| The congregation of the First Baptist Church of Dallas gave their pastor a standing ovation as he began to deliver the Sunday morning sermon – a sign of affirmation for Dr. Robert Jeffress – a man under siege from the national media and gay marriage activists. Jeffress and the church have been accused of promoting hate speech and anti-Semitism simply for believing that marriage should be between one man and one woman and that salvation through Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. In the midst of the controversy, NFL quarterback Tim Tebow backed out

It´s a shame the media doesn´t pay more attention to the really important things in the world. They will attack anyone who doesn´t follow their approved behavior.

I guess we have too many namby-pampy churches (Episcopal, ELCA Lutherans, etc.) that think that the ONLY way they can keep believers from either walking out the door or dying is to embrace stuff like gay marriage.
And then they (and the secular/liberal crowd) get all upset when somebody actually stands up for Biblical principles.
Geez.

Jeffress is a good, Christian man. The sad thing here is, a young, popular and talented Christian seems to have allowed those who will shake their fist at God in Heaven, to influence his sense of right and wrong, in order to maintain the life of popular sports figure who happens to be a Christian.
Am I being too hard on him? I don´t really know. That´s because Tebow has always, up to this point, at least, acted like he was God´s messenger in these times. Yet, somehow, God´s interests In the salvation of the damned, have been silenced in this vessel, apparently due to today´s world of PC speak. For that, I think Tim let his God down. I wish it were not so, but it certainly appears that way.
Would I have been stronger at his young age? Could I have been? It´s a very, very sticky situation for Tim, that´s for sure, and only time will tell as to the ultimate result of this.

FTA: Jeffress [has]... been accused of promoting hate speech and anti-Semitism simply for believing that marriage should be between one man and one woman and that salvation through Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.
There you have it.
No religious belief can be allowed unless it agrees with today´s PC tenets.

How is it anti-Semitic to say marriage is between a man and a woman?
For the Christian beleiever, the simple truth of the Gospel IS that salvation through Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven....
The fact that many of the protestant denominations have fallen away and given in to the notion that marriage can be acceptable in the eyes of God Almighty with persons of the same sex is an abomination.
Scripture commands that we do not add or take away "one jot or tittle", and that the bread be unleavened.
As much as I admire Tim Tebow for his public profession of faith, he is free to beleieve what he wants and those of the "politically correct persuation" can beleive what they want.

If you do not live by the Bible and its teachings, then yes, you are going to hell. Dr. Jeffress, Dr hagee, Dr Lucado, etc etc are correct. Watch GETV.org

If you speak the truth, you are condemned and persecuted.
That hasn´t changed much since Jesus walked the earth.
Exactly the same message too...

It´s not a matter of belief. Hell is full of believers who are fully convinced of the existence of God. They are called demons, and were once His angels before they rebelled. What is required is not just belief, but acceptance of God´s love and forgiveness by the sacrifice of Jesus. Don´t want it? Then God has set aside a place where those who want a life without God will have it. For eternity.

#7, I believe the tradition in Judaism is that marriage should be between one women and one doctor. Or a dentist, maybe. {;-)

U.S. military sources serving in North Africa are challenging the latest White House claim that the administration is applying "all the resources" at its disposal to bring the Benghazi attackers to justice, charging instead that the Obama administration knows who is responsible but is not acting. "They have let it slip by because of politics, and now we´ve taken all the correlation we had and dropped the ball because of risk (aversion) -- and now the security in Libya is more fragile than ever," one U.S. special operator told Fox News.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has apologized for remarks Monday in which he linked Oklahoma "cyclones" to climate change while berating Republicans for their stance on the issue -- around the time a massive tornado killed dozens in that state. A Whitehouse spokesman said Tuesday the politically charged remarks were pre-written as part of the senator’s weekly Senate floor speech on climate change. “Tragically and unbeknownst to the senator at the time, a series of tornadoes were hitting Oklahoma at the same moment he gave his remarks,” the spokesman said.

During a panel discussion on the Department of Justice seizing the phone records of Fox News’ James Rosen, Bret Baier revealed that the seizure included the phone records of Rosen’s parents. The entire panel agreed the scandal was an outrage, with Kirsten Powers pointing out that there have been a number of high-profile leaks from the Obama administration, but the only ones they seem interested in going after are the ones that make them look bad. Charles Krauthammer found it amazing that the government would make such a “huge assault on the first amendment” in trying to

A liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration took money from General Motors and other businesses it did not disclose while campaigning for policies benefitting those companies, according to The Nation magazine. Members of the “Business Alliance” of the Center for American Progress (CAP) include bailed out car company GM, unsafe Bangladeshi factory utilizer Walmart, and embattled solar energy company First Solar, according to a membership list obtained by the liberal magazine.

Juan Williams, a liberal commentator and a Fox News Channel contributor, criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) for “criminalizing journalism,” when asked about Fox’s Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen being labeled as a possible co-conspirator in a government leak investigation. “I think what you’ve got here is a situation where somehow, now, journalism has been criminalized, especially in this Rosen case,” Williams said on Fox & Friends on Tuesday. “There’s just no justification for somehow making it out that a reporter, who is trying to cultivate a source, by doing so is a co-conspirator in terms

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

U.S. Sen. John McCain bucked the party line coming from many of his fellow conservatives this morning, saying suggestions that compare the trio of scandals gripping the White House to Watergate are “overreaching.” “I think it’s overreaching. We need a full and complete investigation and then we will decide the dimensions of it,” said McCain while campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez in Dorchester. “It is terrible but we have to have a full investigation before we leap to conclusions.” The maverick’s caution is a sharp contrast to the response of many Republicans
