As for the other video--definitely in terrible taste.  I can't imagine my pastor EVER making a reference like that. There were better ways to make sure his audience knew he was talking about someone from Africa.
I don't know enough about Harold Hoffman to connect his comment to racism rather than really poor taste. I hope it's the latter instead of the former, but who knows? I've heard him teach at Oklahoma family camp and I enjoyed his sessions.
People do make mistakes and insert their feet in their mouths occasionally. Well, except for the people who like to post videos of preachers like these--they've never made poor judgment calls or said something they later wished they hadn't.  |
And there it is...your patented defense of the indefensible.
In the video posted Harold Hoffman:
- Divulged private information about a strained relationship between a father and son.
- Stated that the son is "an embarrassment" presumably to his recently deceased father and, more importantly, the UPC, which he recently left..
- Stated that he didn't care that his comments were on tape.
Now, all of this was prefaced with the remark that Life Tabernacle is "gone" and that it was the largest foreign missions donor before departing.
The real issue here is anger. Anger because the money flow into FM slowed.
So the man impugned Jim Kilgore's character and insulted the relationship between he and his father, all in front of a world wide audience only 3 months after the Elder's death.
At the very least he acted in poor taste. There was no love in that message.
But you will give him a free pass because doing so is necessary to your agenda.
