Why Robert Jeffress Is Endorsing Rick Perry

Jeffress says that Evangelical Christians should endorse a Christian leader, and he also considers Romney a non-Christian and Mormanism a cult, He confuses me more and got my head spining when he said that if it were between Obama and Romney, he would vote for Romney?I thought Obama was a Evangelical Christian/Baptist?  Confused confused i am dam confused!CALGONE TAKE ME AWAY!

Who's really a Christian?  Check out Roger Williams on the internet.  He was one of the founders of the Baptist Church, but he left it and became a Seeker.  What's a Seeker?  Someone, through reading the Bible, that has discovered that the Christian Church suffered an apostasy after the death of Christ, and ceased to exist.  Therefore, the Seeker feels a restoration of the Church is needed.  Roger Williams stated that the Christian Church did not exist on earth, and that he was waiting for angels to restore it to earth as originally organized, with apostles, prophets, and priesthood authority.  Remember...this was the founder of the Baptist Church, of which Jeffress is a pastor.  Keep in mind, the Catholic Church did not appear until 300-400 years after Christ, from which come all the Protestant Churches.  Luther himself protested, but never wanted to start another church...the Lutheran Church.  Also, why is it that there are approx. 1600 Protestant Churches in existence when the Bible calls for being One, not 1600.  What is a real Christian?

Who is the true Christian?  Romney or Jeffress?

But in the end, what does it matter?  The real question is....who's the true American and best to lead this country back to greatness and liberty for each of us?  Romney or Perry?

Romney may have some faults, but remember where Perry comes from?  He was a full on Democrat.  Is he just an opportunist seeking his fortune at our expense?

What happens if Herman Cain wins the GOP nomination? Is Jeffress going to give a speech calling black people witches and satanist.Obviously, Jeffress is a media whore and makes controversial comments to get attention. Quit indulging this littlest of men. It would appear from this article the SBC base is eroding and this is a recruiting tool to attract racists and bigots.http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion...

Jeffers is just a little bit more insane than Perry.  His characterization of Rick as "a true conservative Christian" shows how little he knows about the putative icon of his own religion...Jesus was about as far from the contemporary "conservative"  position as he could possibly be.  Bah. 

I now will volt for Mitt Romney after hearing the Baptist pastor bigotry

SORRY RICK I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS

Pastor Jeffress definition of the Mormon Religion if applied to the Catholic or Orthodox Religion ...would also be cults.  Did we all become Roman Catholic when Kennedy was elected...NO.  It's the man not his Religion that counts.  Carter was a devout Christian...what a fiasco that was....Perry has flip flopped on several points already..the press will have a field day if he is nominated. 

Would someone please ask Pastor Jeffress where in the Bible does it say the Bible containsthe complete word of God?   If he quotes that " no one is to add to the book", ask if he knows the dates each book in in the Bible was written.  What the Bible is saying is that noone is to  add to the revelation that John gave.   The followers of Christ were called Saintsin the days when Christ was upon the earth and later they were first called Christians, Ibelieve, in Corinth.  A Christian is one who actually follows Christ's teaching, not one whospeaks it.  Most Protestants " confess with their mouths, but their hearts are far from me,"according to the scriptures spoken by the Lord.  The Bible was not in book form when it wasoriginally written.

Perry also will follow one of Evangelical Christianity's tenets of emulating the 'Prince of Peace' by drone bombing the shit out of Muslim civilians

I was at the mall earlier today, and these teens were discussing their future plans, and one young man made the comment that he will not go to church because there is so much hate, power struggles, and mean people in church.It got me to thinking that the way our pastors, and future leaders act, teens will not be interested in church, or maybe voting, because why should they when the pastors and leaders on national tv are slandering, hurting, hating, and being mean and cruel when children are taught to love, care, give, and follow God the way you want. But it seems, now a days even pastors stand in front of their congrgation preaching hate, slander, and saying awful things about other's religion.Sad...so sad for teens who have to hear this kind of message.

Mormonism is a cult as is Catholicism and most Christian denominations and all religions.

http://www.irs.gov/charities/c... very close to the line on this."For example, a minister of a church can attend an event for a particular candidate and express his support of the candidate as long as he does not state or otherwise imply that he is speaking on behalf of his church.  However, if a minister made the same statement at an official church function or in an official church publication, that statement would be prohibited political campaign activity."It's a rotten thing as far as I'm concerned to get into the specific religious beliefs of candidates. I use the same criterion when I pick a contractor, I don't look for a good Christian contractor. I look for a good competent ethical contractor. I do not and never have cared about the religious beliefs of candidates. 

