13 Things Phil Robertson Said This Weekend in His First Public Statement Since the Controversy

Like him it or not, Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson is a Christian, and many people feel the same way Robertson does. Many disagree with what he said, but that’s okay! The big issue here is whether or not you should have the ability to speak your mind and express your personal beliefs without fear of being punished for it.
Robertson finally responded to the controversy this weekend in a Bible study at home in Louisiana that was open to the press. Here are the 13 top quotes…

1. 
   
   I have been immoral, drunk, high. I ran with the wicked people for 28 years and I have run with the Jesus people since and the contrast is astounding.
   
2. 
   
   Sexual sins are numerous and many, I have a few myself. So what is your safest course of action? If you’re a man, find yourself a woman, marry them and keep your sex right there.
   
3. 
   
   Commonsense says we are not going to procreate the human race unless we have a man and a woman. From the beginning Jesus said, “It is a man and a woman.” Adam was made and Eve was made for this reason.
   
4. 
   
   If you give them the bad news, they’ll start kicking and screaming. But you love them more than you fear them, so you tell them.
   
5. 
   
   Jesus will take sins away, if you’re a homosexual he’ll take it away, if you’re an adulterer, if you’re a liar, what’s the difference? If you break one sin you may as well break them all.
   
6. 
   
   ‘If we lose our morality, we will lose our country. It will happen. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all walk around without stealing from each other and killing each other?
   
7. 
   
   Why don’t we just love each other enough that we wouldn’t want to do these things to each other?
   
8. 
   
   We are a bunch of rednecks from Louisiana, but I am not uneducated, I have a degree from Louisiana Tech.
   
9. 
   
   Are you kidding? I have been traveling to and fro spreading this message.
   
10. 
    
    I have made hundreds and hundreds of speeches and you can pick them apart and the center has always been Jesus Christ.
    
11. 
    
    Do many people get up and walk out? Yeah, all the time, do I hold it against them? No. Anybody can get up and stop listening. We are all just humans on this planet.
    
12. 
    
    Jesus Christ was the most perfect being to ever walk this planet and he was persecuted and nailed to the cross, so please don’t be surprised when we get a little static.
    
13. 
    
    I will not give or back off from my path.

Ya know I so wish that I could like your last post of Phil's speech but "I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST RAN OUT OF LIKES" how is this possible? :biggrinangelA:

I believe in everything he just said. We all deserve and should have the right to be able to speak what we believe in. If you don't like it then you can just walk away and believe and say whatever you want to also. We should not hate the person only the sin. We all sin and come short of the glory of God.

A&E knew this guy and his family were Christian believers when they hired them. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it will do all duck things. What did they expect............a hippopotamus?

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...
During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3...,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.

We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.

It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web site.

 

[sissy]

not sure if it is true but saw on the net that Obama paid a Canadian company to set up the web sight and paid over a million dollars ,I sometimes wonder if it is true .By the way where does that tax money go to that they get from the lottery ,they say to education and stuff .They must stuff it in there pockets .I usually do not comment about government but after reading that tidbit it did make me wonder . :bye2: bye bye money .They stole from social security to help education ,but has it helped .NO

 

[koiguy1969]

sissy...they ORIGINALLY PAID $650 MILLION. its over $800 mil now, with the repairs. the people of AMAZON said they could have had it done right for about $10 mill. and yes it was CMA a Canadian company whos been sued multiple times for turning out a poor product. they have been fired from other government jobs. turns out, a high ranking company official is freinds with Michelle Obama. amazon sees 1.1 million visits an hour!

 

[j.w]

Is this not the cutest thing you have seen all day..............well of course not including your own little pet family

This Husky/Malamute mix is only 20 days old. But she already howls like a champ thanks to his excellent vocal coach!

 

[MitchM]

Frikkin' politicians, they all turn out to be the same.

Having said that, I could never get into politics. Politics is a blood sport.
Facts don't matter. Perception matters in the minds of voters that barely pay attention to the details. I've seen many good, sound business people enter politics then leave in a fabricated, well timed "scandal".
Very sad. The public at large are the ones that lose in the long run.
I have never seen a successful "poor" politician. The successful politicians know how to benefit personally from the system.
By not informing ourselves about the issues, we really do get the government we deserve.


Back to ponding!
