about time someone had the balls to speak out against all the pc crap!!!
GO PHIL
GO PHIL
The family fired back today: 'we can't imagine doing the show w/o our patriarch.'about time someone had the balls to speak out against all the pc crap!!! GO PHIL
agree with him or disagree, at least he has a code he lives by. every president i can remember has claimed to be a christian-yes, even obama pretends to be. but when someone advocates following the teachings of the bible they get fired?The family fired back today: 'we can't imagine doing the show w/o our patriarch.'
That's code for 'this might be the last season.' They don't need a&e's money that's for sure.
Tbh, I'd vote for Phil. He couldn't possibly be any worse than the morons we have now...
i pray he doesn't back down!!! not 1 inch!!!As a god fearing man, Phil was well within his right to say what he did. Agree with him on almost every aspect (even beasteality =/= homosexuality) there is NO hierarchy to sin. Sin is sin.
At least, he stuck with his faith, religion and beliefs. Good for him!
If it's in the contract, then u r correct. If not, then everyone making it a freedom of speech issue is correct.Sigh... the irrationally never ceases to amaze me
A private company suspended an employee for expressing an opinion which that company felt represented them in a negative light. More than likely the guy signed a contract with A&E which had a clause that says he’s a representative of A&E and is expected to act accordingly. He violates the clause and A&E has a right to suspend him.
What is really mind boggling is how people are making this a freedom of speech issue. A&E was justifiable in their actions and he really has no defense against them.
The vast majority of public figure jobs have clauses such as this. Hell a majority of the jobs I have had they had it. But even if it wasnt in the contract then this is still not a freedom of speech issue. Freedom of speech protects you from legal prosecution. He faces no legal ramifications for what he said so there is no freedom of speech violation. People are confusing freedom of speech with the freedom to say whatever you want without ramifications for what was said from their peers or employers.If it's in the contract, then u r correct. If not, then everyone making it a freedom of speech issue is correct.
Not one jot or tittle of the law shall pass away until all is accomplished. That's what it is says in Mathew. The law isn't 10 commandments, it is 613. The law which says homosexuality is a sin calls for them to be killed for that sin and, with due respect, it calls for this guy to die because the products he is wearing on his show are made of mixed fibre.But who cares? Everyone knows the world hates God, Christ and anything particularly Christian. So why should this surprise us? Its part of the Christian faith to be hated and discriminated against anyways. He spoke his opinion and belief while still offering dignity and respect. Theres nothing more we should expect from anyone, atheist and Christian alike.
Sounds good. And fair.The vast majority of public figure jobs have clauses such as this. Hell a majority of the jobs I have had they had it.

If his contract did not have a clause for it then it is a legal issue not a freedom issue. Yes he has the freedom to say or believe whatever he wants but is not free from the consequences to what is said. He is only protected from government prosecuation and until he is thrown in jail for his beliefs then there is no freedom of speech violation.
Old Testament. New Testament still condones homosexuality, when Christ was born, Old Testament fell to "the wayside" if you would. So, the mixed fibre deal.. Void. We eat shellfish, and things that crawl on the ground (snake, alligator..etcetera). We lust, but do we pull our eyes out or cut off our hand? No, we would remove ourself from the situation or block porn sites on the internet instead..The vast majority of public figure jobs have clauses such as this.

Its always fun watching people cherry pick scriptures
Its cool man. I think I may have something that would interest u in the coming weeks related to homosexuality and how to approach it in todays society as a Christian.Old Testament.

So why even keep the old testament as part of the bible? If modern day Christians only follow the New Testament and the teachings of the Old Testament are no longer valid.Old Testament.

what i find fun to watch is how A and E underestimated how many americans share phils view.
now that really is fun to watch
lol, homosexuals would have a lot more to worry about than a guy on a tv show saying being gay is bad if they were living under islamic law. islam still follows the old testament and 1st offense for homosexuality is a severe beating, repeated offenses and it's the death penalty...Matthew 15:1-9
1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands before they eat!" 3 Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.' 5 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,' 6 he is not to 'honor his father' with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 " 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"
As you can see in verse 3, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for breaking the Commands of GOD Almighty. He gives an example of this by referencing the cursing of parents' punishment as an example. Then he goes on to quote from the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament, to further prove that they are not following the Commands of GOD Almighty.
What does this mean? It means that Jesus clearly had a problem with them not following the punishment of death for cursing the parents or any punishment of death that is commanded in the OT for this matter! In fact, Jesus himself said:
"Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)"
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
'The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.' (Matthew 23:1-3)"
Sorry but according to the bible old testament law should still be followed by Christians.
Anyway none of this is here nor there. The discussion is the comments made by the duck dynasty guy and the actions taken by his employer.
your ego is way too inflated...earth to joshYou seem to think I favor Islam over Christianity for some reason.
Also, I doubt you would find anyone who supports the stoning of homsexuals under islamic law and also opposes the view of homsexuality in the Christian faith. You keep referencing this mindset as common. I dont know in what fantasy world you are living in
You need the Spirit in order to correctly understand the Scriptures. Do you have that?The vast majority of public figure jobs have clauses such as this.

