On December 14th a real giant among pastors passed away, And I am talking about r.c. Sproul of the reformed persuasion: He brought alot of people to Jesus Christ with his ministry from first Pittsburgh then later from Orlando Florida his radio program reached millions as did his ministry his radio program called renewing your mind was heard here in where I live faithfully for years. RC was very down to earth who new that he was a sinner and in need of a savior. As far as I can see is that he never looked down on any given person and he was always open to discuss why he taught the doctrines that he did .MAY he rest in peace and rejoice with the Lord.

@Agnostic Believer: "MAY he rest in peace and rejoice with the Lord.MAY he rest in peace and rejoice with the Lord."
You mean pro-smoking, drunk-driving, anti-contraception Proul? I thought his own church fired him.
Are you back in the god fog again?
He can't decide. I mean, agnostic is literally in his name now.
At least his shitty grammar is consistent.
@Jared Alesi: "At least his shitty grammar is consistent."
You can't say "shitty" now. It's trumpy grammar.
Awwww.... I was really hoping for jong to replace shit. It's so much funnier.
@Tin-man: "I was really hoping for jong to replace shit."
Oh trump! I meant to say jong.
But I just had a thought. Jong/trump/shit comes backwards out of dogs, so perhaps we just should call it by the word "dog" spelled ass-backwards. That's the perfect name for smelly, useless, toxic trash.
Algebe, your logic is uncanny. Makes perfect sense. But, c'mon, jong really is freakin' funny. Besides, imagine the confusion on this site when trying to have a conversation with somebody about god if that was the substitute. (Hmmm..... On second thought, you might be on to something here... *scratching chin*)
I`m simply saying what he meant to me in my Christian faith and to millions of others how he educated and taught them, How his ministry Ligonier reached and inspired untold millions all around the globe. He never charged really for any of his resources, When at a point in my life didn`t have even a dime to spear I would call his ministry and they would send the material free of charge and postage paid by them. He had a hunger for God and let everyone know it!!!! His conferences in Orlando Florida drew thousands of people. I`m just sorry I never had the chance to thank him personally for all the happiness he brought to my life.
How would you feel if some scumbag said he deserved to die? You know, the way you did when you said Christopher Hitchens deserved to die of cancer.
"His conferences in Orlando Florida drew thousands of people. I"
So did Hitler's Nuremberg rallies, what's your point?
"didn`t have even a dime to spear "
Dime spearing? Is this popular in the states?
Giant my ass. Giant pain in the ass lying asshole. He was a snake oil salesman and you bought into his bullshit. I wonder what his personal wealth is. I KNOW how he obtained it. I suppose he moved to Orlando because there weren't enough poor down-trodden people in Pittsburgh to help so he went to help the millionaires in Orlando.
I never give televangelist any consideration at all. It is a crying shame what they get away with. It is really a fucking crime.

How ironic and fitting that this asshole R.C. Sproul Jr. died of cancer. You mean to tell me that this asshole who claimed to be able to pray and get results from the great sky myth couldn't safe his own life through prayer. What a fucking fraud!
he didn`t die of cancer but from complications from a stroke he had copd he had a bad case of asthma. He reached millions of people in his lifetime he will always be remembered for his sincere basic approach to evangelism. He also pastored a church in Sanford Florida where he fed his flock. he was a effective expositor of Gods word.
he was a snake oil salesman that stole from little old ladies.
Oh, his apologist wife died of cancer. Funny how prayer didn't help her.
He probably got a stroke when he found out how much money in back taxes he owes the people of the United States!
Fuck Sproul and good riddance!
You say that you served your country, I guess you mean in one of the armed services? Well so did I and you know that the service helps build character in a person You learn obedience and respect. I don`t know from which service you served in or how long but I come away with the assessment of your character as badly flawed. I would never want to serve alongside you. Your use of the English language is terrible. How you got into this bad habit is from a lot of anger. You have no respect for people. Especially for religious and political figures in authority .I see by the way you post and thread that you show many times no respect to your fellow man. Please if your going to reply to me at anytime on these threads and post do so with respect .and long live RC sproul and his memory.
If what my uncle says is to be taken seriously, any man in the army is a swearing man or a dead man. From what I know of Mykcob, he gives plenty of respect to plenty of people. Those he disrespects are those not worthy of respect. As an ardent supporter of free speech, I will stand up for his right to defame anyone he so chooses. Your knack for censorship is not appreciated, nor will it be tolerated.
Respect is not a right, it's a privilege you earn.
Yep. And nobody has the right not to be offended. You have the right to protest if you're offended or to offense in return, and you have the right to walk away. That's all.
Agnostic Believer:
Nope. I have no respect for a crooked god-botherer who took his own kids for a drive with twice the legal limit for alcohol. He could have killed them or someone else's kids. Drunk drivers are scum. Arsey Sprout was scum. And you have no right to demand respect here on his behalf.
Respect and authority are two different things.
People can be granted authority based on their position or job or seniority or stuff like that.
Respect however is earned, not granted. Being an authority figure in politics and religion doesn't give you a free pass on being an asshat to other human beings. A person like that deserves no respect.
