    I've never heard him say that.

    A lot of people few it as exposing the media for out right lying which I get, but if you're a pastor hosting an event, this should be allowed in your church.

    There has been some controversy with him and 'dual covenant' theology. Not sure if it's a misunderstanding or he actually believes in it.

    That's it. Dual covenant. There are videos out there somewhere where in essence he states the Jews today are under a different covenant and they don't need to be proselytized to Christianity.

    I'm neither fan nor foe of JHM. Never really followed him, but I do recall when this big controversy arose.

    Texas pastor apologizes for event at church where 'let's go Brandon' chant was heard
    Pastor at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio welcomed the crowd but now says, 'it was not appropriate to allow this event at our church'

    Texas pastor Matt Hagee issued an apology and said he properly did not vet the organizers of a political event held at the church building, which concluded with attendees chanting, "Let's go Brandon" — an idiom insulting President Biden.

    Cornerstone Church, a nondenominational congregation in San Antonio, received criticism on social media last week for hosting a right-wing political event called the ReAwaken America tour organized by Clay Clark of the "Thrivetime Show" podcast that included speakers such as former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Roger Stone, according to a flyer for the sold-out event.

    Hagee, who welcomed the crowd, now say "it was not appropriate to allow this event at our church."

    "Last week I allowed an event to be held at Cornerstone Church by an outside organization. Regrettably, the organization was not properly vetted," Hagee said in a Thursday statement. "The Church is not associated with this organization and does not endorse their views."

    The pastor added that he "was invited to welcome the crowd where I thanked veterans for their service and thanked the crowd for their commitment to their faith."

    "I deeply regret, and ask forgiveness, for what took place in the Cornerstone sanctuary as a result of my oversight," he said. "In the future, Cornerstone Church will ensure that organizations using our facility are an appropriate reflection of our mission and vision."

    Speakers apparently made false claims about the COVID-19 vaccine and said the U.S. should only have one religion, according to local news outlet MySanAntonio.com.

    The event received blowback from left-leaning pundits and other local religious leaders. Commentator Lindi Li said in a Nov. 14 tweet that the "church should be taxed" if it hosts political events.

    Rev. Dr. Chuck Currie of Oregon said in a Nov. 14 tweet that "any church engaging in the white Christian nationalism that John Hagee's Cornerstone Church does has long forsaken the teachings of Jesus, the Prince of Peace."...






    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    Now there's a hypocritical idea. I bet she's never said that about political rallies in black churches which occur quite frequently. But then those usually are for the left.

    That's why tax exempt status is safe for a while yet.
