“What happened to him, anyway?”
Admittedly I am only guessing. But my guess is that he slid into sexual perversion—probably homosexuality—and can not reconcile his unshakeable same-sex-attraction with Bible-based faith.
I don’t know. Wrote a few good books, even made a movie (lousy), but he somehow lost faith. He can still be redeemed, look at Franklin Graham. I understand at one point he turned against his father Billy only to come back into the fold in a big way. Franky for now is a nut case.
He used to be strongly pro-life -- decades ago --- but no more. He has slipped badly.
In his writing and speaking he's just wince-makingly cruel to his father and mother. He seems to have made a career, and even fashioned an identity, out of hating his parents.
I can’t avoid this.
nobody “EXPECTS” the Spanish Inquisition.
Imagine what would happen to someone who said this about Muslims.
Ok.
I’ll come in again. {closes door}...
{door flies open}
Nobody EXPECTS the Spanish Inquisition!!!!
As President Trump believes, a person is not necessarily guilty just because an allegation was made. Many liars are out there ready to entrap someone based upon their errant desires to destroy those whom they oppose.
People have a right to a fair trial in this country, not a mob lynching.
To them, the leftist, who are often the sexually deviant, I suppose this view makes me the evil one.
Do you have a source for that. As a lifelong admirer of Francis Schaeffer I have never read that he allowed his son to do that (yes, I read L’abri)
That is weird. His accusations against “Evangelicals” being supportive of pedophilia makes me wonder if something happened to him as a child that he blames his parents for.
Regardless, it is highly hypocritical for him to pretend to be a defender of children while being for abortion. Figures that MSM would love to interview this freakish contradiction of a credible subject matter expert.
Frank used to be red-hot pro-life as a young man, motivated by his (then) sincere Christian faith and the birth of his first daughter, which put him in awe of God as the Life-giver.
I mean, this was the real deal.
Now he says the worst thing he ever did in his life, the thing he most bitterly regrets, was to encourage his father and Protestants in general to get involved in the pro-life movement.
But still he's reportedly devoted to his wife who he's been married to for 40+ years, and to his children and 3 grandchildren, with whom he has a very close attachment.
He's truly gifted in some ways, but coherence is not his strong suit.
