timb, why do you think we are all Christians? The fact is, Mr Haggard placed himself in a position of trust and society has an image of how a person should act in the role that he played, in the position of trust. He blew it. While I don't think he should be punished, and I don't think people even care whether he should be punished, he should not be placed in this type of position again. Let society and the church decide . . . and they will. If he develops a following, I would seriously question the judgement of the followers. I, personnally, do not and will ever trust this guy.

I give it a year and Ted/Art will be back in the NLC building. In fact, if Ross Parsley would have been voted the pastor instead of Brady Boyd, Ted/Art would already be back there. It's too bad the "executive pastors" helped to hide his problems instead of holding him accountable years ago. I love how they say had "no prior knowledge" of Ted's/Art's issues when for years (before Mike Jones) they had to work like hell to cover his tracks. For crying out loud, Pastor Parsley brought in a former pastor of Ted's/Art's (Pastor Jeff Floyd) to work some deliverance for an "issue" years before Jones. Plus, Ted/Art made passes at several of his "Godly young men pastors", many of whom are still at NLC. The stupid factor represented by Ted and his former executive team are eclipsed only by the people that would support him. Preach about forgiveness all you want but forgiveness requires honesty which Ted, his former executive team, and the overseers have not provided.

Wow! all these "christians" amaze me! Amaze! remember the 1st stone throw? remember "Verily I say unto, do not forgive your brother 7 times, but 70 times seven"? So, he screwed up! who cares? hes a human! I am not even christian, but I may attend just to irritate the sadducees and pharisees! How do all of you know his intent? Whos to say he is not a man of God, didnt he bring thousands to the christian faith, and bring blessings to the hungry, to the needy? Didnt he have easter and xmas ceremonies that blessed this entire city? didnt he bus homeless to feed them and worship with them? Who did Jesus spend time with, and love? Thats why this city is so divided... so many unchristlike christians running around, whining crying and complaining!! God bless you and your family Ted, and I may attend just cause the establishment doesnt like you! now that is some truth. so everyone now go cry.

Tragically, if you personally know Ted like I do, it was easy to see all these events occurring 15 years ago, when Benny Hinn's brother had Ted & Gail sit in front while the whole congregation walked by and placed money at their feet. Ted has a severe need to be in the spotlight and in control, regardless of the cost and he will say/do anything, regardless of the cost to get there. Unfortunately, in todays day & age, anyone can obtain a “following” if he is attractive enough. Make no mistake, Ted is a great speaker and will draw the “world” and gullible, deceived “religious” people to himself. Yes, God’s grace is sufficient to cover anyone’s sins, but he will allow you to walk in your deception, like Ted, if you place your needs/wants above His own, like Ted does. The “world” and deceived churchgoers cannot discern this, but to those stable individuals walking in covenant with Christ, his error and deception is very obvious and easy to see, and easy to stay away from.

A collection for New Life church??? Attendees better make sure it's in check form, not cash! I think Ted should sell his house, give the proceeds to Salvation Army or some other charity that truly works to help people. Then he should move to Chicago and be a community organizer in gang territory.

So now he's trying to start another church so he can reap in $$$, guess the insurance business didn't support his lifestyle. Haggard makes me sick. A self-seving hypocrit.

Why not get rid of the entire church. If people that attend there continue after his return .. then perhaps they are right where they belong. How many times do people have to be shown that they are being manipulated and lied to before they open their eyes.

GO AWAY! I am sure people will follow him and give their money to him, so he can go get more drugs and pay men for massages. Why won't he go away.

Sounds like a great time! The grace of God is amazing, for we have all sinned yet God is bigger then any thing we could of done.
