The Greedy Pastord, George Washington And Jesus

Right Wing Watch 👀 Televangelist Kenneth Copeland Says This Nation ‘Should Be Completely, Totally Based on What George Washington Said to Jesus.’

The Christian nationalist program “FlashPoint” held a two-day “Truth and Freedom” event at Faith Life Church in New Albany, Ohio, last week.

Airing on televangelist Kenneth Copeland’s Victory Channel network, FlashPoint was launched in support of former President Donald Trump’s reelection in 2020 and has been dedicated to spreading lies about the election, disinformation, and conspiracy theories ever since.

It what seems to be becoming a theme at these live FlashPoint events, Copeland delivered a sermon filled with false Christian nationalist talking points, baselessly claiming that “the first act of Congress was to enter covenant with the Almighty God.”

“[George] Washington invoked his [inaugural] oath and covenant unto the Lord and sealed it with ‘so help me God,'” Copeland claimed:

He bowed his knee to the ground in reverence and kissed the Bible. Afterward Washington called the senators and newly elected officials to join him, and they walked arm in arm down the streets of New York City [to St. Paul’s] Chapel. There they bowed together, prayed, and dedicated this land—our beloved America—to God.

“The day that George Washington was inaugurated, this was the day covenant was invoked,” Copeland asserted. “America belonged to God Almighty.”

Copeland then went to so far as to include Washington among the Judeo-Christian patriarchs who made a covenant with God.

“Now it’s God, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob—who became Israel—Jesus, and George [Washington],” Copeland declared. “This nation, particularly to Christian people, should be completely, totally based on what George Washington said to Jesus. The first act of Congress—number one!—the first act of Congress was to enter covenant with the Almighty God based on the book of Genesis.”
