you have some scriptures around that? >> yeah, i do. >> why are you hearing what you're hearing here? they're chosen and common theme as -- hope and encouragement. this year it's matthew. on christmas eve and christmas it shifts. and it goes from matthew and it goes over to luke. and it's in luke it begins this family thing. about the time caesar order and census to be taken throughout the empire, this was the first census when -- usually from luke's gospel, we remember that. but then also it goes to john's gospel and you have to remember that john is not interested in history. he's interesting in the meaning and theology. and so in many churches on christmas eve, you will hear this, again, in the modern language. the life light was the real thing. every person brings into the light, he was in the world. the world was there through him and the world didn't even notice. he came to his own people but they didn't want him. and so you have this great light image. >> that's right. >> in john. and he's trying to convey meaning.

the scripture said without faith is impossible.lease god. >> we're grateful to you, ron swisher, and hosting on mosaic and this new year. >> you gave me that opportunity. 13 years now. >> the world will be a better place and probably you too. we'll see you next week as well. ,,,, >> if you have a show idea, we'd love to hear from you. go to kpix.com. click on the logo and scroll down to base sunday via facebook with archive shows too. there's a couple of nonprofits and most of you remember the horrific murder in 1998. the national media covered it and the trial was a hate crime. investigative journalist spent 30 years traveling to 20 states and interviewed more than 100 witnesses about the murder. here to talk about the results

when i learned that i needed to be ready with a scripture at a moments notice, he asked what scripture he i would recommend for the genocide in darfur. the lesson that i learned is to be primed to respond at a moments notice. there was a moment in 2009 when i thought i could take a unilateral break. i think it is absolutely important for all of us to start our day separate from the busyness of this world and really center ourselves. >> that was joshua on giving president obama inspiration. they were injured, a relative of paper on a fish was responsible. , aa cooling morning swim fish started biting people. or than 70 were injured including seven children. it is a native to south america and rivers. health officials said there were some people that it had literally torn bits of flesh from. feeding frenzies like this are extremely rare. many people rushed back into the water to cool off half an hour after the fish struck. >> that has put me off swimming for life and i can't believe people went back into the water. much more, as always, from the website. >> make sense of international ne

snippet of scripture for me to reflect on. the world to me. >> president obama speaking at the white house prayer breakfast earlier this year talking about how his faith keeps him going. in the toughest job in the world, that faith is the subject of a new book. the president's devotional. written by the man that "time" magazine called the president's pastor in chief. the former head of the white house faith-based and neighborhood partnerships, joshua dubois. i'm pleased to welcome josh to the show here tonight. josh, thanks for being here. >> it's my pleasure. thanks for having me on. >> thank you again. the president said the scripture e-mails you send to him every morning mean the world to him. how did this start? >> you know, i was not intending to be the spiritual adviser to the president of the united states when this got started. i was a young staffer on the 2008 presidential campaign. i had known then-senator obama for a couple years. and i looked at him and saw someone who had tremendous supports around him. he had pol

it's not to say sexual acts outside male, female marriage are prohibited in scripture.s bigoted that he gets fired. you have reality tv shows that's fine. that's not a problem. that's to be celebrated. when he says i'm a bible thumper, i hold to biblical factors. i hold to these things, how is that bigotry? >> i hear this a lot from so-called christian -- wait a minute. i hear this a lot from so-called christians. i'm a christian. i'm a catholic, and i can look at the bible and say parts of it are utterly ridiculous. there is a part that say if you as a woman are not a virgin on your wedding night, you should be stoned to death. clearly, that's not what mr. robertson is espousing. let me ask you this, sir, as a christian man, can you point to a single public utterance by jesus christ, the christ in christianity about gay people or about a gay lifestyle? can you name one single thing -- >> of course -- >> i'll name three for your piers. number one in matthew five, jesus said he didn't come to abolish the torah. in matthew 15 he says all sexual acts and matthew 19 he says

