Just go to DKB's personal page - followed a link from the church's website - then hold down "ALT" and hit "Print Screen." This captures the web page or whatever is in the active Window on your desktop. Then I just saved the image.

Good thing, too. I think RS reads this forum and cleaned up the boss's photo gallery after I posted that.

your flaw stemmed from that you seem to think there is no need for labels or orgs.... My point was only in agreement with you that those of like faith would you be correct. The reason for orgs/bodies is a declaration of what they believe as biblical truth on essentials for the most part. Thus good reason why there are orgs and denoms or labels of belief. People identify be such. I see your flaw as it seemed you don't agree with orgs or labels etc...

No sir. I don't remember ever saying that. If I did say that there was no need for labels or orgs please point that out for me. This appears be an assumption you drew from my statements.

What I was stating is that, though I do not view men & orgs as evil, we should not kid ourselves that God is overly concerned with the inner politics of such entities.

I agree... I drew that from your statements not directly. I think though God is concerned with everything as everyones decisions have resulting good or bad actions.

Yes sir... And I will certainly not argue with your assessment because, at the end of the day, my opinion is truly no more than that... one man's opinion.

I think Sam is dead right.

I'm sure there is room among us for differences of opinion.

I can certainly see organizing for a united effort such as evangelism. Several churches together could afford more than individual churches. I can also see it for maintaining some semblance of accountability for ministers.

It does bother me to see the body of Christ divided by our organizations.

Maybe God DID try to talk to PM wayyyy before GC, and he wasn't paying attention.

I agree that God gets blamed for a lot of things--but, again, if a fellow Christian says, "I can't do that because God told me not to", I have no real good reason to doubt them. Frankly, since this is something PM was obviously interested in, I would think this would be the only logical explanation to him withdrawing his name.

Idk, this all sounds good in theory, but is this really the way life works? Did you believe Clinton when he said he didn't inhale or said he didn't have sex with 'that woman'? Nobody believed him (except those who wanted to believe him), and it turns out for good reason. If you're truly objective the explanation offered by PM isn't the only logical explanation for his w/drawal.
