Ron DeSantis wishes he had been part of Jesus Christ’s inner circle

DeSantis CBN Brody
'Could I have been there with Jesus' Disciples?'

During a “700 Club” interview, Gov. Ron DeSantis didn’t exactly answer a question about what historical figure he wanted to have dinner with, but he did reach into theology to say who he would have liked to spend time with.

“Could I have been there with Jesus’ Disciples?” he asked interviewer David Brody.

DeSantis went on to flesh out the scenario.

“I mean. these are people who, you know, Peter is just fishing one day and all of a sudden this guy comes up to him, catches all the fish and says, ‘You know, you’re going to be a fisher. I want you to be a fisher of men, come with me,'” DeSantis said.

“And so these guys all went out and they dedicated their life to spreading the Gospel and they all were killed for, you know, they tried to kill John. John ended up, you know, being able to survive, but I mean, the intent was to put him to death, too. And you know, to talk about what that was like, you know, talk about what their, what their impressions are.”

Indeed, many of the Apostles died while proselytizing in places with other spiritual traditions.

“I look back at that and would love to have been able to be there with them,” DeSantis added.

During the same interview, DeSantis also addressed the question of his favorite President.

His preference ultimately is for the “indispensable man” George Washington, whom he said could have been king, but voluntarily relinquished power.

      Good point there Thomas,
      I’ve been wondering why we are being blocked from seeing any of the negative stories on The 8iden Crime Family, what wacky things Kamalla has been babbaling about, and stuff like that. I’m thinking we may have all been hacked and somehow denied equal access to the news.
      Jeepers, I hope they get that corrected soon.

    Yes – he wishes he’d been there… not to listen or learn, but to rail against their “wokeness.”

      Jesus and his disciples would all be “stone cold dead” if Rhonda had been there.

      Of course they ARE all “stone cold dead,” but that won’t let Rhonda stop them from boasting about how they’d have killed Jesus and his disciples had they, Rhonda, been there!

      Rhonda, always wishing death upon people. Despite the fact that everybody dies and it’s a total waste of a wish.

    There’s an overwhelming amount of historical evidence that Jesus was a gay man, and he would have wild S&M orgies with his apostles.

    That’s probably why DeSantis wants in at that sweet acton.

        Awww, sounds like somebody is sad they were born in the wrong millennium and weren’t around to experience one of Jesus’ hot S&M leather orgies in person. 😔

    Jesus taught peace, love and understanding. Perhaps the Governor wishes to understand why Jesus spent more time with criminals, lepers and other outcasts from society. I also think that his choice of Washington for not wanting to be a king is something that DeSantis needs to learn.

      I agree wholeheartedly! I think he misses the point of Christ’s life and, definitely Washington’s decision to not take absolute power!

    So DeSantis would make a better priest or minister than politician… btw does anybody actually still watch or list3n to The 700 Club? I didn’t even realize any “episodes” were still being made, thought it died off eons ago.

    Jesus was the original WOKE man. Loving all, forgiving all, and teaching all. Our governor is anti woke, anti equal rights, anti books and anti Christian. We can not let him fool us. We need to be all WOKE like Jesus.

      A prominent Christian church near me has a banner that reads: “As followers of Jesus Christ, we embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.”

      to that, I say “Amen.”

  • Jesus was woke

    June 16, 2023 at 12:22 pm

    lol this makes absolutely no sense. If Ron DeSantis was alive back when Jesus lived. Jesus would’ve been considered woke to Ron DeSantis. Jesus taught love and compassion, and that is some thing that Ron DeSantis does not have. And DeSantis is to self-centered and self-serving to ever be able to follow someone like Jesus.

    My goodness, all these negative reactions to Mister DeSantis saying he would like to have spent time with Jesus and the Apostles. Why, I think it is a lovely idea. If only we could send him back to that time. Perhaps they would have an extra cross for him, and he could be a martyr too!
    I wonder if Mister Trump would like to join him–he could fundraise from his cross. Oh, silly me, he’s doing that already.
    In any case, Ronald, Donald…bless your hearts.

Well, it all came to pass and totally modified my ba-50 life. Presently, everybody has to attempt this work by utilizing this site.

    Wow. Hard to believe that the man (DeSantis) who told people that they were not essential actually spews this nonsense that he is somehow Christian. Here let me help you-Jesus would have never said that anyone was not essential. In fact Jesus would tell you that in the Kingdom of God everyone is essential and has a purpose. DeSantis blocked me/others from my/our God given purpose when he locked down the state for money. There was no pandemic, he was either stupid or greedy. I live in the most concentrated area of seniors in the state and according to the health dept seventeen people died of COVID and all of them had comorbidities.

    We live in an ignorant country full of phony religious zealots who’ve destroyed people’s lives for generations, not counting the wars to control the world in the name of God! These religions and the men that claim them make it easy to believe they’re all cults who will do anything to stay inside the flow of money and power no matter who suffers. What a fairy tale we’ve been led to believe! And what a shame if this our democracy goes to destruction in the name of God. If they’re not stopped, it’s exactly what will happen.

    Watching this fat faced liar and his peter bit is comical. Ronny can’t camopaign when the opposition is there hence his life long struggle to keep the so called liberal media out of his face. He has 6 writers at fox news who keep his BS down to a minimum never allowing anybody to question.

    This guy is a complete fake. From getting a Bronze star ( never left the greenzone) to becoming Trump’s pissboy now trying to march his name in history as the biggest Facist of the 21st century.
    Can’t wait for Roget Stone to get turned loose on him. If he doesn’t that means DeSantis promised pardon’s to al the grifters that will give him a boost.

    From a 21st Century perspective – knowing that Jesus is God in the flesh, the Alpha and Omega, the creator and sustainer of all things, to speculate what it would be like as one of His initial chosen apostles or disciples is terrifying.
