This is just so very sad on so many levels! My grandparents are in heaven, glad they can’t see this. Pastor Jeffress is correct, it’s just a building, we can rebuild people are the church. I’m very glad no one was hurt. I pray the brave firefighters all stay safe as they do their jobs. In the name of Jesus, I praise our Father, to Him be all glory. Oh, how God loves us, let me count the ways.
Wait!!!!!! Every religious person I have known tells me that folks in "Heaven" are looking down and watching over us. I am so confused.
@@goodcitizen3638 does it not say that when we get to Heaven God will wash away every tear? How can you be so happy in Heaven that even if you had a choice to return to earth you would not go. Now just imagine that you’re in heaven and so completely happy. Then you look and see your loved ones having a very hard time in their life, say they have cancer or they just lost everything and are now homeless. Could you be happy and not shed a tear? I couldn’t, but I have faith that God will be there for them. No matter what happens I could only wring my hands and watch. That is the job of angels. God doesn’t want that suffering for the people on earth or in Heaven. And let just say for the sake of argument you got really mad at your friend and keyed their car, but was really sad you did it. Would you want your family to see you do that? And let say you has a grandson that rejected God till the day he died, do you want to know you wouldn’t see him in Heaven? Now I don’t know any of what I just said is why God would or would not do this. I’m just trying to think of a loving God. I love my family dearly and I love God. And I know He only wants the best for us. Think critically to the end. How would you handle it. God bless you and trust God in all things. I’m sure someone else could answer this better than I did. Seek truth in your Bible.
@@karenwarren1241 This is why educated people are turning away from religion. The contradictions, fantasies and delusions are just too much. The bible has no truth. It was written by so many different people, cut and pasted, translated poorly and on and on. I am not the one who said people in Heaven are looking down. That is the catch phrase of organized religion. That is the problem with religious people: they feel free to just spew any nonsense that comes to mind even though it is just made up nonsense. Religion is similar to the guy who is a pathological liar. He had better have a good memory so he can keep his story straight. Religion does not care about truth or keeping the "story" straight...get caught in a delusion and just make up another fantasy and spew it out.
Their megachurch sustained minimal damage.
@@terryarmstrong8598 That's where they keep their cash and gold. "God" was watching over them.
God Bless my brothers and sisters. We love you all.
Praying for Pastor Jeffress and the congregation❤️🙏❤️😢😢💔
Joshua 10:14 says that only worked once.
Amen. Praying for strenght & peace❤
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
AMAZING GRACE HOW SWEET THE SOUND THAT SAVED A WRETH LIKE ME I WAS ONCE LOST AND KNOW IM FOUND.
Praying for all Pastor Jeffress. ❤ May God keep the fire fighters safe.🙏
It is so distressing that this historic and sacred structure has been destroyed. May god please bless the people of this congregation and the first responders who are fighting this horrible fire.
Praying for all of you
Praying for the congregation! And Pastor Jeffrey, I listen to his sermons many times driving to my PARAMEDIC job in Nashville Tennessee
God be with our fellow Texans.
Where is Abbott and Cruz?
trust me most of texas doesn’t care there’s a million other churches here
@kokaine649 did you chime that in just to be a jerk ?
Amen, Pastor Jeffress-so very true about the church but I’m still heartbroken
Another mysterious fire? What happened, possibly something sinister?
Since when do basements, usually concrete burn?
Why does that get you excited?
@@smokyquartz5817 what is wrong with you? It's just strange all kinds of fires and just brushed aside. Why are so many food plants, trains forests, parts of islands burning in what seems to be an orchestrated fashion. It's just weird. I mean really weird. A basement fire in a church? Really. Old church most likely rock.. doesn't that make you wonder?
@@smokyquartz5817 so called "Conspiracy Theorists" have been right so often the last couple years might as well call them "Dot Connectors" and everyone is in third grade, while they teach you the moon landing footage is real.
@@richpomanFUexactly I’ve been there and its concrete on all sides and roof your not even allowed in there literally a concrete tunnel with no air travel it had to been going for quite a bit and it’s just suspicious since trump left using the Dallas tunnels
Prayers for all concerncerned and affected by this.God bless.
With all the money spent on those additions, you’d have thought they would have installed a sprinkler system in the old part of the building.
I feel so bad but the church I go to is so close to that church and just grateful that my church isn’t burned down but I still feel so bad 😢
This is heartbreaking. I went there a few times but was never a member as I am not Baptist. But this is horrible.
I pray to God it can be restored. 🙏 ✝️ ⛪️ 💒 ❤
Praying for Pastor Jeffress! God still in control!🙏❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌😢😢
The fires of hell.
Absolutely heart breaking
Heartbreaking beyond words. 😢
That is so sad to see such a historic Church be lost. I pray they can restore and rebuild it and that some parts can still be saved.
Im from the UK , brought up and christened a Methodist but im not overly religious and dont follow any! BUT my heart still goes out to the congregation of first baptist dallas , im just glad no one was hurt of injured ..as thier pastors have said a church is not the bricks and mortar (they can be rebuilt) its the people and the congregation that makes a church !
The Bride of Christ lives forever.
Amen
Am so glad my family members were no longer here to see this, they all attended there at various times and my father worked there for a while.
Yes, I am glad my parents are in Heaven and did not see this, but especially that Dr. Criswell didn’t have to see this. I grew up there. I am heartbroken.
Praying 🙏🙏🙏
Tax Churches.
So sad ..Thank God no one was hurt 🙏
Mrs Tinsoey oh my I sat next to you I was 13?yo

