Trump Protesters Target Dallas' First Baptist Church

On their fourth consecutive night on the streets, Dallas' anti-Trump protesters took aim at a concrete target with their anger: Dallas' First Baptist Church.

First Baptist's pastor, Robert Jeffress was square in the middle of Trump's victory party in New York City on Tuesday night. He earned the spot: He has been the president-elect's liaison to the evangelical community from virtually the start of the campaign.

In October 2015, he led a group of pastors to Trump tower, laying hands on Trump and gleefully telling Fox News that "anybody that was in that meeting would've left there, first of all, impressed by his great charisma, by his grasp of the issues, but also the fact that he's in it to win it."

Jeffress' Trump love continued through the Republican primary and the general election, no matter the scandal and stumble. When the public heard Trump caught on tape talking about "grabbing women by the p****," Jeffress called the comments "lewd" but said that they shouldn't be enough to make anyone vote for Hillary Clinton. The pastor said he set his belief that Trump is the best choice for America because the New York real estate developer would appoint Supreme Court justices willing to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Dangerous lunatics threaten a church. Hope the cops have plenty of officers undercover with this group.

I was noticing one of my colleges at my workplace acting very sullen and not talking. I asked him if he was feeling OK and he said, “No! I am not feeling OK! Your Nazi Christians elected Trump!” Knowing he was a Sanders supporter, I asked him if he was mad that Hillary Clinton rigged the system to take out Bernie? He didn’t answer me.

These Lefties are stereotyping Christians and making them the scapegoat. It reminds me of the guy who has a bad day at work and the first thing he does when he comes home is kick the dog.

Can a movement be anti religious and pro Islam at the same time? Apparently so!

” It reminds me of the guy who has a bad day at work and the first thing he does when he comes home is kick the dog.”

Anybody who does that is lower than dog shit. When you come home after a day like that (I know, it’s happened to me), the one creature in the entire world who’s most likely to try to console you is your dog.

We are in a battle for the soul of America. The LORD is in Command. We are fighting against unseen powers and principalities. Our first line of defense is to put on THE ARMOR OF GOD and pray.

PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD

They are deliberately associating the violence with Trump just as the DNC paid instigators were sent in before the election to create violence with Trump, in essence blaming the victims.

And this IS paid by the DNC via front groups.

If they hated Jesus Christ, they’ll hate his followers.

No servant is greater than his master.

A church that large should circle the property with members.
