He is making fun of people that do not believe in God. You have no way of knowing that everyone in that audience is a Christian, just like you can't be absolutely sure that everyone in church is a Christian. His whole purpose was to prove that people who believe in God would not do such a crime because they know they would be punished, but that is not true. Many people who "claim" to believe in God commit crimes all the time.....and they will still be held accountable. But, such an illustration is not something that a Christian person would even want to tell.He was talking about right and wrong and judgment.
Not actually doing the deed.
It is you who refuses to get it.
But you go ahead and continue to look uninformed and foolish and continue to try and make a good thing into a bad thing.
It is your right.
You think that telling such a story is such a good thing, then explain to me why Jesus never made up such a story? If you think that such an illustration is what is going to make people believe in God, why don't more preachers use such an illustration?
Because it is a sick illustration and you know it. You are just defending this idiot because the right-wing has adopted the idiots of Duck Dynasty as somehow being literate and all knowing just because they have a stupid show on TV. If anyone else not associated to the right wing were to say something like that you would certainly be shocked.
How about when Jesus talked about this?
Matthew 13:24-30)
The Son of man (Jesus) shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
I think that being burned alive would be much worse.
Yes, that is what the Bible says is going to happen at the end. But, the Bible doesn't say anything about Christians using vile and heinous illustrations of acts against children, women and men, to bring others to Christ. You're missing the whole point, which doesn't surprise me.
Again it was not about bringing others to Christ. The group he is speaking to are already believers.
But, you read stories about Christian people committing horrible crimes all the time. And you can't say that people that don't know God don't know the difference between right and wrong. Our laws spell out the wrongs very clearly.It is about people in this world who do not acknowledging right from wrong and not believing in God.
It is a sick illustration, nothing good about it, and the fact that you are trying to make it into some great illustration of why it is good to be a Christian is sad. You really don't understand Christianity much.Nope it has gone over your head and you are missing the whole point. You are the one who is trying to make it into something bad.
Says the one who did not even get what AmericanFirst meant, let alone what Phil Robertson was saying.
I am a Christian.
