It is sad to me that the man who is called Bishop Carlton Pearson in this debate has fallen from the truth, but yet also sad that his Christian upbringing was such that He saw God in a way contrary to how God has revealed Himself. It is also interesting to hear what the philosopher Deepak Chopra said in trying to take away the glory from God in regards to Annie Lobert's testimony and instead give her the credit for getting out of prostitution. I believe that as we grow as students of Jesus, we will become more passionate about God's glory and will be just as disgusted with pride and trying to take the praise from God as we are with the more obviously awful sins. At least that's how I feel when I hear people trying to take glory from Him. But we also have to be careful not to try and prop God or up or think that we have to defend Him. We're the ones that need help, not Him :)
Major props to Mark Driscoll too for how he represented, I really appreciate him more and more these days. He and Annie Lobert were good representatives of Christ, I don't think they were arrogant or insensitive or closed-minded towards the other two panelists. I pray that God does something with this program in the hearts of those who saw it. The false views heard on this show remind us that the world is still very blinded and needs to hear the true story and be set free from the father of lies. Thank God for sending Jesus to conquer evil and death and give us life everlasting now and in the world to come.
