Phil Robertson on Offer to Baptize Trump: Left-Wingers Will Go Crazy, Evangelicals Will Swarm You

[Chosen Daughter]

Nah... There's hours of his preaching on Youtube. I have listened to quite a bit of it. Not TV fodder, which is of a nature much like Dukes - Rednecks laughing at rednecks - This is actual preaching.

What a disappointment.

So true.

The sacrament of baptism is a symbol of washing away the old.

Is that all it is?

Maybe I got what I have been taught about baptism all wrong. I thought Water baptism was an outward declaration of an inward, personal decision to make Jesus Christ the Lord & redeemer of your life. An act of obedience and a public declaration of your faith in Jesus.  And it had nothing to do with politics and making followers of an opposing political theory crazy, and a rock-star with those like you.

Perfectly right.

I had thought it more like you said above, but @AbaraXas says it is only:

That's funny.  I loved it.

I could almost hear my mother (passed away) groaning about it every time it came on....which was a LOT!   I know she would have hated it, so maybe that's why I hated it.

LOL!  I just thought that was so funny.  You hated it and I loved it.  I even used to tell people about that commercial.  I know that there must be so many senior citizens who are lost in the computer social media age. 

To our individuality!

Absolutely true.

I don't know how genuine Robertson ever was, but he's clearly off the path if this is what he thinks.

It's absolutely shameful to use something sacred to do something profane.

I'm not going to question Robertson being a genuine Christian, but it is a perfect example of Trump and his celebrity status supporters habbit of saying stupid things.

As an alternative to that "That's Not How It Works" commercial that we here either love ot hate, how about this idea far an ad:

if you are Trump supporter you have your foot in your mouth. Its What You Do.

I don't doubt Phil's salvation.......... just this statement that is theologically vapid, and not at all consistent with the Christian faith.

[roamer_1]

I don't doubt Pat's salvation.......... just this statement that is theologically vapid, and not at all consistent with the Christian faith.

Wasn't Pat.

It was Phil.

[musiclady]

Wasn't Pat.

It was Phil.

Oops!  Sorry about that.  I know the difference.  :dx1:

And I fixed my post.

(Thanks for pointing it out!)

... And I'd say... From the look of his Bible, he surely ought to know better.

He surely should.

[RedHead]

If Trump is a Presbyterian like he says then he's already been baptized.  If he wasn't baptized then he's been lying about being a Presbyterian.

[EC]

Am I the only one offended FOR Trump?

I mean, he says he's religious. Goes to church, takes the sacrament. His observance is between him and God, no one else, but it's there. And some bearded hick offers to baptise him?

I'd be pissed.

[geronl]

Baptismal means nothing since Trump isn't in any way a Christian or moral.

[debrawiest]

This is very interesting. Phil offers to baptize trump to drive left-wingers crazy.

On this board, just the headline is enough to drive the left-wingers crazy.  It sure brings out the circle-jerks.

Huge misuse of the sacrament of baptism. Robertson is an ordained minister. He should know better.