It's only a matter of time before he's found in a restroom tapping his feet against the doors.

So Christians think Mormons are crazy because some dude went up a hill and hallucinated, as opposed to Moses going up a mountain, hallucinating and coming down with some stones? Okay then...

My heart sank when I read the story on CNN and the first sentence had Dallas in it. I'm tired of my city and state being a laughing stock because of these nutjobs.

And one might wonder why Perry is "sinking like the Titanic" in the national polls.

Dan Savage should do a mash up of :32 with all Jeffress other rhetoric

I know Dr.Criswell is turning in his grave. I listen to Dr Jeffress sometime on TV his bible teaching seems good but some of his thinking is a bit over the top.Calling  a religious group a Cult is  not good  any organized religion could be compared to a cult including his.

is it me or is this dude a flaming queen. 

I love this!!! Just when it looked like they would shut the heck up and let politics play out, FBC goes all cockamamie once more!!! Yippee!! Come on now, keep doing this about every five weeks, because I would still rather have Obama than ANY Republican right now. ANY. And when Romney IS the nominee, watch Jeffress endorse him anyway.

Please, Rev Jeffress, keep doing God's work: to re-elect a Democrat. You keep on a talkin' from the pulpit. You keep slicin' and dicing the GOP field with your religious measuring stick, okay?

Make sure you start checking on which churches the candidates attend, who their ministers are and how you rate them. Make sure you check into their hearts, too, because you know how men are....

Thank you, Rev, you made my weekend.

Jeffress is correct.  I have studied Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses and more, and compared them to the Bible.  Neither of them are Christian.  If you can't understand Mormonism is a non-Christian cult, it's simply because you have either not studied the Bible or you don't believe the Bible.  Neither have you studied Mormonism.

Have ANY of these patriots ever read Art. 6 of the U. S. Constitution: " . . .  no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

I guess they read the Constitution the same way they read the Bible, like the lunch line at Luby's Cafeteria--they pick and choose the things they like, and they ignore the things they don't.

Works great at Luby's, but not so much when it comes to Biblical interpretation or Constitutional application.

From CNN, moments ago:

http://politicalticker.blogs.c...

CNN just played an interview. What an ass.

Man, whoever rendered that video should be ashamed of themselves, but then I imagine that's the best the fundies can get.

Anyone know if Jeffress is a part of the Evangelical pastors' group that is going to outwardly challenge the IRS for a showdown in this election cycle by preaching politics and endorsing candidates from the pulpit?  New York Times had a recent article about them.

If he wants a leader of christ then he should run a church. Oh he does then he should keep doing that because the pulpit is not a political venue. Ministers shouldn't lie either or judge people based on their made up truths. 

Perry by the way doesn't love everybody so how christ-like is that? 

First Baptist church is not a barometer of religion let alone politics. Most people outside of Texas don't even know who bobby is. I've lived in dallas 32 years and my girlfriend graduated from the school. I couldn't pick him out of a line-up. I thought it was the mormon guy when I read the title.

Self-righteous is a sin too? turn down the volume on that self love.

According to Jeffress' logic, Obama and Jimmy Carter are preferable to Mitt Romney because they claim to be born again Christians. What an idiot.

Here's the best reason I've seen so far to not vote for Rick Perry.

If Perry is a "good Christian", then shouldn't he follow at least SOME of the teachings of Christ???? Perry & Jeffress are 2 of the most NON-Christians (or anti-christs) I've ever seen!!!!

"Do we want a candidate who is a good, moral person, or one who is a born again follower of Jesus Christ?"

The last example is both hilarious and revealing because it implies that born-again followers of Jesus Christ are not good, moral people, and that he backs Perry because he's a born-again follower of JC (not good and moral).  

As an atheist, this precisely confirms my prejudices. 

Didn't realize the Constitution required presidents to be true conservatives or committed followers of Christ. Or that we should elect them on "spiritual issues."

This is why churches need to be taxed when advising people whom to vote for. The only thing that should be happening at the pulpit is preaching, not politicizing.
