Tim Tebow

--- Quote from: John from Kentucky on January 15, 2012, 12:51:16 AM ---Well, it looks like God is firing Tebow as His quarterback. The current score is 42 to 10, and there is still the 4th quarter to go. The game is boring now.
I don't think much of Christian do-gooders like Tebow. They make sure everybody knows their good works, just ask them. Jesus said to do your good works in secret so that only the Father knows. But since when do Christians follow what Jesus says?

I agree ! Tebow seems like a decent Guy, but their twisting that Scripture that says: " Let your light shine, so all Men will see or view your good works." Winning Football games for a particular Team has nothing to do with one's spiritual good works, which only God gets the real credit for, when He does a work in You. Also, don't blow a Trumpet and don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. They receive their reward from Men, because they want to be viewed by Man. Also, Tebow grew up in fear of Eternal Hell and didn't want to end up there. Read the most recent issue of Time Magazine, there's an article about His upbringing in relation to His current faith.
Doug, I don't really know His motive, either way, He may be sincere in His desire to please God, but you might want to check out that Time Magazine Issue, it seemed objective, not taking either side as to His Public display of prayer and the spreading of His version of "Christianity."
Carry On, Samson.

I call Aaron and Tom in the final, final. Both are generals and both can get psychological and raw when it’s needed, and that makes for a ballgame. Tom just has more finesse than Aaron………hmmmmmm….maybe. Speaking of raw, Hawk and Matthews may slap the finesse right out of General Brady.
This is going to get good before it gets good.
But hey, I’m a Florida boy what can I know?....my teams are still trying to figure out why they’re playing with a ball that has two pointed ends.

I call Aaron ...er, ELI and Tom in the final, final.
The pack had to pack. Who woulda guessed.

Apparently God wanted to take down Green Bay, or maybe more aptly, or more certainly both, apparently God wanted to give the victory to another...different than I wanted LOL...He has done this before in other areas ...oh well, who am I to contest with the Almighty? I suppose if I knew the thousands of interactions just in the minds and hearts of players and their families, and then the fans, and then the world, and countries and dreams and sorrows and pains and plans of 7 billion people...
OK I give up. I accept the loss. Praise God, Green Bay Lost. His plan is this area was revealed. And every plan of God is correct.

You are a better man than me Doug.
What God did to us Saint's fans is gonna take a while for me to accept. The toying with the win and the snatching away of it in the last seconds was down right...love? I don't know for sure but it just might take the lake to get rid of the anger. It's His fault! ITS ALL HIS FAULT!
Yeah I know God doesn't have a fault and I could have used a different word maybe but I have a small vocabulary and a lazy typing finger for search work along with the anger that is clouding my thinker.
Onward Giants, all the way!

Stacey, I feel your pain. I watched your game, of course. That was some heartbreak for Saints fans. And of course, up here in the North, where the Packers almost went undefeated, and then they played like that, very hard to watch and believe it was happening. Lot of stunned people. So I admit, when I say I accept it, I do, but when I see the headlines, it hurts....
But what do Aaron Rogers, Drew Brees, and Tim Tebow all have in common? Almost demigod status by their fans. Funny they all went down.
I am NOT venturing to put any divine reasons out there, why any result happened...No, I just think God has much greater agendas in mind, as behind the scenes, than we do, and I am convinced He produced the outcomes that were the most coherent with His plans, and only He knows the plan and all the hearts and minds involved in these contests. Like everything else, in life, that He orchestrates. Its funny, all the vitriol I read in the paper from both atheists all the way to the religious; screaming about Tim Tebows fans, when they mockingly say God couldn't possibly care about a football game, or have anything to so with the result. They say what about crime, wars, starvation, blah blah (I say blah blah not to belittle those admittedly greater issues but to express that I get so sick of the self righteousness criticism of God from the unrighteousness) but the truth is God cares very much about everything that takes place, and does steer it all, including these football games, in a most hidden from our sight but very effective way. So be it. My beloved Packers went down, and frankly, in an embarrasing way. Maybe that caused some work in some hearts that was much more necessary than the temporal joy of the win, the win we both have recently felt, in two recent superbowls....
My condolences to you, yet the Saints still didn't stink the place up like the Packers... :-[ :( >:(
