"I think I'm going to listen to God's word rather than the WHO when it comes to worship," said Jeffress, a senior pastor at the 14,000-member First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas."We can be socially distanced, we can practice good safety matters, but we can't shut down. And as the Bible says, we need to obey God rather than man. A pastor has a responsibility to keep his church safe, but also to keep it open.
Jeffress said a fellow pastor is instructing their congregation to label Thanksgiving celebrations a"funeral for a turkey," because the government is less likely to enforce attendance restrictions on a funeral than a religious service. Cuomo and Dr. Hans Kluge, regional director of WHO's Europe office, were two of the"leftist" leaders included in the Fox Business duo's complaints Sunday. Cuomo is currently embroiled in a Supreme Court challenge by the Roman Catholic diocese of Brooklyn for places attendance restrictions on churches while keeping"essential" businesses such as grocery and big-box stores open.
Jeffress, a Texan, agreed with Dobbs that Cuomo would be"run out of the state of Texas" if he tried to limit or shut down houses of worship in the Southern state. He touted Trump for ending the COVID-19 pandemic"sooner rather than later" through Operation Warp Speed's development of a vaccine. Jeffress said he wants to"make sure the Constitution is a survivor and not a casualty of the China virus.
Robert, may Darwin get you.
God isn’t stupid. He is everywhere and doesn’t want people crowding into churches. Just pray. He will hear you.
Anyone who attends your church and catches covid should be allowed to sue. On the other hand people who disregard the recommendations should not receive treatment for covid infections.
Has God spoken to him really i would like to get God's cell so I can talk to him myself in person on speaker phone so the world can hear too.
I still listen to The Who. Who Are You is still a great album dude!
Praise the lord pastor Jeffries I’m with you
Good luck with that!
Go ahead listen.
Call me Captain Obvious, but it's really manipulative to imply that Trump(or any political figure for that matter) was elected to fulfill a divine duty, as if said political figure is a prophet or something.
UROCKlive1 No, sir. You are listening to your own voice.
OMG Many 🙏 needed!
Pastor, do not use God’s name in vain.
Really a stupid fool.
Next they’ll be back to 1700s “medicine is bad because it subverts the will of god” BS
He is more than welcome to go out there without safety precautions and get himself infected. Just like every other ignorant person so far.
Pretty sure you aren’t listening to God! He’d say I gave you scientists you didn’t listen, I gave you a mask you didn’t use it, I gave you drs & nurses again you didn’t listen; not only that you told other’s not to listen , you’re responsible for those lives & what happens next!
When did becoming a pastor mean a decrease in intelligence and common sense?
Even you don’t believe that lie you just said!
Not a problem. When he’s on a ventilator & getting ready to check out, just make sure he gets his last tights.
Church donation are really down right
im pretty sure jesus didn’t wear an expensive suit and tie, neither he lived in an expensive house like that idiot who’s supposed to follow his example
This guy is right up there with Trump’s spiritual advisor who speaks in tongues.
WHO has never done anything for the US. One way street. I am so happy we do not belong anymore.
Better listening to the WHO
These pastors take people for fools . Take there hard earned money and life a life of Riley .
Who is up for a little Eminence Front (it's a put on)
Franklin Graham wears Polo these mega rich pastors only care about themselves Christianity is a joke
You better listen harder. God would not want you to make people sick, he was a healer
Masks, social distancing, and sanitation. Otherwise you are stupid and responsible.
Well, then, with any luck Pastor Jeffress will soon be speaking to God in person.
UROCKlive1 Good..I hope they all cough & hug each other & get covid..it’ll be a sign from their gawd that the world health organization really should be regarded w respect..I’m thinking this whole “gawd will protect them from covid” is just another way to keep those donations flowing.
Let his “God” (himself) guides him. Nobody cares.
Can't believe as a outsider to US, that USA got such morons as preachers! Wither education of such elaborated US institutes?
Un-American behavior is that way until US leaders can redirect. Happy Thanksgiving USA♡!
