Dallas minister: Vote for a Christian, not Mitt Romney
A prominent Dallas minister told his congregation that if they wanted to elect a Christian to the White House, Republican Mitt Romney wasn’t qualified.
Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas, said Mormonism is a false religion and that Mr. Romney was not a Christian.
“Mitt Romney is a Mormon, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise,” Dr. Jeffress said in a sermon on Sept. 30. “Even though he talks about Jesus as his Lord and savior, he is not a Christian. Mormonism is not Christianity. Mormonism is a cult.”
Some in the large crowd began to applaud as Dr. Jeffress continued with his remarks.
“What really distresses me is some of my ministerial friends and even leaders in our convention are saying, ‘Oh, well, he talks about Jesus, we talk about Jesus. What’s the big deal,’ ” he said. “It is a big deal if anybody names another way to be saved except through Jesus Christ.”
Tuesday night on CNN’s Larry King Live, popular Houston minister Joel Osteen said Mr. Romney’s Mormon faith wouldn’t affect whether he supported him or not.
“I don’t think that that would affect me,” Mr. Osteen said. “I’ve heard him say that he believes Jesus is his savior, just like I do. I’ve studied it deeply, and maybe people don’t agree with me, but I like to look at a person’s value and what they stand for.
But Dr. Jeffress said colleagues who support Mr. Romney should not confuse morality with Christianity.
“I have conservative friends who are saying, well, he believes in Jesus, we believe in Jesus, let’s just hold hands and sing kumbaya,” he said. “It doesn’t work that way. If a person is supporting Romney, that’s fine. But don’t confuse him with being a Christian.”
Dr. Jeffress also said Christian conservatives were compromising the values used to back presidential candidates over the past decade.
The eatmecrunchy cereal bowl was developed to have a unique shelf-design that keeps your cereal dry – meaning you’ll never have soggy cereal again
This shelf covers 70% of the base, holding the cereal above the milk; however it also has a section where the milk and cereal mix together. The shelf has a cliff that stops cereal getting underneath the shelf but allows the milk to flow freely.
Mark Pedersen’s Tae Kwon Do students learn how to block, kick, punch and basically everything one would expect to be instructed in a martial arts dojo. But they also learn one other aspect at Might for Right Ministries that probably not too many martial arts experts place into training: The teachings of Jesus Christ.
“Jesus taught us to turn the other cheek when we are insulted,” Pedersen said. “I teach self-defense and that we should never be confrontational unless it is a last resort. I teach my students to walk away from confrontation if possible.
“I am not teaching my students how to go around and beat others up.”
Pedersen, the new pastor of First United Methodist Church in Vidor, has been incorporating martial arts into his ministry in some form or fashion everywhere the UMC organization has sent him.
