President Trump has chosen Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, to deliver the inaugural prayer at the opening of the relocated U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. In light of his preaches, Jeffress is about the last person one would choose to lead a prayer in the Jewish state.

Jeffress preaches that:

“Not only do religions like Mormonism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism – not only do they lead people away from God, they lead people to an eternity of separation from God in hell. … Hell is not only going to be populated by murderers, and drug dealers, and child molesters; hell is going to be filled with good religious people who have rejected the truth of Christ.

Three greatest Jews in the New Testament" – Jesus, Peter and Paul – had all said that Judaism was not the path to salvation. They all said Judaism won't do it, it's faith in Jesus Christ.”

The Southern Baptist preacher has also called Catholicism the “genius of Satan.” Jeffress has also said that “Hitler was part of God’s plan.” What plan … the extermination of the Jewish people?

Former presidential contender and now a candidate for the senate from Utah, Mitt Romney is pissed off over the appointment of Jeffress because the preacher included Mormons among the groups that are going to Hell. Romney referred to Jeffress as a “religious bigot.”

Choosing a preacher who sermonizes that Jews are going to Hell, to deliver a prayer in the Jewish state defines chutzpah. What in hell was Trump thinking?
