Ping!
I nearly screamed when Bill O’Reilly gave his pompous opinion in his talking points memo last night.
He resorted to the “judge not lest you be judged” in his backhanded support of Mr. Robertson.
And, of course, since NO ONE, according to himself, has fought for tradition as hard as he, we must all listen and accept his pronouncements as gospel.
This is religious persecution, pure and simple and until that is the argument in his defense, this is all just a circus meant to distract the masses.
I used to enjoy Bill O’Reilly’s evening program. It has all gone to his head; he is now pompous and arrogant. I stopped watching him several years ago. No loss, whatsoever.
I believe LIVING a homosexual life IS a choice. Inclinations do NOT have to be obeyed and followed. One may be inclined to steal, but reject the temptation. Others may have a deep desire to set fire to things, but stop themselves. How many temptations do we all resist daily? Homosexuality, IMO and from what I have learned, is biological and a mental problem. ACTING on it is choice!
Robertson reminds me of old testament prophets. Speaking truth to “power” and standing fast on God’s word, God’s strength and God’s protection.
Part of what homosexuals do is try to define 'Christians' by their standards. Interesting that we are not to 'judge' them, yet they are definitely judging Phil Robertson and his family as not being Christian ... or at least not "true" Christians per the gay definition, which is definitely warped.
Hmmmm.... I wonder if A&E is now open to RICO prosecution after violating Phil’s civil rights.
Its OK.
Ted Baxter, AKA the Leprechaun, AKA Bloviating B@stard, is a joke. And I for one do not take him seriously at all.
A certain personality tagging him as “Ted Baxter,” was brilliant. He fits that character’s profile perfectly.
His only talent in life is his ability to put his finger in the wind and see which way the fart gas drifts. At this, he has no peer.
Once he determines the direction of the manure flow, he will pontificate and obfuscate in the most mendacious fashion to make all believe that he, pusillanimous pipsqueak that he REALLY is, is a cultural icon, a leader in political thought and a tower of strength and virtue.
He is a legend in his own mind. And he will tell you so, with great verve and vigor, if you would simply genuflect and ask him.
I call O’Reilly the “Falafel King”.
Rush calls him “Ted O’Baxter” - how fitting!
Homosexual acts are sin
Adultery is sinn
I heard an Army Captain years ago say “All relationships are valid” and thought it was clever at the time, now I know it is just plain WRONG! God has designated some relationships as EVIL.
The United States defined in the Bible. We have stepped into the abyss and now have become a den of everything vile:
17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. [”Fornication” is interpreted/translated as “idolatry” in the Amplified Bible (AMP), the New American Bible mentions “harlotry”]
17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written a mystery: Babylon The Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the Earth. [King James Version; the New International Version uses “prostitutes” instead of “harlots”].
17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sat. [King James Version; the New International Version Bible and the New American Bible use “hills” instead of “mountains”].
17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.
17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.
17:12 And the ten horns which thou saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
17:15 And he said unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sat, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.
LOL, well done. I think you hit nearly every one of his favorite words.
Cracker Barrel has announced they’re pulling Duck Dynasty products. They said they didn’t want to offend anyone. I’ve eaten there a lot. I won’t ever eat there again. I’m offended.
Acting on it is exactly a choice. I’m with ClearBlue.
WEIRD - I thought exactly the same thing today.
“Oh darling, how dare that wild man in the hair shirt criticize our marriage — he said it violates Old Testament law, but doesn’t he know the culture has *changed*? We Romans are enlightened, and our civilization is invincible and new. Hope and Change!”
“Oh yes, my dear, and of course WE don’t follow THEIR backwards rules. For Zeus’ sake, the man eats locusts and wild honey. What a redneck! I’ll have his head on a platter for you as a treat for our next feast.”
“Ooh! Excellent, my darling! We will most certainly nip this sort of thing in the bud. He thinks someone greater than he is will come and back him up! Ha Ha! What a fool!”
Actually Jvette, most of my vocabulary used against this clown comes from an ICON:
BOB GRANT.
HE WAS a pioneer. Rush, Hannity, Savage, and on and on, learned at that man’s knee.
Bob was a humble man who did no more than call them as he saw them.
“Its the March of the Gavones! Gagazotte!”
Levin’s famous “Get Off My Phone!” line was invented by Grant in the late ‘70’s, when Levin was still pooping in his diaper.
It was a Bob Grant hallmark.
Youngsters have NO CLUE.
Phil is right.
It's the end result of choosing to reject God.
Scripture could not be plainer.
Romans 1:24-31 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
