Muslims & Jews Defend Tim Tebow’s Dedication to His Faith

There’s something about Tim Tebow. He’s certainly a stellar football player, but the intrigue that surrounds the 24-year-old transcends his athletic abilities and taps into more deeply-rooted issues. People of all faiths are starting to take notice of Tebow’s unabashed love for God and his willingness to be open about what his devotion to the Almighty means in his life.

Plus, over the past few months, the more his critics mock his faith, the better he performs on the field. On Sunday, he led his team to its sixth straight win. His open faith teamed with continued success has led to attention both in the media and among faith leaders.

Religious Leaders Embrace Tebow & Admire Him for His Christian Faith

Fox News is reporting that religious communities in Denver, Colorado, are taking notice of Tebow — even those individuals and groups who don’t embrace the Christian faith. Take, for instance, Joe Black, the rabbi at Denver’s Temple Emmanuel. When asked if he would use Tebow, an evangelical Christian, in one of his sermons, he responded affirmatively.

“Oh, absolutely. Here’s the sermon I would deliver and probably will deliver: Tim Tebow is broadcasting the fact that he believes in God. God is actively involved in his life,” he explained. “We call ourselves people of faith. Is that how we perceive God? And if not, how do we perceive God?”

Religious Leaders Embrace Tebow & Admire Him for His Christian Faith

Another Rabbi, Rick Rheins of Temple Sinai, said that he might preach about Tebow — if the Broncos make their way to the playoffs. He went on to say that the young football player isn’t “the most accurate thrower in the world” and that “he obviously has questionable NFL quarterback skills,” but he said that Tebow doesn’t doubt himself — which can be a powerful tool and quality.

Even Khaled Hamideh, a Muslim who is the chairman of the board at the Colorado Muslim Society, is a fan. “I know I‘m a Muslim and he’s a Christian, but I admire somebody who thanks God for everything that he gave him.”

Christian churches, of course, are also preaching about the young football player’s faith. Jim Phillips, senior pastor at Mountainview Community Christian Church in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, spoke to his congregation about Tebow on Sunday. Rather than wearing a suit, the pastor was decked out in a Tebow jersey.

He focused on Tebow’s public displays of his faith. ”It‘s about the life he’s living,” he said. ”We want heroes. We want role models, and Tim has stepped up to be one.”

We’ve already seen sports columnists and political pundits defend Tebow, but it’s certainly interesting to see people of other faiths admire his Christian dedication.

    As a committed Evangelical Christian in my youth, I was blown away in a LARGE city public school watching fellow Catholic Students crossing themselves at the foul line or after “surviving” a difficult tackle. I started to ask “why” they did this, figuring it was a type of “superstition,” however, I found the strongest answer was that they were either asking God to help them do their best, or were thanking God for keeping them safe!

    This “habit” has fallen by the wayside–too many made fun of or lost during Vatican II, but it is what drew me to the Catholic Faith thirty-five years ago. After MUCH RESEARCH AND READING, I made my choice, and I too cross myself when praying grace (whether at home or in a restaurant) or whenever appropriate and am part of a strong and noncompromising Faith. God first, religion second.

    Faith needs to be lived AND PROFESSED! If we are ashamed of Jesus, he will be ashamed of us, “Many will say Lord, Lord. . . ; but I knew you not.” Luke 12:26&27

      =====================================================================
      This really happened because Liberal priests and bishops at Vatican II ruled that Homosexuals should be allowed into the priesthood. It was the Liberal sentiment of “Condemn the Sinner Not The Sin.” Now the Church is paying out $millions for this big mistake. The Boy Scouts refused to do this but the US Military has and what do you think is going to happen to the US Armed Forces?

      You’re right HILLBILLY, we need to return to giving “Thanks for ALL things.” It’s the small number of people who try to make everything Christian a mockery and try to stop us from any reference to Love of God and Love of Country and our Thanks to God. We‘ve been duped by the ’anti-bunch’ too long.

      Thanks to the wonderful Tim Tebow, I ‘ll go back to giving Thanks to Jesus for all things. I always do it in private, but I’m coming out of the closet and will never be ashamed of my God & Savior or to
      show my Love and appreciation for all things, good or bad. Tim knows what we need to re-learn, to never be ashamed of showing our Love and appreciation for our Lord……..all it takes is a quick “Thank you Lord.”
      I know the opposition will accuse us of ‘preaching’, but I‘ll never let them keep me quiet again for fear of offending someone who doesn’t believe or has a different god than mine.
      I’m not ashamed of Jesus, why have I been hiding my love? It’s time to stop letting unbelievers put us back in the closet. And yes, the day will come when we cry out, Lord, Lord, but he knew us not…
      Remember the child’s song? Hide our faith under a bushel basket, No! No! Gonna let it shine.
      In Jesus’ Name.

