He Who Is Without Sin


Nasser apologized to students during the first campus-wide worship service of the academic year, and his remarks are the first public criticism of Falwell by a current Liberty official since his resignation Monday.

“It’s okay to call sin, sin,” Nasser told students. “You know why? Because it is the only way to actually start to deal with it. It is not love to simply stay in the dark, and not call shameful what God calls shameful. And if we’re not willing to stand on that truth, then what in the world are we calling ourselves Christians for in the first place?”

Nasser’s apology clearly irked Falwell, who told the newspaper he demanded an explanation afterward.

“I called Nasser and asked him exactly what sin I committed,” Falwell said. “He couldn’t and wouldn’t answer. He just hung up and now won’t answer.”

A) I don't believe Falwell, Jr. anymore than I believe anything Trump says.  However, the story of watching the pool boy and the wife in flagrante delicto is from Falwell, so I take it as read.  As for Nasser having no answer, I seriously doubt that.

B) What was that question about "sins," again?  Is Falwell's position on sin the same as Trump's? Or does he think because he's not the pastor in the family, the whole concept doesn't apply to him?  Because just from what he's publicly stated (and posted), I've got more than a few "sins" to apply to him, from the 7 deadlies to just things clearly not in line with "love your neighbor" and take care of the least of these and first of all shall be last and servant of all.

I'm honestly not much on the concept of sin, since it leads to easily to judgment ("Do not judge and you will not be judged"), but if you want to ask me what sins you've committed, and you're Jerry Falwell, Jr., I would not be left speechless.

  1. The "pastor" in the family, his daddy, made money by peddling videos that said Hillary Clinton murdered Vince Foster DURING HIS ON-AIR "SERVICES". That he can inherit such a position of "evangelical leadership" even as he has, before, noted that he didn't want to have a religious role is a good indication of what such "evangelism" really is, blatant Mammonism. I have yet to hear anyone at Falwell Inc. including LU address the bearing of false witness that so much of their brand is based in.
