“I am a Newt Gingrich fan partially because he models resurrection to me. He has been married three times, he has gone through his own infidelity, his own growth process, and his own repentance and renewal of faith so I trust him because of that,” Haggard said. “It is the heartbreak in life that makes us the people we want to be.”

“They believe in reincarnation where we don't believe in that at all. . . it modeled mutual respect because when she said that whole living 32 lives together with Gary I just laughed and said, ‘You don't look nearly that old’ instead of having an intense theological debate."

“I have started my own YouTube channel where I can have my voice. I had to be silent for two years after the scandal out of submission to the church, so there were all kinds of misinformation and misunderstanding out there for two years,” he added. “Now it has been five years and I am starting to address things myself so people can meet me and my ideas, rather than take what people said I believe.”

The same Ted Haggard who came out earlier this year as a bisexual; last I recall, scripture speaks strongly against homosexuality.

Haggard needs to go away.

he is poster child for what is wrong with the seeker driven/charismatic movements



i.e. no accountability and no personal responsibility/lots of ego

hmm how can a protestant say this about a catholic? Maybe he should convert to catholicism too and just pray hail marys to be forgiven

i caught celebrity wife swap last night and I was embarassed as a christian


haggard (a disgraced and unrepentant preacher) still posing as a evangelical leader (what we call evangelicals nowadays is insulting, but that is whole nother story for another time)



and busey (a guy who was influenced by TBN folks and is into reincarnation


btw: Gary Busey (you were as much Constantine's parents as I am at being a Academy Award Winner actor and lottery winner.)



me thinks the fight Gary got into with Chuck Norris's walker character on the Walker Texas Ranger Special Witness episode really affected Gary's grasp on reality.
