CHristians are you watching the Ted Haggard thing?

When I lived in Colorado Springs, I attended New Life Church (Ted Haggard's church) I have to say that we didn't, don't and don't ever plan on putting our faith in a person. Ted, whether or not he is guity of this, is a horribly sinful man, just like I am a horribly sinful person, just like David in the Bible, and dozens of others have fallen so low that they could never, ever even imagine receiving any type of forgiveness from God. Just because he was a pastor, does not protect him from the sin of this fallen world we live in. David was a man after God's own heart, yet committed adultury and murder. Not saying that was right, but it's times like these that we have to realize that we are weak humans that are naturally prone to sin, and we just need to always be asking God to protect us, and rooting our faith in Him and His Word, rather than in mere man.

I believe it is a religious war. Evangelical Christians, most anyway, are intolerant of other religions.

Since I don't believe in such a being, nothing.\n\nBut I wonder what Christians think about their god watching them on the toilet, having sex etc.

All these WASP Christians would do alot better in the eyes of many regular Christians if the practiced what they preached instead of asking for money all the time.  I've watched Billy Graham programs before, & I don't recall hearing him crying for dough.  He would give an alter call at the end of his programs, though.  \n\nRobertson, Benny Hinn, and alot, but not all, associtation with TBN need to get rid of their $500 suits, and $100 dollar haircuts, and do some real good with all the money donated to their ministries.\n\nOne young man impresses me, and that Kirk Cameron on TV. He has only a 1/2 hour slot, & I don't get to see him all the time, but he's down to earth and preaches the message.

My issue Dd is, I would like to know who these 35 out of every 100 Americans are. Do these people not live in the same world as the rest of us? I would even argue these are the same sort of people who go and listen to Ted Haggard.

Not a priets, a fundamentalist minister.  His name is Ted HAggard and he was the leader of a huge church and one of the largest politically active funamental Christian organizations in the country.

As a firm believer in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, I must admit, that the book was well written. The cast of the movie is top notch. However the movie is complete blasphemy against our Lord. The Bible clearly shows the Life of Jesus, no where does it mention Him being married or having children. \nIt is sad, but true, that many Christians and non-Christians that watch this movie are going to be shown a perverted view of Jesus Christ.\nIf somebody was really interested in learning about the Lord God, please I encourage you to pick up a Bible. \nCompare how Jesus fulfills all the prophecies about the coming messiah. Some of which were written 500+ years before His birth.\n\nJohn 3:16- For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son, that whoever shall believe in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved.\n18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God

Yes, I think that is horrific that he would lead so many people and live a lie.  I can not stand hypocrites.  How are you supposed to preach about Sodom and Gomorrah when you are living in it.  It makes me sick.  I am a Christian, but it seems like a lot of these people who claim to be Christian Leader's are going to hell in a hand basket.  Yes, he needs criminal charges brought against him for being a liar, drug user, and male whore.  I just want to throw up!

My friend, you have hit on something that God is doing in this hour.  Pray!  He's leading you to a conclusion that the mainstream church may not agree with, but which God is expressing at this time.  God has a plan for His Church, and it is not to finish it's course on earth in corruption.  :)\nIf you want any further discussion, always feel free to e-mail me.

Actually I worked with a very cruel woman who was a minister in the the No Name Church.  She justified mistreating those in her way as necessary in the world at this time.  (I don't think it was their belief, I just think the wrong person in their religion was given some power.)  I witnessed many manipulative cruel schemes in the work place to help her gain a position of power.   I grew up in a fundamentalist hotbed of religion and thought I had seen and heard everything up to that point.  People like Ted Haggard may do damage on a phenomenal scale, but I have never seen evil masked as Christianity as I did with this woman.  It was truly a eye opening experience as I listened to how other members had to come to her for council and her advice . . . such as advising one man to divorce his wife.  Part of her rationalization was the marriage ceremony was not printed in the Bible so it was a man-made contract not supported by the Church.

I think it's good that he has stepped down from his church and from the other organization he was leading, but Christians also need to cut out the gossip and gawking and pray for the guy. Check out the blog entry below that I just posted about Haggard.

First let me appauld you for taking a stand. I myself am a father also and we don't celebrate Christmas in sense of what world does for the season. I personally don't do it because it has been so commericalize and this is an attack of the prince of this world. The devil has done anything and is willing to do anything to take Christ of Christmas. He has been successful with removing prayer in schools, removal of the ten commandments in the judicial system and etc. In turn he has replace it with same sex marriages, the flaunting of homosexuality on every media market available, lewd television shows and basically the I'm going to do me attitude of many people in this world. Don't be confused, this should be in no way shocking. People for years have been carrying on the legends of lies from, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy, santa claus and a host of other falsehoods. John chap 3:19 (paraphase)says man loves darkness rather than light because his heart is evil. The Christmas of this day for the most part does not glorify God in any sense. It's a numbers game that is all about money. The more we sell the fatter our wallets. It has created a bigger air of greed in the world today. Just look at all the choas over video games, elmos and etc. People are getting hurt over this foolish. This breeds violence, hate,envy, jealousy and so on. God can surely not be please. Please don't expect the world to understand or make the difference. This is the job of us so-called christians. The salt of thee earth as the bible refers to us. Many people love the lies because their father the devil is the father of lies. Many Christians celebrate christmas in the way of the world because many of them are afraid to stand up, some just don't know any better and some are just self professed christians who don't follow the way of the Lord. This isn't a honest or just world so expect any better. Strive to be the best you can be and try to help who you can on the way.Thank you and If you want to listen and be apart of a Bold Bible Based Ministry.

The bible actually condemns what these television evangelists are doing.  I'm not sure where I read it in the bible, but it does say that using religion for profit is an inexcusable offense.

I saw a special about this on CNN and about all the really fundamentalist Al Qaeda people watch is Tom & Jerry cartoons. Most Muslims though have no more restriction on that than Christians do (or supposed to).
