Marty Minto Fired by WORD-FM
WorldNetDaily has done a bit of digging into the firing of Pastor Marty Minto.
According to numerous press reports, Pastor Minto was fired from his talk-show host post for simply responding to a caller who asked him if the pope went to heaven. When Minto shared from the Scriptures that only those who are born-again get into heaven, a response of outrage was expected.
…
In an Associated Press article, WORD-FM manager Chuck Gratner said, “WORD-FM needs to function in this city in support of the entire church – that means everybody – and not focus on denominational issues.”
The irony is that WORD-FM is another way of saying, BIBLE-FM or the WORD of GOD-FM. So when a pastor/talk-show host invokes the WORD of God when asked about the pope getting into heaven, how would they prefer he answer? What non-denominational answer could he have given? Perhaps Pastor Minto should have spewed forth the politically correct answer that all people go to heaven if they live a good life and are sincere in their beliefs.
Perhaps Salem Communications should change its WORD-FM to TOLERANCE-FM or POLITICALLY CORRECT-FM.
LaShawn Barber, James White, Eric Svendsen and Random Responses have some thoughts as well. Christianity Today also has the news.
