Citing Titus, Christian Fox Sports 1 analyst Chris Broussard slammed a suggestion by televangelist T.D. Jakes as “offensive” and unbiblical that if unverified sexual misconduct allegations leveled against him were true, all he has to do is repent and keep on working.<\/p>\n

Broussard said in an Instagram post, “I didn’t like the way he handled the situation at his church that first Sunday after the allegations were made. He said something to the effect of if he did commit these things, all he’d have to do is repent and plead the blood and all that, and he’d be forgiven.” Broussard’s post comes after Jakes, who leads The Potter’s House megachurch in Dallas, Texas, intimated to his congregation on Christmas Eve that if an unverified report casting innuendo about his sexuality and accusing him of participating in sex parties hosted by Sean Combs, known as Diddy, was accurate, all he had to do was repent and everything would be alright.<\/p>\n

Jakes declared in a livestream of the service on YouTube, which has since been made private, “The worst that could happen, if everything was true, all I got to do is repent sincerely, from my heart. There’s enough power in the blood to cover all kinds of sins. I don’t care what it is; the blood would fix it. But I ain’t got to repent about this. All I got to do is step over top of it and keep on going on. I’m not in trouble.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “I’m talking about the power of the blood. Amen. Thank you, Jesus. I have used it, and I will use it again. But I ain’t got to use it for that. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Whenever I need it, it’s available to me. And it’s available to you. And you can have it when you need it. But you don’t have to plead the blood if you didn’t do the crime.”<\/p>\n
