    Tony Dungy skeptical about Warnock's faith after 'pro-choice pastor' tweet

    The Super Bowl-winning head coach is not one to shy away from his faith

    Former NFL coach Tony Dungy is a man who takes his Christian faith very seriously, and when it comes to Rev. Raphael Warnock, who is running for U.S. Senate in Georgia, he wasn't so sure about him.

    Warnock, a Democrat and pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, is in the middle of a runoff election against Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga.

    Warnock tweeted Tuesday he was a "pro-choice pastor," which inherently goes against the pro-life views of most Christians.

    When a Twitter user pointed out on Wednesday that "pro-choice pastors" do exist, the Super Bowl champion head coach appeared skeptical.



    "Rev Warner may be a pastor. My question would be 'Is he a Christian?' That is, does he follow the teachings of Jesus and does he believe that the Bible is the absolute word of God?" tweeted, who is a football commentaror for NBC.

    He added: "I would think it would be difficult for someone who believes that God sees us when we are in the womb (Psalm 139:13-16) to think that it is OK to choose not to bring that life to fruition."





    On Thursday, another Twitter user said being pro-choice didn't mean that a person was pro-abortion. Dungy replied, "Please read Psalm 139:13-16. Then tell me if you think God puts babies in the womb or man does? If you believe they randomly get there then I have no argument. But if you believe God puts them there, then how does anyone have a right to 'choose' which ones survive?"



    He then clarified his position in another way.

    "What if I was advocating for the right to kill someone who was already born? Would that be morally OK? Of course not. The only question in this debate is what we think of the unborn baby? Is it a life or is it not?"



    Dungy is not one to shy away from his faith. In 2006, it was noted that Dungy nearly put his football career on pause to join the prison ministry. And over the course of his career he worked in community service organizations and was a public speaker for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

    How does this 'pastor' remain in ministry unless the elders are also deceived. Real believers should flee his church

    God bless Tony Dungey for speaking loud and clear

    Or maybe the structure of the "church" isn't actually Biblically valid? One could always check the web site.

    "The son of two Pentecostal pastors, Dr Warnock . . ." (see www. ebenezeratl. org/ our-pastor/) A pair of homosexual "Dads" (or was one a "Mum"?)? That's not a good start.

    I'll give him a small amountof credit for his honesty. I know too many other pastors who claim to be against abortion, homosexuality, etc. and still vote for the very people advocating these things (and get ticked with me when I point out their hypocrisy).
