Why defend the adulterer? I hate cheating and I'm glad he's leaving golf.

The fact is its his own life. Don't judge lest ye be judged.

with Pol in the fact that adulteration is something that should be abhored but at the same time everybody is human. Just give him a chance to learn from his mistakes and correct them. If he doesn't well then it goes back to the old phrase "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me."

Actually,

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

-Matthew 7:1-2

I'm not worried about being judged on my fidelity, so there it is.

I don't disagree that he should be given a chance, but to rush so quickly to defend him is silly.

In deference to Prof Underwood (and in a nod to another series of posts), I will respond using a passage he feels is under utilized on these boards...

What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."

I'm not sure a Christian has standing to judge Tiger Woods. He is a Buddhist and therefore outside the church. Paul tells us that judging those outside the church is not our business but God's.

The fact is its his own life. Don't judge lest ye be judged.

These are both true statements.  I don't know that I agree with the way they came across to me when I read them, which was 'we all get to run our own lives the way we want with no accountability - so but out.'  I appoligize if that was not how you meant it.

Tiger's life is his own and that is exactly the problem.  He has not given his life to Christ.  He has no reason not to sin, he is not pursuing to become more like Christ and Budha doesn't care because he's dead.

Most of the conversation here has been about his sin.  I don't condone his sin, and believe it is getting to much attention, mainly because he's an "Idol" and the media thrives on it.  The truth is I am just as much a sinner.  No, I haven't committed adultry physically, but what about my heart?  Read Mat 5:28

I would encourage you to join me in praying for Tiger and his family.  I can't imagine how tough it would be to be the highest paid sports figure in the world and try to stay humble; to be able to come to the point where you understand that you don't have the the most important thing in the world - while the world is telling you you have everything.

Pray for his salvation and that he would use his postion of fame to glorify Christ.

Did you know he changed his name too?  It's no longer "Tiger" Woods.....It's now "Cheetah" Woods....

*groan* Terrible joke

Ah, I thought he claimed Christianity. If he's a Buddhist then it's to be expected. So never mind my previous comment.

I couldn't help but smile when I read this.  And I agree with jc, that praying for Tiger's salvation is probably the best response to this situation.
