Prayers said for the congregation of Dallas Baptist Church!!
They ok, God don’t live in buildings of wood brick and mortar
real estate developers really wanted that land!
I can imagine the feelings of the parishioners and those who know the church. I witnessed a church being totally destroyed by a severe thunderstorm lightning strike. Approximately 4 years later, a new church building sits on the sight.
Sending prayers Pastor Robert Jeffress!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If prayer worked I wouldn't be bald.
they got insurance, now he can build a new shinny megachurch
Amen!!
❤❤
Im sure that many of the church have taken this to GOD, in precious prayer.
The pastor said himself God don’t dwell in buildings made of wood, brick and mortar, rather, his spirit lives in those who call upon his name for salvation
That little property, surrounded by skyscrapers, is worth untold millions of dollars. Include that fact in the search for causes.
😢
That’s either an electrical fire or arson…
It's good to know that you have knowledge and experience in this field. Not.
@@snowflakehunterwhy are you commenting under everyone saying its arson? Are you an expert on arson? Didnt think so.
@@J_Stevens89it IS astonishing how many people think this rotten Pastor had this done to expand his tax free money making scheme! You seem kind a sensitive there, snowflake
@@J_Stevens89 No, snowflake ❄️❄️❄️. And neither are the people saying it's arson. Get a life and stop putting sausage in Uranus.
@snowflakehunter you sound like you're the snowflake 😂😂😂
Sad really. Such an iconic, historic church structure.
Such a huge loss..prayers to all
Arson and insurance suspect 🤔 the city has been fighting over that down town property for decades.
Those saying others want this property may not realize this is part of a campus. This sanctuary is mostly surrounded by new buildings that are part of the First Baptist campus.
I'm kind of tired of churches being called a "campus"
@@macharrington7733why? it’s just a term used to refer to a collection of buildings.
🙏🏻prayers for your congregation and the beautiful church’s future🙏🏻
I pray that wasn't Arson ❤❤❤
The "historic sanctuary" has been a sensitive topic in this church for years with the long timers wanting to keep it and the newbies wanting to tear it down. then it was placed on the historic register and it's almost impossible to tear something down when a building reaches that status. To get rid of it it basically has to catch fire, hey whadduya know??
Wow😮 I'm praying for my brothers and sisters who are going through the loss.
Prayers
Praise GOD all are safe❤
We will never stop singing,praying, and worshiping an Almighty God.
Amen❤. There is power in the sweet name of Jesus.
So happy no one was hurt.
Big thànk you to our Fire and Rescue Teams❤
As the pastor said, the church is not the building, but the people and thankfully there were no lives lost or people injured. However, the loss of a beautiful historic structure is heartbreaking. Modern architecture is so bland and even ugly. Nothing compares to the majesty, fine detail, and craftsmanship of the classic old styles. I hope they can preserve at least part of it. Maybe they can raise some funds by selling the bricks as souvenirs.
Arson
How can you call an arson? Are you a professional? I don't think so.
@@snowflakehunter How can you not? His conjecture at theis point is every bit as valid as yours. WuzamattaU?
@@tedclutter7326 you just basically made my point.
Like the Big Lie, "We know the election was stolen. We just don't have any evidence or proof." You have no proof. No evidence of arson.
@@snowflakehunterThose 82 other churches must have been accidental as well I’m sure. You are very smart!
Preacher is awful
he got on he’s bank over 16 billions dollard sure he can rebuild it
The Lord's Work
Do tell Albert. Explain your comment!!
@@normgardner4560 All of Creation is the Lord's work.
@@normgardner4560The Lord removed trump in 2020. This pastor kept spreading lies and worship for trump. The Lord warns and sometimes disciplines to get through.
❤The steeple is still standing😊
God must want Jeffress to sit on it.
After the fire, what do expect?
I am so sorry for the people of that church...Pastor Jefferys. In my prayers 🙏.
Praying! 🙏🏻
What goes round comes around.
Part of the plan....
Demolished? It’s only a scratch. 🤔
Get a second independent third party opinion regarding tearing down!
