When his opening prayer invoked ‘holy fear’ and ‘repentance’ for ‘national sins,’ these were allusions to the militant and fanatical agenda he preaches about the LGBTQ+ community, Jews, [moslems], and anyone who conflicts with his ‘biblical worldview.’
NOTE: The prayer in full does nothing of the sort.
Hibbs may have irked a few in the chamber by noting they would be judged by the standards of the Bible. And he called for “repentance of national sins”—but the Bible teaches we are all sinners—communists/globalists, Republicans, and RINOs alike.
As The Washington Times noted:
Hibbs has been targeted for years by LGBTQ+ activists and media for his high-profile opposition to gay marriage and transgenderism.
As for the supposed hatred of “Jews, [moslems], and anyone who conflicts with his ‘biblical worldview,'” most of the examples Huffman cited in his letter are two- or three-word out-of-context quotes linked to out-of-context articles or clips by supposedly unbiased arbiters like Media Matters for America or the social media account Right Wing Watch.
The letter also demanded Speaker Johnson:
[P]lease explain why the Chaplaincy has continued to prevent Members from sponsoring certain fully qualified Guest Chaplains such as Representative Mark Pocan’s constituent, Nontheistic Chaplain Dan Barker.
NOTE: Mr. Barker is a “nontheistic chaplain”—“an evident contradiction in terms akin to ‘jumbo shrimp'” and is the head of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the litigious anti-Christian troll group.
Furthermore:
[T]he idea that the individual being invited to be guest chaplain must be in the district of the invitee is an awfully fungible one, especially when one considers that, according to the Times, as recently as Nov. 9, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California invited Aram I. Catholicos of the Armenian Apostolic Church, to give the invocation. Aram lives in Antelias, Lebanon.
Aram’s prayer, along with other daily prayers in the House and Senate, can be found here.
And, as for the connection with Jan. 6 or “Christian nationalism” aside from more out-of-context quotes, Hibbs told the Times:
[H]e would challenge Huffman ‘to produce any connection I have with Jan. 6, because I do take that as a slanderous statement when in reality, I had nothing to do with it.’
Final thought: Speaker Johnson may not be fully appreciated by Conservatism, but I for one appreciate having him screw with the Left.
