Let Jennings, ABC Hear from You on Blasphemous 'Jesus and Paul' Special

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY ^ | 04/06/04 | JAMES DOBSON

[chicagolady]

Network has produced another show loaded with liberal theologians and permeated with a sense of unbelief.

Peter Jennings is at it again.

The "ABC World News Tonight" anchor is the driving force behind Monday night's three-hour network special "Jesus and Paul -- the Word and the Witness." Like "The Search for Jesus," a previous ABC special Jennings shepherded, the new show is filled with "expert" analysis from liberal theologians and carries the underlying worldview of unbelief in Scripture and Jesus' divinity.

"Jennings repeatedly refers to 'the Jesus movement' as if it were just another political party or faction," Focus on the Family's Tom Neven writes in his review of the special. "They also pit Paul against Jesus, as if the apostle taught things that contradicted Jesus, and some refer to Paul as 'the founder of Christianity.' "

Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family, has urged listeners to contact Jennings and ABC and express their displeasure with the content of "Jesus and Paul." You can use the contact information below to do just that.

PETER JENNINGS HAS IT ALL WRONG PING.

PING ALERT!

Secularism is a religion and those who are secularist oppose Christianity. For some it will take Christ Himself to open their eyes, and then some will still not follow Christ.

Christ "fits" the profile of a "right wing extremist" and He was put to death. Christians should not expect better treatment than Christ received.

Perhaps the easiest way to show protest would have been not watch the show in the first place, because the people who pay the bills -- the sponsors -- don't care whether you like or hate the program as long as you watch it.

Now what's wrong with me.... why didn't my jaw drop wide open?!  :-)  A note to ABC would be worthwhile despite the boycott of this production.  Thank you for the ping chicagolady!

Not watching the show is a good idea. But one must be a Nielsen family to have it count. Call or write ABC and tell them that you are not watching the show (maybe we can find out the sponsors as well). This will get your boycott to count.

Way ahead of you on that one ;-)

[chicagolady]

PING.

[Labyrinthos]

I don't watch anything that features Peter Jennings. Why waste my time.

[Desdemona]

Didn't watch it. Didn't have any intention of watching it.

Is there a transcript available anywhere to use for rebuttal?

[freeangel]

I did not watch the show because I had a pretty fair idea of the lies it would try to get the public to swallow. But I would sure like a list of those companies that were sponsors. I have already written to abc and the Atlanta affiliate based on recounts of the program. This is why The Passion was so popular. People are hungry for the truth--not a rewrite of Christian beliefs.

Jennings-Ashwari and Terrorist Abu Arafat:
"In our opinion, the best reporter on America is
our beloved neoAmerican=Canadian-Palestinian Abu Jennings,
who actually took the time to sleep with BOTH of us.
Respect him, obey him, because, like us, he truly hates America."

[smith288]

Apparently, to Peter Jennings and the "thinkers" on his show say that Christianity mainly broke from Judaism because of circumcision. Paul was an ugly twit and none of Jesus original followers liked him.

Well, on to Islam for me then! Petah has spoken.

Jennings built a career on telegenicity. He looks good on TV. As far as I can tell, that's all he had, that and a talent for building a career on telegenicity.

Some people are dumb enough to mistake telegenicity for something else--like wisdom, intelligence, sound judgment, even heroism and greatness.

Evidently many people are.

[vandykelastone]

Bishop Spong!!!BISHOP SPONG??? Who does ABC believe it is kidding? Certainly not the Freepers.

[netmilsmom]

When was it on?
We have Directv and intentionally do not get local channels.

[syriacus]

The other day Jennings didn't have an answer for Larry King's question (paraphrased), "Why did Saul change his name to Paul."

I thought that was odd.

[hawkaw]

I am not a big fan of Jennings and I wish the Americans would export him back to my country, Canada. He has no right to make the commentary about Bush43 that he does on that the news casts for that major American Network. That really annoys the he!! out of me.

However in the USA and Canada people have the right to hold and express their points of view on religion. There are various different types of Christianity if memory serves. I really don't need a specific religion or religious group to get by in life (ie. I don't need someone telling me what to do). But I do respect people who believe in Jesus Christ etc. just like I respect those who believe in the Jewish faith and other faiths.

So I guess when it comes to this show that Jennings hosted, (whether he has it all wrong or not) I respect what the people had to say and I am really not all that cranked up about it since ALL people have the right to holds and offer their beliefs.

I noticed the other night...Peter's looks are fading fast.
