People should go to his church on Sunday and start asking questions, publicly, in front of his congregation:
"How would Jesus feel about Trump Bibles?"
"What about posting as Jesus and having golden idols of himself?"
"What have you seen from Trump that mirrors the actions of Jesus?"
"Why do you support a pedophile?"

I wish I had it in me to go protest in front on a Sunday morning, like those Christian kooks that street preach with a bullhorn.
Suspicious_Mind_356@reddit
Join me. I’m there almost every Sunday.
Mnudge@reddit
You would be taken out immediately and then the FBI would arrest you.
It happened before
chesterriley@reddit (OP)
On what charges?
Snobolski@reddit
Charges wouldn't matter until after the flashlight-induced concussion heals.
Mnudge@reddit
By the way, I’m not disagreeing with your opinions. These people are horrible and defend and protect all types of criminals
Mnudge@reddit
1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which prohibits interference or intimidation of "any person by force, threat of force, or physical obstruction exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship."
chesterriley@reddit (OP)
I would like to see a loudspeaker outside the entrance on Sundays before church services playing on loop the Access Hollywood recording of Trump bragging about his adultery and sexual assaults. Heretic Jeffries probably doesn't have any shame but this would at least embarrass him and maybe shame some of the people attending his church.
"I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and fuck her, she was married"
"Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."
"I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait."

All one has to do is remind them how the Bible defines idolatry (Romans 1:21-23) then ask how they can consider themselves to be a pastor to anyone who actually has a basic understanding of the word.
amanhasthreenames@reddit
Tell them to read Proverbs 6:16-19
Suspicious_Mind_356@reddit
If you really want to let Jeffress know how you feel, join me in front of his church (almost) every Sunday. For the past 2-1/2 years. I’m the fool holding the sign calling out his hypocrisy. At first, they tried telling me I was on private property, and to leave. While standing on a public sidewalk. In the following months, I was threatened, spit at, yelled at, and more. True Christianity on display at his church.
Appathesamurai@reddit
As a Catholic I’m seeing my community completely turn on Trump finally- this Pope feud has turned millions against him. Thank God.
Even_Talk_1968@reddit
Most trump “Catholics” I know are doubling down. Their hate or fanaticism is stronger than their faith. By fanaticism, I mean anti-abortion fanatics. They vote based on the abortion issue alone
StandardObservations@reddit
I hate that but yeah I've encountered that as well. The Bible teaches a lot more than being anti abortion.. the Bible isn't an anti abortion book. I just don't like single issue voters.
chesterriley@reddit (OP)
So they care more about the 0 times Jesus talks about abortion in the NT than the 3000+ times he talks about helping the poor and wealth inequality.
MerlinsLens@reddit
Oh wow a Protestant doesn't acknowledge the authority of the pope! Who could've guessed.
NotoriousTIGBUR@reddit
What a fucking joke.
esalenman@reddit
Robert’s mom was a big First Baptist female leader close to Criswell. Robert found never feel good enough until he took that pulpit.
chesterriley@reddit (OP)
Can Jeffress possibly become any more of embarrassment to Dallas than he already is? I feel like this guy is the cringiest person in Dallas.
Less_Anywhere_5449@reddit
Totally agree Is it possible he plays for the other team ?
Global-Beach-7415@reddit
As a gay man, he def gives off deep closet case vibes. Unfortunately.
esalenman@reddit
And way more so when I knew him well as a young pastor. He hides it better.
External-Signal-7473@reddit
In the closet but theres no door so you can just see him in there
Such-Hold-7940@reddit
That’s absurd. He’s a Baptist minister and that never happens to them.
No-Celebration3097@reddit
Lol
SteveDallas1175@reddit
Possible? LOL! Almost certain
AlleyRhubarb@reddit
Conservatives have been playing politics like a team sport since 1980. The lesson they learned from Nixon wasn’t to end corruption, it was to end going after their own. Conservatives won’t question saying outrageous stuff like Trump knows more about the bible than the pope. They know it isn’t true. They don’t care. They will say Trump is the best at everything because that’s how you win.
Tchaik748@reddit
Harlan Crow would like a word.
As would Jerry Jones.
darksunshaman@reddit
Now look at how many people will still flock to him.
No-Celebration3097@reddit
And give him money, he’s worth almost 20 million and people give him money.
Illustrious_Crab_664@reddit
This man wouldn’t know the first thing about sacrifice or struggle - he’s a wealthy bully.
happymancry@reddit
There’s a very good reason Dallas has more megachurches than any other city in America. Followed closely by Houston IIRC. Plenty of rich idiots to fleece.
TheSwitchler@reddit
Does Jeffress know what the Pharisees were?
AdApprehensive9524@reddit
I’m a conservative and that’s unequivocally false.
befike1@reddit
I thought Pastors weren't supposed to lie?
Lelleebelle@reddit
I made satire art of these two, but the r/Dallas Mods took it down because it was “trolling”. Apparently calling out hypocrisy in public figures is bullying. I promise to “Be Best” like Melania said I should 😇
Ashmidai@reddit
He pronounced Second Corinthians as Two Corinthians. Yeah, I am sure he is a biblical scholar.
55tacos55pies@reddit
What's really hard is if your beloved parents go to this church and love this guy and think he's a great person and christian. And they beg you to go with them. Very very hard situation to deal with...
Lelleebelle@reddit
Yup, my mother REFUSES to change churches and used to beg me to come to all the church things. I finally told my family that I can no longer set foot in his church since he boldly defended the genocide in Gaza. He did plenty before to make me hate him, but that was the final straw for me.
55tacos55pies@reddit
Sorry. It's so hard. I've never been, and i've always told them that he's an evil person. One of my children went once because they felt too bad saying no all the time. They were so creeped out lol
yolatrendoid@reddit
It's even harder if your parents are full-on Trump cultists. I have numerous friends no longer on speaking terms with theirs over it.
55tacos55pies@reddit
It's very possible I'm your friend
djwurm@reddit
Same here.. most of my mom's side and wife's mom we have just cut them out completely. it's not even worth having any sort of relationship or even a basic conversation.. the amount of stupidity and shit they spew is exhausting. I dont know how they even get thru the day without having some sort of mental or stress breakdown with all the anger and mental twisting they have to do to have the world view they do.
RadPhilosopher@reddit
Unrelated but I love your username (and the video it references).
Thevoodoogirl@reddit
Before he moved to Dallas, I grew up in his church. That place is still the scariest and most dangerous place I’ve experienced in my life.
Lelleebelle@reddit
Cut to Trump saying he doesn’t have a favorite verse bc “I love the whole bible”. Then his finally replying with “Two Corinthians”.
JerryTexas52@reddit
Jeffress is so far up Trump's arse that he can't see the truth.
Powerful-Context416@reddit
Lol I would love to see a Jeopardy style quiz face off between the two lol.
Loud_Inspector_9782@reddit
This tells me a whole bunch about the 1st Baptist Church of Dallas.
frankiea1004@reddit
Who gives a shit about what this little 'pastor' has to say? He’s got some serious 'church size envy' issues. Wasn’t his church dressing women like Melania for a movie premiere?
StormyDaze1175@reddit
Bring your checkbooks people!
Alternative-Tie-9383@reddit
The guy that couldn’t name a single verse that is special to him knows the Bible better that the Pope? These people are in a fucking cult. That’s the only explanation that makes any sense.
Icy_Huckleberry_8049@reddit
both are sacks of shit.
If Jefferies was a REAL pastor, he'd be teaching forgiveness and love one another instead of teaching to hate others for who they are.
Illustrious_Crab_664@reddit
It’s incredible the number of people who are apparently getting in line to make asinine comments like this idiot just has.
FunkmasterFo@reddit
Agreed though I was told as a kid that I wasn't allowed to touch anything in my friend's grandparents house, directly next to my grandpa's house, because I was a papist. These people were Church of Christ and they have no redeeming qualities
Illustrious_Crab_664@reddit
You’re not wrong - you could almost pull the name of any random fundamentalist sect of Christianity out of a hat and have a demonstration of a group of “believers” who have distorted Christianity into a hateful, prosperity gospel-preaching, affront to what Christianity is supposed to be about. When a “religious” group seems to always make headlines by promoting their own divisiveness, then that should speak very loudly about who they are.
chesterriley@reddit (OP)
Heretics.

