TBN Mess

Sherri · #1 05-13-2010, 07:22 PM

Eddie was home yesterday afternoon, resting a little before church because he had a hard word to bring to the congregation last night. It was about carnality in the church - very sobering. Anyway, he flipped on TBN, which is rare, and they had Paula White interviewing Steve Harvey, the comedian. Steve made the statement that he felt like women shouldn't "give it away" during the first 90 days of a dating relationship - that they should wait that long before having sex. He said that he knew what the Bible said, but he also knew how women were! When he said that, the audience and the interviewers all clapped and laughed.

It made Eddie so mad and it just made me sick when he told me. I cannot believe that they laughed about this on the biggest Christian TV station in the world. God help us! Is there no sin anymore?

Did anyone else see this?

I didn't see it, but it really doesn't surprise me. I have been a supporter of TBN and others on here but I have seen somethings on there over the years that make me scratch my head. Also when that whole Paula White divorce thing was going on there were rumors and aritcles about how many of the ministers would hook up with people there for the tapings and such. I think those stories and rumors are rediculous myself. But again some of the things I have seen on there make me say, 'huh?'

I watched about 5 mins of it. The things he said didnt make sense so I turned it. Is he sure he wasnt just being a comedian? I mean it would have been a distasteful joke either way but surely they wouldnt let him seriously say that to millions of people.

wait,it get's worse. There is no hell either. Read the discussions in the general debate area. Yep, no Hell. Yet I had someone tell me the reason there is so much sin is because of the preaching of hell. Can you believe that? People sin because there is an eternal consequence to sin? I don't think so. The christian world is messed up and backwards

TBN could clothe and feed all the poor in Los Angeles for the price of their electric bill.

Actually, Jesus came because men are sinners, so is it a surprise that men sin? That is His purpose to bring about the end of sin, I don't think He is finished yet. It is His world not yours or mine, I believe He is well able to handle what He began.

I will continue to trust Him, since all the religiosity that man has come up with hasn't even begun to deal with the evil and wickedness in the earth.

One day a new day will dawn. And there will be no sin over there.