      Yea but the Catholics did it quietly. They wee not running around talking about their faith all the time, promoting on the field, or among other players. What I find really disgusting about these new evangelicals is their obnoxious self rightness and thinking they need to parade their faith around in public all the time and minster on to others. If you are a truly a person of faith, you do not need to let the world know.

      I love it when people knock my Catholic faith and communion with the Pope. Now there are equally number of “evangelical” Christians that are in the far left and promote the same ideals that you “think” the Church is promoting. You knock what you don’t understand, read the Vatican II papers and edicts that came from it and you will understand what the Real Church is promoting. Now hurry up and look it up in some website that is anti-catholic or something and see what you can find. Shall I suggest the catechism of the Catholic Church first and read it and see all of the Scriptures and is in it?

      Tim Tebow is a man a faith and the man of Football.

      Seems like Jesus told Peter that he would deny HIM 3 times before the **** crowed! Luke 22:34 Sounds like not recognizing Jesus or wanting to thank Him for guiding us, is the same as denial of knowing the Lord. The Holy Spirit is within each of us and I won’t deny it when I feel that special feeling from within.

      The ugly facts are that Islam is led by radical Islamists who bring the hammer down on the very idea of moderation and tolerance. The brave moderates that do speak up are few and very lonely out there. Next, by sheer birth rates, they will in time simply out number non-Muslimsthroughout the world. They are busy colonizing the world and muscling out cultures in their path. They don’t want to live with, they want to live instead of other cultures. Look around. A world war is the only thing that will curtail their numbers and sadly, it is the Muslims that have already declared war on us. When these times are reviewed in history, it will be seen as having started many years before 9/11. Iran is determined to make it happen and they will eventually succeed. Never believe for a moment that Islamization is the the goal of every practicing Muslim.

    I do admire Muslims for one thing, they are not ashamed of their religion and they don’t hide it like Christians do. Chrisitans, because of political correctness and liberalism, have been conditioned to be ashamed of their relationship with God. Muslims pray openly every day.

      Don’t be a fool, Muslims HAVE NO CHOICE, and therefore EVERY SINGLE THING THEY DO, is null and void because it is NOT done out of free will and love. In their heart they can carry the most vile hate, and we all see on a daily basis how many of them do that, not only for Jews, God’s chosen people, but for Christians, Hindus, all non-Muslims, and Muslims who are not of their side, sunni or shia. But they can still smile the fake smile and crawl around on the floor five times a day and fool people like you into thinking they are somehow pious and honorable followers of God. Allah is not God, he is Satan, and all of the public displays of prayer and other Muslim affects, including the trash bags the women wear, are all nothing but MOCKING, mocking the true God of the bible.

      Practicing muslims support him because Allah means God -an infidel is one who does not believe in God -not someone who is not muslim. christians and jewish arabs have lived together peacefully for 2000yrs -until the western colonists and european zionists interlopers unjustly meddled.Here again the facts on the ground contradict the anti semitic[against muslims this time] genocidal media propagandists.Won’t stop you though from lying about the meaning of the arabic word Allah.Genocide starts with lies from the media.

      “Practicing muslims support him because Allah means God….”

      Allah does not mean God. It never did. The worm, Rose, seeks to deceive. Any individual with a few moments to spare can quickly read all they need about the founding of Islam and the deity it praises. It is not God. It is Baal, the Moon God.

      The muslims support him because they seek to use his faith as a cloak behind which they engage in Jihad in an effort to destroy the Constitution and our Bill of Rights and replace them with Islam and Sharia. Their support for him is a deception.

      Or at least they are saying they do? How can you “revise” something that is based on lies and deception? A fraud from the begining. Maybe if more Muslims did what Walid Shoebat did when challenged by his wife to read the bible before he said it was corrupted, he did and the TRUTH in the Holy Bible the Word of the Living God shown through and exposed the lies of the koran and hadith. (The only people who can be decieved by a counterfeit are those that have never experienced the genuine) and he who had sought to convert this Christian woman he married as part of his Jihad ended up being a born again believer and a staunch defender of Israel and wrote it all in “Why I Left Jihad” great read, http://www.shoebat.com/

    It is heart-warming to read this article, and this is the way life ought to be, respect for each other and different religious beliefs. Tebow may have God given talent, but there is also a work ethic in there that surpasses most of us.

      Having the belief that all mankind is born with the light of Christ, I just flat out reject the notion that any people grow up wanting to kill to fulfill any religious obligation. In fact, probably 99 percent of Muslims don’t ever kill a single soul. Probably about the same percentage as non-Muslim people.

      I agree. Based on past behavior, they will use this as an excuse to interrupt whatever sporting event, pull our their secreted prayer rugs, flip their butts up in the air and do whatever it is they do in that most awkward of all positions in public…..

      That was a tacky comment, wasn’t it? Ooops! Back to the prayer-attitude check for me….

      “One should have respect for others religious beliefs.”

      To be fair, Islam has been given respect well beyond its station yet has earned none.
