And people follow this man? Even George W. has had him to the White House to give advice---do you follow him?

Question

Haggard, a vocal opponent of gay marriage, resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals on Thursday after being accused by a male escort of having had a sexual relationship with him and using the drug methamphetamine, better known by its street name "meth."

Come up with some good answers, people. So far, Lilly tops them all.

He has finally admitted to the ssexual part----a homosexual relationship.

I do not condemn these relationships, but for someone who did condemn them so loudly, well----------how can anyone ever trust him again?

Answer 1

The Bible says this about all of us including Haggard , Pres Bush, You and me...: Jim
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Answer 2

It's one more situation of someone setting himself up as a leader and failing to uphold the standards he insists on for others. This kind of failure hasn't been limited to religious leaders, but it does seem particularly hypocritical in this case. This man went out of his way to work to limit the civil rights of gay people. Does he really think that people won't be upset about that now? I've heard some people justifying his behavior, and questioning the truthfulness of his accuser, but by his own admission he got a massage and bought drugs, and these are very shady actions in light of what he was preaching.

The problem for me is that some of the evangelical preachers are so judgmental. I know they are supposed to be preaching from the authority of the scriptures, but some of them approach their responsibilities too lightly and without any humility. Then when they make mistakes, they don't take enough accountability for them, although they have criticized others so harshly. No wonder some people laugh when such a preacher is caught in some hypocrisy--I guess they are thinking "what goes around, comes around" or "live by the sword, die by the sword."

Answer 3

i do no longer think of so the two. so a techniques as making the congressional approval rankings stick, like one poster has tried to make so a techniques ------ the dems have a majority of one -- the repugs filibuster, Bush veto's, for this reason the approval score of the administrative and legislative branches needless to say lay with the repugs. The dems will make that abundantly sparkling and maximum human beings will pay interest, because of the fact they have much less stressful experience then maximum partisan zealots. EDIT: McCain has ignored fifty six% of the senate votes, greater then the different member. =============== existence is so ordinary, yet we insist on making it complicated Confucius 551 - 479 BC =============== Peace Jim .

Answer 4

1) He admitted to Meth Abuse. That is a sin
and an Addiction, but not unforgivable. He
needs help, support and Prayer.

2) He still denies accusations of Homosexuality
I will give him the benefit of the doubt. The
Homosexual very well could be lying.

Answer 5

There are always some who are blind enough to follow the blind; even when it inevitably leads to a sharp briar patch. The only man anyone should follow is Jesus. He lead by example. You cannot follow someone strictly based on what they say. Even the devil can quote scripture. Follow those whose lives are examples of what Christ taught. You will realize they are very hard to find.

Answer 6

Did Bush know about the meth and the "sexual relationship" when he had him to the White House?

Did anybody who "followed" him know?

Methinks the answer to both questions is "no."

Answer 7

It's all in how you look at things.
Is someone a hypocrite when they preach about something
they never suffered themselves?
Or are the more able to preach because they didn't give into it?
Or are they a hypocrite when they preach against something
they do suffer from themsleves?
Because they know about the pain?

Answer 8

Bush invited him to the White House because he hoped that lots of votes would follow. Bush is a politician and no fool on that score, how do you think he got reelected, though to me he is an idiot on any other count.

Answer 9

Lol..more power to the hypocrites who only want to serve themselves and not the people. From a religIous point of view, most people like this guy are just 'false prophets' working for the devil.

Answer 10

Imagine how G.W. feels. On the other hand, that doesn't necessarily make any resultant policy and advice wrong, but I wasn't there to hear any of the conversations.