you have a differ take on that scripture.ur thoughts and what was he said really by what the bible says? >> well, i do have a different take on this. i think the holy scriptures, they're very important us to as christians, of course. and they do talk about truth and we are trying to figure out what that truth actually is and what it means. but the scriptures predominantly are there given for us for inspiration and for help. and as a minister, i just take to that approach and i tried to really inspire people. so comments made by phil and others that lump together homosexuality with promiscuity, they're offensive, especially to homosexuals. because that's not a choice. they weren't, you know, that's not their choice. they were born this way. they were created this way. it is totally unfair and very hurtful. and i think what i would like to ask phil is, you know, who made you judge? who are you to judge? we just heard about pope frances and he went on record to say who am i to judge? but who is phil to judge? >> could i answer t

that was the point he made when he quoted scripture. the reason is show is popular is they are real. they have a set of values grounded in scripture which many people subscribe to. in fact, they long for people who won't be choked back by political correctness but speak freely. we are seeing a growing move ment because over the last couple of weeks we have had christian bakers forced to participate in same sex ceremonies, photographers, the same thing. i think people are tired of bullying taking place by organizations like glad. they don't mind them putting the viewpoint out there. quit trying to silence those who hold to a natural view of marriage and traditional morality. >> boy, we are a long way from resolving this. that's one thing that's clear. thank you for being here. >> merry christmas to you. the "duck dynasty" debate doesn't end there. louisiana governor bobby jindal will join us for a "the kelly file" exclusive on the fallout from his decision to defend phil robertson. plus a dramatic decision in the case of major jason brez

all i did was quote from the scriptures.hey didn't know it. whether i said it or they read it, what is the difference. the since are the same. humans haven't changed. if you give them the bad news they will start kicking and screaming but you love them more than you fear them, so you tell them. lots more to come on this. coming up our panel will take this on. the growing backlash against phil robertson's suspension, leaving one major restaurant chain do an about-face over the weekend after huge backlash from the customers. great panel coming up moments away. gregg: but first, west virginia senator manchin, an outspoken democratic critic of the obama care role yet with a serious warning about the health care law. take a listen. >> if it is so much more expensive and coverage is not good as what it haves, you have a complete meltdown. it falls on its own weight. absolutely. gregg: that is not all. manchin, who is a democrat democrat called for delaying the penalty for all americans who don't enroll in obama care in 2014. belie

standpoint or to get the true definition of it we really have to go to the scriptures i know that most would interpret tithing today as ten percent of one's gross income but that simply isn't something that's found or spoken to in the scriptures and it isn't because they didn't have income or money in that day but in leviticus chapter number twenty seven it specifically defines tidy as a consumable goods something that can be consumed something you can eat soon to say you know whatever was grown or something that you could consume so as that comes out why in jesus' time the there weren't just money changers at the temple there were literally people selling chickens and things so that people would buy them and take them in and give them as an offer into the priests. well during that day course the next specifically during that time there was a particular thesis that the jews were going to celebrate and of course they used a lot of those animals as sacrifices in light of the coming celebration that was going to take place but what had happened was those leaders you know began to pervert

it's amazing to me that you can cite scripture and people are up in arms over it.ope christians get the message that they outnumber the squeaky wheels who aren't for equality. they want to supress speech that doesn't include complete and total acceptance and submission. i hope christians realize you can win when you stick on principle. >> you can make up quotes like richard did. >> i'm a christian and i find -- >> do not bear false witness, richard. >> wait a minute. if you listen to the tax collectors, prostitutes, jesus is a jesus of love, not of anger. the language phil used was hateful, angry language. that can't be tolerated. >> what language? >> remember, phil robertson we don't judge them, we never judge them. we leave it up to god. is that hateful? >> he talks about what is the difference of a man with a vagina and a man who doesn't like a vagina? >> the term vagina is hateful? that's offensive to me as a woman. >> don't do that, dana. don't -- wait a minute now. i'm talking about the paragraph in which he talks about men who don't happen to like vaginas. t

it's what scripture does. you want to change the scripture. you have never read the bible.read the bible, then. >> desmond tutu didn't, either. >> let's move on to this other question. earlier in this newscast, we talked about a top pr executive fired for an insensitive tweet about aids in africa. in hours, she lost her job. is this a form of zero tolerance in society? what happened to forgiveness in this day and age? ben? >> she worked in a pr firm. yeah, i would want someone to fire someone that said that. obviously, if you can't pc yourself in your own tweets when you work in pr, why would i want to hire you to help with my business plan. so, i think this is one of those where, you know what? in the professional world, you do something like this, you tweet something like this and get fired, you should expect it when it's this ridiculous, especially talking about aids. i think it was just a rude, crass, awful tweet to send out. you know what? deserve what you get. >> michael, your thoughts. >> interesting you say that. phil robertson deserves what he got. >> thank you so

