What do you think of Ted Haggard's newest confession?

This guy may have all sorts of personal problems but for the life of me I can't see why so much attention is being paid to this bozo.\n\nI am not surprised by his confession and wouldn't be surprised if he makes a few more.  But quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

No, haggard is in a class by him self.  Marion really just screwed up him self.  But teddy, of course it seems easy for these guys to jump up and claim they got the message and there will be a gazillion people start tossing money at him and telling him what a great leader etc. he is.\nDon't worry he'll be shedding tears while the cameras are running telling us what an idiot he is asking for forgiveness and you'll see him with another army of idiots following him.

No, it’s not the divine word of Dan Brown anymore. Sorry, you’re doomed to hellfire and damnation, as are we all. Although I should point out that when it’s been done in the past it’s been called revisionism and this in turn would produce a whole new following along with belief structure. So hooray! We’re all saved again (sigh). \n\nYa know, I'd also like to say that I’ve also been reading a lot of your past questions and seeing the responses you’ve gotten from most of them and I realize one thing, people honestly feel that god can’t take a dirty joke. If God created us in his own image wouldn’t that mean he also had a sense of humor? Seriously! I mean if I were an atheist wanting to choose a life with god, these people would seriously give me reason to reconsider it. I for one wouldn't want to spend eternity with them, I'd probably be cast into the pit of hell for farting hard.

in my opinion?\n\nIt was a perfect example of the true way to obtain eternal life- through grace and faith- not through works.\n\nHere you have two criminals- being persecuted for some crimes- and one of them is hurling insults at Jesus- yelling "If you're the King of Kings and the Son of God- why don't you save us and save yourself?"\n\nBut the other one- the other one turns to Jesus and defends Jesus and asks Jesus to forgive him and remember him in Heaven.  And Jesus says: "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise"\n\nThis to me- is absolutely amazing.  Here are two absolutely opposite sinners.  Both of whom sinned and were being punished for their crimes- one who repents- one who doesn't.\n\nThe one who repents- the one who truly believes in Jesus as the Lord and Saviour- is saved right there on the cross.\n\nEternal life and being saved is by the Grace of God alone- through faith and belief in Jesus Christ as His Son.\n\nIt's an incredible story!!!

I'm not sure which "scholars" you're referring to, but I've never seen any support for your conclusions among mainstream Biblical academians. Could you give us some references on these "scholars"?\n\nFor what it's worth, I posted an entry about Haggard on my blog yesterday. Check out the link below.

I seen this man last month in my travels. Although I give him some credit for whatever it is he's trying to do I feel it is not in anyway comparable to what Jesus himself had to bare. If that's his intention he is not only cheating but failing miserably.

I say that each of us sees the biggest sinner in the world each day when we look in the mirror. None of us deserves the salvation that God offers us by grace through faith in Christ.\n\nFor what it's worth, check out my blog entry about Haggard that I posted yesterday.

His story has problems, and the hooker's story does too. Yesterday Haggard said he'd never heard of the guy, today he admitted he'd called him but didn't have sex with him. He said he bought some meth, but didn't use it. What's next? "I didn't inhale." The hooker failed his polygraph, but has been telling a consistent story that is at least partly confirmed by Haggard himself. Just based on Haggard's inconsistent story it's pretty obvious he's been up to no good. The fact that the hooker failed the polygraph is weird. But I guess those aren't 100%. That's why they don't use them in court. The guy is a hypocrite. What else needs to be said?

I think he is okay but, the hatred on gays is pathetic. He seem to have a christian prospective but, need some guidance. He consider himself a christian and going to heaven but, hating on gays is giving him a seat in HELL.

I agree with Silent Fire.  Well, at least on the bit about including ALL the available gospels and not just the ones that the church decided were "good enough to print."  Personally, I'm all for anything that shakes up the power-base of the church.  \n\nSeing how Aubrey is frightened by this gospel, outlook is good on it rattling a few floorboards!\n\nIf Jesus came back today, you'd see a huge repeat of the "My Father's house/vs/Den of Thieves" debacle.  The only thing more currupt than politics is religion.

I wonder if he puts Bible quotes on his tax return. \n\nIn some ways I feel sorry for him, his views seem to be so unbalanced and one eyed. I think he needs to get out more, and live life.\n\nOr at least get a second book to read.

This is what I find unacceptable. Are there that many sheep in America that this question even needs to be asked? We have Evangelical leaders railing against Gays and then we find he is paying for gay-sex and taking drugs. \n\nAll joking aside, I am sick of all these moralists and 'god-fearing' people who turn out to be bloodthirsty, warmongering, sexual deviants. WAKE UP AMERICA.

I doubt if he was taking meth. That was just a cover-up for his homosexuality. The other man denied selling him meth. He seems a lot more honest than the pastor. It was about sex, not meth. He has resigned from the church. His days of leading or fleecing the sheep are over. I can forgive people for their short comings, lord know I have mine, but to criticise and condemn others for doing the same thing you are is unforgivable. Hypocrisy is the real sin in this case. He is only sorry that he has been outed. He would have kept doing the same thing and leading a double life if the other man hadn't come out with the truth.

He has killed two men about two months prior. He grew out two dreads in his beard to remind him... one for each man. Their deaths were on his conscience. \n\nBut when he confessed his sin, the guilt was then released. It was more of a Catholic confession / forgiveness analogy. So he could remove the reminder because he was freed from the guilt after confession.\n\nDoes this make sense?
