Robert Jeffress on Obama and ISIS: He Needs to Get Off His High Horse and Acknowledge Radical Islam
Christian Post ^ | 2/18/2015 | Sami K. Martin

Posted on 02/18/2015 3:30:43 PM PST by Laissez-faire capitalist

Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas. joined Father Gerald Murray of New York on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" Tuesday night to encourage Americans of all faiths to contact the White House and demand that the Obama administration call out radical Islam and take action to defeat the Islamic State terrorist organization.

"This is part of a disturbing pattern," Jeffress said when asked by Bill O'Reilly what he made of Obama's initial refusal to call the ISIS beheading victims Coptic Christians [until he publicly acknowledged that the 21 Egyptian men were Christians and not just "citizens" in a Wednesday LA Times op-ed]. ...

What gets me, is that in the past Obama had a pattern of calling Coptics in Egypt "Christians" as he did in his United nation speech in September 2012:

"... The future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians in Egypt - it must be claimed by those who in Tahrir Square who chanted "Muslims, Christians, we are one." ... The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the holocaust that is denied."

Going back to what Obama has said in the past, in his interview with Kathleen Falsani of the Chicago Sun Times in 2004, Obama said that Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Animists and Jews all know God and are children of God and that there are many paths to God. Then we have the speech here at the United nations where he denounces hatred of Jesus, Mohammed, Jews and other speeches that line up with these.

I honestly can't see why Obama didn't call these Coptics that were beheaded "Christians" as Obama called Coptics "Christians" in the past and not only during the UN speech. .

Obama is the Anti-Christ. Time has caught up with us. Now everyone has to make a decision, who will they serve? Will they serve G-d, or will they serve the Anti-Christ?

Of the two on O’Reilly’s show, Father Murray did a much better job than Jeffress. IMHO, O’Reilly should avoid Jeffress, I will give a link to one article out of several available that explains why I believe this way.

IMHO, O’Reilly needs to have more people like Father Murray on, and less people like Jeffress.

I do not support gay marriage, and I do not believe that the Bible condones gay marriage.

But at that same time, I don’t believe that gay marriage is paving the say for the Antichrist:

He certainly is AN antichrist.

Not yet clear if he is THE Antichrist. Archetype? Sure. But there have been others like him.

Obama will convince the world to follow him. He’s already doing it. I mean, most of the world thinks he’s going after ISIS, but ISIS is spreading like wildfire and he scolds other nations who go after ISIS without his permission. WTF is that all about? Obama is against the Jews (The people of God’s covenant) and the Christians (those grafted into the root of Jacob), and he admires and promotes Islam, which is opposed to all Mosaic Law and teachings of Jesus. So you have to say, WTF? The most powerful leader in the world is about to make war with Jews and Christians

If you read revelation, you will find that the Antichrist doesn’t get the entire world to follow him, he spends a great deal of time fighting those that don’t buy into his crap. He does have to face resistance that never is done away with. That’s the point, attempting to run the world and play God when you’re not, doesn’t work out very well. For him or anyone else. You have to resort to destroying quite a bit of it to get it anywhere close to what you want, and then who wants it all screwed up like that?

It also shows the difference when imperfect, evil man plays god, his solution to people who don’t go along with him is eliminating them/forcing them to go along with his plans regardless, ignoring free will and free consciences. God in contrast is patient and He gives men/women a lot of time, a lifetime, to come to Him. Not forcing Himslef on anyone, not overriding their free will. Gives all respect as PEOPLE made in His image. Not so the Antichrist.

One peril of beleiving that you’re smarter than everyone else is that you often overthink problems you face - Obama seems to believe that he can’t call Islamic terrorism Islamic terrorism because everyone will think you’re criticizing the Muslim religion - when in fact most people are just as intelligent or more so than he is and are quite as able as he is to hold the difference between the two entities clearly in mind - it is a condescending insistence from an arrogant little man......

ISIS and Boko Haram are practicing Islam by the example set by their prophet and as instructed in their book.

Read the Koran, there is no radical Islam. It’s just Islam.

It appears he has no problem writing about it in his Op Ed but his problem is he can’t SPEAK the words to us or the world. I don’t believe he wrote the Op Ed.....I don’t believe the guy could even be in charge of changing the toilet paper rolls in the WH...He’s still an empty suit accomplishing nothing while he lets his understudies destroy the United States.

What Jeffress says is correct, though, so why avoid someone who is entirely correct?

There are two events. The tribulation comes at a time when Satan has been released after being imprisoned for a 1000 years. But there is an event before that. The event that coming to pass