his understanding of scripture. and the very famous speech that john f. kennedy made in 1960 when he was a senator in texas, my hometown of houston. his understanding of scripture. and the very famous speech that john f. kennedy made in 1960 when he was a senator in texas, my hometown of houston. my pastor at the time was there. i was 13 years old and was eager to hear his report after listening to senator kennedy. senator kennedy said he would be guided by his conscience in making decisions, not by any external authority. and he would be guided by his conscience. but if his conscience came into conflict with his duties as president, he would resign the office. we have to assume that john f. kennedy's conscience would be guided by his catholic faith. when it comes to obamacare, my bible teaches me that life begins at conception. i do not think i should be forced to pay for other people's abortions. for people of religious faith, many believe the bible is a guidepost when it comes to the sanctity of human life. it is a totally appropriate ad. the people of

. >> scripture is not something to be eaten quickly. it's not fast food.s a luxurious banquet and you should take your time with it. >> priest is a translator of the bible. >> it's not supposed to be a videotape that we can play like on the his industry channel and watch. what it is is it is an account through a specific lenz with a specific purpose to invite us into the life of god. and to the life in christ and to the life of the church. >> god sent forth his son born of a many woman of achievement what was the reason for that? we could not find salvation on our own. we could not be freed from our sins on our own. and so god enters into our world. >> for people who have not visited bethlehem entered the church of the nativity or descended into the gatt grotto, it may be surprising to learn that jesus was born here in a cave, not in a stable. >> so as we are standing in a natural cave, that is made in the soft limestone here, we see first the got toe grotto of the birth. the nativity. the star marks the where mary gave birth to jesus. as we step over to t

messiah, who had been sent from the jewish god to the jewish people in fulfillment of the jewish scriptures so they're not, at least, originally interested in starting a new religion. they're interested in preparing the world for its final consummation. >> but that kingdom doesn't come. and the claims the followers of jesus start to make about him begin to sound like blasphemy. >> so the problem is not in the belief that jesus is the messiah. the problem is when the belief is moving from messiah to a kind of deified messiah. and as this begins to be understood by the jews, then opposition to this movement is no longer a political thing. it's a very strong religious thing. >> in fact, it will come to bitterly divide the family and lead to centuries of persecution. but now in the years after the death of jesus, his followers needed to keep his message alive. and they get two messengers, who could not be more different. peter, the simple fisherman from galilee, who was jesus' chief apostle. and paul, the sophisticated pharisee. together they will create a religion that would change the world.

they even made our ron hubbard's novels scriptures those are also tax the m. it was such a thoroughgoing that very. it's hard to even imagine. bear in mind, the irs is not the best equipped agency. but they are the only agency that has that authority. once the irs made that finding, the vast protections of the first amendment guarantees a religion that surrounded the church of scientology p. and protects the for many of the legal recourse is that they would ordinarily turn to you. >> one more question and then we will see what questions you all have. i'm going to ask a question that's on the minds of some people here. this book is not a flattering portrayal of scientology or l. ron hubbard. he is revered within the church. so, after the publication of this book, how is it bad for you? >> well, you know, you've been through the same thing. a lot of legal threat. but you know, no actual follow-up on that. they did publish one of their freedom magazine. "the new yorker" came on some anniversary issue. every year around valentine's day, new yorker has its original

they apparently read scripture.ey celebrate what came to be known as the eucharist. >> this is my body which will be given up for you. >> eucharist, from a greek word meaning thanksgiving, was the early christian celebration, a re-creation of the last supper. >> the one ritual that jesus established for his communities was to share bread and wine in remembrance of him. >> do this in memory of me. >> and throughout all the christian communities, whether they were jewish christians or gentile christians, that partaking of the bread and the wine in his memory became the central focus of his worship. >> but that eucharist would have looked much different than the ritual we see today, as paul reveals in corinthians. >> but the lord's supper, as he describes it, is not a funny different sort of practice with tiny wee little wafers or bits of bread and a thimbleful and a sip of wine or something. it is something which is integrated into a normal meal. he talks about some people going away hungry and other people having too

