Woods apology: Buddhist, biblical and Bill Clinton-esque?
A deeply apologetic Tiger Woods today added to his lengthy litany of sins, regrets and promises of repentance that he needs to return to Buddhist traditions.
While his pledge is to return to the Buddhist pathways, his point-by-point apology was classically biblical -- it's the same "turning" process that Bill Clinton cited, reading from a Jewish prayer, when he apologized for his Lewinsky affair in 1998:
Admit your wrongs, take responsibility for them, express your regrets to all who were harmed, and spell out your path to return to integrity and righteousness....

Jessica Dawson,
Here is 1 Cor 5:11-13 from the KJV for you to "judge". Which translation has more authority?
"But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or coveteous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such an one no not to eat.
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
But them that are without God judgeth. therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person."
Tiger Woods does not realize that the first step to Heaven is that he is lost. And the Highway to Glory is by the way of the Cross!
