Its kinda sad. A man spends 50 years of his life preaching the gospel and bringing people to Christ and the only thing people can concentrate on after all those years is a few verbal gaffs that he made along the way.

What is even sadder is that many of those who are his harshest critics are fellow Christians who ought to have the same forgiving spirit that our Lord had when his disciples screwed up time and time again. But no! Billy must be crucified.

And crucify him they will.

Have a nice thread.

doubtful.
religious pharisees, perhaps.

That's because there are three unforgivable sins in the self-righteous, Evangelical church - abortion, homosexuality, and voting for a Democrat.

This is why there is a progressive Evangelical contingent that is beginning to push back against the Christian right. We're proclaim that God is bigger than the Republican platform, and that the Republicans are no more deserving of the Church's imprimatur than the Democrats. (I mean progressive in its classical sense, not the meaning hijacked by college liberals.)

In scanning this thread, it's obvious that many here are not one bit interested in the truth.............just like the others on this subject.

It's more than just sad. It's sinful.

Being courteous to hosts must have gone out of style in the church. A little fun is supposed to be an endorsement now. People need to get a life!!

Speaking for myself, I'm not crucifying anyone. But I am disappointed and dismayed.
