Tim Tebow a spiritual warrior

[gdemoss]

While God uses all kinds of people to introduce his word to the world, it doesn't mean that he is approving of the lifestyle of the individual messengers. Tim Tebow may have a surprise coming on Judgment day when he approaches the Lord thinking that he will be given a great reward for wearing a scripture reference for millions to see on his head.

Most in today's world do not agree with my stance but in the list of the works of the flesh we find the word emulations listed KJV. The word is closely related to the words 'jealousy' and 'envy'. The act of using the body, mind and talents that God has given us to work to be better than others for the purpose of carnal glory and honor is a pride of life issue that is inherent in sports in general. Professional sports especially do not glorify God through being as his son was when he was here. If you look at Tim Tebow and see Jesus Christ, you might not know Jesus.

John 3:16 will most likely be the Antichrist's theme message when he appears on the scene. Only touting himself to be such a one with a message of tolerance to those who are tolerant and death to all who oppose. From all that I have heard about Tim Tebow, I have seen nothing to show him to use his high profile to call sinners unto repentance. He says "I love Jesus" and other claims about his personal testimony of himself. I believe that Tim Tebow loves the Jesus he proclaims but I question if he has the right Jesus or not. What I couldn't find while researching his background info was a detailed verbal profession of faith. What does John 3:16 mean to him?

There are many careers that one cannot glorify God in. Professional football is one of them.

Luke 9

49 "Master," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us." 50 "Do not stop him," Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you."

According to Obama he can, then maybe Obama's rule only applies to non Christians.

What Obama rule would that be?

Has anybody seen a legitimate birth certificate yet?

Tebow is a good guy and a mediocre quarterback by NFL standards. Certainly not a Hall of Fame player. But he's a good guy with a good heart and I believe he is sincere in what he is saying, even if some other people get a bit annoyed by it at times.

When the focus of the nation is on the person, it cannot be on the LORD. Perhaps Tim should think of a different way to give the glory to the LORD. JMO

Just what does that mean?? Tim Tebow is not responsible for the idolizing that the nation does.

We bring glory to the Lord when we excel in the abilities God gives us. Tim does that.

It means that people are making a mockery of the "Tebow Pose" and thus, in my opinion, mocking Christianity and our LORD. Although Tim is giving "all the glory to my LORD and Savior," those who imitate and make fun of him are detracting from his witness. In my previous post I said it was my opinion; I have said it again. It is my opinion that Tim should find another way of displaying his faith in CHRIST since the attention has been taken away from the LORD and replaced by attention on him.

jason, I am in agreement with you that any career of business can be used for evil purposes but there are some that just cannot be used to glorify God. A woman at a topless bar cannot glorify God even if she draw the words John 3:16 under her eyes. I don't care how much she spouts off that she loves God and owes her whole career to him. I use this example knowing that it is majorly extreme to show the point. Narrowing down that which can and cannot be done to the glory of God when we begin to go through the list of possible careers a person can have can become tricky no doubt. I understand that you do not agree with what I see in scripture. All I can do is present what I believe God has revealed unto me and it is up to God to whom he makes it real unto them. The Thessalonians received the words from Paul as they were in truth the words of God while the Bereans were of a more noble society and searched the scriptures daily to see if what Paul said was true. But we know that the increase and revelation can only come from God as flesh and blood cannot reveal truth unto your heart. The carnal mind is enmity against God. The spirit of God can and does reveal things as truth unto our spirit and if we heed what is revealed we receive more. If we do not then we lose that which we even seem to have.
