As for "sin", there are a number mentioned in the Bible that people these days seem to gloss over - premarital sex, extramarital sex, divorce, etc. Where is the outcry over that???

 

Again, a "pick and choose" mentality.

Yeah, you right... "pick-and-choose."

 

Time to close down all those tattoo parlors around here now, also.

"...Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly [or with difficulty] enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19.23 KJV bible)

 

 

"Miss Kay says 'I've been poor with you and I've been rich with you. Rich is better,'" Phil Robertson said.

"But I stayed with you through both," she added.

Today, Robertson's company Duck Commander has sales in the millions, with contracts in outdoor stores across the United States. For the past decade, the Robertsons' third son Willie has been their CEO, which his parents say was an obvious choice.

I'm not particularly a fan of this show since I can't stomach the killing, but are they greedy? How much of their income do they donate to worthy causes and the church? The Bible teaches us to be good stewards of our money.

 

It's interesting that now they're being criticized for having a successful business. As long they use their money for good, what is the problem with making it honestly? I'd rather give my hard earned money for their products than those of "Yeezus."

David, I hope I have never made you feel that I hated you because of your lifestyle. I don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle but I also don't agree with spouses cheating on one another. Of course, how you or anyone else live your life is none of my business.

Seems as though people pick & choose their "sins" as to which one is ok & which one isn't. I would much rather associate myself with a "sinner" that will always tell me the truth than a with "Christian" that wouldn't know truth if it walked up & bit them on the azz.

I hope you & your family have a wonderful Holiday.

Given your "Anti- Religion"..."Anti Christian"" posts....you regularly do here...

SOMEONE must have given you a grave "injustice" ...waaaay back.

I'm a "non-believer"...but I don't have the animosity you exhibit...

There are MUCH graver dangers...than those who believe in...Religion.

Have you consulted a "Shrink"?

Pfttttttttttttttttttttttt. Given that so called christians want to pick and choose what they will follow or not follow in their bible, what they will tell others they have to follow from said bible, I'd say it's them that needs a "shrink". The "grave injustice" you speak of is what they are trying to do to others in the name of their god. Maybe you should read all my posts and try to comprehend them. You have jt claiming homosexuals can beat on straight people and nothing happens to them. That's just one of those "christian" statements that, imo, is an injustice. Out right lie too. I did post that it was none of a&e's business what the man says, and they shouldn't police him. Let the public decide. And if he wants to give his opinions, he has to be prepared to hear others opinions himself.

Maybe you did not read the full text of the GQ interview with Robertson.  He named several other areas of sexual sin and other sins besides homosexuality.  However, the gay/lesbian crowd and their allies are the only class of sinners he cited who have erupted with outrage and high dudgeon.  The fornicators and adulterers and thieves and swindlers and drunkards and idolaters have had the good sense not to have not to go public to defend THEIR practices.  Maybe that is why YOU seem not to have noticed the scope of Robertson's remarks. A Robertson quote from the original GQ interview:

"Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers--they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

 

You lament the "pick and choose" mantality, but you certainly can not accuse Phil Robertson of picking and choosing.  He named a pretty far-ranging group of sinners. 

He doesn't like homosexuals, but, he said his gawd made everyone. So it's pretty simple, his gripe is with his gawd. I have never seen dd, couldn't tell you anything more than what I've seen discussed, or read, about it. I don't watch any of the so called "reality" shows except sometimes, for a few minutes, some of the "cop" shows, and believe me, a few minutes at a time is ALL I can take of that. Why the shows are so popular is beyond me.

You need to just pay attention.  I posted concerning homosexuality because that is a theme that pervades the TOPIC under discussion.  David  posted THIS:  

 

"As for "sin", there are a number mentioned in the Bible that people these days seem to gloss over - premarital sex, extramarital sex, divorce, etc. Where is the outcry over that???"

 

My response to that statement was to the point that the comments of Phil Robertson without question did not gloss over those other, non-homosexual, sins and I proved my point by quoting precisely what Robertson did say.   

 

Kindly show where I called David L ignorant.  I find nothing in my post that corresponds to that. I correctly noted that David must not have read or paid due attention to what Robertson said, since Robertson indeed extended his remarks to cover a number of non-homosexual areas of immorality.  Robertson certainly did not "pick and choose."

 

As to David's sweeping condemnation of what the writers of the Bible wrote on the topic of homosexuality  ("verses written by men in their day who were just as bigoted and homophobic!), I can say only that for so long as I believe their words to be God-inspired and David believes they are to be cavalierly dismissed as the utterances of bigots and homophobes, we can not find any common ground.  

 

 

I wasn't referring to Phil R. in particular when I made the last statement. I meant all the bible thumpers who get their panties in a wad when it comes to gays yet they don't say a thing about pre-marital sex, divorce, etc. Why? Because they are a bunch of hypocrites.

 

I'm not sure why they feel threatened and I do think some protest a little too much.
