That man is pure evil.

White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah said Monday that President Trump does not agree with a controversial pastor's claim that Jews are going to hell.
"I haven't seen those remarks, but obviously those aren't remarks that the president agrees with," Shah said at the daily White House press briefing.
Shah was specifically responding to Dallas megachurch leader Robert Jeffress' remark that adherents of various religions will go to hell for not holding a specific view of Jesus. Jeffress said a prayer Monday at the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.

“I haven’t seen those remarks”. Neither has anyone else. The MSM is lying again. Surprise.
Sounds like a “Gotcha” questions. This deputy secretary should not have commented.
This Fake News moment made possible by Shitt Romney, against whom Trump MUST campaign hard to defeat on June 26th.
Anything to distract attention from the Democrat Party no show in Jerusalem today
This is a small taste of what we’re in for if Mike Pence should one day decide to run for president.

Well that’s the nice thing about preachers.
If you don’t like their opinion on a topic, just wait a spell.
probably fake news but some of it is true. Saved would be the Church, the Bride of Christ, whether Jew OR Gentile. Lost would be every one that rejects the sacrifice from God of his son on the cross, whether Jew or Gentile. “Jew” alone means nothing, only a part of the equation. Don’t bother arguing about this, this is right out of God’s Word. I can give you verses to back up all that is said here, look it up.
Sent to hell? You mean like inhabiting a burning hot desert that is surrounded by demons?
Well, if the Jews are sent there, I’m sure they’ll be able to turn whatever afterlife hell they inhabit into a paradise, just as they’ve done here.
“This is a small taste of what we’re in for if Mike Pence should one day decide to run for president.”
Got that right.
But, no Quarter in this fight...
That man is pure evil.
John 3:16-18 For this is the way God loved the world: he gave his one and only Son that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 18 The one who believes in Him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
They're referencing this quote by Pastor Robert Jeffress, whom Trump calls on regularly to speak:
From his 2010 interview shown here: Right Wing Watch.
They won’t be alone. They’ll be joined by practitioners of Wicca, Druidry, Asatru, Witchcraft, and around 1.8 billion Muslims in the world at some point among many others. Hefty group for a real party.

Give me a break!
I’ve always admired Jeffress. But he has no right to assume the mind of God in his interpretation of it. He needs some Old Testament learnin’ from a good ol’ rabbi.
This is not a spiritual topic that has any merit in open discussion with non-believing media.
The concepts related to God’s chosen people (the Jews) and the status of their salvation is nothing but a sound byte filled gotcha session for media piranhas.
Whether the Jews are fully under the new covenant since Jesus resurrection or whether God gives them the choice and how the entire issue of judgement will work for them is a subject of debate even among very intelligent Bible scholars.
They might all be going to hell as non-believers in Christ. It’s very very possible. Maybe even likely. But the reasons aren’t a God that hates them. Entirely the opposite. They missed the Messiah and denied Him. The covenant changed and the old laws were rendered unneeded. The entire purpose of the book of Revelation is when God switches from everyone else and focuses on the Jews and Israel and brings them back to belief in Him and his resurrection before the end.
But trying to explain the meaning of all that to a media that largely denies God and hates Christians is pointless. They aren’t looking for truth. They are looking for an argument or a political wedge.
But he didn’t say “Jews are going to Hell”. I don’t consider it a subtle difference, either. Being a Jew can’t save you, neither can good works. But that doesn’t mean everyone is going to Hell for doing them.
Quibbling over semantics: if you “not saved,” you’re “going to hell.”
