What is "Old Time Religion"

Again I disagree with you here. But everyone has an opinion. If I had a problem with anyone persons post then I would approach that person privately & have it out with them rather than make it a public forum & perhaps embarrass the individual in question. Isn't that how Christians are instructed to do things in scripture.....Approach in all Loving Concern?

 

Yes. But you've witnessed folks approach Luke. I don't have a problem with Luke, just speaking the truth in love.

What I said is the real reason it is written.

Everything others say to him is construed a drive by, straw man, red herring.

Now. Perhaps you should have done the same towards me?

You've done exactly what you think I've done.

In public too!

Wow! Amazing aint it! :love2:

 

Sins committed in public ought to be rebuked in public. "Them (elders) that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear."

Now watch, Luke will attack me again for this statement. Last time I didn't even read the insult before the monitors deleted it (and suspended him, as I recall). Just as well. Rippon then rebuked Luke. No response from Luke to Rippon except "God bless." He doesn't appear to respond well to rebuke, even from fellow Calvinists.

 

This will be contrued a drive by, blah blah blah.

Many on here have said the same thing concerning the poll as I have.

I get picked out with the reply from EWF playing hero for Luke.

I'm special!!!!

Truth hurts. And there is nothing unscriptural with what I have done, and the hilarious thing is EWF was doing the EXACT same thing to me that was construed as sinful and unbiblical in which I was being rebuked for.

Oh no!!!! He never thought of that! :laugh:

:wavey:

 

Everybody needs a friend, and EWF is Luke's. Maybe EWF can talk some sense into the man in a PM. "Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee." There's the key.... :saint:

 

Bro..... oh never mind:love2:. just know this, I didnt attack you. OK!

 

If he's a real friend, he'll do just that.

I feel what will happen is EWF will justify what he said to me, as him being right to do so, and that I did the same exact thing is wrong. Although I don't agree that what I did was wrong at all. It's speaking the truth in love. :love2:

It's typical on this site to justify and go on in self deception. Among Christians this is shameful. And you are correct John, the churches in the states are becoming worse and more worldy. The love of many has grown cold.

Your Scripture was timely and right on. God's Word is alive and active.

I hope it goes that way, and that humility, admittance, acceptance and repentance are forthcoming. In other words, real Christianity on display. I think it's time for that.

I'd love to be wrong concerning this with my doubt. Just judging by staus quo brother.

- God Bless

 

John....I seriously dont think it was intended to be a sin. and really these comments are unnessery. My Old Union saw it as an insult, Don saw it as an insult & heck I guess as a PB, I could have seen it as insulting... you know but I did not. Rather I saw it as a misguided attempt at conveying something & for that misguided attempt, I wouldn't excoriate anyone especially a Brother in Christ. And I agree with Tom & I agree with Old Union that we need (& I mean seriously mean) to rise above this petty backbiting. We are acting in opposition to one another as Christians. Not good!

 

But of course, sarcasm.

Why not be a man, or, better yet, the Christian you are, and admit you were wrong?

You'd do something most won't, practicing what you preach, and showing humility.

Like a sign I saw "Be the person your dog thinks you are."

I won't hold my breath. Status quo Christianity is in style. Not biblical Christianity.

 

You're politicking here while justifying yourself. Status quo Christianity.

 

Preach4, I didnt come down hard on you because I understood your attempt to correct Luke. Im sorry if you took it as such.

 

"Im sorry you took it as such?" Uh. OK.

This means "P4T you are the one who is wrong, but accept this as an apology anyhow, although I have admitted to nothing."

I'll pass. That is no apology.

Ridiculous.

Like I said. Typical. And you know it.

"Billy Goat repentance:" "butt, butt butt butt..."

 

Oh brother......fine:laugh:

 

I know it's hard.

I thought you were above this, at least hoped it.

You know in your heart you have not admitted to the truth, nor have you apologized.

You blamed it on me, as if it's my fault, and expect this to be accepted as a genuine apology.

Not here. You and I both know better.

So does Someone else.

I love ya man, but I see this sort of nonsense, and non repentance go on in churches constantly.

raying:

 

Preach4, I am not here to cause a scene so I apologize for offending you. Regarding churches, they all need to "forgo the ego" (hey, I like that!) & point to Christ..... IE I take it seriously when scripture says we ought to obey God rather than men. And Scripture tells us to make peace with the brethren.

Wow, this is so unusual to me.....to put to death the old man .... very strange indeed!

 

Preacher4truth, for those of us who do more reading than typing...you have needlessly made this thread a whole lot more longer than it would have been had you never started typing your posts against Luke & EWF. Your first post on this thread is quoted above & was found on page 10...and it adds nothing to the subject of the thread. I'm tired of reading your posts, they add nothing to the thread. Thanks.

 

Cool. I don't care if you like what I've said, or not. Nor if you like me, or not.

The thread was all arguments constantly, and not from me only.

What I said about it stands. Don't like it? Good! :love2:

Go practice reading more than typing. I like you much better that way.

Your post was needless and foolish.

Go figure.

Ahhh. Another of Lukes friends who turns a blind eye to his rants.

I remember well now, as he has sent me pm's to go rebuke one he is arguing with. To go, you know, "gang up on them."

More foolishness from that clan.

By the way, my posts weren't against Luke, but for others who get tired of his nonsense on this thread, like Don, and Old Union Brother, among others tired of him slamming those who disagree with him. :thumbsup:

 

I dont agree that he did anything wrong, but you obviously do so you take your own advise.:thumbs:

 

I have not received a pm from Luke...sorry to disappoint you. Just stating what I have observed. Sorry to offend you by continuing to type :type: but you'll get over it. :thumbsup:

 

EWF -- From other threads, I can see where you don't see where Luke did anything wrong with regard to IFBers; but you don't see anything wrong with what he said about "redneck worship"?
