In our current malaise of moral ambiguity Phil Robertson the Patriarch of A&E’s smash reality hit Duck Dynasty has chosen to speak the truth. Homosexuality among many other moral failings being pushed on the American people is wrong, period, end of story. A&E think that they have Phil Robertson in a tight spot. A&E thinks that if they turn off the financial spigot that they can somehow control Phil Robertson. A&E is strongly mistaken if they think that suspending Phil from appearing on the show is going to shut him up or somehow stifle his message of hope and Salvation in JESUS CHRIST. If history teaches us anything it's that persecution makes Christianity grow and spread even faster. The more that A&E tries to muzzle Phil Robertson the more they are going to spread the saving Gospel of JESUS CHRIST.
Here are a few of his most recent quotes...
“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there.
Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that
woman and those men,” he says. Then he paraphrases Corinthians: “Don’t
be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male
prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the
slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t
deceive yourself. It’s not right.”
Another is...
“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a
man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s
got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying?
But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”
And...
“If you simply put your faith in Jesus coming down in flesh, through a
human being, God becoming flesh living on the earth, dying on the
cross for the sins of the world, being buried, and being raised from the
dead—yours and mine and everybody else’s problems will be solved. And
the next time we see you, we will say: ‘You are now a brother. Our
brother.’ So then we look at you with love and affection."
Make no mistake Phil Robertson is not some over weight Holy roller wearing an ill fitting polyester suit passing around the collection plate. He is a man who has been there and done that, warts and all. In Phil’s darkest days back in the early 1970s, before he surrendered his life to JESUS CHRIST, he had to flee the state of
Arkansas. He was running from a felony assault he had committed. Phil brutally beat a bar owner to within a inch of his life. As if that wasn't enough he also beat the bar owners wife as well. Pretty shady stuff for a man confessing GOD. Luckily, Kay
Robertson, Phil's wife was able to persuade the bar owner to not call the cops and press charges. The caveat was that the Robertson's had to pay off the bar owner and his wife with the Robertsons’ entire life savings.
See, the trick here is that Phil Robertson understands that Duck Dynasty, the reality show on A&E is nation wide platform. Phil's end game is to save souls. For that Phil Robertson and his family are more than happy to sacrifice a little money to be able to spread the Gospel of the Saving Grace of JESUS CHRIST!
