I only watched about 5 minutes of this before I wanted to barf. Phil Robertson says: "Seeing something is a lot more powerful than reading something." However, the Lord said just the opposite: "Jesus said to him, 'Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.' ” John 20:29 He also compliments Dallas Jenkins for "bringing the scriptures to life." But Jenkins doesn't bring the scriptures to life; he brings ideas about the scriptures from his own mind to life.
These guys are Christian celebrities, not ministers of the gospel. They're there for their own mutual benefit, not Christ's. What's it going to take to wake people up?
If you have a problem with Robertsons words , take that up with him not me. I’d love to see you on their podcast Their testimonies and ministries have done many great things for the kingdom thus far. You may as well take it up with David, Solomon and even Jesus though. Did Jesus condemn Thomas? Not that we can tell. A simple encouragement was sufficient to restore Thomas’ critical attitude of faith.
John 20:29 does not contradict The the fact the the Bible consistently talks about things of God and even God himself being tasted and seen
“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”
Psalms 34:8 NIV
“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.”
Psalms 63:1 NIV