God bless❤
It's worrying about this surprise fire. A lot of people today when they want something and can't get it they take it having no regard for God or man
So now he can ask for enough "Tithes" to cover it and much more! Thank goodness. And did Jeffress urge his audience to get jabbed during Covid or else don't attend?
He specifically said today that people all over are offering to send money *but that insurance* will cover the loss. And most congregations *want* to support their church's ministry and are happy to give for the cause of Christ. Never underestimate the love followers of Christ have for His cause.
I used to listen to this pastor until he became an advocate for the jab...
And nothing of value was lost.
Nothing of value? The sound system all the pews to pulpit there's over close to $100,000 worth of just stuff inside the sanctuary itself of value that was lost
@@LilyandOllieTv100K that could go to help the homeless in Dallas. Priorities.
I am saddened that they don’t mention W. A. Criswell.
Why
@@snowflakehunter Because he was the preacher man who began it all.
Lotta folks dissed & hated people from there.....seems old news.....hope not... .. beautiful place.........Show us another church with character this has.......You can't .......
...tots and pears.
Jebus will take care of it.
"roof partially collapsed"
I saw no roof at all! 🤣
Typical news reporting. There were reports of Trumps assassination attempt that were reported as Secret Service interrupts Trump Rally and other nonsensical headlines.
No one in media actually investigates a story and haven’t since the 80’s. They grab a few facts, paint a narrative that they think will draw views, and then proceed to sell as much advertising as possible linked to the “story”.
Im in tears 😭 heartbreaking💔im heartbroken😢praise God for Our Beauty Chuch
Sing Loud brothers and Sisters in Christ. Our God is an Awesome God.Amen
Jesus is sitting on the Throne in Heaven.Amen
Beautiful Sunday morning😊
Praise God almighty.Amen.
I suspect some property mogul wanted the dirt. And he will get it. We know it was arson, pure and simple.
No you don't.
@@snowflakehunter Seriously, what's the matter with thee?
@@tedclutter7326 Nothing. I am a realist and see things as they are. I do not assume. Perhaps you should try it and stop being a snowflake ❄️❄️❄️.
The property is own by First Baptist Dallas. It won't be sold or redeveloped. Hope they can savage it and restore it.
@@tedclutter7326He doesn’t know how many genders there is. Ignore him 😅
Save the kinder Allelluyah freedom is done.
It looks like the Steeplle still stood. Just a building, the Word is the truth
❤prayers and Love to pastor Jeffries and his family❤
Peace.
Patrick Teahan's Childhood Trauma ad couldn't be more apt for this RUclips channel. Heck, the Fox News Network! How wonderful it would be if the narcissistic perpetrators faced their dysfunctional trauma. Unfortunately, it's their victims who usually do.
Sorry but Somethings wrong here ? Just look at the result !
Look around the nation, the world for that matter, at the attacks on Western Culture churches.
Yeah...most of them have been on BLACK churches...TWO THOUSAND of them burned between 1995-2005 alone. Did you hear a peep about it in the news? No...you didn't. But let one barely used building owned by a rich white church that worships Donald Trump burn & the whole country is talking about it.
a building with a cross on It Is not a church that a man made
you yourself and I Is the church that GOD lives In our hearts
those buildings are nothing but a family business and a corporation
Sad! I’m LDS and the Baptist church and its members are on my prayers. Very good people!
Knowing what this lot will turn into, that was probably arson 🤑🤑🤑
That's what Robert Jeffreys gets. I lived in Wichita falls Texas when Robert Jeffries was the pastor over the first Baptist Church there. I came in contact with him one day at the local hospital and he acted like a real prick. He's just in it for the money.
Insurance up to date, I'm sure.
"One" day being the key.
Everybody can have a bad moment.
