duderonomy Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Well, if God sometimes answers "no", then what's the issue? Prayer answered. What's your point? Did Tebow pray for a long NFL career, or did he kneel at the end of a play only to thank God? I don't follow the NFL that much, except for the Detroit Lions, which we all know that God hates outright, so I don't know. Maybe Tebow prayed that he wanted to serve the Lord Jesus in whatever capacity that God deemed best, and the NFL or even football just wasn't it?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that as some point Tebow probably asked God for success in the game he was playing at the time. It's the kind of thing I would do as a Christian.

centauri Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 God might be upset that someone who claims he worships God is violating the sabbath by working on it. Tebow is a professional player and gets paid for his work. Christians prefer Sunday to be the sabbath and are therefore bound to its regulations, that is if they really believe the Bible. NFL football is played on Sundays. Working on the sabbath is a death penalty offense, but those rules get ignored as expediency dictates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another example where the Old Testament calls for Christians to be executed. The SDA type denominations are an exception but most Christians do not remember or honor the actual sabbath. They certainly don't make Friday from sundown till Saturday on sundown "holy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitchWithMe Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hey not too hard on Timmy!

BrotherJosh Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Watching Tebow throw a football is painful. In a recent preseason appearance he went 1-7 negative -1 yard and an interception. Time to get behind the pulpit, Tim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymistake Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Oh it looks like God is sending out that call to ministry: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--tim-tebow-cut-by-patriots-as-qb-failed-to-take-advantage-of-great-opportunity--145708777.html I'm thinking God wants Tebow to be a wandering evangelist. That way he can simply memorize three or four sermons and never have to repeat himself to the same flock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherJosh Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I wish I could see some video of Belichick and Tebow one on one. I have a feeling Palpatine wasn't impressed with Tebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's so quiet when you pray to him that you need to guess which one he said. If he would turn on his Prayer Answering Machine, at least then people would have a good reason to think he's listening, even if he is just screening everyone's prayers and ignoring them. "Hello, you have reached God. If this prayer is important, I'll get back to you, but if it's not important enough for me to take time out of my busy schedule to help you with it, then fuck you." *BEEP* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstream Christianity prefers Sunday to be the Lord's day. Both Saturday and Sunday are used by the NFL, Saturdays being for some playoff games.
