Anderson Cooper interviews Pastor Robert Jeffress, the guy who called Mormonism a “Cult”
Via Mediaite…
Jeffress keeps on keepin’ on…
evangelical christians do not follow teachings of christ. they hate and monger
that’s a very cultish thing of you to say mormon
Jeffress gives all other “Christians” a very bad name. He got owned by Cooper, and can’t even defend himself.
listening to guys like jeffress just reconfirms how correct mormons are.
I LOVE what my friend Steve said about the attempt to marginalize Mormons as non-Christian: “It’s as transparent as a macho man saying another guy that plays the cello isn’t a man because he doesn’t like macho stuff like football or guns. The cello player is still a man, just not the definition set up by macho man. People with an open heart are not persuaded by transparent efforts to marginalize like this.”
Evangelical Christians believe Rick Perry is the best pick because he supports strong marriages more than Mitt Romney? Does this clown Jeffress have any idea what Mormonism is all about? STRONG MARRIAGES! What a ridiculous, ignorant SOB. Jeffress is a fool and I can’t believe 10,000 people actually listen to him every Sunday. And if I were Rick Perry, I would be embarrassed to admit that I know Jeffress, much less that we are good buddies. I thought all this false trash talk against the LDS faith was over the last time Romney ran. Unbelievable!
The Articles of Faith
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
Thank you for sharing the 13 Articles of Faith. They truly state that “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” (Mormons) are truly Christians.
The big problem with Mormons proclaiming themselves as “Christians” is a little book called “the Bible.” At best, Mormonism is not in line with historical church doctrine.
Only faith in Christ saves. Works cannot lead to salvation. There is no other canon other than the Old and New Testament. End of issue.
“It is not our purpose to demean any person’s belief nor the doctrine of any religion. We extend to all the same respect for their doctrine that we are asking for ours. (That, too, is an article of our faith.) But if one says we are not Christians because we do not hold a fourth- or fifth-century view of the Godhead, then what of those first Christian Saints, many of whom were eyewitnesses of the living Christ, who did not hold such a view either? 7 “

I think things like this are the reason so many people out there debate and struggle getting along with each other. It’s so easy now a days to pick people apart for stupid sh1t like “he is not a competent christian.” I wonder if Backer has even talked with Romney, even small talk with him. It’s too much for me to handle.
I’d like to thank my boyfriend, Austin, for sharing this video with me. Perry and this guy are losers.
your name is brian, and you’re thanking austin. your boyfriend. that’s odd..
To: I am a Mormon
Hey, don’t forget the ‘secretive’ article of faith that Mormons believe in an infinite # of Gods, and that he lives on the planet named ‘Kolob’, and that humans can also become ‘Gods’ and make their own universes…That ‘technically’ could start sounding A BIT cult-ish in many mainstream Christians minds…Don’t cry too much, now….
im not sure were you get all of your facts, but the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints do not have “secret” articles of faith, if you wish to learn about The beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints then check this out,
http://lds.org/plan/our-eternal-life?lang=eng
If you’d like to learn about the church, I recommend you reading sources OTHER THAN what the church spurns out.
Are you trying to deny that your religion DOESN’T believe the things I outlined? And yes, those beliefs ARE secret. No one ever hears about them in the discussions before baptism, nor within a year of conversion. The house of cards comes tumbling down shortly after when the true ‘hogwash’ is revealed, usually by one’s own studies. Hope you maintain some comfort in your denial…
JS above says: “If you’d like to learn about the church, I recommend you reading sources OTHER THAN what the church spurns out…And yes, those beliefs [which ones?] ARE secret.”
You, JS, are a sad example of proud ignorance on parade. Obviously, for some inexplicable reason, the ONLY “sources” you have checked out are ANTI-MORMON sources. I suggest that, instead of spending your time obsessing about and hating Mormons, you spend that time working on some self-improvement/self-esteem projects. Seriously. You’ll be happier, more productive, kinder and gentler. Yes, you might even be inclined to be a more…well, a more CHRIST-like person.
The biggest ANTI-MORMON source is the bible….
Oh, and could you, JS, provide a list, for the less-enlightened among us, of those “OTHER SOURCES” you’ve read, which are no doubt overflowing with facts and documented evidence? We’ll be anxiously awaiting. Thanks, Love ya.
Oh, that’s right, anything that speaks against the Mormon religion is automatically ANTI. Nope, no unbiased sources out there at all, that’s right…OH, and we all have hate in our heart too, forgot about that.
