Well now they’ve gone after old Phil Robertson, better known as the Duck Commander on the popular reality TV series Duck Dynasty. His crime was saying that he believes the Bible when it states that homosexuality is a sin. Granted he could have put it a bit more elegantly, but after all he is the Duck Commander. Robertson ignited a firestorm and debate on religion and tolerance in an interview with GQ magazine. The writer asked him what he considered to be sinful behavior.
“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men,” Robertson said.
Then he paraphrased Paul’s letter to the Corinthians: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers – they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”
So A&E cable has suspended him indefinitely because they are a liberal entity and support the homosexual agenda and not the Bible. It is surprising that they iced the show because it is the most popular television show if its kind with some 11 million ardent viewers. This family is so popular that they’ve sold some $500 million dollars of merchandise with their brand on it just this year. Kind of makes you want to grow a ZZ Top style beard and start hunting ducks eh?
Well A&E may not be so committed to their ideology as they are to money. To show their true colors and hypocritical nature, in spite of kicking Phil off the show this weekend has been declared Duck Dynasty weekend and they are showing reruns all weekend and he is in all of them.
Huh?
I mentioned not long ago that the day will come when anyone who speaks out against the homosexual agenda as I do in Words for the Day will be imprisoned and it will be treated as a hate crime. Phil didn’t say he hated homosexuals; he simply said that God said homosexuality is a sin. I wonder if they would’ve fired him had he said that adultery, murder, stealing, lying, or greed are sins. The Bible says those are sins too, but I guess that notion is outdated too and only a bunch of far right fundamentalists who are from the south and thus ignorant believe it.
I get so sick of these pseudo intellectuals telling us the Bible is outdated. It started with same sex marriage. The Bible states it is wrong and that marriage should be between a man and a woman and no nation in the history of the world has ever allowed it, but the USA is now “progressive” and did just that. Just recently Utah passed a law making polygamy legal, (now you can have all the wives you want). A couple of days ago it was reported that a man in Wisconsin wants to marry a woman, but the problem is that he is currently married to a man. So the question of the day is must he divorce the man or risk being declared a bigamist, or can he stay married to both and thus open up another can of worms?
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal voiced support for his embattled duck hunting constituents stating in part: “The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with,” he said. “It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended.”
The Robertson family released a statement and said they would not continue the series without the patriarch and defended Robertson’s comments and stressed that they are a “family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word.”
“While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible,” the family said. “Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart’ and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Phil would never incite or encourage hate. The family also criticized A&E for its actions, saying he was placed on hiatus “for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right.”
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council probably stated it best when he expressed to Fox News that the suspension shows Hollywood wants to avoid reality stating: “The reality is that the Robertson family are Bible-believing Christians who don’t cherry pick what the Bible teaches. It is time for all Americans to take a stand against the cultural elites who want to destroy the livelihood of people and remove God and His truth from every aspect of public life”.
Last night I attended a Worldwide Ministry board meeting and we began planning in earnest how we can ignite a firestorm of our own to wake up those in our land and begin a Renewal of Faith all over America and take back our country. We are sick and tired of a very small minority destroying life as we once knew it by taking away our religious freedom with their intolerance. These numbskulls are virtually removing God from every segment of our society. Just look at the putrid lack of morality of our nation today. Check out our education system that 1 of 3 kids don’t even graduate from high school in. Or how about our corrupt government with its liar President. Can’t forget greedy business people taking advantage wherever and whenever they can. And of course there is Hollywood and the disgusting media with their sex crazed violence.
It’s enough to make one want to puke!
Our nation by the way was founded as “One nation under God”, (something the liberals are systematically stripping out of our society and historical records). They are turning our country into a socialist/communist style society as we sit around waiting for someone to tell us what to do.
Well stay tuned because similar to Japan waking up a “sleeping giant” with their cowardly sneak attack on Pearl Harbor we are preparing our battle strategy. The silence of the lambs being led to slaughter will no longer be tolerated. Enough is enough!
Yes we have some work to do, but it is achievable and it is urgent that we act soon. I noticed a poll that stated that just 45% of those surveyed in this country believe that anything is wrong with homosexuality. Had that poll been taken in the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah it would have been closer to 99% and yet look what God did to them. That poll is just an indicator of the extent of progressive brainwashing that has occurred.
Far too many folks have lost all hope of restoring America to her former glory days. The message of my life is that we should never lose hope; we serve an awesome and mighty God and no task is too great for Him, provided we will seek Him, put our faith in Him, and earnestly change our direction.
A prominent pastor friend of mine told me a little known fact that during the Revolutionary War only 13% of the settlers fought against the British. A whopping 50% fought WITH the British and some sat it out and yet freedom was won. Progressives and liberals are in the tiny minority in this country and yet they are determined, well financed, and have accomplished big things that have rapidly deteriorated America.
Imagine how much more the vast silent majority in our society can accomplish, provided we get top leadership involved in this renewal of America movement. We can remove the silence of the lambs going to slaughter and mobilize an army of Christians. I’m reminded of my life’s verse: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!” and I’m encouraged.
In the months coming up I will be telling you how you can join this movement and be an important part of returning this country to its original state of being a God fearing nation that understands that there is a King that we serve and His name is Jesus. He is all powerful and will go before us! Amen . . .
Have a great weekend and go to Honey Lake Church, (or somewhere) this weekend!
Acts 3:19
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord . . .
