National Geographic pernicious.
Ted Baxter is no biblibal scholar. He is really overeaching with this one and I think its going to flop miserably.
Bill O’Reilly is qualified to write a book on this subject because......?
Anyone who thinks Bill O'Reilly is a conservative should think again: he dances around the middle, careful not to be too far left or too far right.
Any conservative who thinks they have a friend in Bill O'Reilly is sadly mistaken; Bill O'Reilly is in it for Bill O'Reilly. Period.
I think you are presuming too much. I believe that BOR is a devout Christian and will do nothing but present the ‘history’ as he can document it. No one can dispute that aside from being the Son of God, he did exist historically. Had it not been for Paul, we might never have known HIM.
His books on Lincoln and JFK were excellent. I say ‘wait and see’. Save your disputation for the actual results of his ‘work’.
I see.... Baxter thinks Jesus is dead.....
His head is way too big Now. What makes him the expert..seriously..I guess he’s the historian for all peoples now. Just hush, don’t take issue with him and do what he says/buy his books/see him in on stage, but why? He’s comes across as mostly saying he’s right on issues. I will be so glad when he retires since he’s becoming so know it all. He picks topics that are safe but when he tells us what he really thinks out of the box, he usually steps in it like.. thumping the Bible and now he will be a thump-er author. I liked him on Current Edition. This new method is so transparent. I am not jealous of his wealth. He keeps this up, he will lose viewers not because of the leftists, just because of his fakeness is coming through. He Was against gay marriage, now, it’s a human rights issue or we need the DNA to win the case. The DNA I have, comes from within and it tells me same sex relationships are not a productive way to survive our population in long term. So many issues will come into society which we are seeing already in the courts. I thought he cared the children and their rights.
He co-writes these books with another author. I wonder how much he actually writes, and how much he is just lending his name to the book for a share of the profits? If this other man wrote the books alone, they probably wouldn’t be big sellers. But by Bill O-Reilly adding his name, the sales sky-rocket. He doesn’t have the time to do the research on these books, so I don’t believe he is responsible for too much of the content.
I don’t see the attraction of O’Reilly at all. He’s not exceptionally smart, and it’s clear he’s mainly in the game for self-promotion. If he worked at MSNBC, he could “evolve” into something that would fit right in over there, I’m sure.
Presentation-wise, he’s bombastic and rude, but underneath his political values are the same as, say, Charlie Crist’s. Show him the money and attention, and that’s where he’ll stand.
If he’s decided to talk about Christianity, it’s because he saw the ratings the Bible series received on the History Channel.
Isn’t this the commentator that paid several million to settle a sexual harassment suit brought by one of his underlings? It was alleged that the victim had tape recordings of the telephone conversations etc. Now he gives us his views on Jesus. In my opinion a dignified silence would be more appropriate.
Chaplain, the only issue I have with your otherwise wonderful post is that I really don’t give a hang what Bill O’Reilly thinks about anything.
I get my information from a higher power, and I’m sure you do too.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Why do the nations conspirea and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
“Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
“I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
Psalm 2:1-6
The way O’Reilly has talked about Jesus and Christianity makes me think he’s not a believer. I think he likes being Catholic because of the social aspect of it but as far as believing Jesus is the son of God or God being real, he acts like they don’t exist.
You can use your remote to execute your own version of “Killing O’Reily”.
Why do conservatives continue to watch this foul-mouthed bloviator? Why?
Have someone like a R.C. Sproul or Michael Horton from the theologically conservative side on his show and then he’ll gain some credibility.
From the comments I heard OReilly say, killing Jesus had something to do with taxes.
When I heard him say that I thought OH NO!
He is really off, But then again I am just a Bible Thumper!!
When you do not have the Holy Spirit open your eyes, you get guys like O’Reilly!
Bump!
