It isn't any different with Tim. Though I do believe the fact his mom chose to ignore the doctors warning to abort him, is what really riles up the left. Tebow is a poster boy for what IS possible.
If it’s Gee-zas who makes him win, then it must be the same damn Gee-zas who makes him lose when he does lose, no?
alluded?
I cited the back side of his argument. If god was for Tim, the ipso-facto relationship of the argument is that he was against the Dolphins.
(no caps for argument’s sake)
I do not go around advertising my faith, but will explain it if asked. Perhaps it was all those years working as a wedding photographer and finding out what jerks all the “religious leaders” are. Perhaps it’s just my style.
I understand that, too.
Yes it is ok. You have all sorts of excuses to hate on God and people who show repect for the Lord of all that is.
PS Tim is not running around yelling Jesus is Lord like muslims do with akbar allah
Only if he is a fool. Thanking God for a win only acknowledges that the win falls within His plan. The opposition player who prayed but lost just as likely to have thanked God for the opportunity to play a kids game for a lot of money, and that he was not hurt in the contest. Have you ever been to an NFL game? Have you ever seen players from both teams praying together during warmups, postgame or especially when a player from either team is severely injured on the field? The acknowledgement of a soveriegn God in everyday life goes way beyond wins and losses. You should try it some time.
I’ll bet He wins every year.
Your conclusion is essentially just an interpretation, a perception.
I think Tim Tebow was just being thankful. I am willing to give a missionary for Christ the benefit of the doubt. That he was just being grateful for a victory, and any Christian should be grateful. They should give thanks for the victory they should give thanks that they did not get hurt.
The Bible teaches us this...
1 Thess 5:18 - In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
And there are many more...
Safe to say Vick will not be on his team.
I wish he’d spread a little more love to the Bears and give that front line some more moxy or Butler may wind up being a “greezy” spot on the turf by the end of the season.
Small world, isn't it?
Thank God for Tim Tebow.
Still waiting...
Pretty much the whole Redskins team was very openly and vocally Christian in the 80’s under Joe Gibbs. They managed to get to 3 Super Bowls, won 2, and no one dared criticize him or them.
Heck if I know. Perhaps you should ask him!
Glad Tebow’s a Christian and isn’t afraid to show it, but come on now. I seriously doubt God cares about who wins a football game. I have a hunch He is more concerned about more important things.
OK so you only have conjecture... Figures.
Perhaps you would like to read more about that tactic.
All coins have two sides, as do all statements. One does not have to say something to have their statement infer it.
Tim's a good man. He wanted to praise God, something which I believe should be done in prayer, between friends or from the pulpit - not in public. The selective praise leaves openings for valid criticism, as I pointed out. Tim would never say that God was against the Dolphins, because he's a good man and because that would be an incredibly stupid thing to say. (Are you listening?)
If God is omniscient, he knows what's in our hearts and minds. We don't have to go-a-praising every time we see a microphone or crowd.
Go Broncos!
