Florida Quarterback Tebow Leaves Reporters Speechless: "Yes I am" Saving Myself for Marriage

Homeschool ping (homeschooling mentioned)

Strange how his answer was considered “controversial”.

[TJ Jackson]

He should marry fellow Gator Erin Andrews!

[Ramcat]

Pray for this young man as the gates of hell are about to be unleashed upon him.
The MSM will do everything in their power to prove him to be a hypocrite.

[statered]

seems to me you guys are worried more about who does the evangelizing rather than it gets done. unfortunate. but to answer the original there are protestant missionaries all over the world, just like catholics. its not like they target areas because there are catholics there.

[Marie2]

And he was homeschooled, too. All proud here.

“Rising star of the NCAA”, Let’s see:

Freshman - National Championship
Sophomore - Heisman Trophy
Junior - National Championship

Chuck Norris wears a Tim Tebow T-Shirt!

Nothing against Tebow, but why is it that Protestant Missionaries are constantly going to countries that are predominantly Catholic, rather than to the countries in Africa, or the Middle East, or ANY Asian country besides the Philippines, where non-Christian people are the norm.

That is an odd claim, do you have some numbers? Protestants do seem to be doing something in Africa for instance and of course they have become second only to Buddhism in South Korea.

[Liberals are Evil Socialists!]

I am having real trouble reconciling this with his famous beautiful “girlfriends”...

For example:

[cspackler]

Seriously? I mean, really?

[ansel12]

Mitt Romney was asked the same question about his behavior before marriage.

Anybody that wants to learn a scary story about how the powerful son of a three time governor and presidential candidate gets a 16 year old non Mormon girl engaged to him and personally converted by one of the most powerful, influential men in the nation and married by 19, should look into the Romney family when they were at the peak of their power.

That wasn't the point. The point was that Protestant missionaries--particularly from the US--tend to focus on Catholic countries because 1.) they are easy fodder and 2.) they are nearby. I laud Protestant missionaries who dare to go into territories that are mainly Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist as Catholics have done. Such people are truly brave and doing what Jesus commanded them to do.

[FightThePower!]

How silly, this guy should be shagging as many coeds as possible.

[Lucky Dog]

Ever heard of the Moro... about 5.25% of the total Philippine population

[N. Theknow]

Seriously? I mean, really?

Well, if it was yours truly next to her and I was "saving" myself, there would be a LOT in the "Blue-Bank!"

Oddly enough, my golfing foursome was enjoying the beverages available at the 19th hole when we saw highlights of college football in the state of Florida.

Clips of both USF, QB Matt Grothe, and UF, QB Tim Tebow, were shown with glimpses of row after row of beautiful coeds in the front rows of their respective stadiums.

Not a word was said amongst us.

Just four very audible sighs.

[mikeus_maximus]

I despise him as a Gator...

but admire and honor him as a man and a Christian. : )

I'm not aware of any countries that the Catholic church can consider their own, winning over the unchurched is a primary function of Christians and in the case of Protestantism it helps make the country more American like.

Creating a large Protestant membership in Mexico would probably have startlingly positive benefits to both them and the United States.

So much for that "All may be one" nonsense. Pah. What did Jesus know, anyway...

[Paradox]

Yah don't say? As a Gator Hater, let me be the first here to say that Tim "Tea-bag" Tebow is gay!!!!

Ok, ok, I may "hate" the Gates, but Tebow is the real deal! I admired Wuerffel as well, for his character.

[ansel12]

I was addressing political and cultural benefits by getting people that are not Christian or are not practicing Christians, or that are ignorant of what it is, to become engaged in the bible and Christianity, it appears to have big benefits as we are already learning in Latin America.

That's often a beef of mine—why not go where it's actually dangerous, and take the arrows as St. Paul did, and as the priests did in Africa and the Americas after Columbus? Being asked to contribute to Protestant kids' missions to places like the Ukraine and Louisiana just make me chuckle and keep my hands in my pockets.

But I've also seen Evangelical missionaries taking the hard road: There are Protestant missions in highland (headhunter) New Guinea; and my wife's cousin and his family are in Cambodia as we speak, serving the people very humbly and heroically.
