This is not exactly on-topic for this thread, but it’s related and it needs to be said. I’ve not seen this mentioned, but I may have missed it.
For the 3rd day in a row, I’m sitting here watching the media, even Fox, refer to a 2010 YouTube video of Phil preaching to a group of people. About 1 minute into the video, Phil is seen quoting the Bible from memory as he makes the point about how immoral behavior in our modern world is just like the time period that Paul the apostle was talking about as he wrote the Romans letter to the church in Rome.
My point: Phil is quoting Scripture — he’s NOT just listing behaviors that HE thinks is immoral like all of the media is claiming he’s doing. He is repeating THE EXACT WORDS of Paul as found in THE BIBLE. Paul was warning the Roman church how God turned his back on mankind if they continue with their immoral behavior. Paul warned them about the specific homosexual and heterosexual (adultery) behavior in these verses. These are God’s words as given to us through Paul, NOT the “personal opinion” of a duck call maker from West Monroe, Louisiana.
The specific Scripture Phil is quoting is found in Romans 1:24 and goes to end of chapter.
TO THE NEWS MEDIA: All I had to do was put a few of Phil’s words into a search engine, people. This is making you look stupid! GET. YOUR. FACTS. STRAIGHT.
The section i’m talking about starts at about 1:00 into the video.
