I have given up trying to understand the peanut.

[SoldierDad]

I personally would not accept Jimmy Carter as an authority on this subject. I’ll accept the words of Jesus and my Lord God instead.

[Mr. Lucky]

What could be worse than getting the Gospel wrong?

How about selling out all of Christendom to The Ayatollah?

[Always Right]

So Carter was a worst Sunday school teacher than he was a President. Really hard to believe.

[Kirkwood]

Hard to believe this guy was president.

[tractorman]

Jimmy must have forgoten the last half of John 3:16.

.....and whoso believeth not shall be damned.

[CORedneck]

And we are still paying to this day due to his stupidity. An example, Iran. Need I say anymore.

Bowdlerizing Jimmy

[twigs]

And I have been asked often, you know, in my Sunday School classes, which are kind of a give and take debate with people from many nations and many faiths—what about those that don't publicly accept Christ, are they condemned?

That's fairly unusual for a Sunday School class. They are usually attended by believers who are looking for more depth on what they believe. Or if they are attended by non-believers, which is a good thing, they are attended by seekers. It sounds here like Jimmy's class is a tourist attraction and he's been lead astray by beliefs of the attenders.

[TommyDale]

"...Mr. Carter stated once again his belief that there is salvation outside of faith in Christ."

Unbelievable. He reads from a completely different version of the Bible than I do.

[mikeus_maximus]

He seems to be a man of limitless arrogance, and he can believe what ever he wants.

I'll believe Christ: "I am the way, the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father but by Me."

[mikeus_maximus]

oops- should be "the life".

[joebuck]

"Yes, I do. I remember two things. One is that in John 3:16, which is probably the best known verse in the Bible—"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son." And Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, for instance, said we should love our neighbors, but also love those who despise us and hate us and our enemies. So, the opportunity for everyone to be saved through the grace of God with faith in Christ applies to everyone."

How in the world do you connect those dots? This proves that senility kills rational thought before ego.

[Kirkwood]

I wouldn’t put Jimmy Carter in charge of making toast.

[miele man]

Jimmah’s first statement on John 3:16 is absolutely incorrect. This verse is: “So God loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.

Yet another typical example of liberal, modernistic, “itching ears” private interpretation.

[Paperdoll]

Jimma Cotta will take his peanuts roasted - for all eternity.

[JohnnyZ]

Best way to start a fight between religious folks:

arguing about Justification.

God's infinite mercy is available to all. But one way or another, you have to accept it.

[Blueflag]

That’s actually from John 3:18, but close enough, and in context.