actually i could care less what if any your beliefs are.
You need the Spirit in order to correctly understand the Scriptures. Do you have that?
It doesnt seem. No one is cherry picking but it would take all night and a walk through of the entire Bible to explain such to a person like you.
And its more than 613 laws. But the law OF GOD is only 10 which is summed up into two: Love God and love others. Does this mean that everything else is permissible? By no means!
Read the book of Romans and leave the Christians alone, please. You have a problem with God's law then you hash it out with Him, not us.
Someone doesn't know his Christianity.
Sorry, but thanks for playing anyway.
You are 100% wrong.
Nice. I agree 100%Someone doesn't know his Christianity.
Sorry, but thanks for playing anyway.
You are 100% wrong.
It would help to actually understand the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament, and the implications of the New Covenant.
This is simply pathetic; truly abysmal.
Regardless of my feeling about what Phil (whatever-his-last-name-is) said, he is entitled to respond to questions posed during a an interview that had nothing to do with A&E. Fearing backlash from the gay and lesbian community, because they might not like the truthful and bionically based opinions of another, A&E proved they were cowards and voluntarily carved in.
Welcome to the new America. If you have an opinion that is not embraced by the liberal and so-called socially progressive movement, you will have your character assassinated, hateful allegations made against you and the new wussified I won't stand up for anything populace will roll over.
Substance?sigh... I dont know why I bother anymore. Not a single response of substance
Fixedsigh... I dont know why I bother anymore. Not a single response I would make any attempt to understand
He's voicing his opinion just like you're voicing yours, why are you allowed to voice your beliefs, yet he isn't allowed to voice his?Read the book of Romans and leave the Christians alone, please.
And, how does one do that exactly? Will he answer me if I ask him why the old testament is no longer valid?You have a problem with God's law then you hash it out with Him, not us.
Helps to be a friend of God before u ask him for random things. Wouldnt you agree?He's voicing his opinion just like you're voicing yours, why are you allowed to voice your beliefs, yet he isn't allowed to voice his?
And, how does one do that exactly? Will he answer me if I ask him why the old testament is no longer valid? Because he never answered me about more important **** than that.
I appreciate your response and the love it was provided with.Helps to be a friend of God before u ask him for random things. Wouldnt you agree?
He was murdering a faith, scripture and wisdom he doesnt understand. I was tryin to save him so confusion anyways. If he wants to keep talkin, let em talk. But he was talking to us like its us that have the problem with homosexuality. But it isnt exactly us. Its God!
But for you, I'd suggest searching the Scripture in a fair way for your answer to approaching God. The beautitudes might be a place to start. Break it down. Read the Hebrew version, too. Understand how God esteems the prideful vs the humble and helpless.
Also read Romans as I told Judo. Its a well-rounded book that explains it all really.
Have a good night.
I'm just curious as to what your beliefs are? Not to attempt to argue them, because likely many of you are much smarter than me! Just curious.We are getting off topic and I dont reeally want to get into a religious debate. From my experience it is always a dead end Instead lets get back on topic and try this Why shouldn't he have gotten suspended? Why shouldn't there be a public response to his beliefs? The foundation of his defense lies on those two beliefs. Please explain why you think he shouldnt have gotten suspended and why you think the public should ignore what he said.
I don't agree, I don't believe he will answer anything that is asked of him....ever.Helps to be a friend of God before u ask him for random things. Wouldnt you agree?
He was quoting scripture. Quoting it, how do you murder a quote, exactly? If you don't agree with certain parts of the bible in favor of other parts, then by all means do that, but don't get offended when someone points it out.He was murdering a faith, scripture and wisdom he doesnt understand. I was tryin to save him so confusion anyways. If he wants to keep talkin, let em talk. But he was talking to us like its us that have the problem with homosexuality. But it isnt exactly us. Its God!
That will never happen. I've read it before, on more than one occasion and will not be wasting my time looking for answers that do not exist.But for you, I'd suggest searching the Scripture in a fair way for your answer to approaching God. The beautitudes might be a place to start. Break it down. Read the Hebrew version, too. Understand how God esteems the prideful vs the humble and helpless.

It's funny to watch me agree with logical arguments instead of agreeing with the "you don't understand it because you don't have the holy spirit." opinion?I'd love to debate scripture, truth is, each denomination interprets the bible different. Scholars teach there classrooms and study the scripture different. So, this will end in NO good way.
On another note; Jim could you ride jj's jock any harder? It's funny to watch you float through threads riding a select fews coat tails (some who carry an elitist attitude) and pretend they are the end all to ANY conversation.
The bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic and greek. A lot of letters, scripture and writings had to be TRANSLATED, reason for the rewriting of text. Some of the Greek letters we had no clue what it translated to. So, as more scholars pop up, study and find new meaning to these words, letters and symbols... Therefore text, again, is "re written" (actually re worded to be more accurate).This looks like a come to jesus meeting thread now. Why is it that there are so many versions of religious belief, even within the same denomination? These "rules" to live by have been written and re-written by people who want followers to believe there word is the way,and to act and do a certain way. If you want to take the bible word for word,and it gives you comfort,then more power to you. I think you are ignorant for following any book of rules that has been changed so many times just to fit the needs of others.