Your god is waiting for you
You might be having a one on one talk with God in about 3 weeks.
Did God not cause and spread the virus? Poor planning on Gods part.
The old saying applies...
He has a direct line
“6 Things to Do When Hiring a Freelancer.” by Calder Umoeka

I am so sick of these Bible thumpers. And the cult keeps sending these idiots money.
Another Judas Goat Leading his Flock to Slaughter.
Oh I’m pretty sure God hasn’t ever spoken to Republicans. Seems to always be the... other guy... talking to and through them.
The Lord is my PAYCHECK, follow and you Shall be Saved. ☮️💚🇺🇸💪👊🤬
We will wait for the post holiday Covid-19 infection statements where Pastor and family tell us Covid is real and should not be taken lightly 🤷🏽♂️
I hate that these people are put on tv to spread their bs.
Lock him up!
UROCKlive1 Imagine being such a narcissist that you think that any god speaks to YOU. Blows my mind that people like this are still believed by others.
Perhaps he’ll meet his god soon
Maybe the IRS should start saying Taxes over Exemption. ☮️💚🇺🇸💪👊🤬
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord, thy God.
Anyone would like to have an expert in neuro surgeon or a pastor to perform surgery on your brain? Time to stop being a moron. These speeches about rejecting the recommendations of science experts, kill people.
How long do you stay at church and how London does it take you to buy pet food or wine
Easier for a camel to pass the eye of a needle than a rich man getting into heaven. Jeffries is said to be worth $17,000,000. Sooo while people die from not wearing a mask this person who makes money speaking of infinite unconditional love and healing scorns what we can do masks!
Did anyone ask the good pastor which god he was referring to? Was it the God of the bible or the god evangelicals have made of trump?
The Christian God I read about was very concerned with protecting your brethren. Where a goddamn mask.
What is God saying?
This ole lying hustler will say anything to get your money!
Pete Townsend will be so upset.
Listen 🎧 to TheWho Pastor Pastries 🥮🤟🏻
I have news for him. God's not talking to him.
Lordy, we have ourselves another religious leader with a narrow minded thought process. Pastor Robert Jeffress is nothing more than, a man.
Keep on helping to kill people. Such a good ministry. I’m sure you’re worried your collection plate won’t be as full.
Locked in his own thinking box along with others who think exactly the same way. Poor man, I really do feel for him, stuck in the Pre-Luddite days of the 18th Century. 'Zoom' / 'Teams' / has the facility to answer his prayers.
Well, he's about to get the chance to listen to God a whole lot closer.
The sooner these types of humans are gone the sooner mankind will progress as a specie.
He clearly is not listening very well. Don't kill.
Grim Reaper loves a fake Christian.
But... god created the WHO right?
husky_sounds
Death Cult leader says what?
Willful ignorance is Robert’s master. Many ppl are continuing to participate in religious activities despite COVID19. Has he never heard of Zoom/Facebook? In 2020 you can even give tithes/offerings via PayPal,money transfer and USPS. Who woulda thought?!Improvising is key!
I was listening too, on the extension & that's NOT what was said. 'God helps those who help themselves' & that means take care or yourself & your loved ones. WHERE A DAMN MASK & Celebrate 'Thanksgiving' by being thankful you or your family is NOT sick or dead from Covid-19.
And yet God made this
Really ... fascinating. You or I might think he’s delusional, but I’m sure there are people who just nod in agreement with him. Before sending him money.
Lets lock them all in the church ..come back 14 days later.. You know 'it is what it is'!
God wants him to buy a new private jet.
robertjeffress should know that Christians should never put themselves in mortal danger to celebrate holidays. That is what false prophets tell you to do. “Thou shalt not temp the Lord your God.” That means don’t put yourself in danger thinking God will protect you. He won’t!
So by your logic it should be equally “unconstitutional” to require families to keep sick kids separated from healthy ones. Why have rules? Why force guns to have a safety? Bible says in Cor. 13 to follow the laws of the land. It also says not to tempt the Lord w/ foolishness.
