Yes, I didn’t clarify myself. In Evangelicalism we talk about the Gospel and basic tenants of faith as nonnegotiable. Other peripheral issues such as the exact interpretation of eschatology, the security of the believer, the granting of ecstatic gifts, etc, as peripheral and given to much debate amonst the many denominations. On the core issues I believe Rev. Hagee to be be faithful and his spiritual insights need to be heeded.
So I am guessing that whether or not bearing false witness is sinful is considered a peripheral issue up for debate since that is what Hagee engages in with his pronouncements on Catholicism.
I've seen some of his sermons and the only conclusion I've come to is that you have to be an outright masochist to be a member of his church the way he rails on at his congregation.
Nothing like a bout of self-flagellation on an early Sunday morning.
Anyway, Hagee is pompous, self-righteous fringe demagogue who runs his church as his own personal fiefdom, accountable to no one but himself. McCain was a fool to seek his endorsement.
