quade 3 #27 January 15, 2012 QuoteNext year I'm going to start a Tebow Bible Verse league to take Tebows 316 yard performance and its "Must mean John 3:16" conclusion a but further. At any point one can take a stat and use it for commentary. For example, at a point yesterday Tebow was 3/11 passing. John 3:11 says, "I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.". So it supports me, "I've told everyone all along that he sucks but those people wouldbt believe me. I've already copyrighted the idea. Perhaps a better verse would have been Genesis 3:11. Afterall, Tebow turned out to be the emperor with no clothes.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gher 0 #28 January 15, 2012 As a former Catholic, I think John 11:35 best evidences Jeebus' reaction to Tebow's incessant brown-nosing. (Because chafing HURTS!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgoose71 0 #30 January 15, 2012 Tebow doesn't expect jesus help him to win or loose. When has he ever claimed he did? God gives us all gifts. He gave Tim Tebow the ability to play football. He just thanks god for it that is it. God doesn't choose sides in wars, or picks winners and loosers. We have the free will to do what ever we want with gods gifts, whether we choose to play foot ball or pimp hoes. If I was earning millions of dollars a year to play games, I would thank god for it. Instead he gave me a huge set of balls. So I jump out of airplanes and disarm bombs.... "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

AndyBoyd 0 #35 January 15, 2012 I'm not a religious person, but I love Tim Tebow. He is pure class. During one of the Broncos regular season games, a receiver dropped a pass. The guy felt bad and was bumming out on the bench. Tebow went up to him and talked to him, full of positive energy, and told him he would catch the game-winning pass. The Broncos came back, and the guy caught the game-winner in the end zone. In an interview during the playoffs, Tebow said that winning the Super Bowl was not everything, but that the season had been an amazing journey win or lose, and that he felt very blessed to be where he was regardless of whether they won the Super Bowl. I could not care less about the guy's religious beliefs. But he seems like a fundamentally good person. I can't remember anyone else in the NFL ever saying that winning wasn't everything, that it was the journey that was important. How can you not like a guy like that regardless of whether you believe in a god? BTW, I'm sure you could find the two Tebow quotes on youtube or something, I just didn't bother to look for it.

JohnRich 4 #36 January 15, 2012 QuoteHEY FUNDIES! Why are you so silent after your little Pimp Tebow got his ass handed to him?? The Jeebus make him screw the pooch in Foxborough tonight? There are two types of people in your above message; those who believe in Jesus, and those who have an extreme hatred for all those that believe in Jesus. Of the two, I'll take the Jesus lovers any day. Hate is very unbecoming. The Bronco's loss in a football game does no more to validate your disbelief in Jesus, than a win would have done to validate theirs. Your rant has, however, certainly exhibited your irrational hate of religious folks. Too bad for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like Aaron Rodgers watches the Super Bowl on TV ....just like Brees and Tebow! (My guess is it's gonna be NE vs NY but all 4 of the remaining teams looked pretty good this weekend.)

Coreece 190 #39 January 16, 2012 Quote How can you not like a guy like that regardless of whether you believe in a god? The guy is just great for the faith, and the only thing the haters can do in a rather futile attempt to limit the positve affect of his testimony is appeal to ridicule. I find his faith very refreshing...I miss that and want it back. This roller coaster of carnality I've been on for the past 2 years is just crushing my spirit. Time to heed the warning against apostasy in Hebrews 5:11-14: About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

quade 3 #40 January 16, 2012 QuoteThe guy is just great for the faith . . . Not to put too fine a point on it though . . . the name of the game is FOOTBALL. So while some people may find his faith refreshing, the only thing most peole care about is whether or not he actually delivers the game. He's done a bit of that, but to place him on some sort of a pedestal simply because of his faith is silly. The more people attempt to raise him above his stats and hold up his faith as a shining example of anything, the more they cause other people to ridicule his behaviour. If they're going to put him on a pedestal, they need to be prepared to accept other people will want to knock him off it. It's pretty simple really.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #42 January 16, 2012 QuoteIt is simple...I never gave much notice to him until people started making fun of him. I didn't even know he was a christian. Chicken and egg, but literally nobody cares what faith a person is as long as they don't make a big deal about it. His form of prayer, that whole taking a knee and putting his fist to his head is unusual so people noticed. If he had simply stood on the sidelines, bowed his head and said a prayer, nobody would care, but he was making a show of it. If you want to say other people pray on the sidelines, you'd be right, but show me anybody that takes a knee and puts their fist to their head . . . that's the show. He's responsible for his own ridiclue, at least in part due to it.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #45 January 16, 2012 There is a bell curve of human behavior and experience called "normal."