The longer course of his life says differently about his high character
@@scotthamilton814 listen. I used to go to First Baptist Church in Wichita Falls BEFORE he took over. I was about 6 years old and was involved in Sunday School and other church activities (Summer camp, swimming, bowling... etc). It was a fun and spiritual place to be. After Robert Jeffries took over, it became a place of judgement. He always looked down on those that he felt were below him. The after school programs that we as kids loved were removed. I gave you ONE instance. Keep your mouth closed because you have no idea. Goodbye snowflake ❄️❄️❄️.
I believe it!
@@scotthamilton814 I was born and raised in Wichita falls Texas and I went to first Baptist Church starting when I was about 6 years old. I used to go to Sunday school, summer camp, we would bowl (yes, the Church had a bowling and he shut it down because fun was not allowed) and we would go swimming at the church. When pastor Robert Jeffries took over the church he eliminated all of that. No more bowling no more swimming no more summer camp the only thing we had was Sunday school. He brought a sense of hatred towards youth activities. My encounter with him at the hospital was just one instance of this man's judgemental behavior. He basically viewed himself superior to everyone else. When he left Wichita Falls for more money that told me everything that I needed to know about him. He is in it for the money. He did nothing to benefit the community. No outreach programs, no services for the poor.... nothing. It was a blessing to see him leave. I can guarantee you that I know more about him than you ever will.
Know
Someone wanted that property. Money makes people do evil things
The property is not transferring to somebody else just because the structure burned. The church owns it. If anything...an arson motive would need to start with how much the church collects on the property from insurance. They have already said they intend to rebuild it, & on top of that they own a ton of other stuff in that area covering about 6 square blocks of super expensive real estate. Nobody is getting the land even if somebody on the outside set fire to it.
😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤
May ? Did he get to see the picture before he came on ? IT IS DEMOLISHED 😊😊
Absolutely it can be saved there's nothing wrong with this structural integrity of the brick it doesn't get damaged during a fire, long as all the walls are still standing it's fine add a little bit more mud for support put another roof on it replumb all the electrical water gas everything and keep going it can be saved perfectly fine if they say no get a second opinion but as of right now it's salvageable it's saved
Good news for the Dallas LGBT.
They'll rebuild.. that's trump's buddy
I wondered if there's any connection.
@@myunknownland9272 Pathetic comment
I hope they don't build a tower there dedicated to trump.... that small piece of land was dedicated to the Lord God creator of the heavens and earth !
I❤the Bible❤ thank you pastor for praying the gospel.
This is the day the lord has made we will rejoice and be glad iñ it❤.
Well they can just go to the Catholic Church around the corner.
It's time for them to get to know Jesus in The Eucharist. They have never had the Body and Blood of our Lord.
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
54Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
their main sanctuary is intact. It was only the historic building that burned
Why would Christians want to go to a non-Christian church?
I’m heartbroken over the loss of this beautiful historic building but Rev Jeffress is constantly making hateful comments about the Judgment of God! He claimed that he Coronavirus was a Judgement of God. So I guess by his own logic when something tragic happens it’s Gods Judgement.
they praise him for the smallest good thing that happens, but never blame him for the horrible things that happen in the world
Obviously neither one of you have read the Bible.

Historic? It's American.
Great point - Historic though in somebody's mind...
Alex jones said this would happen
To this church?
GOD IS A LIE
Nothing to do with God - it has to do with Human greed and selfishness - both are not God's commands!
Repent repent repent, today is the day to turn to God and you will saved!
I guess their god didn’t protect that church 🤭
ummmmm... the fire happened *very* shortly after 2000 VBS kids and a lot of staff and employees had left. *They* are the church... not the building. Looks to me like He protected them a LOT. Besides, Christians still live in this world and are not immune from its trials.
This is what happens when you endorse the secular world's blasphemy against God and His Son.
How, you may ask?
Jeffress heartily endorsed Bill O'Reilly's heretical screed "Killing Jesus" showing himself on global television a biblical ignoramus and cowardly blowing a chance to call out this heresy and magnify the person of Christ and His completed work on Calvary's cross.
Jesus said, "No one takes it (my life) from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”
Killing Jesus. How pathetic.
This made my day!
HOLY MAGA DALLAS. THE MAGAS BURNING 🔥 😊
