Robert Jeffress Rebukes Glenn Beck for Criticism of Southern Evangelicals
BREITBART ^ | March 23, 2016 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 03/23/2016 4:44:46 PM PDT by McGruff

Robert Jeffress, pastor of the 12,000 member First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, is rebuking talk radio host Glenn Beck for his recent criticism of evangelical Christians who live in the South and are not supporting Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% ’s campaign to secure the Republican Presidential nomination.

“All throughout the South the Evangelicals are not listening to their God,” Beck said at a rally in Utah on Monday.

“Beck’s wacko comment speaks for itself,” Jeffress tells Breitbart News.

“However, by using the phrase ‘their God’ to refer to the God we evangelical Christians worship, Beck is finally admitting that the true God of the Bible is different than the god of the Book of Mormon. I congratulate Beck for his honesty in differentiating between the two,” Jeffress adds.

Why does Cruz drag this loon around with him.

Beck is running on brain fumes. There isn’t a single complete brain cell in his thick concrete skull.

Evangelicals must have a different God than Beck......

God doesn’t tell people how to vote.

Beck is a loon.

¡Teb! has joined the dark side.

Strong Baptist rebuke of Beck, and by extension Cruz

***************************************************

That is exactly what the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price and the Book of Mormon say...their ‘god’ is Joseph Smith, and don't forget that...

Mormonism is an anti Christian cult, nice of Beck to admit they worship a different god. Has Ted disavowed him yet?

How many here would like to see Glenn Beck with a key to the backdoor of the White House?

C’mon Cruz supporters... do you?

Shouldn’t First Baptist Church of Dallas lose its tax exempt status when the senior pastor is out campaigning for Trump? The IRS should enforce its rules about political activity for churches. (And the members of that church should question why their spiritual leader endorses a foul-mouthed thrice-married man of low character.)

What the heck does your comment have to do with mine?

Simple question...Do you want Beck still “advising” Cruz should he win?

Why are you bullying Christians?

No such rule should exist. And it’s only an issue for conservatives anyway. Dems actively campaign in black churches and dare anyone to call them on it. They’ve been doing it for decades. Church leaders should have as much right to make their political views known as anyone. You better believe non-profits off all stripes support candidates. Why shouldn’t a church have that same right?

A pastor has a Constitutional right to campaign for a candidate, just as he has a right to be a candidate.

Why would any person think that Beck is advising Cruz? You mean like Palin speaking for Trump? She’s a NUT.

Beck is not your enemy. He is a patriot. He stands for the Constitution and limited government. Let’s remember Lincoln’s admonition “with malice toward none, with Charity toward all”; and that was at Gettysburg, where Americans slaughtered each other. If you think your view is correct, you have the opportunity to win him over. Go for it.

Are you series? You mean to tell me you missed the cosmic change in Teds campaign strategery the minute he joined at the hip with Beck in Iowa and afterwards?

It sure as hell got my attention. I was planning to vote for Cruz, but that was just the first of many things he has done to finally push me clear out the door.

I'm fairly sure I'm not the only FReeper who has had that change of heart for very much the same reasons
