How can we have a discussion if all you guys want to keep knit picking everything? I said “in general”

WE'RE the knit pickers?

Just discussing with you. Conservative and Liberal is completely relative. That's a fact, brother.

I guess being a knit-picker is better than being a nose picker.

In some ways I might be a conservative, but I am not in favor of throwing out the air conditioners and padded pews. I do prefer to play a real piano instead of an electric keyboard.

A Piano purist.Those acoustic pianos are awful touchy about tuning,it don't take much to get one out of tune does it ?

Act 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Notice that hey had a label called Christian. Now in this day, this label has been hijacked and we use some other names to help explain who we are. Was everyone that called them a Christian in the bible day a “Christian”? I think not but the label served a purpose

Hometown guy yes in our language labels do serve a purpose,I hope I haven't offended you in my postings.

They didn't call themselves Christians, they were negatively called "Christ-Imitators" or "mini-Christs", thus the translation Christians.

You're batting for left field right now.

They may serve a purpose at times, but many times they are harmful and are for social groups to find commonalities for acceptance. I've seen labels used like "they've gone charismatic" to describe people that were charismatic, to churches that started putting lyrics on a screen. It's ridiculous childish antics in God's church.