Idiot
Its all about the money folks, nothing else!
Gods telling you to listen to the scientists
The 'WHO' are great,aren't they?...:)
God told me to tell Jeffers to FO, oh and He also said He is sick and tired of people asking for prom dresses and football-team wins!
Anyone taking bets on how soon he dies from COVID...
robertjeffress Maybe you should be listening to the WHO or The Dead, it might transform you into an enlightened human.
That's a mistake...
And what is god exactly saying?
UROCKlive1 🙄😳🤬
He is listening to his bloody auditory hallucinations. Psychotic people think their hallucinations ate real. This guy needs to be on antipsychotic meds After all, what God would create a being graced with a brain then tell the being not to use it?
Tax the churches.
God is talking; you’re not listening.
What a moron. God speaks to us through the WHO and other experts.
Grifters will always have a place on Faux News.
RAJUBIKRAMCHAM3
So stupid. What's wrong with those people. A bad education system?
He gives Believers a bad name
STabbytosavit May you meet the fate you deserve.
Anyone who calls himself a PASTOR....has restrictions which he will not obey...most likely
STabbytosavit When did God say 'that shalt direct your parishioners to infect their elderly relatives and germ them unto death'?
I'm listening to my doctor....
Which God is he listening to, the white one or the Jewish one?
Can we bring back smoting? God This little pr1ck is getting people killed, on purpose and I believe that's called murder
Let's see how he is doing in two weeks.
This reminds me of the the man who wouldn't leave his house in a flood because God would save him. And when he got to heaven God said 'I sent you a flood warning, a fireman to knock on your door and an air rescue team. Why didn't you use the help I set you. I sent a lot.
He's got a crystal palace to pay for. His flock are happy to die for better digs for him.
The Who rocks, every one should listen to them.
This is so vile as states acknowledge their ICU units are full or staff is out quarantining or sick with COVID.
Perpetual_Now You gone be up there WITH God if you keep listening to these fake pastors... Or DOWN there with the devil... Anyway.. you gone meet your maker.
I thought he was talking about The Who! Lol.
It's like the parable of the guy who is in the flood and 3 boats come by to see if he needs help and he tells them 'No thanks, God will save me.' Then he dies and when he gets to heaven he asks God why he did not save him and God is like, 'I sent you 3 fucking boats you idiot!'
last I checked God wasn't endorsing stupid but he did give us the knowledge to make the best choices for humanity
Assisted homicide? FoxNews
Further, by your argument, you would trust to G-d to fix your car or your plumbing, instead of getting a professional or fixing it yourself. Same with COVID19 & using a mask. Remember the allegory about the man in the flood? G-d uses tools, just like we do. Or so I've read.
Perpetual_Now No he’s not. “Love others as you love yourself”, those are God’s words.
This Pastor will be dead before MLK Day. Christmas Covid will take him out. Not trying to be a jerk, just stating the facts.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say NOT to go to doctors or use medicine. It mentions bandages, salves, physicians. Luke, 'the beloved physician.' In 2 Chronicles, the man's problem was NOT that he went to physicians; he ONLY went to physicians & didn't look to his faith, TOO.
Perpetual_Now Gee....GOD didn’t do so well for 256,000 Americans....what a DOPE!
Listening won't help, understanding will!
Just b/c people can't meet physically at your church doesn't mean your church isn't open--esp. with all the ways there are to connect these days w/ media. These lame ministers apparently have no creativity at all, which really makes me question their ability to 'listen' to God.
Oh please. This pharisee wouldn't know God if he was stuck in a paper bag with him. He 'listens' to trump who is NOT God, regardless of what the qoolaid freak thinks.
But then doesn’t give Newt Gingrich a regular space to spew bullshit? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at top flight garbage journalism, yeah?
Tell him to prove that it's God he's hearing, and not the product of his diseased mind
So where does G-d say 'don't listen to doctors'? Where does G-d say 'don't wear a mask'? You DO know that most of the restrictions in the Old Testament, dietary & hygiene, were to promote HEALTH? Frequent baths, no pork or shellfish (often undercooked, leading to parasites).
