I did NOT defend TV! I am defending the freedom we have in Christ concerning TV. :P

Show me one historical reference that they called themselves a "fundamentalist movement"... Then show me what they meant by "fundamentalism"... You will see that the media is using the word in a different manner in order to discredit all fundamentalists and depict them as legalists.

There are other choices besides Jeb and Hillary. There's Scott Copeland, Ken Cross, Marc Feldman, David Holcomb, Steve Kerbel, Darryl Perry, and several others to vet. Why just stick to the media favorites??? Don't buy the hype!

I think what the media calls "fundamentalism" should more correctly be called "legalism"... 1. The only time I have ever heard or seen the term "fundamentalist movement" it was a label placed on the group that opposed them, not by the members of the group. (stigma via misuse of words) 2. Your...

Indeed! well put! It is sheer laziness to let someone else's study of God's Word replace our own! God expects us to have a personal relationship with Him. The radio pundit can never be a valid substitute for letting God speak directly to us. Just like babies, the food gets chewed up and...

I think I did not make myself clear... Churches of any size can become corrupt. But each local congregation should have its own personality and/or culture. Too much control from a nonlocal governing body leads to legalism and oppression. History bears this out. For sure, churches of a...

My sentiments exactly! Last thing we need is more of same!

Enjoy your coffee break! B)

You're right. It is a fallacy of logic for a non-scientist to declare that the Bible contains a complete scientific explanation of something. They are not qualified to make such statements, as you just pointed out...

Thanks BA, and I just read your comment and replied to it on the other thread... Man-made rules are cultural in nature, and no follower of Christ is required to comply with them. We have freedom in Christ, not submission to the authority of a person who him/herself is in need of grace. As long...

That statement is "fundamentalist"... It really peeves me when the media decides to re-define words to suit their agenda. The GOP has nothing to do with fundamentalism. They don't follow Christ or His teachings and they do not unite anyone. FUNDAMENTAL means "RELATED TO THE FOUNDATION"...

I agree with you, but the way I see it, this is all the more reason we should not have organized religion. When we look to some human authority over a local body of believers, we are guaranteed corruption. Jesus is the head of the church! We are merely parts of the body. As such, each part...

I don't blame you. God has a habit of destroying idols because they cause His bride to commit spiritual adultery (Isaiah 57). "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the...

Hmmm... how did you arrive at that conclusion? I didn't read that at all from Axehead's post: "The doctrine or teaching of Christ and the apostles is that Jesus Christ is God. If one does not know Him as God, they will not know Him as the One that has forgiven them of their sins and indwelt...

The danger of democracy is the tyranny of the majority. When the majority of people in a country becomes derelict in their morals and responsibilities, the majority becomes dangerous. As Aspen wrote, only one pure democracy ever existed, and it didn't last. As for a republic, it also is...

Thank you. And I understand... I don't have all the answers that you ask of me, but I am skeptical about the ones I've collected so far on this subject... I am enjoying discussing this with you. And I pray for God to enlighten me, and help me sift out the doctrines of man from the truth of...

Awesome post! Well said! "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?" -Isaiah 40:12

We will never have a gov't that is not influenced by religious ideology... unless we only have people in gov't without souls... God prefers a theocracy for Himself. I really don't think He cares what form of gov't humans have. It is up to the people to put God first in their own lives, then...
