The messages in Christian houses of worship on the first weekend since the presidential election were as divided as the country's voters. Religious leaders largely called for peace and unification, even as some bemoaned the result and others celebrated.

President-elect Joe Biden leaves after mass at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Catholic Church, Sunday, Nov. 8, 2020, in Wilmington, Del.

He offered an exultant message of political change to parishioners, saying the election provides the catalyst “to begin to celebrate a new era.” “Something’s wrong when it doesn’t take a lot of effort to fill the streets with protesters, but you have to beg and plead to fill a church with prayer warriors. Something’s wrong when the word of God is censored as hate speech and public officials can blatantly lie and be called servants. Something’s wrong when we can murder unborn children and call it health care,” Hagee said in the livestreamed service.

AP you're complicit in fraud. The whole world knows! What a great fall for the AP. Now forever known among the ranks of FAKE NEWS.

Jesus is love and forgiveness not hate and division. It’s simple but not easy. When you feel anger and hate welling up you drive it out. This is what being a Christian is about. Oh, and God is not on the side of any politician, country, mega pastor- to claim such is a blasphemy.

Those for murdering unborn babies and those against. Disgusting.

My church prays for every single LEADER in our Country and around the World every Sunday so they can lead with wisdom and honesty. ❤️🙏🏾💙

People should read their bibles! Duty of Man Ecclesiastes 12:13 Commandments Matthew 22:37 Why we love John 3:16 Things God Hate Proverbs 6:16-19 Not abortion; Pride!!! You don’t want anyone telling you how to live your life; so don’t try to tell them how to live theirs. YHWH🙏

Hypocrites - allow people to go to church! My parents must pre register to “be allowed” to go to church! Limited capacity is bs. Yet huge crowds for Biden or protesters looting or massive funerals for criminals is permitted. SO STUPID. Americans are not that dumb.

Remember, thrir Jesus was not executed by the unholies. He was executed by the self-righteous, law & order religious folks.

The New Testament of trump the Christ people are laughable. The Golden Calf cult is a mockery to all religions.

Highly dangerous. Abduction everything by our very own police and judges. GD'S

MAJOR CORDUPTION

Brcausevwe havev17 churches assembled with police murdering me

They are fulfilling false prophesy. Persecuting me and my mobile revelationbs says... I'm the prophet if revelations suffering PERSECUTION bleeding 180 miles

America has to heal, put away your guns, stop the rioting, lower the rhetoric. People we have to get along, for us as a Nation to move forward.

And AP Is becoming just as biased & CORRUPT!! WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND TRANSPARENCY!!

In America, you mean? Elsewhere, no body cares.....

We, 71 million voters, will treat biden the same way the democrats and the democrat propaganda media treated trump. There are consequences for the hate, cruelty, and spite you have spewed these past years. We do not play nice now that you won. gokickrocksandpoundsand

Is biden visting his voters again?

Some celebrated and some bemoaned. What ripping news reporting by !!

The bad Christians own the GOP

The US Christian right is as rabid as they come. If Christ reappeared today with His messages of the past: * 'To give and not to count the cost' [Loyola] * 'To the poor He gave many good things, the rich He sent empty away' [Magnificat] He would be despised as a socialist.

238,000 Families, friends, neighbors....are gone because Republicans lied. Not just 1...they all did. They mocked everyone we lost and everyone fighting Covid19 openly in their speech and actions. Time to win 2 Senate seats in Georgia America

ALERT Good Christian Patriots-- Our man Joe went to church this morning...and your man went Golfing...for the 2nd day in a row!!!

And these places are all still tax exempt. Time for that to end.

Disappointing and yet another reason people today shun churches & organized religion. Jesus’ message is to love your neighbor like yourself. Not just love those like you or those who think as you do. That’s not how He loves. He loves us all.

Why wouldnt any church or denomination speak up against the trump? Nothing, absolutely nothing he does is christianlike, and he goes against almost all their teachings.

An UnGodly Abortionist Who Murders The Lives God Has Created With No Remorse. How Could This Be Good For Christian’s and America’s, When A Anti- Christian Is In Office ?

Biden went to church today. Trump golfed at one of his debt ridden properties. That says it all! Wake up America!

The last 4 years have decimated Christianity. Pastor Kenneth Copeland seems to be reprising the madness of Joaquin Phoenix in the Joker here. This display seems deeply, horrifyingly, satanic.

It seems the evangelicals prefer someone who swings a golf club on Sunday rather than someone who actually visits a church. What am I missing in their logic? JoeBiden realDonaldTrump

Biden campaigning to his constituents...the dead

Jerry Falwell Junior is suggesting we all go home and watch somebody hump our wives and think about Donald!

Tax political churches.

Imagine thinking a good man who’s gone to church his whole life will hurt Christianity more than a self-centered hedonist who doesn’t even know what’s in the Bible.

Another proof that Trump's leadership survives on sowing divisions, even amongst 'his fellow' Christians, he still managed to divide them.

Erm, you might wanna revise this story

Is Biden thanking his voters in this picture?

Baby Jesus 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ the very reason why people frown upon Christianity - y’all frauds. Of all people - pastors, bishops, etc. know the Lord does not operate like this & y’all leading his people wrong ur day coming wrathofGod

TaxTheChurch

I have to question some of those 'Christian' houses whom prop Trump up as our moral compass. jesuswept

I saw some idiot post today that the left is going to try to ban churches. People are seriously so stupid.

But the fact is that the only ones interfering in the US election was the GOP with voter suppression, GOP Gerrymandering and Trump doing his best to interfere in the US postal service. The GOP are the bullies who blame their victims for doing what they do...

The Democrats have never accepted the results of the last election; NOW THEY WANY UNITY

Christian churches that back Trump cannot rightly claim to be Christian.

It'll be peaceful, Republicans handle these things waayyyyy better than dems.

I mean no cities burned. No riding no looting.

Hih. In our services today we discussed the source of true happiness, even amid the trials we face. That source is Jesus Christ. And none of our discussions included politics.

Celebrated what? The continuation of abortion?

You can’t be a Christian and support trump lol

i got top shelf buds that helps in cancer, face treatment, weight,poor appetite, seizure,nerve pains , loss anxiety,and mostly getting high .. this shit is medicinal. Link me if your interested hmu for menu :

I've seen far too many 'good Christians' keep spreading Trump's vile rhetoric and keep reposting factless copy and pastes. All this while bowing to their 'god'.

Churches who want to be in politics need to be taxed like the rest of us or shut up. Religion has no business in our government and it’s high time it takes a hike.

What happened to the whole “No matter who wins Jesus is king” stuff?

Fuck megachurches and anybody who attends them

Remember when the Church mixed religion and politics and Jesus trashed their house? Good times!

Who cares?

Jesus would be a democrat.

Those churches have no business talking politics.

You all belong to God, whether you are a believer or not. You have a God who loves you all.

Another reason the separation of church and state is good thing

They aren't supposed to be political at all. Maybe we should start reviewing tax exemption.

This should immediately spark the discussion on taxing religious entities.

could you note that the imPOTUS went golfing?

Fake president.
