Phil Robertson of 'Duck Dynasty' Breaks His Silence

By Noelle ·

It was only a matter of time before the Duck Dynasty patriarch himself released a statement on his anti-gay scandal. Phil Robertson was recently quoted at a bible study group saying he "will not back off."

The DailyMail was first to report that Phil went on to say he's a "lover, not a hater" and Jesus could save gay people.
During Sunday’s speech, he defended himself, saying he was simply quoting from the Bible and even went so far as to say Jesus could save gay people.

‘I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater,’ he added.

"I will not give or back off from my path because you conquered death, Father, so we are not worried about all the repercussions."
“We are a bunch of rednecks from Louisiana, but I am not uneducated, I have a degree from Louisiana Tech. But this week I have been called an ignoramus,”
He's educated, ya'll.
‘The acts of the sinful nature are obvious. Sexual immorality, is number one on the list. How many ways can we sin sexually? My goodness. You open up that can of worms and people will be mad at you over it.
‘I am just reading what was written over 2000 years ago. Those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom. All I did was quote from the scriptures, but they just didn’t know it. Whether I said it, or they read it, what’s the difference? The sins are the same, humans haven’t changed.
‘If you give them the bad news, they’ll start kicking and screaming. But you love them more than you fear them, so you tell them.

‘A lot of times they don’t even wait for you to finish and say, ‘But there’s a way out, do you want to hear the rest of the story or what?

‘Jesus will take sins away, if you’re a homosexual he’ll take it away, if you’re an adulterer, if you’re a liar, what’s the difference? If you break one sin you may as well break them all.



You can read the rest of Phil's statements at the DailyMail.

He doesn't seem very bothered by the whole thing at all. He's a millionaire. Why should he care? After the family released a statement, it's no surprise to me at all.