Who is he fooling? He’s listening to the cash register.
ToyoyoToy robertjeffress is corrupt and evil. He speaks no truth. Just a Pharisee who will be turned out of his temple and his money tables upturned.
UROCKlive1 He missed all the times the bible said to seek (and practice) wisdom.
Throw him in jail 😳
Wackadoodle Pastor says what?
UROCKlive1 Roger Daltrey thanks you!
ResistTheReset
Sooo God told him to have a regular Thanksgiving get together, huh? God:
Pastor Bob Pastor Bob!
He’s listening to the crazy voices in his head...
He’s talking to imaginary friends. Holy shit.
UROCKlive1 Sermon title: Meet your Maker, ASAP.
UROCKlive1 What? Baba O'Riley rocks!
UROCKlive1 He’s second on my bingo card now
UROCKlive1 Great - thanks for overwhelming the hospitals here in Dallas - record high cases again yesterday 2000
Umm....Rev. Warnock would like a word...🙄
robertjeffress - Does God deal with businesses? I don't think God wants to. His job is to teach our community to embrace each other more than money and power.
If 'Pastor' Robert Jeffress really listened to God, he would know that God does not endorse fake U.S. holidays based on events that never happened.
You should be ashamed of yourself No way should you be a pastor, or rather maybe you're really not!!!!
He can ask God for treatment when he’s infected. Doctors should refuse to treat him.
this guy needs to be locked up
Rebellion is a major sin PASTOR.... Stay home for awhile and use your time wisely and reread the Bible!!!
We'll see this same photo next month when they tell us he died from Covid.
You should!
And by I’m listening to god, the pastor means I need people in church so that they will give me their money & my parishioners health and well being means nothing to me.
Say your goodbyes now then.
I do believe Pete Townsend would tell him to cancel the shindig
Dead man walking.
We most likely already know how his next headline will read.
Then, Pastor Dumb Ass doesn’t deserve medical treatment when he catches it. “God” can see him through.
Funny how their god thinks exactly like they do
My son -n-law, whose mother believes God will protect her, told her he can't protect you from your own ignorance.
Stupid is as stupid does
UROCKlive1 You'll be able to tell him in person if you keep this insanity up.
God would want you to love your neighbor! Not go around spreading Covid!!
God already told him to love his neighbor as himself and to esteem others greater than himself and in so far as possible to submit to human authorities. But, guess he’s holding out for a recount
I thought at first his is what he meant:
Way to render to Caesar, asshole.
So God wants to build a wall against the very people he created?
UROCKlive1 If he is listening to DEAD PEOPLE, he needs to be COMMITTED! That is not normal.
Dip shit false Christian
UROCKlive1 What was God telling Gerald Glenn, Landon Spradlin, Wayne Weaver, Joe Smith...?
Matthew 7:21-23 'Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day...
UROCKlive1 If he’s hearing from God, he needs psychiatric help.
God gave the scientists the knowledge so, in essence, by rebuking the gift God gave them, is he not rebuking God? Discuss amongst yourselves.
UROCKlive1 bahahahaha!!!! thoughts and prayers from covid
Pastor Bob may be meeting his God sooner rather than later then.
'Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's'.
And the Covid-19 pandemic rages on without religious sense or direction.
So if your adherents get the 'rona, that will be his message to you that you fucked up?
Prepare for Christmas and New year funerals then.
UROCKlive1 I thought G-d helps those who help themselves. And maybe he needs to read less Bible and more Charles Darwin. IBelieveInScience
When a grown man claims to know things he simply cannot and does not know.
Will mask be optional at the funerals
So how many is Pastor Jeffress willing to sacrifice, that's what I am wondering.
Auditory hallucinations are not a good sign. Yikes 😬 May wanna get that checked out buddy.
I'd be very concerned if you think God is speaking to you 🥴
200,000+ people are dead but apparently God hasn’t made his point yet 🙄😂😂😂
Ah yes, the high holy day of (checks notes) Thanksgiving?
