Messages from @POTUS45's Campaign reveal His #Hypocrisy (He Regards Religion as 'Nothing but Mindless Voters') #Hypocrite #Hypocritical #Hypocrites #Hypocrisies
Putting my cellphone-number on an online-survey I took, I got put on a list of numbers his campaign could send mass-messages to. I thought it was mainly for 'tour-date announcements' (so that I could be one of the first ones to hear about his upcoming MAGA/KAG-rallies ... not 'to go to them,' but more 'to help people steer clear of them').
And–while maybe I've heard about one-or-two of those by mass-message–the main reason he sends messages out is to seek the favor of his god—NOT the God of the Christians, but their False god ... MONEY
He claims to be 'bringing Christianity back to America' (I don't know if he ever claimed that, but he did say "we're gonna say Merry Christmas, not 'Happy Holidays'") ...
But when he sends out messages asking for help against the oncoming impeachment, does he ask us to pray for him? No! Does he ask us to trust that God will shelter him from this storm? No! He asks for money—donations to his various support-funds, purchases from his online store ... money-money-money ☭
'That word' (below-hyperlinked to one of the surveys that might've gotten me onto the texting-list) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word "Hypocrisy" is built on words that mean "|Under (Hypo-) + to Sieve, |Sift (Decide, Discriminate, Distinguish)" (Gradually |Separate, Answer a Fellow Actor On-|Stage, Play a Part)—influenced by words that mean "Jealous, Coward, Dissembling."
"Hypocrisy" today basically means 'claiming to believe one thing but behaving as though another thing is true.' Before I look up the etymology & quote it above, I'll tell you what I've heard (which may end up being 'just a confirmation of the above'): calling someone 'a hypocrite' originally carried the same meaning as calling today's politicians "just actors on TV and -video, just thespians portraying characters in the theater-drama we like to pretend is actually governing citizens, not the real-life people whose actions control real-life business."
So when Lord Jesus called the priests-&-Pharisees "hypocrites," He was informing the church-goers (or 'temple-goers') that the priests-&-Pharisees were 'talking to Our Heavenly Father' the same way President Donald J. Trump 'controls all the fortune & poverty of the United States of America' (both the same way a magician 'makes a rabbit appear in the hat').
Jesus gave us authority to Disciple (I interpret that as 'behave according to the way He behaved'). And do you know who He accused of the greatest sin? Not 'the popular entertainers (who–whether-or-not they believed what they were saying–weren't claiming to be anything but storytellers),' and not the criminals & other well-known "sinners"; but the church-leaders!
Why them? The name He called them–Hypocrites–says it all. And the root of that word tells me that 'what He's saying' is–not 'that they were lying–but more "that they were part of a lie—they were just up there 'singing a song' (responding to fellow actors on stage), not 'truly communicating to Our Heavenly Father (who hears what we say in secret)'."
It's fine that church-leaders are only 'putting on a show.' It's just that they deceive church-goers into thinking that God only hears announcements from the worldwide stage & -doesn't hear their secret prayers.
