Dr. Jeffress responds to question about Open Border Advocates infiltration of Evangelical institutions including the Southern Baptist Convention.
Southern Baptist Pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress said open borders advocates are promoting teachings contrary to the Bible. Jeffress is pastor of the historic First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas. Dr. Jeffress said the Bible teaches nations and borders in Acts 17.
He made the comments in response to a question about reports of George Soros money influencing evangelical churches stance on immigration. Dr. Jeffress promoted borders on the Tuesday edition of the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
Todd Starnes asked,
“Dr. Jeffress before we let you go, there has been a lot of talk in the evangelical world about the open borders crowd, about whether or not George Soros money may have been used to infiltrate many evangelical churches including Southern Baptist churches with this open borders agenda. Do you have any concerns? Do you have any concerns that George Soros money may be corrupting some of these ministries?
Dr. Jeffress replied,
“I don’t have any information about that, so I can’t speak to that. But what I can speak to is the whole philosophy of open borders is absolutely contrary to the teaching of the Bible. The Bible says in Acts 17 God has created the boundaries in which we live. The idea of multiple nations instead of one nation is God’s idea and to promote open borders is to absolutely be antithetical to the teaching of the Bible. I can say that with certainty.”
Powerful.
Why are other Southern Baptists presenting mixed messages on border security? Thankfully, Dr. Jeffress is standing strong against the Evangelical Elites.
The interview with Jeffress covered other issues. Dr. Jeffress addressed the big story of the day—impeachment. Dr. Jeffress explained the real reason for the “hoax impeachment trial.” Dr. Jeffress said, “The president is being impeached, not because of Ukraine..but because he committed two unpardonable sins in the eyes of the Democrats. Number one, he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016. And number two, he is fulfilling every campaign promise.”
I do not think that Christ was concerned with physical borders of a country – either open or closed, but, first and foremost, with the Spiritual integrity of Israel (Matthew 15 : 22-29) and, when that did not fly, the Salvation of infinite incarnate Individuals passing through the crucible of Mankind.
The Apostle Paul, on the other hand, imported a kind of internationalism by how he went all over the ancient world preaching The Gospel and setting up churches in an egalitarian manner that did not take into account one’s blood, nationality, or culture.
As to the Tanakh, or the Jewish bible that we Christians regard as our 1st Testament, one only need read Nehemiah to see the pertinence and validity of walls, or, if you wish – ‘borders’.
In any case, I thank Pastor Jeffress so much for having found the courage to openly challenge the Soros-One World Order usurped crowd.
In the story of the Tower of Babel, God created diverse nations and languages.
I do not want the SBC to go liberal.
Darryl, it’s too late. They already have gone liberal.
Dr. Jeffress is correct. The study on Borders and Separation begin with “remove not the ancient landmarks” and continue right on through Revelation. 2 Corinthians 6:17a “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate (To set off by boundary), saith the Lord”. Why? To protect the people of God. Do your research. Scripture has a lot to say about being physically separate.
