Romney denounces pastor slated to speak at US embassy in Jerusalem
In addition to his remarks on Jews, Jeffress has referred to both Mormonism and Islam as "a heresy from the pit of Hell".
Jeffress, who serves on the White House's Evangelical Advisory Board, is one of Donald Trump's most prominent faith advisers.
The position of Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, a Southern Baptist megachurch, underlines the importance of the Jerusalem occasion as an enchantment to Christian conservatives, a part of President Donald Trump's base of supporters. Jeffress later told reporters that he did not understand the controversy surrounding his comments since they reflected the views held by most evangelicals. The move is widely seen as controversial and has been rejected by Palestinians, who want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state. Trump announced in December that he was relocating the embassy to Jerusalem, a move that drew global condemnation and sparked concerns of a widening conflict in the Middle East. John McCain (R-AZ), denounced Hagee in 2008 after Hagee endorsed him for president.
"Not only do religions like Mormonism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism - not only do they lead people away from God, they lead people to an eternity of separation from God in hell", he said.

Insult to Faiz's daughter reflects badly on 'Atithi Devo Bhava'
India's image of being gracious, generous and welcoming to guests should not be tarnished for the sake of harebrained politics. She is the daughter of Urdu poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz, who is celebrated on both sides of the border for his stirring Urdu poetry.
Robert Jeffress says "you can't be saved by being a Jew", and "Mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell".
Jeffress has been a strong supporter of the decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and to move the US embassy there, despite opposition by Palestine and some world leaders. He said that Mormons, Muslims and Hindus "worship a false god", and that Islam is "evil" and "promotes pedophilia". "The fact that I, along with tens of millions of evangelical Christians around the world, continue to espouse that belief, is neither bigoted nor newsworthy".
The embassy is set to open this afternoon.
"I'm going to be thanking God for the strong leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, who is absolutely determined to protect Israel".
