Senate candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) on Sunday night denounced the pastor expected to speak at Monday's ceremony celebrating the opening of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.
"Robert Jeffress says 'you can’t be saved by being a Jew,' and 'Mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell.' He’s said the same about Islam. Such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the United States Embassy in Jerusalem," Romney tweeted.
Jeffress, a Dallas-based pastor and known supporter of President Trump, said over the weekend that he would be leading the prayer at the dedication of the new embassy. Trump announced in December that he was relocating the embassy to Jerusalem, a move that drew international condemnation and sparked concerns of a widening conflict in the Middle East.
According to a report from Haaretz, Jeffress has made derogatory remarks about Islam in the past, calling it "a religion that promotes pedophilia" and a "heresy from the pit of hell."
He has also called Mormonism "a cult" that is not a true part of Christianity and said "you can't be saved by being a Jew," Haaretz reported.
Jeffress endorsed Romney, who is Mormon, for president back in 2012, despite derogatory comments the pastor made at the time about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Give us an example where he’s a radical
I hate to break it to you but per Christian scripture and beliefs
Everything he said was accurate
He’s no radical , he is the truth
It amazes me what little freepers know about literal Christianity
The pastor didn’t say “by a Jew”
Good post

Thank you wardaddy.
Romney on Trump...University of Utah on March 3, 2016.
... “Let me put it plainly, if we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished.Dishonesty is Trump’s hallmark… His is not the temperament of a stable, thoughtful leader. His imagination must not be married to real power.”
As a side note:... A Bloomberg investigation calculated the LDS Church’s worth at $40 billion—five years ago.....the election of Mormons to Gov. office is a major point in their agenda. Thus creating ‘political consent’ in granting development deals they say are financially beneficial to the community while helping the Mormon Church make tax-free money.
Additionally according to mormans (’White Horse Prophecy’ that one day the U.S. Constitution would “hang like a thread as fine as a silk fiber” waiting to be saved by a Mormon hero...)they think Romney is that hero and why they keep pushing him out there over and over again....
I wouldn’t consider him radical however he speaks directly and candidly which can put off people who are sensitive about social issues etc. and political correctness.
He is right in what he says.
They will never admit that, but it’s true.
Per Christianity Jews are like anyone else in that they need to accept Christ as their savior for salvation
Where this notion Jews are saved simply by birthright comes from....well isn’t that Hageeism and maybe this new pope?
It always tickles me how much well meaning Christians obsess Jews like a Girlfriend who left them
Liberal secular Jews in the West detest literalist Christians more than anything including Muslims
They think we all dream of racks, pogroms and box cars....
Yet many 21st century evangelicals truly fixate over all things Jews
I was raised in the same denomination of this pastor about 400 miles due east along Hwy 80
We didn’t fret about Jews....we didn’t consider them Christ killers or our enemies And when the klan bombed their temple we took them in
But we didn’t focus on them....they were their own thing.....and good luck....they are taking a chance was our view
There was no envy cause we weren’t chosen like they were
Televangelist changed all that
Interesting
I’m very grateful for support Trump gets in Israel
Did McCain already kick the bucket and take over Romney’s body?
Thanks Mark17.

READ.
He DID NOT say “...can’t be saved by a Jew...”; he said, “... can’t be saved by BEING a Jew.”
WORLD of difference!
Romney is such an a-hole
Gee Romney, Mormonism has is labeled a Christian Cult, there are even a ton of book on the subject.
Good analogy.
Pastor of First Baptist Dallas and not afraid to tell it like it is. Teaches right out of the Bible. Homosexuals hate him.
So this is his campaign strategy? To be a skunk at the garden party?
Utah, you have a choice.
Robert Jeffress ...... I hope he speaks in Jerusalem and I am Jewish. I am supposed be offended by him? Screw Mitt Romney.
Yep. The book of moron tries way too hard to sound biblical. Comes off sounding fake and artificial compared to the authentic Word.
