Tony calls himself theologically conservative? Come on now. I have a righteous anger against Tony and his ilk because they’re consciously teaching error and leading huge numbers of people to ruin. Do you think these guys haven’t been corrected scripturally on many occasions by many true people of God? You can’t say that all these guys are deceived because many of them are deceivers. At 78, his wolf days are winding down and eternity is about to start. Tony, you chose the wrong path fool.

I have heard that Campolo once encountered a prostitute in a bar who was depressed because it was her birthday and no one cared enough about her to celebrate; so he bought her a cake and arranged for some of the barflies to sing "Happy Birthday" to her.

So while he waters down or denies the central truths of the Christian faith, he at least is capable of exhibiting human compassion. I would put this under "Do as I do, not as I say."

If he calls himself an evangelist, then when he encountered the depressed prostitute who was feeling sorry for herself, he should have given her the gospel, not something that encouraged her “it’s all about me attitude”.

Jesus never came to make people feel good about themselves.

sociology has never been respected as a science or a college degree. It is a step below basket weaving.

I heard that story, too. As always when he tells a story, he comes out looking just a little better than everyone else in general and a whole lot better than any Christian present. Actually, the story took place in Hawaii, but of course Tony who had gone there for a conference, couldn’t just enjoy the place, it’d ruin his rep. He had to wander around at night doing histrionic stuff. Or so he says.
