Pastors praise Trump for skipping UN panel on 'imaginary' climate crisis for 'real' problem of religious persecution
Caleb ParkeBy Caleb Parke | Fox News

Trump will skip a climate change event on the first day of the U.N. General Assembly and will instead deliver the keynote at the Global Call to Protect Religious Freedom; Pastors Tony Perkins and Robert Jeffress preview the president's historic address.

President Trump is reportedly skipping a climate change event Monday at the United Nations headquarters to give a historic speech on religious freedom and global persecution against believers.

With more than 80 percent of the world's population living in areas where religious freedom is "highly restricted," according to the State Department's International Religious Freedom Report, two pastors tell Fox News Trump's keynote address at an event called the Global Call to Protect Religious Freedom set for Monday is a major step for the faithful.

"This is the first time any leader of a nation has addressed the UN on religious persecution," Robert Jeffress told "Fox & Friends" host Ainsley Earhardt. "A third of the world is living under religious persecution...and it is a remarkable thing that this president would skip a UN climate change summit on an imaginary problem to address the very real problem of global persecution of believers."

Trump, who won the evangelical vote in 2016, is energizing his base and infuriating his enemies with the snub, said the senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas.

Jeffress added: "What president in history would have the guts to do what President Trump is doing?"

Tony Perkins, heads the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and is the president of the conservative think tank Family Research Council, said this administration has done more to advance religious liberty in the nation's foreign policy than any previous ones, hosting two ministerials to advance religious freedom with world leaders.

"This is the president kind of putting down a marker...advancing religious freedom. This is a step forward with very tangible markers in terms of protecting people of faith, and what president...is going to do is challenge these nations to ensure that, people regardless of their faith, when they publicly assemble to worship God that they don't have to do that in fear of terrorists or tyrants."

Perkins said studies show countries that embrace and protect religious freedom have greater social and economic stability, benefiting America in the long run.

Jeffress added that Trump has made this a big part of his platform since the campaign trail.

"He said religious freedom is not granted by government it is gifted to us by God, and the president believes that," Jeffress said. "The Democrats believe the great human right that transcends all others is the right to kill your own babies through abortion and the previous administration supported that for the world. ... This president says no, it's not the murder of babies that is a basic human right, it is religious liberty that is granted by our creator."

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham told "Fox & Friends" it "wouldn't surprise" her if Trump makes a surprise visit to the climate change event at the UN.

The World keep Decieving itself about Solving Climate Change .

There is No Human Solution to Climate Change..

There is Only One Solution to Climate Change 2Chronicles 7:13-14
but I don't think our Leaders will go for it.Their Brain is filled with Iniquity.


President Donald Trump has done Absolutely Great by tending to More Serious issue.

UceeGod:
Funny enough and ironically, the same people gathering to resolve the issue about climate change are part or somehow related to those who actively contribute to the worsening climate change through their companies.

And you don't see climate change as a "plague amongst my people", and the campaign as "turn away from your wicked ways?

Righteousness89:


What are u saying?

MrPresident1:


Trump was there in flesh and blood, live and direct. He was there when Greta Thunberg was speaking

budaatum:


And ignores the voice of the child!

If Donald Trump talks now he will be labelled a child abuser when the real child abusers are the ones indoctrinating and brainwashing our children with extremist left-wing propaganda in the name of saving the earth as they did to that young child.

Abbeybailey:
There's nothing funny about that. The same way right wing nuts like Trump, Micheal Knowles, Laura Ingraham, Dinesh and the other deplorables are calling a 16 year old names because she's fighting against climate change. Shameless bunch.

budaatum:


It must be hard to listen to the truth especially if little children tell it to you.

OLAADEGBU:


Didn't you see that she was reading from a script given to her? What does she know aside the propaganda used in brainwashing her? If the establishment really cared for her she would be in school studying how to be a better student not going upandan spreading the climate change agenda.

OLAADEGBU:


Where did Trump call her names? Keep listening to fake news propagandists like Abbeybailey who are yet to get over the fact that Trump won in 2016. See the tweet of what Trump said in response to the kid's speech, even though he wasn't there at the time.

budaatum:


It must be very difficult for you to think she has a brain inside her head and could possibly have written her own speech. I bet this is the first time you've heard of Greta Thunberg too

budaatum:


If you have bothered checking the evidence for climate change you'd likely not call it "propaganda". And if you understood your [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1%3A28&version=KJV]God given mission[/url], you'd probably see it includes "care for the earth your Lord God created". At least you'd see how loving the planet is loving your fellow human beings who are affected by climate change.

Abbeybailey:


You are not smart to know the hideous contest behind the hilarious tweet.

OLAADEGBU:


If you were smart you wouldn't have fallen headlong for the propaganda Obama sold you. We thank God for smart guys like President Trump who can see the real problems confronting our world today. Climate change is the least of our problems, ask any right thinking Nigerian.

budaatum:


You called her names! You said she was "brainwashed" and spreading "propaganda"!

anukulapo:


Those who understand the way of the world will see how the climate changes.

Ice age, then global warming, now it's climate change

Change is constant, na climate next level remain. Abeg....

OLAADEGBU:


Where is your proof, what did he say, did you read the last line of the OP?

Abbeybailey:


Loudmouth, your racist Lord Trump is wetting his pants as we speak . I don't even want him impeached to be candid with You, I want to humiliate him on Nov 3rd of 2020 by winning in a landslide against Taliban Trump. By the way, you don't count when the tyre hits the ground. I doubt if you are smart enough to understand that.

MrPresident1:


Apparently, he wasn't there when Turnberg gave her speech, but he was at the Summit. He made a 'surprise' appearance.

OLAADEGBU:


Climate has always been changing. The Lord has been sustaining it since Noah's Flood.

OLAADEGBU:


Have you heard the phone conversation between Trump and the Ukrainian president? Am sure the fake News lamestream media wouldn't let you know that. You guys are really becoming desperate.
