Wise words, indeed.
Chris Ashworth, probably best known for portraying Sergei Malatov on “The Wire,” is a rarity in Hollywood: He’s an outspoken conservative and committed Christian. He is also among the many expressing disappointment with A&E’s decision to suspend “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson over his religious views regarding homosexuality — and expressing his belief in honoring biblical teachings:
So if someone is offended by repeating/believing what the Bible says, he's wrong? There are many sins. Love everyone but honor God's Word.

How can the so-called "tolerant" be so intolerant? Not everyone believes the same. Get over it. Can a person not share his/her beliefs?

I love #DuckDynasty. A show without bad language and sex scenes? They honor the Bible and God too? Oh the nerve in today's society. Bad bad.

God calls plenty of things sin, yes homosexuality but also sex before marriage, lust, etc. We're to love people but obey God. We all choose.

God help us. Suddenly, in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, a Christian cannot share his Biblically backed beliefs because it hurts feelings.

If a man believes/speaks God's word & you don't believe it, fine. If you have a problem with it, your problem is not w/ the man but w/ God.

Keep it in perspective.
We're all sinners in need of grace. We all need Jesus. It doesn't matter the sin, we ALL still need forgiveness and grace.
