MUDRUNNER Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I don't understand what all of the backlash is about. He was asked a question, and gave an honest answer. Is he supposed to lie & make something up just to appease the station? A&E has totally mishandled the situation. I wish the Robertson's would take the show to a station that respects their values.

Hunt or be Hunted Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 There are 2 things that could happen here. 1. Duck dynasty will drop the show all together because you know Will and all of them won't do the show without Phil. Or 2. A&E and back down and say they are sorry and go on with the show. Sad to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Not a duck dynasty fan. We watched several episodes if not an entire season. Appreciate what Phil Robertson stands for and respect him, but the show and commercialization of these people went way too far. With regards to his opinion on homosexuality i agree, but not my place to peach down or cast judgment on those people, i have enough faults of my own to worry about.

bowhunter97 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I agree with his opinion was asked for and he gave his opinion. Secondly A&E would be stupid to let Duck Dynasty go with as much views as it gets. But thats not my choice. I get some kicks out of the show so i think its pretty good.

PotashRLS Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 It was inevitable really. The whole thing reeks of the double standards we face today. We must accept the barrage dished to us by the alternative life style folks, but they don't have to accept our line in the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthGaHuntingandOutdoors Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'm far from being religious, however I support Phil 100%. I support his freedom of speech, and also his freedom to express his religious beliefs. We're all sinners one way or another, and before it comes up, he wasn't judging, he was pointing out sins and his personal views on homosexuality, the latter I fully agree with him on. I have read the Bible, some of the Koran ( it became very clear to me that it's a religion of complete intolerance), I've even read the teachings of Buddha. The latter of which is probably the most tolerant of all deities. I'm really not seeing why the LGBT community is being so intolerant of him and his religion, this is just going to push the divide even further between straight and gay. I'm tired, so so tired of hearing of gay "rights". They are rights when you get them added to the Bill of Rights, then I will defend your rights like everyone else's. Ok end rant.

RangerClay Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) A statement was released by the Robertson Family and they have said point blank that the show will not proceed without Phil. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. IN THE MEANTIME, hit A&E where is hurts the most. Do not buy and/or return gifts that say Duck Dynasty. A&E receives all proceeds from those sales. Buy only products that say, Duck Commander. Edited December 20, 2013 by RangerClay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hate the sin, love the sinner...Bible has not changed since God wrote it. god did not write the bible. man wrote the bible. most versions of the bible were written 1500 years after christ was here. god did write the 10 commandments, and gave them directly to moses. there is my life guide. while i read and love the bible, i stick with what god wrote. as for the robertsons, they will stick together. as of today, they say they are with phil and will not work without him. then, the magic words. "we're still in negotiations". that means more money. i love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I've been keeping up on it all. I think that he has a right to freedom of speech and religion. to subjectively fire him because some group got upset is wrong. all he said really was if you're homosexual you're not going to heaven. saying someone who's gay is the same the other examples he gave is taking it out of context. the implication is that all the examples are the same ONLY in the sense that they aren't going to heaven. I believe any man taking a whole hearted effort to follow Gods word is a respectful thing. robertsons aren't just walking away because they've got a good thing going. I don't blame them. I do think they'd choose phil over a&e though despite the money and fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly had say in what was written..God wrote it. I'll stand by that all day long. i still have to disagree. there are over 1500 "versions" of the bible. 1500 times it was re-written. i believe god is infallible. if god did, indeed, have a hand in writing the bible why did it need all those revisions? i believe men wrote the bible with their interpretation(s) of what god wanted them to say and how god wanted them to live their lives. wars have been fought over the bible and it's version.

Missilelock Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think different versions are needed because of the way speech ahs evolved.....a book written in strict kings English is of limited value now. My thinking is that when new revisions are written, they aren't just revisions of the last revision, but rather revisions in modern language of the original manuscripts. I also believe the scriptures are words given to us from the mind of God. However, I will say. even if I wasn't a Bible believer, it sure seems like the words of the Bible represent a good way of living.....with no exceptions. sorry for the tread hijacking.

Ravin R10 man Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I am speaking of the first manuscripts, NOT the resulting translations....those my friend can be off from the original text a little or just one word change could flip the intent entirely off. Thats why one needs a good study Bible, and concordance. John McArthar has one of the best. http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/cms_content?page=1149030&sp=59339 If man wrote the Bible with no Holy influence, it has no meaning, and holds no water. Christianity would have to be among all other man made religions....CULTS Phil may have not conveyed Christian beliefs in the exact correct words, but they were his words as best he could define. Not sure Id do any better, I cant find fault in a man for what he believes or how he explains it. That's up to God on judgemet day. The man spoke the truth as he understands it.

birdhunter39 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 why don't phil robertson just drop duck dynasty and stick with the duck commander , which is where duck dynasty was born from in the first place . and also because i liked duck commander better in the first place .

fly Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 We all make decisions in this life. Some choose to believe certain Bible translations, some choose not to believe in the Bible at all. Here in America we have freedom of religion and speech, but that doesn't mean we don't experience consequences for standing up for what we believe in. Phil believes in the Bible (not sure what version) and that homosexuality is a sin. A&E people (the ones that must believe differently than Phil) were offended and want him gone. I'm sure other stations would gladly pick up the show supporting Phil's rights to speech and religion. I'm sure the Robertson's will not sell Phil out, but I wouldn't be surprised if A&E sold out and came up with some bizarre fix to keep the show (with Phil) on the air and with it the money.

You got it. They said they are bringing Phil back to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
