I’m not sure how Crosswalk.com got permission to reprint a transcript from CNN, but they did.
CNN talked to Pastor Paula White, TD Jakes, Jerry Falwell, and Rick Warren about “What Jesus Would Really Do” if he were here on earth.
The first half of the interview is pretty predictable, with Paula and TD talking a lot about money and the Easter Bunny, but never really answering the questions.
So, feel free to skip ahead.
However, the second half of the interview, when the questions are focused toward Jerry and Rick, it gets pretty good.
I don’t care for Jerry Falwell, but I must admit; this might have been one of his most heartfelt interviews ever. There are times in this transcript where he actually sounds like a human being… Now, I don’t agree with everything he says, but at least he didn’t make me think of him as a big scary monster.
But the real question is…
What would Jesus really do if he were here on earth today?
As if we can really answer that question. Jesus surprised people when he was here on earth 2000 years ago. And I tend to think we’d be surprised in 2007, too.
I just wonder how many of us would follow…
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile disfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory erection, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual health is an substantial part of a man’s life, no question his age etc.
You raise an interesting question…how many of us would follow? I think most ‘Christians’ today would not, because they would percieve him as being radical and possibly even liberal. I ask this same question to a congregation not to long ago, and peoples faces said it all. I am not sure if people today are even following what they claim to be following.
I did watch the CNN special, and it was quite interesting. I guess I am one of those liberal Christians, because I watch CNN instead of FOX News. I was very surprised by Falwell’s response. Who knows he might actually be coming around in his old age…?
Yeah, Jerry might. He’s not there yet, but he’s edging closer to sanity. 🙂 OR he’s hired a new publicist… who knows?
And yeah, bro… I’m not sure I would follow; I think we’re too literal today, too careful, too into our own thinking. I know I am most of the time.
Thanks for the comment.