God is telling you to chill out
Well, God is testing him and he has failed that test.
God has Twitter and made announcements that its safe
Ridiculous!!!!
Somebody cares more for money than being Christian to your fellow humans!
Any so-called Christian who supports Trump in any capacity is a blaspheming hypocrite and a fool.
Gods saying to put people in jeopardy, I don’t think so.
God speaks through the WHO, pastor.
Bunk.
More proof there's no cure for stupid
This right here is part of the problem! God didn’t say to be stupid.. 🤷🏽♀️
It sounds like listening to his hallucinations. I don't believe WHO fully either but it might be better than expedient God that doesn't exist.
In this day and age does he really think God is talking to him? Years ago they’d put people in straitjackets for less.
God helps those who help themselves. We learned that in religion 101.
of course you are hypocrite
Can someone help me please: where in the Bible does it say that only US people must celebrate Thanksgiving, and that they MUST celebrate Thanksgiving even if it results in them spreading a fatal disease that kills their less resistant friends and relatives? Chapter and verse...?
So, he pretends God talks to him? Wouldn’t that be heresy? Oh, and wait, there are idiots who believe him too? Crazy world we live in.
Who are you
Crazy how God always wants exactly what you want at the exact same time you want it.
Mentally disabled.
Dear crazy person, if that is your line of thinking please remember that god also made everything on Earth that can kill you. In this game The Pastor card does not beat the Science card.
Nice knowing ya Pastor.
People have been institutionalized for less.
Sorry, God had a quick chat with this guy?
255k dead...God has spoken!!! How much more of a hint do you need
😡
robertjeffress is not a good prophet of Jesus or God. HE'S A RECKLESS FOOL WHO BILKS PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY.
Don’t knock it. I’ve been listening to the WHO since 1970. Essential rock. Pioneers
pastor robert is a knuckle head
Who thinks God told Jeffress to infect more Americans with Covid in his name?
😆😆😆
If there were actual separation of church and state he’d go to jail, plain and simple.
Obviously, whatever they're doing in the face of medical science, it's certainly not working. Except, when someone of their elk gets sick, then they all beg for the best treatment real medical experts have to offer. Apart from the shameless hypocrisy, it's insane.
FakeChristians
When did you see him last?
It’s all about the money!
Two of my next door neighbors have been in the hospital with Covid for a month. Shame on him for saying he's speaking for God. He's speaking for profit.
Other pastors refused to voluntarily comply & people in the congregation caught the Coronavirus. God gave us a brain to make choices. God also put scientists & doctors on earth for us to listen to. There’s nothing wrong with wearing a mask while listening to the word.
God must’ve called him stupid
Americans............pretty low on the intelligence scale.
God will speak to you in person soon.
During a hurricane priest in his church. Policeman tells him u should leave father. No, God needs me to stay. Water level rises,firefigher,father u need to leave.Water rises more. Soldier, father....leave. Priest meets God ,why didn't you send me a sign? God, I sent 3.
Pastor Jeffries: God gave humans medical experts to allow us to worship Him and not expose untold numbers to an unprecedented deadly virus.
I just spoke with God. He said he has no use for you robertjeffress
Idiot
Religion leads us astray, so I’m going to listen the Who’s Live at Leeds. You should too. Greatest live album EVER. (No exaggeration.)
He needs that offering plate. That’s all he wants. Cares not at all about the people
Prayers for you and your family. You’ll need prayers.
How about the doctors and nurses that will have to stay up all night when you arrive at theirs sick
He is going to kill people. I hope he asks God for forgiveness for his vanity and pride. And the killing people part.
What a shill...
Well I wish they wouldn’t rely on doctors and nurses when they get sick...
covidiot !
Famous last words 2020.😬
But what if God is telling you by way of the WHO. Everyone knows the story of the lady on the roof during the flood. God sent her help multiple times through men, and she ended up dead in heaven, asking God why didn't help.
