WOW! Where did you get that from the title?
The article itself ... slightly different.
Big time different that your imaginary title and what is 'clear' to you alone!
I agree although it’s the first time I heard of him. He’s right on, nonetheless. Nice to chat with one who had him as a pastor. NOTHING beats The Truth being spoken in the midst of an overload of deception and PC.
I learned something - Camping died - I didn’t know that.
Your comment deserves a major truth bump!
Anyone who does not understand that Obama seeks to destroy Christianity in America isn’t really trying...............
Well said!
I clicked on the link expecting to read about some “pastor” defending the indefensible.
The Islamic messiah - biblical Christians would know him as the Anti-Christ
He is half black, half white. He is tall and strides with a lope. He possesses dead eyes and prominent ears. His background is both obscure and exotic. He is persuasively eloquent and is adept at saying one thing while doing another. His head swivels from side to side when addressing the multitudes, as if reading from prepared texts no doubt lowered from on high and inscribed by the Lord or one of his angels. He gives the distinct impression of being a man-child. He is supremely confident and exudes a certain boyish charm many find irresistible. He is devoted to popular sports involving holes and nets as emblems of ensnaring. He bows frequently in false humility, cajoling the high and mighty of the earth, yet brooks no objection to his will when dissent is offered. He is to be found in many different places from one day to another. He is surrounded by loyal minions, many of whom appear to be imbeciles, who do his bidding without question or scruple. He occupies the seat of power.
...All his actions are directed toward igniting the flames that wait to engulf the world. He diligently undermines the laws, security and prosperity of the people he ostensibly represents, and turns one against the other, sowing discord among the populace. He betrays his friends and allies and renders them vulnerable to international predators. He sponsors and supports warlike groups and aggressive regimes that seek world hegemony. He is an undeclared enemy of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. He is a great friend to Islam in its march toward imposing a caliphate upon unsuspecting nations. He welcomes the black flag and the yellow flag into the sanctum of domestic authority, distributing office among his Muslim acolytes. He smiles upon the ayatollahs and signs agreements that facilitate their holy designs to kindle universal violence and establish God’s kingdom on earth.
He has been schooled at the feet of prophets and sages and learned from the masters of canon and creed. He is the repository of sacred teachings and potent incantations, and is adept at uttering sonorous phrases that please as they befuddle. He is the embodiment of consecrated, numinous and venerable doctrine. He is no longer Hidden but exults among us in all his glory. He is the bringer of chaos and the last days. He will inaugurate a new world order.
That is understandable but not this...The headline is clear: The pastor likes Obama, defends the president, and hopes for a third term. That is reading into something that simply is not there!
I can understand the objection. Can you imagine how the Prince of Darkness must feel? Satan is supposed to be God's adversary, and the poor guy is being compared to a drug-addled communist who is just as evil but too lazy to do much about it most days. I'll bet the Antichrist sounds like Rodney Dangerfield, muttering about "no respect" when he hears that comparison.
Sounds to me like he’s not scared to tell it the way it is.
It's called the internet. People say things to make a point. We don't have tone of voice, facial expression or body language. So we emphasize our point in any way we can. My point (as several other posters had no trouble seeing) was that the headline seemed to imply that a pastor was coming to Obama's defense and was perhaps explaining that Obama's comments (on some unknown topic) were worthy of defense by a pastor. I say it was an ill-chosen headline.
The internet -- eventually you'll get used to it.
You can look up Robert Jeffress on YouTube.
Ever since he got hired as head pastor of First Baptist Dallas he has been more and more visible on the national scene.
He is the real deal.
It was nice to have him at church for lots of reasons. But my favorite was that the few libs we had left because they couldn’t handle him telling the truth.
He really is a terrific preacher too. And he never backs away from talking about politics and what is going on in society.
Good for Jeffress, I applaud him for saying this...and for what he said previously about Mormonism.
Obama’s socialism and antichristianism is indeed paving the way for antichrist. There is a reason satan’s antichrist one world system is painted in red, the color of commmunism/socialism (Rev. 12).
Why the false title of this thread, Graybeard?
I didn't author the title, I just copy and paste. It could have been better written but:
"Pastor defends Obama comments" is close enough, I only had to read a few lines to understand what the head line writer meant.
"Pastor defends Obama's comments would have meant something entirely different.
"Pastor defends his comments about Obama", would have been much clearer.
