re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

It has already been explained to you. That is not being done.
So stop with the faux outrage when you already know.


He was speaking about what was sin. That is not speaking hate.
You might want to learn the difference.

He was not loving his brother; he was preaching hate at the brothers who are not attracted to vaginas. Maybe you can't follow this, like you cannot follow how condemning homosexuals while ignoring those who eat shellfish is hypocritical.
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

If the persecution of gay people was so important, Jesus would have said so. To think otherwise shows such incredible arrogance and is so dismissive of the one they claim to follow as to be the work of a source quite different than the one they think they follow.
There is incredible arrogance in your assumption.
As persecution of gay folks, in their belief, would have been the norm, the fact that he didn't speak out against it says far more.

No he wasn't.
And there is nothing hypocritical about the other as you have already been shown.

And since you have already been shown multiple times, by various folks, it is you who are having issues with following and understanding.

You must not know the NT very well if you think it simply reinforces what was written in the OT.

One thing's for sure: The New Testament wasn't written, because The Old Testament got it all wrong. :lamo

That's sure a topsy turvy world you are living in where respecting Jesus as knowing what He was doing is a sign of "incredible arrogance and thinking you know more than Him isn't.

Have you ever considering following His teachings? It's Christmas, so why not start today?
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

Perhaps he meant better in a "they knew their place" kind of way.:(

Could be.
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

No, his personal experience makes no such connection.

Yes it does. It does require you actually think and recognize context.

Really? Good to know the OT "got it right when it commands parents bring disobedient children to the town square for a good old fashioned stoning :roll:
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 KJV - If a man have a stubborn and rebellious - Bible Gateway

Didn't Jesus in the NT stop a stoning, saying that those with no sins should cast the first stone? Seems to me this is in direct conflict with the OT.

Whoops...apdst.

What an ironic inclusion of a comma where you would not have placed it if you understood anything about English grammar and intended to convey the meaning you are attempting to convey. :lamo

That comma was misplaced?
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

Could be.

Or, it could be that his life experience was different than your's. I bet you never hoed cotton alongside black folks.
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

So go and start a thread on it dana. Instead of trying derail this one...This is a popular controversy in the news, sorry you don't like that....But, just like with a tv show you don't like you change the channel until you find one you like, if you don't like the thread, see yourself out....simple.

Not trying to derail this thread at all. My point, which is seeming to go over the heads of a few here, is that this is a non story. Destruction of freedom of speech? Since when were private companies part of the government? I don't get it. Meanwhile, while America debates this non story, our freedoms are REALLY being curtailed by an out of control government, and we don't seem to give a damn, to the point where we believe this non story becomes more important than the real life crap that is happening right in front of us.
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

Based upon what you were intending, yes. There shouldn't have been a comma at all were you indicating there was no such thing as the New Covenant.

Of course, Hebrews 8:6-7 belies your claim, but since your world view is based upon the O.T. rather than the New, I assume you have not read it.

I think the forum commentariat has enough time on their hands, even on Christmas, to debate and discuss both topics.

Yes it does. It does require you actually think and recognize context.

No it doesn't.
It requires an assumption to say such.

There is no connection there.

:doh
The only thing topsy turvy was your assertion.
If the persecution of gay people was so important, Jesus would have said so. To think otherwise shows such incredible arrogance and is so dismissive of the one they claim to follow as to be the work of a source quite different than the one they think they follow.

Which is an incredible arrogant assumption.


Nothing topsy turvey about it. If Jesus existed, that would be reality of it.

He spoke out about that he was against.
It is most likely he didn't speak out against something because he wasn't opposed to it.

And as stated; the persecution of gay folks, in their belief, would have been the norm, the fact that he didn't speak out against it says far more.
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

He spoke out about that he was against.


.

and since He didn't speak out against homosexuality.........

Like, Duh!

You can't even follow your own assertions to their rightful conclusions.

You think you know better than Jesus, and you call ME arrogant?
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

Which beside the point. Singing doesn't mean happy. Check out the birth of the blues and slaves singing. It's not his experiences that are in question. It's the mindset that leads to his conclusions of these experiences.
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

No it doesn't.
It requires an assumption to say such.

There is no connection there.

The connection is clear: when subjugated, happy. When free, unhappy. You can't pretend that isn't there.
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

It's not rocket science, bro.

Here. Educate yourself. Consider it a Christmas gift.
What Does the Bible Say About Loving Each Other?

Thank you, so you have NO theological background, and further established yourself hostile to Christians as a general approach, and now you want to bat around scripture like you know what you are talking about?

Your opinion concerning scripture means nothing to me, and you ought to be ashamed that you are so dishonestly using the bible in your smear of someone who answered the question paraphrasingly accurate. You are trying to use the bible against him, and are ignorant for that reason. That's my opinion.
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

The connection is clear: when subjugated, happy. When free, unhappy. You can't pretend that isn't there.
There is no connection except that which you made up.
He spoke about his experience.
It may be the norm or isolated. It does not change thew fact that it was his experience.
Anything else are the manifestations of your own biased thoughts.

So, why waste your time commenting then? Be honest, you wrote your small chastisement to the general board in here to kill a thread because you don't think we should be discussing it. Well, too damned bad for you, that we don't take direction from you isn't it?

Destruction of freedom of speech? Since when were private companies part of the government?

I don't think it is about Freedom of speech as much as it is a culture war type of controversy.

I don't get it.

I'm quite sure of that. But that doesn't mean that others shouldn't discuss it, just that you should educate yourself on the topic.

Meanwhile, while America debates this non story...

Your opinion. I can assure you that it has dominated the news cycle for a more than a few days now.

...our freedoms are REALLY being curtailed by an out of control government, and we don't seem to give a damn...

Not true. Is there not a thread or two, or more on the NSA on this site?

...to the point where we believe this non story becomes more important than the real life crap that is happening right in front of us.

Oh, I don't believe that, if you want to then by all means, but you only show that you think people should only talk about what YOU think is relevant in these times then by all means think that, but people can also think you are quite arrogant for expressing it.

Bull, you conflate to make yourself feel better about the lies being told about this man.