Dear Jeffress, it’s Covid-19 or coronavirus, not China virus. But considering you’re in Trump’s White House, not a surprise that you would call it the China virus
God famously enjoys slaughtering humans in job lots, so yeah, this take tracks.
But TheWho is a great band!
Oh dear 🙄
You know, when anyone but a pastor claims to literally hear god speaking to them, we recognize megalomania or a break with reality.
Will the good pastor go to El Paso and resurrect some victims?
Two adjectives come to my mind...irresponsible and selfish. I pray for him and his ignorance as hospital beds are filling up and the pool of medical personnel is being depleted.
He's listening to his ego. God doesn't talk to fools and racists
God gave you head, hands and legs. Don’t bother god for everything because of your laziness or ur inability to use what god has already given.Unless he forgot to give you little brain in your head(which might be the case here).In that case I should protest to god when u talk2him
And may the plague take him and his idiot parishioners..
robertjeffress you’ll be listening to him a whole lot sooner than you think if you keep holding services.
He will meet him really soon, then.
COVIDIOTS
Uh...............stupid man.
Good let him and his follwers get covid and l wanna know who he'll blame. It won't be god or chump.
- Jesus weeps
Bye bye
I'm sorry, this is just ignorant, insensitive, and deadly now. 😞
How many will does listening to this wrong advise?! Criminal 😢😢😢
Every religion is destroyed by twisted heads like these. Because they claim themselves as custodian of religion & are everything wrong with respective religions and they repel more people than attract inspite of every religion having many good things. These ppl shud b kicked out
Flip too...ten days later: dead.
Idiot.
When Jeffress listens to God he hears “Cha-Ching.”
That's not god, that's your accountant.
When Drjeffress gets sick - cancer, food poisoning, or even just the flu...I *PROMISE* you he'll do more than just pray for it to go away. Which makes him either an infidel or a hypocrit. Probably both. Regardless, endangering the public by ignoring health orders s/b criminal.
JFC. And people wonder why the “liberal elite” call these people stupid. The answer is: they are.
Do not admit this man to a hospital when he gets Covid
And God says Robert you one hollow cistern
Close the churches until vaccinations 🗽🇺🇸
I'm sure you're listening to voices in your head, but they're not God's. God blocks you.
What did God tell ya?
Jesus has a squeeze box
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard
The Who? As in Horton or Roger Daltry?
What an idiot
'Surely I am too stupid to be human.' Proverbs 30: 2-4
Why give this dangerous asshole a platform?
This is why religion is, for lack of a better term, blind stupidity. Thanksgiving is bad enough, as it “celebrates”the mass genocide of native tribes to eat turkey which has zero to do with God.🙄 2020:“celebrating” genocide for the sake of genocide via Covid Gross & Selfish AF
That’s funny, God personally told me to listen to WHO. Prove she didn’t.
The people who tell you God is in your heart and not in a building are saying God wants to expose you to a deadly virus in a building. It's all about the money. That's all. Empty churches mean fewer donations. Evil.
God spoke to me last nite and told me 'Pastor Robert Jeffress is full of shit' and, oh yes, he also said 'stay home and wear a mask when you go out'. God's word!
God have you a got damned brain didn’t she (he)? Fkn use it!
Has “god” ever told him to do something that wasn’t in his own financial interest?
Son of Sam listened to a barking dog.
robertjeffress covid doesn't care about the voices in your head.
these religious con men are so disgusting, magical jeeeezuz would certainly visit his vengeance on these filth
Is that the same god that allows a virus to kill millions of human beings whilst also allowing a malignant narcissistic sexual abusing corrupt serial lier rise to the position of POTUS and so bring American democracy to the verge of collapse. That god? Evangelicals GOPTraitors
realDonaldTrump Evangelicals in UnitedStates are clearly Not true Christians. Bible leads No other option than to fight heresy in whitehouse & converted Christianity to an infidel idol & dancing around the golden calf of greed instead greatness.
God doesn’t like selfish. Isn’t that what that bible says.
He doesn't think God's talking to him through scientists?
