He was banned because he responded to a question that was asked and he was preaching the bible and mentioned his beliefs. But he does not discriminate and loves all of humanity, but still is getting hosed. Wait until the next GLBT march, they will all be blowing duck calls and the media will be thinking it's great.
-
They had to figure some way to get the show off the air. I honestly think it started as a way to make fun of redneck hunters. Then when the show took off, well they milked it for awhile. But their true side came back out when they saw a chance to cut the ties, with out being the bad guys(in their eyes).

If this is the case and it wouldn't surprise me if it was, I hope another network picks them up and offers more or they start there own network. Hopefully A&E will crash and burn thanks to banning them that would be perfect. To many liberals and supporters of that lifestyle for that to happen though. :bash:

"Tolerance is a characteristic of a man lacking convictions." -G.K. Chesterton. Phil Robertson is NOT a man lacking conviction. He will call a sin a sin and call the sinner to repentance. That is love. Watching with feigned approval as they march into the grave isn't very loving.
-
They've been clashing with A&E since the very beginning.
A&E was bleeping them to make them sound as if they were cursing - remember that?
I respect their convictions and the fact they won't yield those convictions for promise of money.
I'm a duck dynasty supporter and fan; even though I've never seen a single episode nor own any branded trinkets :chuckle:

There's already a long thread on this.

He doesn't discriminate?
If you read all of what he said:
"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."
Seems to fit the exact definition of discrimination.
-
So, I know by now that everyone knows that I am a Pastor, my degree of choice is in Biblical Theology. I also know that not everyone believes what I believe and that is ok.
But did you know that Phil Robertson, in expressing his personal belief, was only quoting from Scripture? So people can hate Phil for his belief, but in reality, he didn't say it, it was the God of the Bible that said,
"Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (But remember that if you are going to try and interpret this verse, keep it in context.)
I do not think any less of a person that does not believe the way I do, so why should anyone think less of me for the way I believe?
Will I hate gays because they are gay? No I will not. But if you ask me what I think of there lifestyle, I will tell you what Phil told you.

Well, if you want to look at it that way, the Gospel message is about discrimination. Yet the ultimate equality measure at the same time. Having your sins covered by Christ is the ONLY way anyone gets to heaven. Aned everyone is guilty of sin. So the offer of Salvation is open to everyone. Yet only some will accept it.
So you can complain about what Phil said, but he was just stating what is in the Bible. He wasn't attacking anyone, or saying he hated anyone, or saying God only died for certain sins and not others. So your beef is with the Bible, and not even Phil...

I don't think you understand what that word means...
to make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people or things, esp. on the grounds of race, sex, or age.
He stated his opinion (based in the bible) about something being wrong.

I like the saying I just saw on Facebook. The world needs more phil and kay and less Kardashian and kayna..IMO A&E deceived the duck dynasty crew. Screw A&E :tup:

I could not have said this any better, esp whats in bold. He was quoting the bible and they are mad at HIM. Crazy
-
Comparing homosexuality to beastiality is beyond comprehension. That is pure BS. I'm glad he's off the air. You speak your mind? Fine, but the people signing your paycheck don't have to like it.

Except as an "equal opportunity employer" they have to put up with it.
Not like the guy hasn't made enough money but he could absolutely sue for wrongful termination.

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS GETTING THIS?
THE INTERVIEWER ASKED HIM WHAT SIN IS,... HE ANSWERED: (NOT EXACT QUOTE, BUT CLOSE) "WELL START WITH HOMOSEXUALITY, THEN WARP OUT FROM THERE, BEASTEALITY, TERRORISM, SLEEPING AROING WITH THIS WOMEN AND THAT WOMEN, AND THAT MAN IT'S JUST WRONG MAN"

It was rhetorical and related to the idea of context...heck I got it and I am a very literal person...everything thats been said and argued at this point has all been taken out of context without the ENTIRE conversation in whole in writing it is easy to pick and choose what one wants to focus on and how they want to interpret it.

ok,... I read the whole interview from GQ,... I've never read an article that was so poorly written.. :yike: but anyways,... I can't find what you are talking about,... either i'm blind or you're smoking some funny stuff gramps.
-
Did any of you read the actual interview? He most certainly compares being gay with bestiality. Go read the whole thing before you give me crap.
He stated a list of sins from the bible, bestiality and being gay are both sins, are they not? So yes he compares them becuase they are both sins.

Way to go Phil... He only stated biblical principles.. whatever happened to free speech..
-
Ugh. Free speech is alive and well! He isn't going to jail. He has been "suspended" for making dumb remarks in a public forum that are not in his employer's best interest or reflect what his employers believe.
"In a statement, A&E said it was extremely disappointed to see Robertson's anti-gay remarks, which it said were based on his personal beliefs and do not reflect those of A&E Networks or the show."

