You can find a few pro-life Democrats. Doesn't change the fact the Democrat part supports abortion rights.

Yes, knew one on Delphi forums years ago, named Jay. We were both on a Christian forum one time, I greeted him by saying 'greetings, my happy Pharisee friend' or something like that, whereupon all the Christians freaked out and thought I was berating him. He was Jewish, so therefore was a Pharisee, technically.

Titus2woman on AFF


"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

I'm suprised there aren't more typos. 95 percent of my posts are made from my Blackberry.

Two words come to mind about TB and what is stated in that article..."IF ONLY"....IF ONLY he would have done the things that this man suggested, it may have saved him.

It not only cost, TB his ministry....it cost a whole lot of people who depended on his counsel and ministry to become disillusioned and in despair.

That part about pastors thinking "it cannot happen to them", really hits home. Because they have to counsel people all the time who have fallen into sin...and probably hear the response all the time...."BUT I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME"!

Then THEY find out it has happened to them! And what is the response? Usually the same."BUT I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME"!

It is as sad as a drunk saying they are not an alcoholic! They refuse to get help...because....everyone ELSE can be a drunk...except them! They are too "strong willed" for that!

A lot of pastors think along on those same lines and it is sad to see them when they hit rock bottom, because they usually take a lot of people down with them. Usually innocent people who had absolutely nothing to do with their sin, but yet are caught in the aftermath.

We as Christians need to learn and learn well from this and other episodes of people falling into sin that...NO ONE is beyond temptation and falling...NO ONE!

If the Devil tempted Christ....do we actually think he is going to leave us alone? If we do, we may have another thing coming.

1 Peter 5:8

King James Version (KJV)

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

I don't read ANYWHERE where that scripture (Or the bible for that matter) talked about if you hold a position in the church that you are immune to temptation.

Got news for you...we all are!

1 Corinthians 10:12

King James Version (KJV)

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

This video and song by casting crowns really hits home on this topic...
