So because a television show does not support your personal prejudices you want everyone to stop watching ABC?The entire aim of the entire show was to make you believe that Paul just made up everything that he wrote and that Jesus didn't approve of it. And, it was an obvious ploy to promote homosexualityThe Assyrian Baptists guy, for example said basically that Paul's writings are bunk because Jesus (in his opinion) would accept homosexuals whereas Paul taught they will not inherit the kingdom of God. .
You seem to be saying that anyone who disagrees with your personal interpretation of your bible is evil and out to destroy Christianity.He also said that the apostles were prone to error like you and I and that we can't wholly trust what they wrote, thus leaving the viewer with the impression that they'd be better off making up their own religion than reading the Bible. And, of course, Jennings kept refering to Christianity as the "Jesus Movement" indicating that he got most of his junk from the "Jesus Seminar" which is constantly trying to destroy God's Holy Word.
You have the right to decide to not watch ABC if you so choose. I will continue to do so however, that is my right. It is also the right of people to believe differently than you do and to express their different beliefs. Perhaps if you took the time to look at and speak to people of other faiths you would not feel so threatened when you discover that there are people who do not believe what you believe at all and that this difference of belief does not make them bad nor does it mean that they are attacking your religion or you personally.Throughout the entire thing he was trying to persuade you that Paul didn't really see the risen Christ, that Christ didn't rise, or at least didn't rise bodily, and that Paul just made stuff up or changed Jesus' message whenever he saw an opportunity to bring in more people. Now, honestly, if that doesn't offend you, you need to evaluate your faith. Now there is also the fact that Jennings will not do a defamatory show like this against Islam - only against Christianity. Why? Because it's only acceptable to hate Christians in this country. Everyone else has rights.

I have been told that the love of the Christian God was unconditional. However you are saying that this love and acceptance is very conditional.I don't think that's the point that was being made. I think that Jesus would have accepted homosexuals if they were willing to change. That's the whole idea of repentance
So I would be accepted by your god if and only if I pretend to be something other than what and who I am. But that would mean I was lying about who and what I am. Please explain to me why being homosexual is such a horrible thing but lying about being a homosexual is a good thing.We must never lose sight of the fact that sin is sin. Those who lie are no better off than those who steal, than those who fornicate, than those who are homosexuals. Someone who lies and will not repent is no more accpetable than someone who is a homosexual and will not repent.
Well I guess that comes form being told time and again that the Christian god is a loving and accepting god and he loves everyone unconditionally. As you have pointed out, this is not the case, how thoughtful of you.I believe that this is something that christian-only understands and was what he meant by his post. In my understanding he mean that those homosexuals who expect to be accepted without having to change, without having to repent, are the ones who will be in trouble.
Boy I can really feel the love.This does not mean that we shouldn't love them as we are commanded to love all in the command to love our neighbors - but we must understand that if we really do love them, then we will not shy away from trying to teach them the truth and help them to repent of their sins.
Motor City Christian said:In response to the OP, I agree with you. The show was quite blasephemous. I think I will boycott everything except their sports programming. Not that I liked much to begin with....
Good riddance to Pat Robertson, he could not dissappear soon enough.....Rev.TJ said:If you boycott a network, and are so successful that the network shuts down, this could happen.
Countless people would lose their jobs. ABC TV would be shut up. A&E would close down. ABC FAMILY CABLE TV (Where Pat Robertson and company broadcast from) would be closed.
ABC Sports; gone.
ESPN: Gone.
So not just one network would feel the pain, if this was to work.
The problem with boycotts in today's world, is a lot of things are interconnected.
I guess I'm in trouble somewhere,,,I recorded it!christian-only said:The horribly blasphemous program "Jesus and Paul" demands that everyone who claims to be a Christian cease watching and or supporting ABC. No more ABC, no more Disney, unless you think funding antichristian programs is what the Lord desires for you to do. In fact, just delete ABC's channel from your TV so you don't even have to pass by it to get to others anymore.
