In new video, bishop says Lula and Bolsonaro gave nothing to the church; Gleisi “dismissed” forgiveness from the evangelical leader
Edir Macedo, bishop of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, published a new video this Friday (4.nov.2022) saying that “It is not turning its coat” for advocating that the faithful forgive and not hold grudges against the former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT).
“As for Lula, many people are saying that ‘the bishop has turned his coat, he’s approaching now’. I’m not turning a coat at all”said in an excerpt of the video.
PT president, Gleisi Hoffmannsaid that the party dispenses with the “pardon” offered by the bishop to Lula. “He is the one who needs to ask God for forgiveness for the lies he spread, the induction of millions of people to believe in barbarities about Lula and the PT”, highlighted.
At the beginning of the video, the evangelical leader said that “has nothing against Lula” and therefore would have no reason to forgive him.
“I didn’t forgive Lula, I didn’t forgive anyone. I have nothing against Lula, I have nothing against him. How can I forgive something that I don’t feel at all? If he has it against me, that’s his problem.”said.
He also pointed out that Lula, during the 8 years of government, and Bolsonaro gave nothing to the church or the Record TV. “Lula was in government for 8 years, he asks what he did to me, what he gave me (…) What did he give to the church, to Record? He gave nothing!”he said.
“But also Bolsonaro, what did he do for me? By the Universal Church? By Record? Anything! Zero! Both one and the other did nothing.”he added.
