Shouldn’t First Baptist Church of Dallas lose its tax exempt status when the senior pastor is out campaigning for Trump? The IRS should enforce its rules about political activity for churches. (And the members of that church should question why their spiritual leader endorses a foul-mouthed thrice-married man of low character.)
Why are you bullying Christians?
Why do you think that’s OK?
No such rule should exist. And it’s only an issue for conservatives anyway. Dems actively campaign in black churches and dare anyone to call them on it. They’ve been doing it for decades. Church leaders should have as much right to make their political views known as anyone. You better believe non-profits off all stripes support candidates. Why shouldn’t a church have that same right?

A pastor has a Constitutional right to campaign for a candidate, just as he has a right to be a candidate.
Careful. You might hurt yourself falling off that high horse!
Oh that’s right, Cruz and his fans are all about weaponizing the IRS.
Your comment is a good example why Cruz is toxic for Evangelicals and beholden to Mormons for his political survival.
If that law were followed, there wouldn’t be one black church in existence, since that’s one of the primary venues for Democrats to campaign. But that isn’t even pertinent in this instance.
I’ve heard Dr./Rev. Jeffress speak about politics, most recently with Cavuto, and he was extra careful about his verbiage as to a technical endorsement of a candidate. He chose his words so carefully that Cavuto was laughing at him.
The first time I heard him speak he was praising what Trump had said about Muslims; he wasn’t endorsing Trump as a candidate.
Most often, he’s speaking against issues as in this instance. Here, he’s criticizing Beck by pointing out the fact that a Mormon god isn’t “God” as evangelicals and Catholics believe in God. And it’s left up to us Christians to use our powers of logic to make the connection between Beck and smarmy, swarthy, creepy, feckless Lyin’ Ted of low character.
thrice-married man....really?
name the only divorced President we ever had...... that’s right ......Ronald Reagan
I’ll take Trump any day over a two face sanctimonious hypocritical a******
