Bob Jones III Apologizes for Inflammatory Rhetoric

[go2church]

Was an apology not necessary?

Here's the AP article from 1980 with Jones's inflammatory rhetoric:

Jones was appearing at a press conference in Washington alongside Bob Billings, executive director of the Moral Majority. They were presenting a petition to the White House.

I don't buy that it was an anomalous slip of the tongue due to Jones getting wound up that day.

I just find it interesting that "somebody" had to do the research just to find a "deragotory" quote from some 35 years ago. Seems that "somebody" was extremely desperate just to spread some bovine excrement to bolster their "being offended"!

'Course with this crowd, the desire for acceptance is so strong that common sense is an unknown quality in the persuit of acceptance.:sleep:

He expressed a desire to kill them and lumped them in with murderers and rapists. It is a pretty horrible thing to say right?

Moderator Warning:
This thread is wnadering off course. It's purpose is to discuss Dr. Jones III's remarks. It is not a place to discuss the state of US laws.

When I was in college, a series of forums were held concerning the U.S. Constitution (the bicentennial thereof coming up and all). One debate was titled Capital Punishment and the Constitution. When the discussion turned to the constitutionality of the death penalty, the moderator said, this debate is titled Capital Punishment AND the Constitution, it's not about the constitutionality of capital punishment!

He was met with a stunned silence by the panelists and the audience.

You remind me of that moderator.

You're the one who brought in U.S. laws. I'm asking about any nation's laws, and how are Jones' remarks to be discussed without discussing a society's responses to sodomy?

Three pages and you still have not answered the question that YOU posed. Are you going to grace us with your wisdom on the matter?

My 2 cents: Stay out of politics and preach the truth from the pulpit. Let the government decide what should or should not be done to homosexuals. In time, our leaders will answer to the Lord for what they do or don't do. The Bible is clear that homosexuals are sinners who need redemption just like every other sinner, but that sinners they are is exceedingly clear from Romans 1.

Our goal should be, however, not to persecute them nor demand that they be executed, but to convert them to Christ if possible. This is not Old Testament Israel under the Law of Moses, it is the age of grace and the church has no other responsibility towards gays than to win them to Jesus.

Through the years, I've helped several people who were ensnared by Satan in the lust trap of the gay lifestyle and I always treated them with courtesy and kindness even if they ended up rejecting what the Bible says.

Jonathan Cahn had no problem addressing the government, and in no uncertain terms.
