Pastor Robert Jeffress: Only evangelicals who have sold their soul to the devil will vote for Biden
Last Updated Aug 7th, 2020 at 10:44 pm
Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas on Friday had some harsh words for evangelicals who vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the November election.
During an appearance on Fox Business, Jeffress said "there's not a snowball's chance" that Biden receives any "significant evangelical vote," while emphasizing the former vice president's stance on abortion.
"People are being told that if [they] support President Trump, [they] are a racist. Nobody wants to be called that. So, they are not going to admit they are voting for President Trump on November 3," Jeffress added. "There is going to be a tsunami-sized surprise of voters turning out to support our great President Donald Trump."

(14,860 posts)The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States by far. Jeffress has been preaching within that denomination for many years, and as you point out, he's been very successful at it.
He's likely to lose some of his flock over his recent reversal, though. Apparently, now he's telling them to pray for Biden, but plenty of them worship Trump just as much as they claim to worship Jesus.

(1,648 posts)Accomplishes what they keep allegedly pushing for with their dogma.
Although it is becoming very clear now that religious people seem to worship Mammon and Republicanism more than anything else. The Billy Graham commercial that shows Franklin Graham (I think) peddling his crap always shows their true colors, because he is wearing a black leather jacket with a Polo insignia on it... Why not a just a modest one, unless wealth status is a priority?

So, they are not going to admit they are voting for President Beezlebub on November 3."