Not really relevant anyway, sins aren't compared or ranked in Scripture, they all earn the same wage.
-
We all know that this is an easy way for A&E to shut the show down. They were probably the ones who asked GQ to interview Phil, knowing full well what he would say. To be perfectly honest, I am shocked that a show that ends in a Christian prayer every episode was able to last on a popular television station as long as it did. I have the utmost respect for the Robertson family for preaching the gospel and not being afraid of the consequences. Way to go Phil, you make me proud.
-
The Robertson family always said that when the show is done, the beards come off, the hair gets cut, and you will never know who they are. Maybe that is this time???
-

Everything you said I agree with. With the exception of "dumb".
As for a&e. If they consider remarks being "anti-gay" when someone repeats that homosexually is a sin, well maybe they just aren't a Christian company. They get to choose what shows they would like on their channel so if they don't want Phil on there, that's their call.
-
On another interview I saw that this might be his last season on the show anyways. It may have been a planted question. Someone may have said to ask Phil what he thinks about this. He is a smart man. He didn't have to say what he did. He chose to say what he did. So, far the coverage on this has been on every media outlet. Either considered a bad choice in words by the liberal media that would love to take down a God loving souther Baptist preacher or a genius marketing move. We to go Phil, stick to your guns and beliefs as no-one seems to have them anymore or they have to hide them for fear of backlash.
-
He didn't say anything dumb. Calling a sin, a sin, isn't wrong. His view of sin is the same as mine. If you don't share that view you shouldn't be concerned about the word 'sin' anyway. If it does matter, step in line.
-
Phil is a great person and was just talking about his faith. This is the problem with America. A&Eisnstupid for suspending him off the show. It was a show that is based off of family values. Now that they have taken away part of the family it won't be the same. The rest of the family should tell A&E to take a hike.
-
?|'?
-
I've seen media reports saying Phil will be back in Jan.
I think, in a weeks time, we might see the show end.
I think they are all weighing their legal options right now.
I don't see them continuing with the show and putting this injustice behind them so easy.
Sad, because America needs more of this type of programming and personalities on TV.

I hope this becomes a bigger deal than A&E would ever imagine :yeah: I do not watch UFC as much as I used to since Fox will not let them advertise anything to do with hunting and shooting sports ....but what does that matter when they roll in millions without me :dunno: :chuckle:
-
Maybe this is touching a little close to home for Packers 10, I thought his name meant he was a football fan I guess I may be wrong :chuckle:
-
Glen Beck has offered to host them and carry there show. Unfortunately they probably had to sign there life away. Hopefully not, but you never know.
-
It's not easy for me....BUT.... I guess in bible ask any christian people not to judge another people but love them and pray for them. :yike:
:yeah:
-
Good for Phil. The Bible is clear, this world will persecute Christians for being faithful and holding strong to your convictions. Biginer, your scripture quote of Galatians 1:10 describes Phil's actions to a T.
This garbage media in our country screams tolerance, unless the views expressed are those rooted in Christian beliefs. Complete hypocrisy.

I didn't get in trouble or written up for it but I got sideways looks the other day at work when a person said "Happy Holidays" I replied, "get outta here with that political correct BS, we say Merry Christmas around here!"
-
Any time someone says happy holidays to me, I reply with "AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU"....
I even send all my emails at work with "Merry Christmas" :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello:
Even to my Boss :peep: :peep: :peep: :peep:

I wonder if people even realize what they are doing?

Since this purchase earlier this year I wonder what changes will be in our future?
Al Jazeera Media Network has announced that it has acquired US cable channel Current TV.
The Qatar-based network said on Thursday that with the acquisition it plans to create Al Jazeera America, a US-based news channel. Al Jazeera’s coverage will soon be available in more than 40 million US households, up from 4.7 million prior to the deal.
-
Whether you agree with what Robertson said or not is immaterial, its that he is being punished for expressing his opinion, a first amendment right and that's wrong.
As well, A&E has the right to fire him as a result of what he said and we have the right not to watch the garbage on their channel.

:yeah: Both sides have rights and both sides exercised their rights. I really don't think either side is wrong we just have to decide which side we side with.

40 million available, 13,000 tune in daily! Al Gores network drew 18,000 before it was sold to Al Jazeera.
Can't expect they'll be much of a force of change.
Duck Dynasty had 8.6 million viewers at its season premiere. I think the push back on A&E will be huge from the Duck Dynasty viewers.
