If Pastor Haggard believed in God would he buy meth?

Anything like this can happen to ANYONE who takes their eyes off of Christ and starts focusing on the things of the world. Pastors are probably the most vulnerable of all since they are in the direct line of fire spiritually. Check out my blog below for an entry I just wrote about Ted Haggard.

He is definitely a hypocrit.  That is why Jesus said, "Follow Me" and not "follow those who claim to follow Me".\n\nSadly, the unbelieving world sees hypocrisy like Haggard's and judges all Christians to be fake.  Some of us have really been transformed by the grace of Jesus.\n\n"Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!" - Matthew 18:7

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!

Sure would clean up a lot of corruption if they followed that now wouldn't it?\n\nMan went away from God. That's where all the corruption comes from.\n\nIf we all followed the Bible correctly there would be a lot of harmony in this world.

No.  The idea that there's no God is opiate for the masses.\n\nLike a drug, secularism deludes people.  It deludes them into thinking that they can do whatever they want in this life.\n\nIt also dulls them to the reality that some day, we will all have to answer to God for our behavior.\n\nReligion is the opiate of the masses?  Whoever pushes this idea, is pushing an "opiate" that is far more dangerous, spiritually speaking, than any other "drug" out there.

Ted Haggard was the leader of a large evangelical  church. Evangelists are Christians, they believe the same, the only difference is that Evangelical Preachers put more emphasis in pointing out sin and getting people saved. That is why Ted Haggard is such a hypocrite, his poor wife, she has to raise five children and know that her husband is a secret homosexual. What a burden she carries.

I'll bet if Jesus was around today he would hitch-hike

He is the big Evangelical Preacher that really headed up an anti-gay thing. Now he has been caught buying drugs and dealing with a male prostitute who  says he has had sex with the Reverend

You are probably a little off on that, but you never know.  However, just thinking back about how he would get upset with people concerned with money and those things he would probably shop at Mervins or Ross or something like that.  I am certain though he wouldn't dress according to what was "in" and he probably wouldn't be rockin out too much (although I hope he doesn't mind my listening to stuff like RATM). I guess the bible does say he will be wearing white when he returns, right? Or was it red? One of them, haven't read Revelations in a while.

God would not do that. Men created religions and it is the word of men that you quote, NOT GOD.

Forgiveness is essential. Now unless something has happened since I saw the News Last Night, he only confessed to Meth use. I doubt the Homosexual accusations. But even if that were true, Forgiveness is essential.

That would be a yes. Gotta have Jesus, or ya goin to hell.

I believe that he would.  Jesus was a definite  liberal of his time.  In my opinion, the introduction of the words sin, hell, and satan did not come from the man, Jesus.

I think he would but something in there about Jesus dying for your sins and giving you a ticket to heaven.

You'd have to ask God.

One night in a reckless act of youthfulness, I drove my jeep 12 miles up a canyon on parallel snowmobile tracks.  When I finally got buried, I was on my way back down but going too fast so I drove quite a distance off the trail.  I uncovered the jeep, but had no traction, so I prayed to God.  He immediately answered, like he had been watching me, I asked him to put me back on the track, and he said why.  I said Jesus said, and he told me to get back in the jeep and he would put me back.  He did and as I continued the journey down the mountain I asked what I owed him.  He laughed and said I owed him nothing that he didn't already own.  My life became really interesting after that because others saw the tracks and wondered. A local religious person even offered me a Motor home to live in as we together would make money with this message.  I declined because its not any different than what others teach if they have learned what Jesus teaches. Proof I suppose would be pictures of where I had been buried in the snow and my exit out back to the trail?  Someone must have pictures because I told no one in the area of that drive.
