(Reuters) - An unapologetic Pastor Robert Jeffress, who created a stir for calling Mormonism a "cult" at a political gathering, told hundreds of congregants at his Texas megachurch on Sunday that he welcomed the opportunity he's had to warn people about a "false religion."
------------------------------------

My Take

It is bizarre for people with education to behave ignorantly. For, as it is, a statement without any evidence shows Jeffress lack of knowledge about both the LDS Church and about the Bible. Anytime anyone makes a statement, that individual must present evidence. That is the way the academia functions.

For Pastor Jeffress to make an accusation that a religion especially the LDS church to be false, Jeffers if he had any intellectual qualities, would take the bible and compare it with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, to make such a comparison Jeffress, would need to know about he LDS church as well.

As it is appears Jeffress knows nothing about the LDS church, unless of course his knowledge if from ex-LDS people who left because they could not get power, and they could not change themselves to follow the bible.

Sorry, Mr. Jefffress, your lack of academic qualities has exposed your true-self—simple uniformed and full of hate. Please correct me if am wrong. I have read the bible for 33 years, and also I have studied The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The LDS church follows every bit of the bible, so the LDS appears to be the true religion; if we are considering which church is true of false.

Does Jeffress church follows the entire bible or is it just following the convenient parts of the bible? Appears that Mr. Jeffress comments have answered the question. For, how is Pastor Jeffress living? Is he working for a living, and preaching by sacrifice, without as salary from the congregation, like the LDS preachers—lay people? Or is Jeffress getting a salary to preach? Like every church I know except for the LDS church; though there may be some churches who preach of the love of God, for there are over five thousand religions.

If Mr. Jeffresss is getting paid to preach, or if he preaches for profit, than is statements about the LDS are just a form of job security; and the religion he preaches is not true; for in the new testament it says ’’That which you freely get, freely give” preaching is not for profit. Jeffress is simply doing what has been done for centuries.

However, if Pastor Jeffers has any sense of integrity, he must show the evident that he alludes to, about the LDS. Otherwise Pastor Jeffress’s credentials both as a pastor and as leader are as worthy as much as his statements—without merit.

Killing A US Citizen, where is the Geneva Convention

Secret U.S. Memo Made Legal Case to Kill a Citizen

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s secret legal memorandum that opened the door to the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born radical Muslim cleric hiding in Yemen, found that it would be lawful only if it were not feasible to take him alive, according to people who have read the document.

My Take
Where are the hypocrite democrats? They accused Bush of being trigger-happy with Iraq, and they even sided with private Bradley. Now, their man—Obama II, is a making Bush to appear like an amateur. In less than six months Obama II, has overwritten the Geneva convention by assassinating unarmed men. This is what they could not hide-how about behind the scenes? The SEALS will tell it to their buddies in about a decade, as they normally do.

Granted that both Bin Laden and Awlaki were at war with the US, but were they armed when we killed them? Bin Laden was not, and no one is alive to tell us about the US Citizen. Is the US not a signatory of the Geneva Convention?

Killing Bin Laden and dumping his body at sea saved lots of aggravation, Killing Awlaki probably saved aggravation too; but it is un-American to kill people who could have been tried and sentenced to death--by justice.

Can we in all honesty call upon the Geneva Conventions when the shoe is on the other foot? When China copies our deeds, can we tell them that they are not civilized, and that they are not respecting the law? Sorry, both the CIA and Obama II have created a very bad situation for our soldiers when the will become POWs, it will happen. Where is the liberal cry?
