    hi again.

    Always put them back on the same shelf, and they won't be so hard to keep up with.

    Defending Homosexuality

    I learned a long time ago that you needn't know everything... just know where to go to find it.

    Defending Homosexuality

    Did you notice that I only "copied" that stuff from a website?

    Defending Homosexuality

    There really ARE a lot of people that believe you only receive grace for things past.... that if you do anything else wrong from that point on, "there is no more forgiveness." Believe me, I've met them.

    Defending Homosexuality

    All he was saying is that when you see words like, "For that reason," or "thus," or "because of this," or "Therefore," you really should look deeper to see what that phrase is there for.

    Defending Homosexuality

    Wow! Someone who understands we are required to read Scripture in context. Rare, indeed.

    Defending Homosexuality

    I do want to make it plain that though I don't like nor condone homosexuality, I will completely defend homosexuals who do not flaunt it, and want to change... EVEN IF they cannot stop yet. I am (hopefully) not as self-righteous as some who feel that since THEY have told homosexuals how...

    What do you bring........

    What do you bring out of tough times and discouraging trials? We all go through them. Periods of our lives when almost everything looks bleak. And since no one has yet attended our funerals, it’s obvious we made our way through those past ordeals. We somehow got to the other side. But are...

    hi again.

    Yep. It's a bit more cynical, and a lot more argumentative. LOL

    Why are our ordained pastors so ignorant of Scripture?

    MM, Luke 9:5 was not about Christians fellowshipping.

    Why are our ordained pastors so ignorant of Scripture?

    The epistles relate many disagreements that wound up in separation and people even leaving others during mission journeys.

    Why are our ordained pastors so ignorant of Scripture?

    Of course it would. That is why God said to hang out with others who worship Him... no matter where you find them, nor even if they agree with you. Even the Apostles disagreed on many things. Likeminded is not "in lockstep."

    We Don't Know NOTHING ... Because We're Stupid And Lazy

    Uh, BJ..... Everyone "misquotes" scripture if it doesn't match the wording that the particular translation we happen to read chose to use.

    Why are our ordained pastors so ignorant of Scripture?

    In actuality, I imagine most young preachers DO know Scripture well..... The specific and concentrated-upon scriptures that elevate and accentuate the "tunnel-missioned" (and visioned) focus of the organization they go to work for. Receiving a guaranteed and steady check can influence a lot.

    Why are our ordained pastors so ignorant of Scripture?

    The only problem is that they, then, absorb the inculcation of specifically, and only, "slanted" (or even totally fabricated or mistaken) interpretations of Scripture. Thereby effectively isolating their thinking to the limited sphere of the esoteric mindset of just their specific...

    Something Odd Has Been Going On.

    But, please don't be caught flat-footed and mute if one of them asks of your paraphrasing, "Is that really in the Bible?" because you have decided not to keep a Bible at your desk.

    What am I? Calvinist...or Arminian? Or something in between?

    What books of the Bible did John Calvin write? And which ones did Martin Luther write? 1 Cor 1:11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”...
