Who is Russell Wilson? And why is he someone we should care about?

Who's this guy?

Who's this guy?
Obviously someone we should care about on getbig. Sounds like the OP has a deep love for Russell. Very strange behavior of a grown, adult male.
-
So he's got a extravagant home and possessions but a 4th rate Weider home gym...... why even bother having that junk?
SF1900 he's the Seattle quarterback.
-
But as always, you can't buy good taste..

Don't you have to get back to analyzing your phil heath social media feed so you can post an update thread on every instagram comment he makes? :-*
-

It's a nice house. I figured it would be pretty quick before someone said he had no taste.

I just checked his FB and instragram. Unfortunately, no updates.
ps - I only update the comments where he owns "haters." He makes thousands of comments, however, I am most concerned with analyzing and disseminating those comments which own "haters."

Stop lying. You also post video workout updates, new merchandise updates, college speech updates and emergency Kai Greene updates.

Pretty much looks like the typical get bigger's guest house.

Yes, but those rarely get posted, since he is owning haters all day long. Hater comments are much more attended to and posted. That is what I love to post.
And I dont know what the "emergency Kai Greene updates" mean. :-\ :-\ :-\

Watch out, you may piss off Al Doggity. He seems to really be defending Russells home!! I wonder if big Al is best friends with this man named Russell.

They are pretty frequent and don't hide your Phil lust.

And I am not too sure Id consider than an "emergency" video.

Not that I like football because I don't, but he is a QB for the Seahawks. And yes for such a nice house that home gym sucks.
Russel is most know for:
1) botched the throw in final seconds of Super Bowl last year that cost them the championship.
2) his fellow black football players accuse him of not being black enough (he's black) ???
-

Why do you keep lying. Just in this thread, you pretended that you only posted about Phil when he owned haters, not everytime you imagined sucking him dry.
And I am not too sure Id consider than an "emergency" video.
The video was not an emergency. Which is why I am pointing out how bizarre it was that you announced it was 13 hours old in the title.
-
Prediction: Lots of hot white pussy will be destroyed in this crib.
-
Russell Wilson fucking sucks. He's lucky he plays on a team with the best running back in the league and the best secondary.
They should pay Beast Mode and not this tool. fuck him.

Calm down, Al, we all love Russells house, man. It's a very nice house!!

::) Oh, brother. The old "let me pretend the other guy is having a meltdown while I imagine playing Phil Heath's skinflute while photoshopping myself into every pic I methodically downloaded from Phil Heath's instagram while unconvincingly telling myself that I'm not secretly in love with Phil Heath" routine. Nice try.

Sf1900 does not like Heath, fact!

Less than a week ago, you posted this:

Actually, my 3 favorite bodybuilders, when I cared about pro bodybuilding
Which stood out to me, because up until then, I did not know you were supposed to be presenting the image of someone who did not care about bodybuilding. I thought you were presenting the image of someone so obsessed with bodybuilding that you made emergency posts about what Kai Greene looked like 13 hours ago.
-
??? ??? ??? ???
Without Kai, there will be no webcast. He's the only one people care about.
Word in my gym is that since Kai bailed, they've cancelled the webcast.

It's funny that Lynch got stuffed on 4th and 1 to end the game today. Maybe Pete was on to something after all 8)

Without the adderall that "everyone does", Lynch lacks the beastmode needed to get a single yard when it matters.

240, do you think Kai is the golden boy of bodybuilding?

Kai respects the stage lines and doesn't call fans fat asses or pu$$ies.
I think people prefer that.
-
I don't care about bodybuilding, but I still follow it to an extent.
Try to troll me harder. :D :D
To an extent? You follow it obsessively. Also, I'm not trolling you. You're trolling me. You're trolling has just been contradicted by so much you've posted in the past. Most notably, your intense, sexual infatuation with Phil Heath. An obsession so intense that you assume a post featuring photos of a guy's house and no text mirrors your Fatal Attraction-like Phil Heath fetish.

I think phil has a problem with authority. He sees judges' lines as some sort of insult.

240, your distaste for seattle is well documented;
HOWEVER
now that turbin has been released and acquired by the browns, i would like your opinion about his bodybuilding potential
(http://ww3.hdnux.com/photos/11/72/72/2600590/11/920x920.jpg)
i think he may have missed a golden opportunity to bow out from the NFL and take up the thong. imo the dude could do more damage on the posing dais than he ever will at the line of scrimmage.

His distaste for Seattle stems from me knowing Pete Carroll and Chris Carlisle and me working with some of the athletes for their NFL and Pro Day combines.

It's a nice house. I figured it would be pretty quick before someone said he had no taste.
It's a large, luxurious, but ugly house. It makes me wonder why so many American interior designers lack good taste...

