First Baptist Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffress 'honored' by inclusion in 'Melania' film
Jeffress told The Christian Post on Monday he didn’t even know he was in the movie until after its release. The night of the premiere for “Melania,” Jeffress said he was attending a private event in West Palm Beach when his “phone started blowing up with text messages from people who had been at the premiere the first night of the film, saying, "You're in it. You're in it."
Jeffress recalled asking them, "’What are you talking about?’ And they said, ‘The new documentary on Melania.’"
Despite being caught off guard by the news, Jeffress said his inclusion in the film was an honor.
On Jan. 31, Jeffress urged his followers on social media to go see “Melania” and called it a “great movie everyone who loves our country should see!”
Jeffress said wherever she may be on her journey, he believes both the president and first lady are “very sincere in their belief in the power and the importance of prayer,” adding, “I’ve had the opportunity to pray for them publicly and in smaller gatherings, and they have always welcomed that and sometimes have requested it.”
He recalled one candid encounter in the Oval Office with Trump and an unidentified “highly decorated general” in which the president referred to Jeffress as “General Robert.”
“He said to the general, ‘You know, General Robert is more powerful than you are.’ And the general kind of had a funny look on his face, and the president continued. He said, ‘No, think about it. Every day Robert talks to the one who controls everything that happens in this universe,'” said Jeffress. “And I believe the president believes that. I believe he believes in a God who is in control, who is sovereign, and a God whose assistance we all need.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
