Oh come on. That is the most sophomoric attempt at insulting it's only used now by the total neophyte. Come up with something original to express your hatred.

No need to feel sorry for me, Prax, my church doesn't have less power, nor does it have more power. God has always been in the midst of our church and when we received His Spirit, we have always been endued with power from on high.

You were the one saying the church was powerless

You can't handle the phenomenon that people who believe in the things you despise under the Apostolic umbrella really do have power from God.

That didn't make any sense. I don't hate anything under the Apostolic umbrella nor do I deny we have power. YOU were the one talking about a lack of power in the church, not me

I feel sorry for the way you limit God and put him in a little box that only Prax thinks He can work in or from.

How do I limit God? Im not the one that asserted the church had less power, YOU did.

Now I see the problem.

Interesting.
So is entertainment wrong, in and of itself?
Is there no such thing as wholesome entertainment, in your view?

Who said anything about radio being wrong? Who said anything about entertainment being wrong?

The spirit that inspires people to accept the newest and greatest thing is what I was writing about here. That spirit is straight from the world, a fad.

As for entertainment, read my post again. I didn't say that those who need entertainment are shallow, I said that those who need media (for their source of I admit I left this part of the sentece out) entertainment are shallow.

Well gee, I don't think it was such an outrageous question, based on the plain reading of what you said.
Do you simply not remember what you said?

You compared the fight to accept radio with the fight to accept other media today. I'm no rocket scientist, but you seemed to clearly imply that radio was a thing "that enticed carnality":

A natural reading of that would seem to imply that you thought that radio should not have been accepted by the church, because it is something that enticed carnality.

...if that's not what you meant, fine. But that's sure how it appeared to me.

My own view: there is no media technology that is inherently sinful. It comes down to how the technology is used.

Yeah. That's plain to see. So much for actually discussing anything with you. It's back to idiotland for you in my mind.
