[@holylandfan3275]

@billytheoldhippy. He repented, even publicly, and pretty much lost nearly everything. Publicly shamed. God knows his heart and knows if he truly repented. God has forgotten about it, and we should, as well, and quit condemning him. We are very blessed that God isn't like human beings, or He would keep bringing up our sins we've repented for over and over. If we can't forgive others, Our Father in Heaven isn't going to forgive us of our sins. I'm not a 'follower' of Swaggart, but I have forgiven him.

[@turquoise770]

The Leftist, Braden, doesn't believe at all and instead is a secular humanist, relying on his own reason, thinking probably that if there is some kind of "god" then it is remote, uninterested, etc. and that as long as people behave relatively well it doesn't matter what they believe. Buchanan believes in God and the Bible to some extent, but like most Catholics gives primacy to their church dogmas and the traditions of men, that as the Bible says have all the form of Godliness, but none of the power therein. Both men, just like everybody who has ever been born into this world, know there is a God, and know what he expects and the difference between right and wrong - the reason I know this is because I am a person and I know this and I know everybody else does too! - God created us to know this, it is as inside of a knowledge inside us as birds knowing how to make nest. Rev. Swaggart has simply chosen to be true to this knowledge without compromise; the other two men, to varying degrees do not. Braden not at all, and Buchanan only to the extent that a manmade religio-political organization such as the Vatican is the object of his faith.

[@thomaswhartonjr.6015]

Man did Jimmy hit the nail on the head in this interview. At 8:30 he told Pat that Catholics were discouraged from reading The Bible and that is a FACT JACK! My mother was raised Catholic and her Priest told her she'd go crazy if she read it, well....she read it and accepted Jesus and LEFT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!

[@thurzaheim]

Tom Wharton That was true of the Catholic Church prior to Vatican II. The rationale was out of concern for good doctrine, as many passages in the Bible are difficult to interpret and apply. Swaggart is the perfect example of someone who should NOT single handedly be interpreting the scriptures!

[@chromospheres]

THURZA HEIM He only quotes it as it's written.

[@thurzaheim]

chromospheres To the contrary....He has inserted his own words within the text of the scriptures, and frequently changes the wording and/or emphasis by stating things like, "should have been translated" or "should read." He also capitalizes "cross," the same as capitalizing "He, Him, Lord" which is his attempt to elevate the cross to the same level as deity / holiness! Shameful!

Jimmy should not be allowed to have a church or any mouthpiece where he can influence anyone. He didn't commit the sin of adultery and sexual perversion just once, he continued to sin. When a man loves God and keeps his commandments does not continue to sin against God in the same fashion. Just as David sinned, God forgave David's transgressions, but David never held the same position as before he committed adultery. David no longer held God's favors before. Not to mention, he has physically changed the word of God in his expository Bible. Jimmy is a false prophet and should not be the head of a religious institution. He has a sexual proclivity that makes him unfit to sit in a position of religious persuasion. Bottom line

[@brucebarber4104]

@@TheCordeliachase81, he's a grifter. He got caught several times and almost lost everything until his wife reined him in. That's when he came up with his con, what he calls the message of the cross. If you look into it, at one point Swaggart said God showed him something that He didn't even show Paul. Essentially Swaggart was saying that God hid something from Christians for 2000 years until Swaggart came along. Jesus didn't hide anything when He walked the earth. He said so after His arrest. Some early Christians claimed to have a hidden knowledge, they were called gnostics, and Gnosticism is a heresy.

I believe Jimmy swaggart is not false and truly loves God and wants to spread God's word always has. He made a mistake and fell with the prostitute at one time, and I'm sure he asked for forgiveness his and God's business. But I must say he is wrong about being saved at 5:59 when he says you just have to accept Jesus in your heart and do not even have to speak a word. The Bible teaches Romans 10:9 confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart he was raised from the dead, and you will be saved. Not hating on Mr Swaggart just saying he did not represent that correctly. Glad they did not call him on it.

[@rocketcab]

@ Billy Escarzaga.... same here.... when Reverend Swaggart said that, I thought to myself "that can't be true, according to both Old and New Testament scripture".... where the utterance (both by God and by His creation) is treated more importantly than anything else.... Even Almighty God, himself (if the Book of Genesis is to be believed), actually "spoke" the creation into existence....

But did you know Jimmy Swaggart is still alive (80 yrs old) and preaching on his very own Christian TV network called Sonlife Broadcasting Network? www.sonlifetv.com/watch His son, Donnie Swaggart, as well as his grandson, Gabe Swaggart, are both evangelists/preachers, too. They all preach with same force and boldness as Jimmy did back when the crusades were going in the 80s. In fact, those crusades are still played over the network every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 3-5 pm Central time. It's almost like you can take what he was saying, drop the dates, and apply everything that was said as a warning to today's events.

[@MrRondonmon]

mp5guy101 Yes, we have he station on U-Verse. I was given a vision, running from some evil and I hid behind a bush, God spoke and told me loudly, "The Man of Sin is Here" so I know the Anti-Christ is in the world today. To reaffirm this vision as true, God gave me a vision of Jimmy Swaggert preaching in a HUGE auditorium to maybe 10 people, I was one of them. Within 2 weeks Jimmy Swaggert feel from Grace. Go was reaffirming His visions are true, and basically telling me, in this walk, anyone can fall if they take their eyes off me......Remember the disciple sunk into the water when he took his eyes off Jesus. We must walk in obedience continually to gain God's trust and gifts. I know Jimmy repented and turned from his fall, as we all fail God from time to time, but these things can ruin us, because the God of this world hates us (Satan), and his minions are unforgiving.
