Men like Savage cannot humble themselves to the level needed.
I feel the same way. He is definitely a man searching for the Truth but like so many, he will let his intellect keep him from true wisdom.
BTW, Michael Savage’s actual last name is Weiner, too.
I am not his judge, I will let God sort it out. I do very much enjoy the way he speaks from his heart. May God make the world safe for those who do not suffer fools easily and state their opinions bluntly. He is one of the few public figures who speaks plainly about Islam without bowing to political correctness.
Michael Savage is as much a conservative as this posting was about Michael Savage (which is to say, it was not).

I wanted to stop reading right there. Savage is an obnoxious know it all with a voice that make fingernails on a chalk board sound pleasant. I can't turn the radio off or switch stations fast enough at 6pm..
As for the rest of the article, I don't listen to talk radio for theology, if that is what I'm in the mood for I have a choice of Christian radio stations.
Yes I podcast Michael Savage every night he is the air. I have been listening to him since the Spring of 2007. He is by far and away the best in the business. The most intelligent too. I am very thankful that God has put this man on Earth.
Yes it is true Michael is not a biblical absolutest. However, you are incorrect on another point you made. Michael says that he believes that science and religion DO go together and are NOT mutually exclusive. Science tells us how and religion tells us why.
Well said Kindred !
I stopped listening to Savage after he made a huge contribution to the campaign of Jerry Brown in 2006. At the time, Brown was running against a conservative Republican for Attorney General in California.
I have thought on this more times than the questions of why bad things happen to good people. It seems to me many of the delays in life...from getting caught in traffic to mistakes over oversleeping etc. all play into His hand in ways we cannot know this side of heaven.
I do think He takes those instances and happenings in life and weaves them into His perfect will for us despite ourselves or those happenings in our life...He brings good out of life.
It was once said to me by an individual that life is for the most part "hard" and full of "misfortunes and happenings"......but along the way God meets us with some of the better moments of life from time to time, so that we might continue the journey before us and enjoy those moments along the way with appreciation for what He has done on our behalf.
I also think if man were entirely left to himself, without God's blessings, He would surely destroy himself and everything and one around him. We underestimate greatly the depravity of man.
So man has free will and that is the source of evil? How does your free will cause tornadoes that kill hundreds of people or genetic defects causing retardation or technial defects in planes that cause crashes???
You are praying for a Jew to become a Christian. Um, OK. So you are praying for ALL Jews to become Christians. OK, good luck with that.
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me
Savage’s views seem to approximate those of Madeline L’Engle, who was a believer in Christian universalism (that God does not limit salvation exclusively to Christians). For that, she was widely attacked as a heretic and many Christian bookstores wouldn’t carry her stuff.
I’ve debated atheists online before, and they hate when I mention Madeline L’Engle because they have certain preconceived notions of what Christians believe and get annoyed when you mention something that goes against these notions.
Savage is sometimes a great listen, when he exhibits an inquisitive and skeptical mind. BUT, I believe he’s bipolar, because on some days (his manic days?) he rants like an angry fool, drenched in paranoia and hatred for his enemies. That’s when I switch him off; listening to the mentally ill makes me uncomfortable.
I wait a few days and check back, and sure enough Michael is back to his calm self, using logic and intelligence to make his points. I believe he experiments with his meds. Many bipolars do, and for good reason. They feel hazy and giddy when medicated, as if they’ve lost their edge. They stop taking the meds and “enjoy” a flood of emotion which sometimes turns angry, depressive or paranoid.
I’m not a professional, mind you, just a keen observer. So I could be wrong.
