I find the Republicans even when they are flaming sinners will walk around claiming to be Christians. They do everything opposite to the teachings of Christ yet claim to be followers of Christ. They are blinding hypocrites... Jesus warned against people like that in the scriptures.
So in other words, you're not a Christian. But you're going to tell other Christians exactly what they're doing wrong that makes them not a Christian?

Sounds like a Christian to me.

Christians do not judge, I can see why you no longer claim to be one.............

The hate on against Tim Tebow is astounding. The man lives in the United States and is free to express his faith. Move on.

The OP hates Christians and Conservatives, he thinks he's getting a twofer here.

I am more outraged at the right wingers than Tebow himself. That said, his overt public displays do go against the teachings of Christ. I think he also loves the right wing admiration and is very much trying to impress them with his displays. Such behavior is un-Christian according to the scriptures of God.

I've heard the kids in New York "Leroy" in honor of their hero, Leroy from the 70's show Fame.

That's like Al Capone saying that crime is bad.

Amen but it would be nicer if you preach that to your conservative/republican friends as they are desperately in need of that reality check.

Get back to me when you can document the actions of spiritually bankrupt Democrats as being any more in keeping with scriptural teachings than those of spiritually bankrupt Republicans.

I keep hoping that one day people will wake up and realize their chosen political parties have no allegiance to the well being of their supporters other than the easily ignored promises they make during their campaigns. Your threads as well as those of the more vocal Republican and Democrat fanboys are a sad wake up call to the fallacy of my hopes.

Attempting to use religion for political gain is deceitful, wrong, and disrespectful no matter who is attempting to pervert religion to support their purposes.
