Pastor Robert Jeffress: Only evangelicals who have "sold their soul to the devil" will vote for Bide

Perhaps God didn't send "Bob" the memo that his "plan" was for Biden to win?

Pastor Robert Jeffress: Only evangelicals who have “sold their soul to the devil” will vote for Biden

Last Updated Aug 7th, 2020 at 10:44 pm
Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas on Friday had some harsh words for evangelicals who vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the November election.

During an appearance on Fox Business, Jeffress said "there's not a snowball's chance" that Biden receives any "significant evangelical vote," while emphasizing the former vice president's stance on abortion.

"People are being told that if [they] support President Trump, [they] are a racist. Nobody wants to be called that. So, they are not going to admit they are voting for President Trump on November 3," Jeffress added. "There is going to be a tsunami-sized surprise of voters turning out to support our great President Donald Trump."

Jeffress net worth this year is said to be 17 million. Not bad for a guy who preys on the frightened and weak.

6. Jeffress is a mainstream Southern Baptist pastor.

The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States by far. Jeffress has been preaching within that denomination for many years, and as you point out, he's been very successful at it.

He's likely to lose some of his flock over his recent reversal, though. Apparently, now he's telling them to pray for Biden, but plenty of them worship Trump just as much as they claim to worship Jesus.

2. He was right - Appealing to the racists was probably the best strategy

It got him within shouting distance of reelection. I think a tack towards normalcy and the middle would have cost him more votes than he would have gained. Given the voter participation rate it was a tsunami on both sides.

Another fool who wouldn't recognize the anti-Christ if he voted for him twice.

Accomplishes what they keep allegedly pushing for with their dogma.

Although it is becoming very clear now that religious people seem to worship Mammon and Republicanism more than anything else. The Billy Graham commercial that shows Franklin Graham (I think) peddling his crap always shows their true colors, because he is wearing a black leather jacket with a Polo insignia on it... Why not a just a modest one, unless wealth status is a priority?

... President Beezlebub, they are a Satanists. Nobody wants to be called that.

So, they are not going to admit they are voting for President Beezlebub on November 3."

Fun with words.