people that are lay people that really don't do a lot of research in terms of how to understand the scripture's and how to interpret them, making statements that are so harmful and hurtful and to the lgbt community, and it's just outrageous. >> it's interesting, though, there are plenty of passages that one can point to in the bible, which support those who say look, you know, the bible does not approve of homosexuality. in fact, it's described as being an abomination in one text. there are plenty of passages, which also say that a child who curses their parents should be put to death or prohibit eating shell fish and adulters should be put to death. why do you think those passages are glossed over and it's often the homosexuality or same sex, on homosexuality that are focused on? >> in my book, this is an agenda people have because they certainly don't believe any longer that the earth is flat, which is also biblical in the old testament but they pick and choose what they feel is still relevant out of those passages and it really shows their agenda. let me just add to that that in my studies,

what phil said was a matter of his opinion based on scripture. which is not really all that off the wall of an opinion. >> mike, before we go and we don't have a lot of time. it strikes me a couple of months ago or a year ago, you were involved in this, the chick-fil-a dust-up. tell us how this is different -- or how it is being treated different, phil robertson versus chick-fil-a. >> there is a similarity and it is this. christian people don't like to be against something but they are willing to be for something. with chick-fil-a and robertson, they are not boycotting as they are standing with someone that they think has taken a stand that reflects their own views and their own values. and that is what is similar and i thinks that why you have seen this huge reaction and i bet a&e and cracker barrel wish they had not wandered off into this. >>> taking your cash, why and where it is happening. >> and say it isn't snow -- is using santa to push a product like this or not? ♪ here comes santa claus stick with power. stick with technology. get the ne

that also the right of empty robertson to give his personal religious views as supported by the scripturesfor too long, the silent majority has wered silent when we ought to be speaking up in support of these constitutional issues. and that -- i just think we need to publicly get to moving and get the people fired up. >> now, your resolution calls robertson a hero, but let me play devil's advocate a little bit here. even his family said that his remarks were coarse. >> i agree. >> you would agree with that. do you think in that case that. >> i don't greet with the way in which he said some of the things. i don't agree with putting the bestiality in the conversation because that's completely foreign to the issue that he started out on. and also, i don't believe in what he had to say about the african-americans. that he grew up having no complaints about their life. we understand they didn't complain because they were afraid to. and we've got that behind us, i believe. i didn'tdon believe in either of those issues but the other issue he spoke upon, that's still a relevant issue and still --

>> i don't think people watch that show to hear his views on scripture.hey are unique authentic american characters but when you bring in believes that can hurt others, that's not why we're tuning into "duck dynasty." we have to be clear what is happening in reality television and his home and church. what comes out in a public form in media, now he has to negotiate how that makes other people feel. i think we need to be clear what that show is about. it's not about his christian views, and that's not why we watch. they are very entertaining. i really agree with him, this is a teachable moment on both sides. can we not draw such hard lines and listen to each other and understand there are all kinds of people with all kinds of views coming from all different kinds of backgrounds that have to work together. this family hasn't really had to be in a cosmo poll tin multi thinking world and now they are. >> thank you. >> thank you. >>> there is more happening tonight, next, what some see as president obama's terrible, horrible, no bad very bad year, he doesn't

all i did was quote from the scriptures, but they just didn't know it. will payne was with robertson when he said that at the bible study and joins us tonight. you had this upclose look and you said that he doesn't seem fazed at the least? >> not in any way, shape, or form. he is perfectly comfortable with what he said and he has steadfast religious believes that aren't going to be affected by anyone, you, me, any network says is going the make any difference to what he believes. and he doesn't see it as anything hugely controversial. >> he doesn't think it is at all controversial? >> he is aware of what is going on around him and seeing the media reaction. but from his perspective he is saying what he believes. he is spreading the word of someone -- you know, a higher power. and you know, the fundamental issue is that from my limited experience down there, it seems the vast majority of the local population concurred with him. >> give us more insight. you say the people in church refer to to this as a blessing. how so? >> well, is it a hugely religious c
