I pray for his recovery but asknowledge that he has run the good race and if his time has come, I certainly accept his Homegoing. We would be diminished by his earthly loss but he would surely gain.
Well I guess we'll have to agree to disagree...still I hope he recovers.
He's a great guy.
My brother-in-law works for him.
Prayers for his recovery.
Does anybody know about the declining health referred to in the WorldNet article? I've noticed he's not been as strong and forceful in his sermons lately. I missed his Christmas Eve sermon.
Are you one of those 'Christians' who knows who will go to hell and who won't? I was married to one of those once. She talked a good talk, but fell on her face every time she tried to 'walk' - the biggest hypocrite I ever met.
Tell me something - how do you sleep in your glass house, Tim? By now I am sure there's not enough tape and flanel in your whole town to patch up all of the holes from the rocks you've thrown in your glass house.
OBTW - if you want to find your way out of self-serving heresy you might consult with either of the arms of the true Church - Catholic or Orthodox. Both have a long tradition going back to the time of Christ, and neither have priests who can just make it up as they go along, a la American evangelical cretins.
That's French, Tim. Might want to look that one up as well.
My husband and I were fortunate enough to be sent by our church to take the training from Dr. Kennedy and his staff. That training was the basis for all the other theology I learned. I am sorry to hear he is so gravely ill.
That would be Dr. Donald Barnhouse, I presume.
I pray the Lord grants him more time. He is a true man of God, in a world of phonies.
You've got a lot of hatred in your heart, my friend. And your rejection of the gospel as it's expressed through many Evangelical churches is puzzling. Why such hatred?
"American evangelical cretins"? You know that "evangelical" means "good news," right? Surely you're not rejecting the good news (the "gospel") of Jesus, are you?
I hope he recovers. He seems to be a great man. I'm honestly surprised he's still alive. People tend to just drop dead from massive heart attacks. I've witnessed this.
Dr. Kennedy is a courageous champion for the cause of Christian conservatism. Drop the "Christian" and its still true, he is conservative through and through. Freepers should know they have a great ally in Dr. Kennedy.
They don't make 'em like him anymore. A vanishing breed.
God bless him and his family.
If you read between the lines of my comment on this subject on my home page you can figure it out.
The most despicable and abusive person I have ever had to suffer under - for more than a decade - hid her (lack of) character behind an avalanche of 'born-again' lingo, and dismissive statements as to who was and was not burning in hell, as well as who was or was not a 'good Christian'.
Interestingly, she was convinced that 'Ronald Reagan isn't a Christian' because she had not heard him bible-thumping like she did. Turned out that remark of hers has been pretty conclusively debunked, hasn't it?
In my opinion, American evangelical Christians are often prey to a multitude of snake oil salesmen who make up doctrine as they go along, and for that I pity them and urge them to wake up!
I do not place Dr. Kennedy in that category, and this whole line of comments got going when that 'Tim Long' fellow started hurling personal insults in reply to my own positive statement and tribute to how Dr. Kennedy had impacted my life.
For the record, I have absolutely no clue who this fellow Long is - someone emailed me that he and I had 'locked horns before' - presumably on a 'Crevo' thread, but I have no such recollection. I'm glad if I can remember what I had for breakfast this morning!
Maybe that's why he sprung so quickly to imply that I was 'Spawn' (of satan, I presume).
I took it as a truly bizarre insult from someone I had no recollection of ever 'sparring with'....
But if you choose to get in the ring with me, you'd better be prepared to take it like a man instead of disingenuously whining about being misunderstood after I have metaphorically eviscerated you.....
Prayers for Dr. Kennedy, his family, and his flock.
Do you want me to judge all of the Roman Catholic church because of some pedophile priests and Mary-worshiping parishoners?
I didn't think so.
You really should re-evaluate your doctrine. There are hypocrites in every "faith." And we all need a Savior.
You can judge all you want at your own peril. My doctrine is that I trust in God and not in any man who claims to knows him 'personally' - or who claims 'infallibility' on matters of faith...although I might add that I'd take the spiritual advice of either of the last 2 Popes over 99% of all Protestant preachers... (Billy Graham and a few other folks like him excluded)...
You want to know what real heresy is? Its going to a revival where Kenneth Coleman regales the crowd about how "God told him to buy a million dollar jet", and then tells how his Congregation ponied up the money for it.
Or going to a revival where Creflo Dollar preaches the gospel of "Success" and actually invites folks at the end to come and lay $$$ bills at the feet of John Haggee, the pastor at whose church he's preaching his revival.
Anecdotal? Nope. I was personally present at both events in the late 1990s.
What about Haggee? I admire his oratory and iron-spine in the face of political correctness, but I've been at several sermons where he explained how dinosaurs could have existed millions of years ago because if you read Genesis carefully there was a creation BEFORE Adam and Eve - essentially, you can both be a Bible-literalist re: the geneology AND accept that dinosaurs lived 100 million years ago!!!
THAT, my friend, is twisting yourself into a theological pretzel!!
I accept and agree with what Pope John Paul The Great concluded: that the theory of evolution and the Gospel are not mutually exclusive. I think he MIGHT have had a LITTLE more credibility on the subject than the armies of know-nothing 'new-earth evangelicals' do.
Oh, and St Augustine also wrote extensively about Genesis not being a literal account, and about the danger of Christians driving unbelievers from the faith by spouting idiocy on subjects (read: SCIENCE) that they know nothing about, but their listeners DO.
That should read "Kenneth COPELAND" in the above post...
