Wow!

Bono seems to have done his homework.

There might be hope for this guy yet!

You know say what you want about Bono. They way this is written it is a very good confession of Faith. This is thought out.

What Bono said was a very condensed version of what C. S. Lewis wrote in his book, "Mere Christianity".

Sounds like it was a lot more than homework. Sounds to me like he experienced God's forgiveness in a way he can neither deny or forget. He found, recognized, and acknowledges the Truth.

Only God can make that happen.

Yes indeed. I've known many lifelong Christians who could not have articulated their own beliefs/salvation any better.

Yes. Straight out of C.S. Lewis. Good for him and Lewis.

NO he hasnt done his homework.... He is that man. He has been for decades. Those on this site have judged his actions as if they were the scribes and pharisees. I would like to see how many others have used their talents ( I am talking talents in the parable sense) as well as Bono. Others have mocked his every motive. Those that are actually Christians everyday not just on sunday mornging know that what you just read is from someone with authentic faith not Bill Clinton the Bible is a prop faith.

I would reccomend we back of the Judgement not for Bono's sake but because what you measure will be measured to you.

Bono knows the gospel! There seem to be lots of Christians who don't. They instead give there hearts to Jesus or make a commitment to God or some such thing. It sounds like Bono is confessing that what matters is not what we give or do(thankfully in his and my case) but what God gives and does for us. This is true religion! I might not like his politics but his religion is spot on!
