Now, I don't think Robin was wrong for showing Elyse that verse. I mean, how often is it that you meet an atheist face-to-face? That is an automatic opportunity to witness! The verse was plain as day...A man who says there is no God is a fool. You can't get much more correct than that. That was witnessing at it's best! That was one of those moments where you don't even have to talk....the Word says it all for you. I mean...let's be real. Elyse saw they were reading the Bible. When Robin called her over there, she knew what she was in for. Yet, she still went, and was introduced to one of the most profound verses in the Bible.
And Elyse crying during the prayer? Baby...no matter what she said it was, that was the HOLY SPIRIT!!! Elyse just may get saved before this competition is over.
I just saw the show for the 1st time last night. I'm mad that I missed most of the shows....

I thought about your response and was not going to voice my opinion that is very contrary to yours, but I must because I just could not shake your words.
Let me present you with a loose analogy:
You are at work at a meeting. Tension is thick. There is a disagreement in the meeting that is making the friction fly. You are not necesarily a part of the tension, but you try to stem that tension anyway.
Do you:
A. cut into the meeting SINGING and requesting that everyone pray
B. sit in your chair and pray silently IN YOUR HEAD
C. PRAY later in your office, cubicle, bathroom stall, at home, etc.
Now me I am either going to do B or C. . . You might say well they weren't really at work, they were on a TV show preparing to take their career to the next level. Maybe, but in a sense the prepatory stage is just that -- a job. Robin, if so disturbed by the tension, could have prayed alone or with Kesse and Shannon about the situation.
Yes, God wants us to be a witness, but must we be overbearing with it.
Now when Robin called Ebony a DEMON -- That was not Christlike.
Instead of pointing that verse out to Elyse and making her feel like she did which only makes her further dislike Robin and other Christians, simply pray for Elyse's enlightenment.
Yeah Elyse was touched by the power of prayer and tried to deny it.
That was my $19.13 on the sit u 8 shun.
