Jeffress: is completely "W"rong.

The pastor has no idea of what he is talking about. If he is calling Mormons a 'cult' then he is calling his own DENOMINATION a cult. There are many denominations in the Protestant faith. There are Anglicans, Methodists and the best example of a denomination that runs a parallel to the Mormon faith is Lutheran.  The Lutheran had their own founder as well and were very controversial for a long time.

The FACT and proper word to describe the many, many denominations in the Protestant faithful is SCHISM.


Also, on the Book of Mormon of which I have read; it is the spiritual equivalent of The Army Field Manual as Mormons base their faith in service, so therefore, they have a book separate from the Bible that provides the guidance the founder was attempting to achieve.

Schisms happen all the time, especially in the Protestant faith   Jeffress is dead wrong   John Huntsman is completely correct in that Jeffress is a moron on this fact.  He is a moron in regard to Article Six of the Constitution of the USA.  Article Six IS THE LAW OF THE LAND.  It is highly illegal to expect people to place a man of religious PREFERENCE in office for that purpose alone.

Jeffress is a subversive and will use any means available to achieve his goal.  Just that simple.
