Pastor Jeffress Speaks at Jerusalem Embassy

Did you know that Jesus clearly said that HE is the only way to salvation?

Yep!  Not through Allah, not through Joseph Smith, not through Buddha, not from being a "good person" and not from being a good Jew!

Jesus went on to say that all those folks are walking on the wide road that leads to destruction.  That doesn't sound good!

So one would expect that a preacher of the Gospel would repeat those words that Jesus said.  And of course the world will HATE THOSE WORDS because they want to invent their own ways to be saved.

Now check out how the NY Times seems to be aghast that Pastor Jeffress would dare to suggest such a thing.

A Dallas evangelical pastor who once said that Jewish people are going to hell and a megachurch televangelist who claimed that Hitler was part of God’s plan to return Jews to Israel both played prominent roles on Monday in the opening ceremony of the new American Embassy in Jerusalem.

Robert Jeffress, who spoke at President Trump’s private inaugural prayer service and is the pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, delivered a prayer at the opening ceremony on Monday, while the Rev. John C. Hagee, a televangelist who founded Christians United for Israel and leads a San Antonio megachurch, gave the closing benediction.

Despite their comments about Jewish people, the two pastors are among the leading pro-Israel voices in the evangelical Christian world. Some evangelicals believe that American foreign policy should support Israel to help fulfill biblical prophecies about the second coming of Christ.

The decision by Mr. Trump to move the embassy from Tel Aviv fulfilled a major campaign promise and handed a victory to hard-line pro-Israel Americans, as well as conservative and evangelical Christians who have long wanted the United States’ diplomatic home to be in Jerusalem.

Mr. Jeffress, who leads one of the largest Southern Baptist churches in the country, suggested in a 2010 interview with the Trinity Broadcasting Network that some churches might shy away from saying “anything that’s going to offend people” to try to grow their congregations. He made it clear he was going to preach what he believes the Bible says.

“Islam is wrong. It is a heresy from the pit of hell,” Mr. Jeffress said in the interview. “Mormonism is wrong. It is a heresy from the pit of hell.”

He added: “Judaism — you can’t be saved being a Jew. You know who said that, by the way? The three greatest Jews in the New Testament: Peter, Paul and Jesus Christ. They all said Judaism won’t do it. It’s faith in Jesus Christ.”

The NY Times write simply can't figure out how in the world a person could love the Jews, love Jerusalem and love Israel and yet still claim Jesus' words that good Jews are on the wide road to destruction.

Jesus said that the world would hate Him and hate his message too!  So we shouldn't be surprised when the world hates the messenger when Jeffress would repeat Jesus' words that Muslims and Jews can't be saved by faith in their religions.

It would sure appear that we are living in the very last days. Events are moving VERY quickly!
