Liz Raftery doesn't seem to have a problem judging Tim Tebow's religion but she has a problem when the rest of us judge other relgions ourselves....hypocrite.

New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow is scheduled to speak at a megachurch in Dallas whose pastor has spoken out against Muslims, Jews, Mormons and members of the LGBT community.
Tebow is listed as a special guest at one of the First Baptist Church's morning services on April 28, according to its website.
The church is led by Evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress, who has previously denounced non-Christian religions such as Islam, Judaism and Mormonism.
Leading up to the most recent presidential election, Jeffress warned parishioners that re-electing President Barack Obama would "lead to the rise of the Antichrist," according to The Christian Post.
While denouncing the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," Jeffress also declared that 70 percent of the gay population has AIDS, and referred to it as "a gay disease," according to ThinkProgress.org.
Tebow has made no secret of the fact that he's a devout Christian, but has shied away from taking a stance on controversial social issues.

You don’t have to be a Jew to be a Karaite, just hold to the written word of YHVH.
Jeffress has further questioned the commitment of the conservative clergy to the preservation of traditional societal morality. In an interview with The O’Reilly Factor, which aired on December 11, 2012, on the Fox News Channel, the Dallas pastor questioned why many clergy falsely perceive Christ as
this little, wimpy guy who walked around plucking daisies and eating birdseed and saying nice things, but never doing anything controversial. The fact is, Jesus did confront his culture with truth — and he ended up being crucified because of it. ... Wimpy pastors produce wimpy Christians — and that is why we are losing this culture war. I believe it’s time for pastors to say, You know, I don’t care about controversy, I don’t care whether I’m going to lose church members, I don’t care about building a big church. I’m going to stand for truth regardless of what happens.”
Can you explain how the Oral Torah is a lie?
Better yet,can you explain the contradictions galore in the Cristian bible? Can you explain how Jesus can be G-d and man at the same time?
Christianity contradicts Judaism and the Hebrew Scriptures. Those who say otherwise are completely misinformed.
Look who is judging Tim Tebow...

Yeah, Dunno why I said Job- I think I even said it in another thread a week ago too- Good catch-
> “Can you explain how the Oral Torah is a lie?” <<
.
In simplest terms, it has to be a lie because it contradicts Torah in thousands of ways. Oral torah’s authors are the same men that slaughtered YHVH’s prophets.
>> “Can you explain how Jesus can be G-d and man at the same time?” <<
.
If I could explain that, I would have to have the wisdom of YHVH, but by his actions we surely know that Yeshua is, as he said, one with the Father. He resurrected the dead at will, he healed thousands by forgiving sin, and who else could possibly do that?
He was born in the sheepfold of the passover lambs at Sukkot. His ministry lasted exactly 70 weeks, symbolizing the 70 Sabbath years that Israel disrespected, and died on the cross as the passover lambs were simultaneously being slaughtered by the priests. His blood was released as the Roman soldier’s sword pierced his side, and as has recently been discovered, ran through a crevice in the rock of Golgotha, onto the mercy seat of the Ark that had been hidden in a cavern below by the high priest, centuries earlier, as Jerusalem was under siege for those 70 Sabbath years that had been ignored.
>> “Christianity contradicts Judaism and the Hebrew Scriptures...” <<
.
How so? “Christianity” was not a word used by Yeshua’s disciples. They knew him as Messiach, not the cristos. The cristos was a mythical figure of the Greek Pantheon, not YHVH’s Messiach. Yeshua’s way was Judaism, perfected by the permanent forgiveness of sin through the Lamb of YHVH. Yeshua’s disciples celebrated each of YHVH’s appointed feasts, and taught the people to do so. What you call “Christianity” was invented by Constantine, over 3 centuries later.
You are just re-hashing all the arguments every other Christian has before.
Any info given to you by a Christian is going to be incorrect. It is not coming from a Jew,or even a Noahide.
If you are curious about the Noahide faith,which is a legitimate faith,you can look it up on the Internet. Lots of info all over.
I’m not hashing anything; I’m telling you the truth that your unbeliever’s mind rejects.
There is no “legitimate” Noachide faith. It is a creation of Mystery Babylon.
There IS a Noahide faith. It is based on the covenant G-d made with Noah. There are 7 Laws Noahides live by. Noahides share some similarities with the Jews,such as Torah and the writings of the prophets. Did you even bother to look it up?
Christianity is Pagan and idolatrous.

You can make up all you wish, but YHVH left his word to declare the only way to eternal life, and Noachide nonsense is not it.
That is of course a problem that you’ll have to deal with.
Chaio!
I’m going to take a shot in the dark and say you didn’t even bother to look it up.
I am not afraid of hell because there IS no hell. It is a man-made idea to scare the pants off people in order to keep them in line. The Jewish Scriptures make NO mention of hell. It is abhorrent to G-d Himself.
I know I’m going to get flamed but here goes: I can see why atheists detest Christianity,at least in part. It’s the old “without jesus you are doomed to an eternal hellfire”. “Ours is the ONLY path to G-d” “Without jesus your life is empty”... ect,ect,ect. Who wants to believe in an cruel and vindictive G-d who has no problem casting people to hell?
And the Christian bible contradicts itself. I can give you proof but it’ll only go in one ear and out the other.
Mental illness must be hard to endure.
Not nearly as hard to endure as you.
I’m done being polite. You aren’t exactly the best Christian,are you? I thought you were supposed to follow the teachings of your Pagan god jesus.
Don’t respond unless you have a LEGITIMATE response.
You are easily the most impolite postor on this site.
(and the least informed too)
I know what you are trying to do and it ain’t gonna work.
You don’t even know what you’re trying to do.
