- Phil Robertson has spoken out for the first time since his homophobic comments in a magazine interview went public and refused to go back on his controversial remarks, saying: ‘I will not give or back off from my path.’
The Duck Dynasty patriarch led a small Bible study group in his home town church in West Monroe, Louisiana on Sunday, granting MailOnline exclusive access.
And the deeply religious outdoorsman stood by his incendiary statements – which saw him call homosexuality a sin and led to his suspension from the hit reality show by network bosses at A&E.

During Sunday’s speech, he defended himself, saying he was simply quoting from the Bible and even went so far as to say Jesus could save gay people.
‘I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater,’ he added.

Daca cineva, cu o minte agera, ar lansa o simpla cautare cu Google (ca tot e la moda), ar constata ca exista sute de mii de gay care s-au intors de la calea asta pacatoasa la o viata normala. Exista zeci de mii de interviuri si marturii ale lor despre ce inseamna sa devii, sa fii initiat, sa traiesti ca gay, sa te ascunzi si sa te pretinzi a fi un om normal, arta disimularii, frustrarile, bucuriile si necazurile, bolile, problemele si altele. Multi dintre fostii gay sunt acum crestini practicanti, casatoriti dupa normalitatea lui Dumnezeu, unii cu copii mari deja.
Orice om cu putina cultura si intelepciune lumeasca (nu vorbesc strict despre crestinii pocaiti, ci mai ales despre cei cu eticheta sau inculti, pardon, atei) ar putea analiza problema in mod obiectiv, adunand date atat despre ce te determina sa devii sau sa traiesti gay cat si despre ce anume determina un gay sa renunte la acest stil de viata curvar si oribil.
Orice ancheta are la baza cercetari in ambele directii, decizia finala fiind accentuata de probele majoritare.
Din moment ce sunt atat de multi care au PUTUT renunta si au revenit la NORMALITATE, inseamna ca nu este absolut nimic ereditar sau genetic in a fi gay, asa cum marea majoritate a lor sustine. De fapt, acest lucru a fost deja demonstrat stiintific, medical si psihologic, cum ca totul este o BOALA MINTALA!
Doamne, fereste-i pe copiii nostri de asemenea influente si trairi! Amin!
Stimez si felicit pe Phil pentru indrazneala sa. Sunt convins ca stia ce repercursiuni va avea de suferit, isi stia deja consecintele afirmatiilor sale. Si tot nu a renuntat sa posteze ca asta e pozitia sa si ca nimic nu-l poate face sa se razgandeasca, nici macar sa-si retraga declaratia. Bravo lui!
Cati am avea curajul sa renuntam la joburi, pozitii si alte avantaje, mai ales la opinia publica (unde e cazul) doar pentru a sustine un principiu biblic?! Oare cat timp mai putem rabda tacerea toti ceilalti care nu indraznim?!
“Indrazniti! Caci Eu am biruit lumea!” a spus Domnul Isus. Ajuta-ne, Doamne!
