Was that called for? So I guess if I present a retort to this insult I would be thought of as being the bad guy?

As I mentioned, he loved to watch preaching videos, and I can only imagine that he would have loved for the Apostolic message to have been out there for the whole world to see!

When you say "mellowed" what do you mean? How old was he when he "mellowed"? You are correct when you say "imagine". I use that same word when pondering about my Atheist father and speculating what his response to Truth would have been had it been presented to him via a critical method of interpretation (the Bible).

Oh heavens....no, it was not a UPC!
There are several denominal churches around northeast TN and southwest VA that are using the Andy Griffith shows for their Wednesday night Bible studies. They're teaching basic principles of life such as honesty, morality, etc.

Denominational churches have to do something to make up for the lack of the Holy Ghost moving among them.

No retort necessary oh thou serious one...I was JOKING...That's what TIC means!! Tongue In Cheek....
If you took it as an insult you must be one of those preachers who doesnt believe in joking and laughing...carry on in your joyless world and pay no attention to my feeble attempt at humor...
BTW, I think Andy Griffith goes back even further to the 1950's....LOL!!!

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?
Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

Everything you post here is the opposite of what I would expect to see as help to those other kids. Your posts are always negative, dark, cynical , brooding, critical of everything and everyone. Sometimes it seems you are just playing Devils Advocate for whatever reason. Questioning everything is not a gift. Anyone can do that. Encouraging others to have more faith in Jesus? Now THAT is what we need to hear.
This also sort of assumes all other kids do the same thing

putting on a mask of happiness and good "old fashioned" Apostolic goodness, when inside you are tore up and dying... but no one can know that... Because do you know what we do to people who admit they're tore up and dying???

We heal them bro...where you went to church is NOT the norm for us if that is how it was for you.

Yes, I realize I'm exagerrating just a smidge at times in this post... But man, we need to get the focus OFF of this "let's baptize as many people as possible" thing and get it on to "let's get everyone to having a real, strong relationship with Christ" and realize that a small part of that relationship is baptism... baptism is step one, well, actually its probably step 2 or 3 or 4... but so much more of this Christian walk is about love for God and love for every other human being on this earth and we ignore those parts....
|
No, we need to stop with the old grump criticisms of everything that lies under the sun and everything else other than our pet projects. We need to focus on ALL things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. I have not seen anyone focusing only on baptizing as many as possible and neglecting moving on to having a strong relationship with Christ. That's crazy. When I read posts like this I really lose interest in the individual being a serious person. It is not necessary to tear someone else's view down or rain on their party in order to make a point about other issues we need. Doing that all the time just brings more negativity into the scene.

And I understand why, you can't count how much love someone has... You can't get behind a pulpit pound your fist down and say "27 people loved Christ more last Sunday!!" and have everyone shout Hallelujah to it... But you can pound and say "15 got baptized in Jesus' name" even if 14 of those 15 won't ever be seen again in 6 months and the other one won't last a year...

Oh baloney. You posts are just so absurdly out there. No wonder you get the kind of reactions you do from other posters.

That is entirely their choice. Nobody held a gun to their heads just as nobody held a gun to the heads of those that were for TV and left prior to the resolution.

The new Southern District that will rise from the ashes of the WD will probably feel very little impact and in fact if that be the case we can plant new churches in those cities.

As for eb, you are right. His posts still reek of arrogant elitism, and patronization, as evidenced by him using phrases like "young man" and "my boy".
So much has happened, and nothing has changed.

now now elder gentleman with the graying beard, let's not talk that way about EB
