Featured do you like Robert Jeffress?

I don't know him, and don't have any opinion on whether I "like" him. I disagree with him on what seems to me to be too much defense of some things I see wrong with Donald Trump (or maybe just being too political in general). On the other hand, I have heard a few of his sermons on the radio that I thought were pretty good Bible teaching.

 

Jeffress is the man! Love him. Like his theology and his unwavering moral convictions which often manifests in political opinions. I wish more were like him. The Church has lost its testimony in fighting atrocities like abortion.

 

My favorite pastor. Watch him every week.

 

Love it when he goes of Fox and he's sick of all the CRAYP that's going on.

 

I like Trump's morality. He has his sins and his rough edges. He may not be saved, and I pray for that, but Trump is helping people and trying to end the abortion holocaust. He's fulfilling God's purpose for government, in punishing the guilting and ministering to the innocent. That's quite a brave and moral stand, a lot braver than the Christians that sat out this last election.

In fact, the Christians claiming the moral high ground in opposing Trump, really owe him an apology, considering all he's done. I think they need to repent and apologize to keep their testimony.

 

Yep. He tells it like it is. This nation would not be in the mess it is in today if pastors had taken a stand 60 years ago.

 

I don't see anything wrong with him or what he says.

I think he has more guts than most pastors of large churches. I thought it was funny that Mitt Romney asked him to retract his saying that Mormonism is a cult. To which he replied, no.

Most of the "controversial" positions he takes, I agree with wholeheartedly.

I think Robert's wording is "motivated by pride rather than principle." In other words, many people who agree with the positions Trump takes vote against Trump based on the fact they can't have such a "lowly" and "sinful" man be the President. The Bush's voted against him because of how he reduced their legacy - not based on principle.

So Senior citizens may not like him because he was caught on tape saying bad things, didn't look presidential, or something similar rather than voting on the issues.

Ideally or practically. Ideally, I agree. Practically, not supporting him is supporting the evil agendas of Chuck, Nancy, and Hillary.

 

Heard a sermon recently on how Christians should never argue. Don't think Jeffress would agree.

 

He enjoys a good debate.

 

That was one of my biggest concerns, no distinction was made, and no contrast no balance. Christians should not be involved in arguments. Very broad brush.

I would agree with you, there are good and bad arguments to be engaged in. There are issues you should take up, and issues you should overlook. There are times to contend for the faith, and times to be silent.

My point was, I think we're at a point in our culture, where the Church needs to be contending for the truth and for morality. I don't think now is the time to be silent about important issues. I think we need more Jeffresses and less pacifistic pastors who don't want to ruffle any feathers.

 

An interesting article: I Wish Christians Would Argue More

 

I didn't see the exchange. I like Falwell (both late Sr. and Jr.) and Newt. But yes, you are right to be concerned about that, and we're all susceptible to that. Curious, if you checked out the article I linked. The author made that point as well. Meekness is a difficult balance.