Thank you pastor love you .🪔
Praying for All
ARSON??????????????
They have already said no.
@@smokyquartz5817
Haven’t heard anyone say that.
@@HeatherRose2023 They have in.more recent reports.
@@smokyquartz5817😂😂
@Rebel-Unit Why do you want to be arson? Someone might have burned alive!
That church is damn near the last of old downtown Dallas. Such a shame.
GOD will lead pastor and has the answer to restoration .
This is Hard to believe in this day and age of Fire prevention and control ?
Sad ! But Christ lives !
How could that happen ?
Focus on God not on the material things,think about " JOB " in the Bible
Pastor with Trump …several days ago.
Coincidence ??? So sorry. He did pray with Trump. First thought I had was Trump. Democrats has to stop the hate. God bless you and your members. ❤🙏🙏🙏
@@user-fy2el9lg7q If you worship a convicted criminal over the lord......
@@user-fy2el9lg7q It was a Republican who tried to assassinate him. Please speak facts. God Bless You!
@aspirations5259 a republican who donated to Democrat causes and tried to kill a republican presidential candidate?
@@user-fy2el9lg7q Trump destroys anyone and everything around him.
I guess I will have to Resurch since the news didn't say what time it started 😮
I was a third generation attendee of that church pastor dr W A Criswell he's the most godly pastor I've ever met I left a church when jeffress became Pastor and then it became Less of God more of politics I grew up in that church.
Spent many a sunday in that auditorium very sad🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I didn't know it was that old it didn't look like a really old church building
This Is Terrible And Heartbreaking 💔
As Christians the only person we serve is God. We are not supposed to lift up man and praise and serve man. Keep politics out of churches.
Hmmmmmmm. Huh? What happened there. Thoughts and...well, you know.
It’s God telling you he’s ashamed of what you’ve become
REALLY
Preach!!!
How did it even catch on fire
Sending prayers and love from 🇨🇦 to Pastor Jeffress and to all the Dallas Christians who attend that church too. Praise Jesus Christ for giving us the strength and love during these trials and tribulations and for being our LORD and saviour, Amen.✝❤
#,so sad very sad

Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Jeremiah 23:1-2
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.
Ezekiel 22:26-27
Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
Micah 3:11-12
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.
This is pretty metal
🙄
Were there no fire suppression systems inside? Started in the basement? A witness heard a boom and saw her windows rattle. They had VBS kids in there earlier. 🤔
I’m speculating a backpack bomb was left by the parent of one of the kids. Probably one of the protected class folks.

How could they have possibly have done that?

@93komuso. You should read II Peter 3 : 3 and Psalm 14 : 1
✝️❤️✝️THANK YOU GOD FOR ALL THE CHILDREN THAT WERE THERE FOR VBS.
THANK YOU GOD FOR PROTECTING YOURS.
SO SORRY PASTOR FOR THE FIRE.
I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO YOUR SERVICES ON-LINE. I ATTENDED CHURCH THERE.
MY FAVORITE BIBLE WAS BOUGHT FROM YOUR LIBRARY THERE.

@@cheriebowles9795 NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
YES, THERE HAD BEEN I BELIEVE 2,000 CHILDREN THAT HAD BEEN THERE DUEING THEIR VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL & PASTOR MENTIONED THAT NONE OF THEM WERE THERE.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! The fire dept doesn’t appear to be in a hurry at all. What’s up with that??
You want this to be some conspiracy. What's up with that? Glad crews stayed safe.
Dowsing flame causes hot air to rise and suffocate you if the wind blows in your face and likely if it’s on the first floor I remember airflow right through it is like a furnace but the basement air is always closed off so how it starts in the basement is the biggest mystery I was thinking about the attic when I saw this not the basement
🙏🥲
If God saved Trump, then surely he also set this fire?
???
Why dont you actually read/ study a Bible so you can understand who God is ?
God never promises that His followers will not suffer tribulations in this world. In fact He says that we will. The church is the people, not the building, and praise God all thos5 2000 children and the adults with them had recently gotten out. Christians still live in this same sinful world with all of its trials and troubles. God will use thus tragedy fir His glory.
The other news channel said it started on 2nd floor above the sanct5
That's awful thing to say.
