Notoriously anti-LGBT megachurch Pastor Robert Jeffress says only Donald Trump can stop the “downward spiral” of America evidenced by the attack on Dallas police. Also, the police are sent by Jesus. More from Raw Story:
Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor at First Baptist Church in Dallas, lashed out at what he called “bogus ministers” who did not preach about having “respect for the police.”
During an Sunday interview on Fox & Friends, Jeffress called on churches “to instill in their a members a respect for the police.”
“The New Testament says in Romans 13:4 that law enforcement officers are ministers of God sent by God to punish evil doers,” he opined. “When you think about it, police officers are just as called by God to do what they do as pastors and priests are called by God. And I think we need to remind our members of that.”
Alluding to Black Lives Matter protests over killings by police, Jeffress said that he was getting “sick and tired of so-called ministers who do nothing but sow seeds of distrust and disrespect for the police.”
“Those kinds of bogus ministers need to be exposed, and need to be called out for what they’re doing,” he insisted.
Jeffress made national headlines in 2012 when he declared that Mitt Romney and all Mormons are not real Christians.