@AB. Re: Respect
Well.... Where to start? You say you were in the armed forces? Good. So was I. Thank you for your service. Having served in the military, though, you of all people should understand how respect works. To reiterate what others here have already said, respect is EARNED, not granted. Countless times during my service I was required to respect the RANK of an individual, but that respect did not necessarily transfer to the person wearing that rank. See the difference? It is up to that individual to EARN the respect associated with his/her rank. And there were many times during my service I actually had far more respect for individuals of lower rank than I did for those of much higher rank. That's just the way things are. You can try to DEMAND respect all you want, but we are under no obligations to give it to you, even if you were a top-notch outstanding kind of guy.
As for your getting offended, that, my friend, is YOUR problem. On this site in particular, people are free to say whatever they want to say as long as they obey the site guidelines. If you are offended by the language or remarks on here, then I suggest you go find a site better suited to your tastes and sensibilities. Otherwise, there is a whole bunch of trash-talk on here, so deal with it.
And if you believe Myk's character to be flawed, perhaps you should consider taking a look at your own character before throwing out such assessments toward others. If you had bothered to notice, Myk has plenty of respect for plenty of people. Furthermore, he is RESPECTED by plenty of people. Just because he calls out people for bullshit doesn't mean his character is flawed, it simply means he is honest. Again, if that hurts your feelings, nobody is forcing you to be here. And that certainly does NOT give you any rights to come in here demanding people to respect you and "watch their language". Just a little food for thought there, ol' boy.
Wow, that is a lot of disagrees AG.
One of the freedoms that I served to protect was the right to have a FUCKING OPINION! I can dump om Trump all I want. BTW "sedition laws" were ruled unconstitutional FOR A FUCKING REASON!
I have more character and morality in my little finger than you have in your whole body!
You denigrate my service even though it was honorable, but support a draft dodger (Trump) who also denigrates Gold Star families and POWs! You are a fucking hypocrite. You are immoral and unpatriotic! You are unAmerican!
BTW no religious figure has ANY FUCKING AUTHORITY over ME or anyone else!
And I'd put my 22 years of HONORABLE USMC service up against YOURS any day!
Did you see combat? Have you been wounded? How many times have you been awarded humanitarian medals? How many meritorious awards or promotions did you receive? How many personal commendations? I bet you're just a pussy, getting all bent out of shape over a few curse words. I have never met a vet that was bothered by strong language or that didn't use it! Even CHAPLAINS!
Even for a religious apologist you are astonishingly deluded, no one respects you on here, because you're an objectionable racist and homophobic bigot. Again I have to say you know exactly what you can do with your religious beliefs Billy, and I'd recommend a lubricant, but that's up to you of course. You may also want to get your head out of there first to make some room.
If the word "televangelist" is anywhere on your resume, your death will not be mourned by me. Rule number 8 in my personal handbook.
People who have PhDs in Theology crack me up. It is the same as saying someone is an expert on the subject of talking frogs.
I wish I could agree about a 100 times to that Chimp.
A doctorate in unicorn husbandry. It's like claiming to have PhD in faith healing or astrology.
@ agnostic believer
I have served my country in the US Navy. And I agree more with mykcob4. If it is offensive to you how we feel about a sorry no good for nothing scam artist, simply stop coming to these forums.
ALL Absolutists are fucking scum. Especially a sorry asshole like RC Sproul (both). How dare he drive drunk off his ass with children and then say he has been forgiven of his sin? BULLSHIT!
IMHO I believe all drunk drivers should be put to death when verified. I feel all LEOs should have the right to test all drivers, and if they blow >= 0.01 BAC, then they should immediately put a bullet through their head. Execute them on spot. Thus rid our gene pool of such scum.
Then again, I feel all Absolutists should be executed so as to get their genes out of the gene pool.
When I say Absolutists, I mean ANY absolutism religion such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc., etc. Even the Morons, oops... I mean the Mormons.
My dad always told me, "Say nothing about the dead unless it is good."
Good. He's dead. Just a fucking shame he also reproduced.
And to be as offensive as possible, agnostic believer, if you have reproduced, then I have complete sympathy for your children and dread how they may be raised by you.
My daughters, may they rest in peace, I raised to know that it is more important "how to think" than to be told "what to think."
RC Sproul should have died 60 years ago. Shame he did not.
As I said in another post and now applying here: ALL Absolutists are as useful as a used tampon.
rmfr
Well, there you have it AG. Respect is earned. Adversely disrespect is earned as well. Trump, Sproul and all the racist egomaniac bastards have certainly EARNED my disrespect. So FUCK Trump, FUCK Sproul And fuck the bastards that prey on innocent people. If you don't like it don't come here.
yes I see clearly jesus Christ was so right when he said you can tell what a person is like but what comes out of him. just because you have a couple of people who vouch for your behavior on this site, doesn`t mean a hill of beans. Just look at them there no better in the language they use then you are.to say the kind of things that you did about a person who passed away is shameful. RC was right when he said that atheist have no morals they have nothing to measure themselves by in terms of personal conduct nothing objective to compare themselves to everything is subjective .I will pray for you and all the others who use filthy language. what`s so great about receiving respect from them since there in the same frying pan as you are. your all doomed for you no where .the world today is going and headed for the abyss. I would rather be alone then in a company like that.
If what you read here is hard to palate for you, then you don't know filthy language. My dad says worse over a stubbed toe.
Speaking ill of the dead is a victimless crime. They're fucking dead! Why the fuck would they care? I guarantee you that Abbot and Costello will rest no less peacefully if I were to say their comedy was terrible. RC Sproul is not getting offended. You are. So fuck off, you pansy ass snowflake. If you don't like what you read because it conflicts with what your savior-on-a-stick whispers in your ear, just fucking leave.
