Conservatives build

Liberals gain leadership

Conservatives leave and rebuild.

It is a loop.

Never had that problem.

Funny, don't you claim to be the original.

I would say "liberals gain leadership" is a little off, inacurate... not sure the word I'm looking for but howabout "liberals ensalve"

Sorry, mate, but I don't think "ensalve" is the word you're looking for either.

When my muscles get sore, there’s nothing better than being ensalved.

Anyhoo...are we talking theological liberalism vs. conservatism...’cause I would not want to sign on to one always being right and one always being wrong. I would have to here a time period, an issue and a position.

As with politics, those who describe themselves either way sometimes have a point.

 

[2A_Tom]

The terms are not succinct in any way.

The liberal soul shall be made fat. This is talking about Charity, love in action, giving freely of your bounty to help those in need. Even when your bounty seems meager to you.

I use the term conservative to depict one that believes and upholds Biblical principles and liberal for those that would water it down and compromise G-ds Word because they put their mind above His.

TL/DR: Beth Moore stops being associated with the SBC, because she wants to be considered a full preacher, and they say "no".


The irony is (IMHO), she won't be a preacher because all she does is give motivational speeches of pablum.


But... it does show there are some serious issues in the SBC; I'm more concerned about race than gender.

 

[JettaKnight]

Good for you, Roman Catholics.

...and in my (SBC) church starting Weds.:




I don't think the SJWs will be very happy with the content of this study.

Just a little plug for our church
Heatherhills.org
You can listen to them online or attend online but our pastor is gifted with knowing English, Greek, Latin and really know how to expound on what is written. Unlike alot of churches I've tried, he does not try to interpret.. he literally expounds upon what it is saying and giftedly paints a picture of the surrounding context. JMO..Check them out if you like... btw... denomination is regular Baptist

Yeah, there's a line that isn't clearly understood among the secular mainstream: the relationship as being separate from the people in the relationship.

The people are sinners (as we all are) and can be respected and appreciated, while the relationship - and the imitative way that it is presented - can be... properly viewed as sinful.

There actually isn't much new in the statement itself. Really, it is more of a checkpoint for the media. "We haven't asked for awhile, so we'll check again and see if anything has changed."

Or, to put it another way, the Pope remains Catholic. Or at least Jesuit.

And what are we to do when someone refuses to repent?

And what are we to do when someone refuses to repent?

Torture them until they confess and then execute them for their sins?

 

[NKBJ]

When people don't repent should we do what Jesus told us?
Most of the church corporations aren't so now we know which side they're on but still, come on, which "church" do you want to be part of? We're either His or we belong to the opposition.

 

[2A_Tom]

And what are we to do when someone refuses to repent?

Try to be like G-d and love them in spite of their opposition. We have had many come to our Church as unbelievers and come back because someone was nice to them, they enjoyed the atmosphere, the music, they hated the sermon because it stepped on their toes, you name it.

 

[NKBJ]

The repent-forgive-slip-repent-forgive-slip-repent-forgive (and hopefully stop slipping so much) cycle and recycle is what works. No repentance and it doesn't work.

The churches that are accepting unrepentant sin into their congregation... that's not what Jesus said to do. Is that a part of the great falling away? I wonder.

 

[2A_Tom]

How Pharisiac.

First. You are either Saved or unsaved.

If you are Saved, you will continue to backside and confess until the day you go to Heaven.

If you are unsaved, you will continue to sin until the day that you either trust Christ, or you die.

We give people in both cases the best support to know and grow in Christ.