reycabra007@reddit
What an absolute fucking idiot
beamanblitz@reddit
Disgusting
Jedi71@reddit
Jeffress thinks Trumpers are idiots...and he's right.
WontanSoup@reddit
I’d love to hand T a bible and give him a book, chapter, and verse to look up. You know he’d be thumbing forever because he does not know the books of the bible in order.
annoyingly_excited@reddit
Did he forget about "two Corinthians"?
plastic_jungle@reddit
I’m not sure which scenario is worse—knowing that’s a lie, or believing it’s the truth
Pristine-Truck-4580@reddit
Saying things like this should necessitate a mental health screening for delusional disorders.
Environmental-Age149@reddit
Mental illness does not discriminate
Penguins_in_new_york@reddit
My dad is a retired rabbi and I got drunk once and got ordained online.
Both of us know Christian Bible better than this Pastor
argonautserious@reddit
To be fair, he probably knows it better than Jeffress, but that’s an ironically low bar.
orange-squeezer47@reddit
And trump also knows quantum physics and theory relativity better than Niels Bohr and Einstein.
Unusual_Aspect1427@reddit
Sounds like something a diddler would say. Would be a shame if we got a Nick Shirley type investigation in this church.
Such_Veterinarian682@reddit
A meaningless investigation with no credibility whatsoever? How about a real investigation instead?
tabrizzi@reddit
That sounds very familiar.
Mnudge@reddit
This is just ridiculous. It’s completely unnecessary to claim this lie
Why not jsut stick with the “imperfect vessel” thing?
That way they can just continue to ignore all of the absolute corruption, crimes and sin.
DallasM0therFucker@reddit
How do Christian men look at cucks like this guy and other evangelicals and still believe they are role models of masculinity? They are such spineless, mindless followers it’s embarrassing to witness.
NephewHotTake@reddit
Oh I’m sure
Crusader1865@reddit
Lies? In your house of god?
eldiablito@reddit
Jeffress is a loser. Always has been and always will be.

konny38@reddit
Not very Christian of him to be lying…truly he cannot actually believe that. Despicable.
MusicalAutist@reddit
hahaahahahahahaahahahh *breathes* hahahAHAhaHAHAhAHAHah
Oh man, wow. Trump doesn't know the first thing about the Bible.
Jim_Nills_Mustache@reddit
I just can’t with these people anymore.
I won’t fucking do it, they are insufferable hypocritical morons.
Old-Bat-7384@reddit
You know what's fucked up about this?
The lie is so much worse as it means that Trump should know significantly better than what he does.
independant_786@reddit
Rofl he literally couldn't recall even one phrase and told it was a personal thing 😂
MHJ03@reddit
So infuriating
Low_Yam_4761@reddit
No
SuretyBringsRuin@reddit
While the city takes it up the ass in letting his church expand tax free, he’s sucking on the orange mushroom gulping down the cultist bullshit only to spread it to more idiot followers.
Go figure.
