http://www.washingtonpost.com/local...e9829e-246e-11e3-b75d-5b7f66349852_story.htmlAt a morning sermon Sunday in Northern Virginia, Republican lieutenant governor candidate E.W. Jackson, a Chesapeake pastor, said people who dont follow Jesus Christ are engaged in some sort of false religion.
Jackson offered that view while describing a list of the controversial things he believes, and that must be said, as a Christian.
Any time you say, There is no other means of salvation but through Jesus Christ, and if you dont know him and you dont follow him and you dont go through him, you are engaged in some sort of false religion, thats controversial. But its the truth, Jackson said, according to a recording of the sermon by a Democratic tracker.
If nothing else I suppose at some level I have to give him credit for being remarkably honest about his beliefs while in the middle of a political campaign.
I do wonder if next week he is going to go to a synagogue and announce "Even though you all practice a sort of false religion I am still willing to accept your votes for me as a Lt Governor of Virginia."?
Maybe the issue is no-one ever clarified to him that there are actually people who are not Christian living in Virginia and the qualifications for a statewide officer are different than being a preacher at an evangelical church...
