Evangelical Pastor Robert Jeffress want Trump to invade North Korea, and he’s using the bible to support his radical statement.

“When it comes to how we should deal with evildoers, the Bible, in the book of Romans, is very clear: God has endowed rulers full power to use whatever means necessary — including war — to stop evil,” Jeffress said. “In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un.”

This from a man whose religion is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths throughout history, and not a single conquest by Christian leaders saved mankind from what they deemed to be evil. Christians and Muslims waged more wars than any nation in history.

When I was a Catholic, I was taught that the use of force; all forms of violence; were in direct opposition to the words of Jesus Christ. Whether you believe that he was the son of god, or that he was a profit, he preached peace and understanding and opposed violence and revenge.

Jeffress: “A Christian writer asked me, ‘Don’t you want the president to embody the Sermon on the Mount,” he said, referring to Jesus’s sermon. “I said absolutely not.”

Here is another fake Christian who picks verses from the bible which agree with his own. Jeffress does not follow the teachings of of the new testament, he is simply another cult leader who ‘makes it up as he goes along.’

This is another example which exemplifies the reasons that religion must not be allowed to influence politicians and affect policy. Religions are destructive, remove freedom, and destroy equality. Their leaders are cult leaders who demand that followers obey their every demand; they are all Donald Trumps who is an autocrat and has no morals.

Please re-post; thank you.
