And me, as a Christian, am a big fan of his and think he is the biggest intellectual force for good for Western society since Jordan Peterson.
It really does not matter what conservative views he holds. If the first paragraph is true, then I want nothing to with him--as a Christian.
If you--as a Christian--respect him, then you got problems.
The man is flawed. Flawed men have helped Christianity in the past…think of Constantine. Think of Trump, who ended abortion, yet he has had multiple failed marriages.
I choose to look at the good Tate has done for young men to help them better their lives. He is the first to tell his followers that porn is for losers.
That does NOT mean Christians should follow or respect them.
Encouraging promiscuity to completely break an important bond in life and porn?
Think of Trump, who ended abortion, yet he has had multiple failed marriages.
Trump appointed the right people, but ultimately it was the Supreme Court who pulled the plug on Roe vs Wade. And if we want to stamp out abortion nationally it will be up to Congress to pass such a law.
He is the first to tell his followers that porn is for losers.
Yet according to you his business model also involves webcam girls. Actions speak louder than words. "By their fruits shall ye know them"-Matthew 7:16
He’s scamming people then.
Never heard of him either and have no intention of supporting him. That is not behavior any Christian should be endorsing no matter who he voted for.
The point is to not stay flawed and not encourage more flaws. Sounds like you’re putting your faith in men instead of God.
Finding another human to have a benefit on society is not a rejection of faith in God.
Didn’t say it was. But you have to look harder.
Look harder for what? Tate’s flaws? Or should I look harder for the redemptive arc that he obviously traveling?
You’re fixated on Tate.
Lots of unrepentant people have voiced support for Trump, but that doesn’t make them our allies by default.
Some FReepers fail to see the big picture here. I could disagree with Tate on every issue and I would still be on his side because he is being "cancelled". A bad example, I know. But I can buy Mein Kampf on Amazon. No one is afraid of it (in America) because we are able to debate on it. Everyone who is in the system is threatened by Tate. Why? Now that is your answer.
“Flawed men have helped Christianity in the past…”
You have it backwards. God uses flawed men (because all men are flawed) to further his plan, but do not be confused about who is helping who.
Your brand of Christianity is confused. Holding this man up as an example to others is weird and sad.
I believe God has used men to help His will…but I also believe that God has blessed us with free will and many men have used that free will to choose God.
A man who celebrates promiscuity and pimps women is not choosing God.
Eg. Barabbas
Watching now.
i want to see the full unedited video. I only managed to catch a portion of it.
Barabbas acknowledged Christ and repented.
Is that what this man is doing?