Looks like a property that will (again) belong to Yavid Goldstein's bank within 5 years. Should have invested in purple drank.
-

Agreed, Its in Bellevue WA, (Home of the new money, in WA) Wilson got a great deal on the property, esp. It being on Lake Washington; However, it rains 9months of the year, so no cool sunrises/sunsets until next July.😕
-
Just the way God would intend for him to live. haaha
-

You don't really see houses like this being built in America, though. Even huge, well-built mansions that are less than 30 years old don't really have a lot of design detail. The guy who originally owned and commissioned this house was Indian. An earlier posted said Wilson got a great deal and that's probably why. It's such a non-American style. I would not be surprised if it had been sitting on the market for a long time.

No, they can't. Unless you are a Christian who perversely wants to stay out of heaven. But most christians are hypocrites anyway, so being rich or not is not germane to the topic.

Nice try fellas, but you're both mistaken.
Jesus taught that God should have your heart not your possessions. His teachings on riches showcased people who were owned by their possessions and wealth. This was bad stewardship because the true understanding of life was/is all that we have is owned by God, we are merely stewards.
-
What does Joel Osteen have to do with Russell Wilson?
Both are rich and supposedly Christian. You lambasted Joel for being flamboyant of his wealth. Well, so is Russell Wilson.
That is the point EDB is trying to make.

You should reread my words in that thread and separate my opinions from scripture. What did I say about Osteen in particular?

What about Job, Abraham, David or Solomon?

If they don't want to make it into heaven, then I guess they are allowed to be rich. But I guess they can still consider themselves a Christian, however it may be harder for them to get into heaven.
But if they want to make it into heaven, it will be difficult. It says it right there. Its the bible saying it. Not me.

Yes, but if the Christians sole purpose it to please God, and the bible is the divinely inspired word of God, then clearly God has some issues with rich people, as it will be more difficult to get into heaven. Russell Wilson is not attempting to please God with his huge fortune.

Quit your arguing. Listen. Christians want to Cherry pick the bible to fit their needs. They'll do what fits their lifestyle and quote it as scripture and claim everything else in the bible is left to interpretation and is voluntary.

So is it difficult to be rich and get into heaven or impossible to be rich and get into heaven? You've said both here.

He's putting together his latest Phil Heath fanboard collage while he types, so you can't expect him to make sense.

Well, the quote never specific delineates which one, but it sounds more like the latter.
However, Russell is making no attempts to curb his wealth. Greed rules him.

Lol how is this different from any other people group?
"Cheery picking" laws and rules to fit an individual or groups needs isn't exclusive to Christianity, it happens every single day. If you've sped you've done this, taken a call/sent a text while driving (depending on the laws in your state) etc...
Church, government, business corporation, general public all do this.
Christians just make better hypocrites.

Valid point. For the record how do we, as getbiggers, define the term rich? According to the definition that was established here Wilson is merely comfortable, so he may be ok...

Oh boy, typical theist response. Matt Dillahunty talked about this ploy used by Christians. He said when he was a Christian he used to do it all the time. That is what makes Matt Dillahunty such a greater debater--he knows the bible practically better than most Christians (as he was one for like 25-30 years). Which is why many theists refuse to debate him. :D :D
That is exactly what the statement says. No more, no less.
ps - there are many bible verses about money being the root cause of evil, and that greed and money are wrong. One bible verse even states that you cant have a relationship with god and money.
Its clear that Russell has quite the relationship with his fame and fortune.

Technically he hasn't received more than $50 million yet, he's "scheduled" to earn more but until he's actually gotten the money he is just rich.

The idea of appealing to the greater context that a small passage is contained in to help define meaning is an aspect of becoming a critical reader that is taught in elementary school.
That said, how about we just stay on topic?

Yes, but that skill hardly applies to a book with a new and old testament, as well as MULTIPLE interpretations. Eventually, one just has to laugh at it.
Ive already found 4 quotes in the bible that indicate that money is the root of all evil and that one cannot have a relationship with God and money.
It is quite clear that Russell has an overwhelming devotion and relationship to money.

The want of money is the root of all evil, if I remember my quote correctly. ???

Yes, or more commonly the love of money. Which completely changes the meaning.
Don't worry sf1900, I'll still respond to your pms. I guess you're just too much in my head I also have to address you in this thread I started.

You don't know your own bible? :-\ :-\ :-\ Matt Dillahunty can practically quote bible verses on the spot. Maybe you should read your bible and know as much of it as an atheist does. :-\ :-\ Just type in bible and money.
Second, the whole idea about looking at in the context is dumb. This can apply to every passage in the bible. Epic contradictions all over the place. One part says this, another part says that. Thus, its almost impossible to accurately determine what your God wants. If God is the author of the bible, he is a pretty shitty author. He would definitely not win any awards for fiction. Can't make up his mind.
Its a favorite "argument" from theists. Always about the "context."

