President Donald Trump’s personal spiritual advisor Paula White has tried to explain her sermon earlier this month, calling on Satanic pregnancies to miscarry.
She was not clear in her sermon whether she believed the devil himself was impregnating individuals, or whether a person’s sinful life made them “Satanic.”
In her sermon, White asked Jesus to cause certain pregnancies she described as “Satanic” to miscarry, to prevent them from carrying out “any plan of destruction, any plan of harm.”
“We command all satanic pregnancies to miscarry right now,” she said earlier this month.
Because of the backlash to her sermon, White attempted an explanation on Twitter Sunday morning.
“I don’t normally respond but clearly this has been taken out of context. I was praying Eph 6:12 that we wrestle not against flesh and blood.”
Pastor White says her words were meant to be taken metaphorically — but we don’t see how that is true, there’s no indication from her sermon that was the message she intended.
She still hasn’t explained what a “Satanic” pregnancy is, so that remains a mystery.
Ephesians 6:12 is part of a larger portion of Ephesians chapter 6, that discusses the Armor of God. But it doesn’t mention Satanic pregnancies, and only refers to the devil/Satan once, telling followers to “put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes,” according to the New International Version of the Bible.
