Amen, Brad. I saw that show and if I recall correctly, he claims he knows nothing about Mormonism (he needs to brush up) and he refuses to judge whether Mitt Romney has a relationship with Christ or not. People love, especially here, to bash everything he says. I’ve been receiving his daily devotions from Vision and they’re wonderful. He’s an encourager and he uses scripture, etc. to back it up. He’s not the horrible preacher people think he is.
What would Jesus do?
He might go and worship beside the Mormons, embrace them and perhaps enlighten with love rather than subjective Bible scholarship.
I see these types of sayings pop up here from time to time. I suppose our Lord Jesus would have appeared to have been "bashing" those selling turtle doves for exorbitant prices in the temple when He threw them out. After all, weren't the sellers doing a service of convenience even though they were making a profit? Were those whips really necessary? Wasn't He coming across a bit insensitive and harsh rather than in a loving spirit? Is this how God would want us to act?
It becomes a matter of perspective.
“he claims he knows nothing about Mormonism (he needs to brush up)”
OK...well if that is the case, then maybe he needs to refrain from making comment about a subject he admits he doesn’t know about.
If you are going to agree that a particular set of beliefs is “chrisitan”, I am going to assume you have actually studied what those beliefs truly are.
That's because he says nothing of import. Kind of like a moderate. It's very hard to be impressed by a moderate.
2 and 3 replies on those Vision-posted devo threads... impressive! Sometimes even 4!
