– Chris Pratt criticized for talking about Jesus after divorce
“Guardian Of Galaxy” star Chris Pratt have been heavily criticized by some Christians over his Jesus talk which came few days after his divorce from actress Anna Faris.
Following the heavy criticism and backlash American actress, producer, author, and talk show panelist, Candace Cameron Bure have moved to defend the movie star and has firmly declared her support for her fellow Christian brother.
Talk show panelist, Bure retweeted an article written by Faith Wire News with the caption which read, “To All the Christians Slamming Chris Pratt for Invoking Jesus After His Separation.”
The post was in response to those who slammed Pratt’s speech Sunday evening at the Teen Choice Awards, where he mentioned Jesus while accepting an award for choice sci-fi movie actor.
Some of the criticism were based on the grounds of his failed marriage while others accused him of making his wife a sinner by divorcing her.
Bure’s then gave a list of reasons why people should not be upset with Pratt.
“You don’t know their marriage. You’re making judgments without knowing whether the separation is biblical in nature”.
“With that in mind, is judgment with few details really what Jesus would do?”
“Prayer is surely a more constructive response. Why not call for prayer for Pratt and his family instead of taking the time to tear him down?”
“It’s clear that Pratt is invoking Jesus during a difficult time. Some people would go off the rails and abandon what they know. Why not give him a break and look at it as a profound encouragement that he’s turning to his savior?”
“The Bible is filled with flawed people (and I’m not saying that Pratt fits this bill when it comes to his marriage, as we simply don’t know the details — and we’re all flawed, anyway) who God still used (cough, cough: King David).”
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris announced their separation earlier this month. However they are not throwing away eight years of marriage so quickly as they have started attending couples’ therapy and are secretly trying to work out their problems.
