GOD was represented by Himself there. That was your question, and I answered it. More correctly, I didn’t answer it, I showed you the Holy Spirit’s inspired answer through the writings of others in Scripture.
In total darkness, a tiny match — a tiny glimmer of righteousness — is highly visible. See for yourself how much “press” Matthew Mc... got with his small paean to God Almighty.
No, whatshisface didn’t go full on Billy Graham to the crowd... but he DID open the door to a tiny glimmer of light.
You will not find me quenching the Spirit on that one. You will find me praying that that tiny flame burns brighter in Matthew Mc...’s *own* heart, and that it ignite a flame in at least ONE other in that audience, and hopefully more.
With GOD, all — ALL — things are possible. Even revival in Hollywood.
Or in your self-righteousness would you rather that they continue in darkness, and all burn in Hell for eternity?
By the way, it’s fine for you to “debate” this way with me (if I may call your browbeating “debate”). I have a thick skin and I am confident that “it is well with my soul”. But I surely hope you don’t browbeat new believers and not believers the way you have behaved with me. It’s not an effective way to win souls.
I’m not really trying to debate you. Just letting you know that not everyone is buying this limp wristed Christianity that the neoevangelicalism, Hollywood, and Billy Graham have ruined America with.
I’m not sure why you addressed your comment to me. I was happy Matthew McConnaughey said what he said. I’m sure he made some liberal heads explode. I only cautioned against referring to acknowledgements of God as “the gospel.” Too many have no idea what the gospel is in our day. People should know that naked belief in God is not the gospel, and it’s not the way of eternal life.
