***Jerry Falwell Jr. nugget

Yeah I know and I get it. Even get the humor. More than that he is an outspoken well known “Christian” (at least he professes to be). A lot of folks claim to be. But it’s a black eye to all of us who try to follow Christ. Most people will just revel in the fact that another “prominent” Christian has fallen and played the hypocrite. It’s a disgrace. That’s my opinion.
A black eye? Hes human. Hes bound to fail like the rest of us. And all sins are equal.
All sins will separate you from God (and deserving of hell ) if you are outside of Christ. And yes we ALL sin. But not all sins are equal. But yeah it’s a black eye. And a legitimate Christian would showtrue remorse and be repentant . He has made light of it and winks at it. Yeah it’s a disgrace. And it tarnished the reputation of all Christians in a sense.
Come on man.... he’s not just the president of a university.
He’s the son of a very controversial outspoken televangelist and president of a very religious university.
I don’t think we’d be seeing the same picture of Fr John Jenkins of Notre Dame posted in this forum just because he’s Brian Kelly’s boss. We aren’t seeing risqué picks of the Pope because he’s a huge fan of Messi.
(Personally, I don’t care about religious posts. Have em all day. They’re just as relevant as anything else. But he’s “not Hugh Freeze’s boss”, he’s about 99% more relevant than that.)
Ah, nothing like doing the Lords work with a yacht.
Wonder how many yachts Jesus will need when he returns?
Zero is what I presume.

On top of what @SDTiger9 posted above, a lot of the fuss is that he has had his hand in kicking out students for dancing, listening to rap music, drinking off campus, watching “secular” tv, etc.
Then posts this picture, but if a student posted it they would be kicked out of school.
So most of the complaints seem to be the hypocrisy on his end.
Ok I really don’t know, how did Falwell steak PTL? Not trying to be funny, honestly would like to know.
TIA
Yes, he’s human as we all are, and yes, nobody’s perfect but this is one in a long line of questionable character decisions by the president of the largest Christian university in the nation. I’m amazed it took them this long.
Here’s a good article about it from last fall:

They know, they're just gonna die on this hill tonight for some dumb reason. Probably Jack Daniels god bless him.
when it was going south for Jim and Tammy, Falwell went to them and explained that they needed to take a back seat for a little while until it blew over. He said that he could run it for a few months.
As soon as he got control, he cut them out completely and took PLT for himself
No words. So wrong and so stupid on so many levels for a man in his position to even take a photo like that, but to post it on your own instagram....lawd....Paging Hugh Freeze...
Nothing quite embodies the spirit of Christ like ubiquitous non-disclosure agreements. These people are truly disgusting human beings. They cloak themselves with a cross and commence to full scale criminal enterprise. It's astonishing how many people fall for their crap over and over again.
and his defense being that she is a sweet young pregnant girl who could not fasten her pants so he was showing his support ....wow, just wow
He is one man so I don't think he represents all Christians in making them look bad, and he doesn't have to. A lot of so called Christians can do that on their own.
Yes, that was my thought as well. Sounds more like some 'politically correct' Woke are being ultra liberally sensitive?
He's up front and honest about belly fat.
This evangelical stuff has to go. It's dangerous and it's getting more powerful. It's no secret that I am not a Christian, so plenty will claim bias on my part, but this stuff is the antithesis of everything Jesus stood for. It's the ultimate blasphemy - Bastardized, for profit religion.
Glad you feel that way about the Clinton Foundation and the Epstein's and Bill Clinton, etc etc.
And everything about Obama is forgiven!
Oh and any potential scandal with Biden.
You guys are so ridiculously hypocritical...
It's embarrassing and insulting that they actually think any emotionally intelligent adult can't see right through it.
I can't stop cracking up over black water. This man is obviously in some severe state of arrested development. He thinks like a child. He couldn't come up with, oh I don't know, coca effing cola?
I’m with you. I mean....poor choice of an insta photo for sure but all the extreme hate? I don’t get it.
I certainly don’t feel like his actions are making all Christians look bad. What this idiot does has no bearing on me.

No one who has watched the Falwells or Liberty can be surprised by this turn of events. Something like this has been completely predictable for decades. Even if you knew nothing about Thomas Road Baptist Church, 'Big Jerry' or his son, the day Liberty hired Hugh Freeze you had to know 'that 'something is wrong in the state of Denmark.'

I went to Liberty for a semester, absolutely hated it, dropped out before completing any credits (not my wisest decision ever) and came home before transferring to Clemson.
Certainly a flawed man in many ways but Jerry Sr had some positives attributes. Heard him preach many times & he was a very good speaker when he wasn’t being legalistic. And as much as it wasn’t the place for me there’s some good people there.
That being said, Jerry Jr is and always has been a moron. He’s been an embarrassment to the University and a ticking time bomb for a long time.

It sounds like the only fool here might be you!!! It certainly is a foolish comment, and certainly fools like to judge someone else and call them fools just because something doesn't align with their ideas. That certainly constitutes the definition of a fool if you ask me?. Maybe I should remember your name, and every time you say something that I don't agree with, I'll call you a fool and dumb-***??? It sure sounds like I may not be too far off point? What you should do is apologize to the three of us for saying such a foolish thing??? And believe me, I will hammer you back, and often, if need be.
