Pastor Robert Jeffress says majority of people are going to hell

Pastor Robert Jeffress, who hosts the programme "Pathway to Victory," did not have good news to share during his sermon entitled "The Resurrection That Awaits Us."

He began by saying that animals don't have spirits, so everybody's favourite furry companions are definitely gone when they're dead. "Solomon says in Ecclesiastes 3:19-21, 'Here's how we're different. The animal has no spirit, but man has a spirit that descends to heaven even after he dies,'" Jeffress says. "That's how we're different from the animals."

He says people have spirits and have been promised eternal life. But whether or not this eternity will be in heaven or in hell depends on how people live their lives right now.

"Everybody's spirit lives forever. Doesn't matter what you believe — Jew, Atheist, Muslim, Catholic, Baptist —everybody's going to live forever. Some are going to live forever in heaven with God. Others — the majority of people— are going to live in hell, separated from God," Jeffress says.

Jeffress, who is a staunch supporter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, earlier said Christians need to cast their votes for the business magnate this coming election because the cause of evangelicals depends on it.

He said during an interview on the radio programme Right Wing Watch that those who remain committed to opposing Trump are simply "weak," "namby-pamby" and too "proud" because they "can't get over the fact that their candidate didn't win" in the Republican primary.

The pastor even quoted the Bible verse Mark 3:25, which says, "If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand."

Because of this, Jeffress said it's important for Christians to "get off the fence" and "vote their convictions" this coming election day. Granted, Jeffress said, that Trump is "not exactly like us" evangelical Christians, but "at least he likes us."

He added that Trump will be unlike current President Barack Obama, who he believes "hates" conservative Christians based on his actions, including his support for the LGBT agenda and abortion. On the other hand, Trump will back conservative Christians and will even "appoint conservative justices to the Supreme Court," Jeffress said.