Almost comical reading the classic apologetic mantra. Enough with the Ad Hominem attacks, sparky. I think you should spend less time getting butt-hurt about your religion, and maybe speaking to someone about that sensitivity problem you have when people question your faith…
Oh, and start off with ‘Under the Banner of Heaven’ if you want an accurate history of the Mormon church. OH DAMMIT, that’s probably anti-Mormon in your eyes, lol…Give it up, dude…
Thanks, Love ya too. Condescending dork….jeesh…Real Christ-like reply you gave…
*JS removes size 12 foot from JMK’s mouth, pats him on head, and whispers in his ear “It’s all true, brother, no worries, it’s all true….”
The Mormons very own manual given to new recruits, Gospel Essentials – Exaltation Chapter Mormons will become Gods, if they are faithful, temple-worthy, and married.
Interesting,this chapter never is “taught” the cycle ends, but the doctrine is there for all to read. Based on DC 132 and statements of several prophets.
Mormons become Gods – not mentioned in the Article of Faith. It is interesting to note that Joe Smith wrote these articles to a newspaper as a form of propaganda to counter “misperceptions” of the cult.
Lacking is polygamy – Joe has many wives at this point.
Lacking Mormons become Gods. A half-truth is a lie. Mormons are notorious liars.
Thank you Anderson Cooper for your interview with the Pastor. You are amazing. All the other TV people, mostly on Fox News, never really stood up to Jeffress’s comments or corrected him regarding Romney being a Christian. I have mostly listened to Fox News in the past but I will now for sure watch your show. You are Wonderful. Thank You

LDS a “cult”? What about the “rapture”?
by Bruce Rockwell
Mitt Romney, a Mormon, is “not a Christian” and Mormonism is a “cult,” according to Rev. Robert Jeffress, pastor of the Dallas (TX) First Baptist Church.
His “cult” remark is based on his belief that the Latter Day Saints church (which didn’t exist before 1830) is outside “the mainstream of Christianity.”
But Jeffress hypocritically promotes the popular evangelical “rapture” (theologically the “any-moment pretribulation rapture”) which is outside mainstream Christianity (Google “Pretrib Rapture Politics”) and which also didn’t exist before 1830 (Google “Pretrib Rapture Diehards” and “Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty”)!
And there are 50 million American rapture cultists (some of whom turn Wikipedia into Wicked-pedia by constantly distorting the real facts about the rapture’s bizarre, 181-year-old history) compared with only 14 million LDS members.
The most accurate documentation on the history of the same escapist rapture belief is found in the not-for-profit nonfiction book “The Rapture Plot” carried by online bookstores. The same 300-page work can also be borrowed through inter-library loan at any library.
Even if it is not by definition a “cult” Mormonism is racist..darker the skin the more evil the person. Also who cares. No one has to respect someone ones religion
Hmmm. Can you tell us, “Mitt Homo”, why those of you among the most ignorant are those most willing and anxious to advertise it on these posts?
Ad Hominem attacks again….JMK, can you tell us how members of your ilk are always the least Christ-like when replying to challenges of your faith? Love ya, buddy. lol…
The word Southern in Southern Baptist Convention stems from its having been founded and rooted in the Southern United States. The SBC became a separate denomination in 1845 in Augusta, Georgia, following a regional split with northern Baptists over the issues of slavery. After the American Civil War, another split occurred: most black Baptists in the South separated from white churches and set up their own congregations.
Any religion that says you have to wear special underwear is a cult. Any religion that kicks out family members for rejecting mormonism is a cult. True Christianity teaches to love everyone even if they reject God.
From Joseph Smith:
“We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see. These are incomprehensible ideas to some, but they are simple. It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the Character of God, and to know that we may converse with him as one man converses with another, and that he was once a man like us; yea, that God the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did, and I will show it from the Bible”
(Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp.345-346. Italics in original).
Joseph taught that God was a man like us at one time, but reached this spiritual level of godness and then became God.
Not Scriptural. Not true. Cult.
Careful Chakam, you might get JMK upset, because you undoubtedly got that from ‘anti-mormon’ sources…Dang it, foiled again! =)
Good quote, man, says a lot..
JS,
Not worried. JMK is just another deceived person. I’ve seen worse.
I enjoy it when the founder of Mormonism makes my case for me. Joseph Smith’s words, and the words of his earliest followers, make for great ammo in the fight against Mormon cultism. Can you say “irony”?
