I give the people who decided the television issue the benefit of the doubt. I have no doubt they based their decision on principle. I beleive they seriously prayed about it before coming to their conclusion.
Evidence suggests the upci internet resolution was not prayerfully considered. One uses a lot of the same terminology that blasts one technology to hell while coddling another technology hasn't been in the prayer closet much. Not one person has publically stated they prayed and fasted about the internet with the same fervency. It is because they desired the medium. They don't have a single original conviction in their body. Living off the convictions of the past. Reminds me of the sect of religious people who crucified Jesus.
God's principles are not a smorgasboard. Pick and choose when to apply principle.
The anti-tv crowd is worse than Democrats in speading misinformation.
They say television leads to compromise in doctrine and standards. The ALJC is proof that is false. I suggest they grow up

Now, why can't the UPC recommend ways to watch safe programming? And why do they just recommend instead of require? If they required, perhaps their own wouldn't be falling as they are, i.e. park rendezvous and internet affairs.
I have yet to hear of a minister, pastor, or even just a saint fall into sin over having a TV. Not one divorce or adulterous affair have I ever heard come from the watching of the tube.
Why hasn't God told the ALJC crowd in a T&I that TV is wrong? Don't they have the same spirit we do?
Perhaps the interpreters aren't willing.  Yeah, that must be it.  |
