-- Yet you have time to come here and criticize how things are run. Membership only? Great idea Because nothing says, "Welcome to the body of Christ" for people searching for the truth like "By Invitation Only"...;)

I think that if people walk away from this board because they do not like how it is run, the people who remain will be the ones who benefit the most.

I would tend to agree with you about a Christian blaspheming the Holy Spirit. If you are truly seeking God, you are seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is why I think - for Christians - the grieving of the Holy Spirit is a bigger concern. Ephesians 4 warns about it. He is extremely...

-- With courage and truth. Don't pick a fight. Don't argue. Answer questions and present scripture. If they wish to argue or fight, thank them for their time and wish them a good day. -- I don't forsee any nations that aren't currently under a Muslim government to be under one any time in...

John, perhaps if you explained what prompted this question it would be easier to provider an answer.

-- You do realize that not everything discussed on this board is spiritual, don't you, and that whether something is a part of doctrine for a denomination, etc. is either a matter of fact or it is not? No? Tsk tsk tsk...

- Arrogance is often in the eye of the beholder. Murder, homosexuality, theft, adultery, sex outside of marraige is not. Assuming someone is arrogant because they rub you the wrong way does not give you insight into their heart and thus does not negate their right to ordination like being a...

If a person is truly trying to follow Christ, his concern should be more about grieving the Holy Spirit instead of blaspheming Him.

-- Aspen, will you please quit being intentionally obtuse?

-- When it comes down to it, delivery is everything...but, like it or not, some faiths are indeed 'invalid.' Jesus Himself said, "No one will see the Father but through me." "Tolerance" "Finding common ground" "All speaking to the same God" blah blah blah... In the end - if there is true...

Silly me, I thought that giving your opinion, along with actually supporting why you think your opinion has any value, was one of the things done here. Especially when you use your opinion to do blanket criticisms.

Aspen, you have multiple times used that example and that example alone as to how people witness to homosexuals. And you are still clueless to the fact that the Holyl Spirit actually directs - yes, directs - some Christians to speak to homosexuals, as well millions of others. If we all thought...

Shame so very little of it is supported by actual facts.

-- Good point, Ducky. Aspen criticized me in another thread for not providing a scripture to back up my position when I questioned the idea of praying to dead saints or to Mary instead of directly to Jesus. But he himself said it is fine for him to do it....even though there is no scripture to...

Some, like Aspen, who say that voting against Gay Marraige is "violating the civil rights" of gays can be seen as defending homosexuality, yes. This is compounded by the fact that he (incorrectly) states than anyone who witnesses to a homosexual uses criticism, ridicule, etc. and doesn't speak...

"Are they no longer in the Body of Christ?" - Aspen -- When you ask someone in your prayer group to pray for something, do you get down on your knees, fold your hands, close your eyes, and say "Blessed Leroy, honored by God, please intercede on my behalf?" Typical Aspen. Wants to spend his...

Fear, as covered in the scriptures means awe, respect, ,keeping perspective as far as who God is, a necessary tool to retain the humility that God calls us to have, etc. It can also mean literal 'fear.' Not necessarily fear of violence although God has used that threat. In Psalm 50 God says...

-- Really? The church, the whole church, and nothing but the church is completely ruled by Satan?

-- One usually criticizes a host AFTER they had done something that person felt deserved criticism.

Opinions need defense if you are trying to pass that opinion off as fact. Something you do on a regular basis.
