Britt Hume made headlines a few weeks ago when he suggested that Tiger Woods should turn to the Christian faith in the wake of his recently discovered moral failures and broken marriage. I am including the link to an interview that Hume conducted with Christianity Today shortly afterwards.
"The Tiger Woods that emerges, once the news value dies out of this scandal, the extent to which he can recover, seems to me, depends on his faith. He's said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world."
We talked about this in my Old Testemant class during our study of the fall of mankind and the repurcussions of sin in the book of Genesis. We talked about how Tiger Woods must feel torn-up inside now. He may never feel forgiven even if he honestly tries to turn a new leaf. His Buddhist faith certainly doesn't offer that kind of forgiveness. Jesus alone offers him complete forgiveness.
