It is unfair to judge them as separating because of what they are against when in reality they may be separating because of what they are for!

I tend to take the attitude my Dad always had about issues like this... "if God is in it I don't want to fight it. If God is not in it I don't need to fight it because it will fail."

I love ya Phil, but this is plain silly.

Some of these men may have those motives, but I dare say there is a group that just wants "power, power, wonder working power."

Wherein dost thou find silliness? I was simply pointing out that Keith's argument that these men are forming because of what they are Against is not a fair assessment. HE (Keith) may see it that way because of where he personally stands on the issues but that makes it merely his view and not truth.

These men, because of where they stand on the issues, see that they are forming because of what they are FOR.

You, bringing a third perspective to the party, see that these men are forming, not because of what they are against or what they are for, but because they desire power. This is because of where you stand on the issues and how your position establishes your perspective.

What am i saying? I am saying that we are all capable of being judges based on our own perspectives and we are probably all a little right and a little wrong but overall inaccurate in our assignment of motive.

I say again, if it be of God I don't want to fight it... if it be not of God I don't need to fight it because it will accomplish nothing of eternal value any way!

I just wish everyone had Dad's take on things... they would all have fewer ulcers, would sleep much better at night and would fulfill their specific call of God more effectively!
