Tony Blair: Candid Interview with Tony Blair: Part 1

[opsvideo2008]

If Tony Blair, a catholic since 2007, has completed the Alpha Course and still remains a catholic, this immediately tells you how authentic the Alpha Course is in leading men to God. A truthful course will always lead men to Jesus, the truth of God's word and to God Himself, and if any course is not doing that but promoting ecumenism, then it is not telling the truth of God's word nor is it from God.

[gageiiiiitttt]

stop preaching in youtube comments about who is and isn't saved ya bunch of dingbats. who the hell are you to think you know of such things? read Job 38

[zytigon]

@gageiiiiitttt If you read Job 38-42 you'll see that the author doesn't manage to think of an answer to Jobs questions to make 'God' say. The author just has God saying - well you can't have an answer to your sufferings because you aren't eternal or big like me. That is just like some despotic Ancient Near East leader roaring at the proles," how dare you question" Why not make 'God' 'reveal' that the challenge of life is to live ethically, caring,positive inspite of all the troubles,see ch1v11

[zytigon]

@gageiiiiitttt Job could've thought- well the house ch1v19 was maybe not built strong enough. Or maybe he should have trained & armed his servants to defend themselves or made a peace treaty with Sabeans & Chaldeans. Modern health & safety tries to identify risks & put systems in place to avoid accidents. Road traffic laws try to prevent accidents, why do people ignore them ? Pressure to be somewhere in a hurry, taking chances. Earthquake or tornado proof building. Insurance. Avoid the risks

[gageiiiiitttt]

@zytigon go and live your life.

[zytigon]

@gageiiiiitttt I'm enjoying life after having read Richard Dawkins books. I find it very interesting hearing all the debates on Youtube between sceptical & orthodox readings of ancient texts. I've been going to church since childhood but never heard so much sense til I read Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris & Price etc. I like the Bible much better now, much more interesting as the word of man, guesses by the primitive peoples, proto thought. But it is amazing we became more than apemen. How?

[zytigon]

@gageiiiiitttt In Job 1v16 what do you think was the ' fire of God that fell from the sky and burned up 7000 sheep'. A pyroclastic flow? Job 1v5 why would Job think animal sacrifices were necessary ? Seems like a primitive superstition. If you believed in a good, loving God, surely you'd just think that the aim of life was to be caring, find solutions, cooperate for a sustainable future, find techniques to grow & store enough food, find medicines. Past is history you can only go forward.

[Lemonpie89]

Which one is Tony Blair?

[0504dj]

@Lemonpie89 the middle one

[PliSsK]

@PublicInterestExpo It would have been good for Nicky to have challenged him about his illuminist tendencies. Not in a confrontational way but a productive way to get him to open up. Maybe there was a prior agreement to avoid the subject.

[prepare2008]

@PliSsK I agree but Nicky Gumbel would never ask that question. He is treading on dangerous ground. I think he is now working with Blairs' Interfaith foundation just like rick warren.  2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

[cambola4]

Oh what I would have given to have seen Christopher Hitchens on that stage! Hitch would've have torn apart these people's fluffy and vacuous statements about the superstitions they believe in. Unfortunately, given the herd-like (or flock?) mentality of the church + its congregation, noone's going to stand up to these two religious nuts on stage. Just put the letter "Rev" in front if your name, pretend you have a direct line to god, and spout all sorts of platitudes, and the religious will buy it

[scabycat]

@cambola4 totally agree- very well put- regards

[Truthshallsetu3]

@cambola4 Christopher Hitchens is on his way out at the moment only our Lord Jesus Christ can have mercy and save him now. If you were God would you bother to save such a hateful wicked man? There is only one God and you can only get to Him through believing with all your heart in a saviour that died for yours and my sin. It's time to see pass these 2 religious men on here, and see Christ. Religion won't save, man can't save you either, God judges your heart. God bless you.

[sharpmarkles]

Until the philosophy which hold one race

Superior and another inferior

Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned

Everywhere is war, me say war

[theneil100]

the confession of a warmongerer

[sitemountain]

'Blessed are the Peacemakers' -Who fired the first shots Tony? The Iraqis or you & Bush? Never did find those 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' you assured us were 45 minutes away from launch did you? And you sell yourself as a Christian... well you're a good salesman if nothing else!

[InternetUser1999]

@sitemountain Tony Blair acted in good faith though. He really did think that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Further more he was afraid of the danger posed by Saddam Hussein and thought that the only way to make the Middle East safer was by his removal and the installation of a democratic government in Iraq. I am not saying the war was right just that Blair was doing what he thought was right at the time.

[sitemountain]

No, that is utter nonsense.- haven't you seen the Andrew Marr interview broadcast this sunday? Marr asked Allisdair Cambell about Tony Blair's assertion that he believed the case for Saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction was proved "beyond doubt" when the facts are he was actually told NO weapons had been found. Blix said: It's one thing to act on your hunches, in a less serious context; but to go to war on a hunch, & on the basis of fairly unsubstantiated evidence, is quite another'

[InternetUser1999]

Well I still believe that Blair really believed there were WMDs in Iraq at the time. Remember that most people back then thought that Saddam was hiding such weapons from the UN inspectors. Most people back then also backed regime change in Iraq regardless of WMDs because of how evil Saddam Hussein was an his human rights abuses of his own people. Even in October 2003 long after the war had started in March 2003 in a poll 65 per cent of people in Britain still supported the war.

[scabycat]

@InternetUser1999 I think tony blair was inspired to go to war by the BIBLE. This evil book is full of wars, hatred,killing, violence. Why anyone would wish to be associated with the "good book" is totally beyond me. Had Blair been in any doubt about going to war, the Bible would have given him good enough reason perhaps a thousand times over. How the man can sleep at night is a mystery to me. Look at the fools in the church hanging on his every word! He should be tried for war crimes.

[r1chardfranc1s]

Of course he doesn't want to reflect on the past. He would realise that he should be on trial for manslaughter.
