This message is serious. If (1) a candidate for elective office (2) claims “God” talks to him (3) on a regular basis about (3) political issues, we should be wary. That (4) candidate (5) is a preacher who (6) has weapons training for ppl in his church. Need a crystal ball? 1/6

Inevitably the candidate will say he carries out Orders from “God.” Ham County preacher/IN Lt Gov wannabe Micah Beckwith is the candidate just described. He’s declared his candidacy for Lt Gov in Indiana’s GOP. That nominee is chosen at the GOP State convention. 2/6

Beckwith: says he talks w/”God.” Tuesday, Aug 9 on “Mouthwash,” John Schmitz’s podcast on Facebook, Beckwith was a guest panelist on civility in politics. Beckwith said he could call ppl names because both a prophet in the Old Testament and Jesus Christ called ppl names. 3/6

Beckwith has greater latitude in political talk, than the rest of us. He sees himself on the same level as Jesus Christ. Beckwith said in a video, in the autumn of 2019, that only Christians have the capacity to be “moral.” Ppl should be aware of Beckwith & his claims. 4/6

Some might say “You can’t prove he’s NOT talking to ‘God.’” We don’t have recordings any of his talks. “Well you can’t ‘tempt’ ‘God.’” No: this challenges Beckwith. 5/6

Beckwith tries to make people scared of events in society today. He wants to use that fear to vault to power. Remember: in 1923 when the “Beer Hall Putsch” occurred, most Germans laughed off the hateful little guy w/the ridiculous moustache. 6/6