I think its quite clear that Russell loves money, otherwise why accept close to a 90 million dollar deal?

Let's just stay on topic.

Staying on topic would be posting about Russell's house ;)

Accepting payment for a service is not the same thing as loving money. And even then, the bible doesn't equate loving money with evil. It very specifically says that loving money can lead to evil.

This is true, but it can all tie back in the end.

Yes they did get a great tight end in the trade with the Saints.

Yes, but he can easily accept a smaller salary or donate most of his money to charity. He chooses not to. The only conclusion is that he loves having an overwhelming amount of money. The fact that he is doing a service does not mean that he cant accept a smaller salary. He is choosing to accept large sums of money.
Personally, I don't care how much he gets paid. I agree that he is doing a service and getting paid for it. I am only speaking in the context of the bible.
The bible says, "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Again, I cant imagine any other reason to have such an overwhelming amount of money, unless one absolutely loves having that much money. Why else would he keep it? Why else would he buy such fancy things? He loves money and what it buys him. As most of us would.
Sorry, you can't convince me that Russell does not love money based on his lavish lifestyle.

There are two huge gaps in what you're passing off as logic: making money and loving money aren't the same thing. And even then, the bible warns against loving money as it can lead to evil, not that it is evil in itself. Wanting to be financially stable doesn't mean that one can't be "godly". In your opinion it might mean that, but by Christian standards and based on the bible quotes you are referencing, that's not the case.

I obviously do not know Russell Wilson's "heart," but in my opinion he LOVES making money to buy outlandish items.
Further, there are some passages, as the one I posted above, where it does not indicate the problem with money is that it may lead to evil. In some places it says that, in other places it does not.
But Russell is not just financially stable. He is WAY beyond that, to the point of an outlandish extreme. Would God accept him buying a $15 million dollar mansion (I dont know how much it really cost) while there are starving children? He can give 10 million away to help starving children, and still live nicely in a 5 milllion dollar home. If God asks him why didn't he do this, what will he say?

That's your own arbitrary limit, though. Someone making $45k a year doesn't "love" money less. They just likely don't have the ability to acquire more money. There's no indication that Russell has compromised any of his other Christian beliefs to acquire the money he has. It really is not a christian belief that being poor is righteous and Godly. I'm no longer a practicing christian, but even the passage where the camel verse if from touches on that.

Then to be honest, your bible does a lousy job at putting forth any principles without having to jump through 1000 loopholes to understand it. Its arbitrary and up for interpretation. As I stated, if God was the author of the bible via divine inspiration, he did a pretty crap job at creating a consistent book. Its just all up for interpretation.
Also, the bible does say to give away all of your possessions to the poor. So another big question is what is Russell doing with his money. If hes hoarding it and not giving to charity or helping others, than I say this is against the bible. As the bible says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor." A man who is right by God will help those in need to the best of his ability.

sF bro, why have a rational conversation with the irrational? Its a waste of time. Their whole belief system of non sense is so fucked up, its virtually impossible to debate them. Its basically like talking to a child. There is no self doubt, no internal questioning, no self assessment with them. Its handed down generation to generation to the unluckiest of human children. Its a disease of the mind.
And to stay on topic, the dude is like mid 20s...if thats his house, he has the worst style ever. I would expect some rich ass baby boomer to find that gawdy house appealing.

It's not my bible. I dind't write it and , as I stated, I'm not a practicing Christian. I'm agnostic, at best. But I was raised in a religious household and did have a bit of a crisis of conscience when I was younger and a "believer" in regards to seeking out great financial success. Ultimately, I discovered it's not ungodly to want money. One of the primary things you have to keep in mind is the difference between how the rich were seen then and now. They were seen as people in God's favor, not only economically higher but spiritually better. So, a lot of what Jesus says in the context of his audience taking for granted that the rich are better people. For instance, in the camel story you mentioned. There is a part in that story where the people are stunned that Jesus says the rich people aren't going to heaven. Most quotes about giving away possessions are about subverting that idea, in some way. There's also the parable of the masters and the talents, which is a story about working hard, serving your master and prospering.
I'm not arguing with you that the bible is contradictory and fake, but it's really not unchristian or unholy to be rich.

I didn't literally mean "YOUR" bible. I just said that in reference to you once practicing.
Well, I don't think its ungodly to own money, however clearly the obsession and hoarding of money, without giving away some to charity, cant be seen as godly in Gods eye. But given the inconsistencies in the bible, its almost impossible to say.

Nice house, bit sterile and empty though. No warmth but they make it like that for photo shoots - no kid's toys etc unless it is a deliberate ploy.
