In an interview with Sharell Barrera, Dog the Bounty Hunter had no ‘effs to give’ when it came to talking about how gutless the church has been on ‘Pride Month’ issues.
He made no excuses for the cowardice of church leaders to follow Christ’s lead in calling people to repentance — noting that ‘Jesus was not a sissy’.
‘For many years, these holy rollers have done just that — rolled around,’ he said. ‘And you see where they’ve got us now. They’ve got kids changing their sexuality. They talk about tithing more than they do about what’s going on.’
‘They’re so wacko themselves that where they have brought us all is to the gates of hell. So we have to stop all that, rebuke them — two ways to rebuke, in Jesus’ name, and then physically,’ he added, prompting laughter from Barrera.
‘Jesus was not a sissy … he was not a sissy man,’ continued Dog. ‘We don’t need no more sissy men…we need men and women that are willing to stand up against evil and speak the word of God.’ — DailyMail
Not surprisingly, TMZ and others found out about the interview. They zeroed in on what he said about ‘people playing at church is what led to Bud Light’, and the spicy description of how exactly he would like to deal with ‘that punk’ if he met him in person.
His response to that criticism was pretty simple.
‘We love all people and believe in the Word of God. The truth is we’re all sinners who need to seek repentance.’
‘We encourage everyone to read the Bible for themselves. If people don’t want to hear our beliefs, they can choose not to watch,’ the statement added. — DailyMail
Jesus said it differently. ‘Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand’.
And when Jesus encountered people ‘with a past’, he didn’t just tell them their past was forgiven. He called them to abandon that sinful past and embrace a new way of living.
Paul made the same point in another, more specific way. In his way of explaining it, ‘such were some of you’ was the hinge point on which his argument turns. Jesus isn’t calling us to merely ‘be nice’, or to ‘be excellent to each other’. He calls us to an entirely transformed life.
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. — 1 Cor 6:9-11
John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.
This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.
The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.
In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.
Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
