Not only that, if he doesn’t receive Jesus Christ as his lord and saviour he will spend an eternity in hell, as will we all.

. . . the Christian faith offers "forgiveness and redemption" for Woods’ "total recovery."

Brit Hume's words are a voice of truth in the darkness of this age.

Sorry Brit, I’m not going to forgive Tiger just because he joins the right team no more than I would forgive Obama if he found Christ.

What a stupid statement from you.

If you want to do news then do news if you want to peddle your religion then peddle your religion, you can’t do both.

I saw this, and could not believe it. The Christianity plea was strange, but the semi-bash on Buddhism was REALLY strange.

He’s right. God bless Brit. America, not just Tiger Woods, needs Jesus.

as a 25 yr + practicing and studying Theravada Buddhist and now born again Christian , I have to agree with Mr. Hume .
While Buddhism can do much for helping one gain inner composure there is little in it that causes the practitioner to ‘fear God ‘ , or even their Karma . Buddhism can allow one to develop a distorted ‘ it will all sort itself out eventually’ attitude and this is why so many Buddhists feel comfortable with shelving the adherence to the very important 5 Precepts and more-or-less doing as they please. They do not ‘fear their Karma’ as Christians ‘fear God’ It’s an invitation to continue to commit sinful behavior. Buddhist should remember that the Buudha’s parting words were to apply themselves and see if what he ( the Buddha) taught worked . Few do . The ‘promise’ of the Salvation of Jesus Christ is vastly more weighty and there really is no comparison . I agree with Mr. Hume : Tiger needs Jesus .

Bill Clinton claims to be a Christian, so who can say if anything would have been different if he was a Christian?

Wow, these days it takes a brave soul and a real Christian to be able to state the obvious. Jesus was very clear about this, and even to this day we claim to know Him and refuse to acknowledge Him. It is shame wether we admit it or not.

I was just in Malaysia and it was clear to me that we are so blessed to live in a Christian society, even if many of us are a little lost ans don't even realize it.

Bravo Brit!!!!!

I heard Brit say that and I agree with him 100%. Tiger Woods can be saved if he becomes a Christian! Good Idea, Brit!

What an out pouring of hatred for the message of forgiveness in Jesus Christ!

Incredible! What has happened to this country?

Does anyone recognize that God does not prescribe to mans opinion on anything but his Son.

Rejection of God’s Son Jesus Christ; which results in the rejection of the Holy Spirit, is the ONLY unforgivable sin
in the eyes of God.

Sorry, not my rules.

God does not care about any mans forgiving of Tiger Woods.

If Tiger truly asked for it, he would receive it.

I agree with Brit.

In my experience, absent a serious illness or religious conversion, by age 25 or so, character is fully formed and adults who are late 20’s or older do not change.

Conversion in these sorts of circumstances can be real (Chuck Colson) but it starts with genuine repentence, not some “rehab” based addiction counselling.

I would be very suspicious if Tiger suddenly “finds the Lord” and does an “I have sinned” tour on the evangelical talk show circuit.

It would take a multi-year change in behavior to convince me.

I think it’s great that Brit Hume spoke out. Freedom OF religion, not FROM religion, remember. It’s a nice change from the usual godlessness of the media.
