Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump reportedly hired televangelist Frank Amedia, pastor of Touch Heaven Ministries, to be his campaign's "liaison for Christian policy." However, Amedia's past record has caught people's attention and many are apparently not impressed. In a 2010 report by the Associated Press, Amedia said his church would stop helping earthquake victims in Haiti if they didn't stop practising voodoo. "There's absolutely a heightened spiritual conflict between Christianity and Voodoo since the quake," Amedia said. "We would give food to the needy in the short term, but if they refused to give up Voodoo, I'm not sure we would continue to support them in the long term because we wouldn't want to perpetuate that practice. We equate it with witchcraft, which is contrary to the Gospel." In 2011, a tsunami hit Japan and Amedia claimed in 2012 that he prevented the disaster from reaching Hawaii as his daughter was there at the time. He narrated that he stood at the edge of his bed and said, "In the name of Jesus, I declare that tsunami to stop now" and "I declare those waters to recede." He had apparently taken credit for having stopped -- or having convinced God to stop -- the raging water from reaching the island, which brought devastation to the next one instead. |
