Donald Trump led a recoil from leading Christians during his appointment of a controversial televangelist to the White House.
The president signed an executive order on Friday to open a Faith Office of the White House to be led by Paula White, his old spiritual adviser.
Trump founded a similar office in the White House during his first term and regularly consulted with a tight group of evangelical advisers.
But the movement led to anger of Christian leaders who believe that White, a pastor of Megachurch from Florida, preaches an interpretation of the gospel that critics claim that the most vulnerable is used.
White teaches followers that God will reward them if they donate to her church, go so far to suggest precise amounts of more than a thousand dollars to guarantee their 'salvation'.
“This is a horror,” wrote the Christian motivating speaker Scott Ross on X.
“She preaches the heresies of the Word of Faith and Welfare Gospel, both completely against authentic Christianity. Even worse, she has lived a life of scandal, with several men, who run the gospel for winning. '
The doctrine of the minister, who is married to Rockstar and Journey Lead singer Jonathan Cain, nevertheless replied on Trump who first contacted her by telephone in 2002 after watching one of her TV programs.

The White House praised Wit as someone fighting for religious freedom and humanitarian rights, and argues for the voiceless' in a press release in which her agreement was announced.
Trump said on Thursday that he would set up the office of the White House and the Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead a Task Force to eradicate what he called anti-Christian bias within the federal government.
But the recoil came online thickly and quickly when the shock waves sent through the Christian base of Trump.
Ross, an orthodox Christian leader based in Texas, went so far that he claimed that the appointment of White de Trump could have done 'worst and dangerous thing'.
“Lord, have grace with our country and this government,” he wrote on X.
Christian blogger Chris Hohnholz wrote on X: 'Not every choice he makes will be a home run, we understand that. But this? This is a train wreck. @realdonaldtrump, sir, you have to turn the course over this as quickly as possible. Paula White is not only not biblical qualified to be a pastor, she is a false teacher who leads people to hell. Don't do this, sir. '
A Maga fan called Texasclare on X wrote: “True evangelicals who have Trump's ear (like @franklin_graham) must get him from the” Pastor “Paula White Train.”
John Mason, host of the Living God's Truth Podcast, stated: “Although President Trump enforces laws in line with our values, this does not mean that he has an idea what Biblical Christianity is or why it matters.
Many Christians, including many conservatives and supporters of Donald Trump, are now critical that White will play a role in the White House
“Paula White is a well -known heretic and well -known false teacher who does not take the gospel of Jesus Christ into account.”
Jon Root, a conservative YouTuber, explained: 'This is the worst decision that President Trump has made since his appointment … Paula White is a heretic who takes the welfare gospel. Moreover, according to the Bible, women should not be pastors. '
Wit distanced itself from the welfare gospel in a 2017 statement that said it would reject any theology that would not confirm the whole of scriptural doctrine about God's presence and blessing in suffering as in times of prosperity. '
This despite a Easter discussion on television in 2016 in which she asked her municipality for a specific donation to demonstrate their confidence in the resurrection.
'There is someone with whom God speaks to click on that donation button by minimizing the screen. And when you do $ 1,144. It is not often that I ask very specifically, but God has instructed me and I want you to hear it. This is not for everyone, but this is for someone. When you sow that $ 1,144 based on John 11:44, I believe for the resurrection life, “White said.
The predecessor begged her herd: “So click on and minimize that screen and now sow your miraculous seed when we are in faith together and I believe God for your miracle.”
The welfare gospel has been rejected by almost all Christian scholars and theologians, including evangelicals, as unbiblical and hereticals.
Southern Baptist theologian Russell D. Moore told the Washington Post in 2017 that “Paula is a Charlatan and is recognized by every Orthodox Christian as a heretic, of any tribe.”
Trump said on Thursday that he would set up the White House Faith Office and lead the attorney-General Pam Bondi to lead a Task Force to eradicate what he called anti-Christian bias within the federal government
Trump gave comments on the National Prayer Breakfast in Capitol, USA and used his speech to call 'unity', and told legislators that his relationship with religion was 'changed' after a few failed murder attempts last year.
During a second prayer breakfast in Washington, Trump hit a more partisan tone, took a victory round for the rid of 'waking up the past two weeks and announced steps to protect Christians against what he said was religious discrimination.
“The mission of this task force will be to immediately stop all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including the Doj, which was absolutely terrible, the IRS, the FBI and other agencies,” Trump said.
The president said he will sign an executive order on Thursday to have Bondi lead the Task Force and sworn that his attorney-general would work to fully prosecute and to move into our society in our society and to move him to the rights of Christians to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide. '
The president did not quote specific examples of anti-Christian bias during his comments, but has previously claimed that the Biden government used the federal government to focus Christians specifically.
The Biden administration announced a strategy in December for combating anti-Muslim and anti-Arabian intolerance and a similar plan to combat anti-Semitism in September 2023.
The actions announced on Thursday could ask constitutional questions about the separation of church and state, with the first amendment of the American Constitution that limits the approval of religion.
Trump, who has become the actual figurehead of conservative American Christianity, has repeatedly called in a religious anointing since he survived a murder attempt last year. “Many people told me that God has saved my life for a reason,” Trump told supporters for events throughout the country.
In the last three election cycles, white evangelical Christian voters, who form a crucial piece of the Republican base, supported Trump.
He has embraced the conservative Christian worldview and the policy that speaks about the fear of the block about changing gender standards and family patterns.
Trump founded a similar office in the White House during his first term and regularly consulted with a tight group of evangelical advisers.
The president also said that he would create a new committee for religious freedom and criticized the Biden government for the 'persecution' of believers for the prosecution of proponents of anti-abortion.
“If we don't have religious freedom, then we don't have a free country,” he said.
“I was appointed for the White House Faith Office in Leiden,” White wrote in a statement to X.
“The office will collaborate with Attorney General Pam Bondi to combat discrimination of Christians in federal institutions and to ensure that religious freedoms are maintained throughout the country!”
She previously served a consultant from President Trump in the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative, as well as the chairman of his Evangelical Advisory Council.
