All other considerations aside... Folks....all other considerations or questions aside....there is, in my opinion, NOTHING good that can be said about tobacco use (smoke,dip,chew) at all. I smoked heavily for better than 25 years of my life and it was a habit that did me ABSOLUTELY no good...

Really??? If the Pastor was a "HER"...I'd be GONE immediately regardless of the smoking thing.....that is DEFINITELY NOT BIBLICAL. (1 Tim.3) Bro.Greg:saint:

Might Be Helpful If..... Squire...It might be helpful if someone could locate and POST Dr. Graham's interview and comments with Dr. Schuller verbatim. One must be measured by what they actually say. I just don't have time to do the research at the moment today. I know that there have been...

Thanks.... Bro.Oldtimer....thanks as usual for adding your usual "clarity" to the discussion. It is appreciated at least by me. Bro.Greg:saint:

Why Divert Attention.....? The topic of the OP was smoking....talk about other sins/preferences in another thread. This one was about the issue of smoking. Let's stay on-topic. Bro.Greg:saint:

Consider This.... I'm all for liberty under grace, but NOT for license. If you can smoke (I used to smoke heavily but God delivered me from it) and do it in front of a lost and dying world (not to mention in the constant presence of a Holy God) and do it to the glory of God then help...

On Dr. Graham... I've actually been avoiding this thread because I think Dr. Graham's ministry has at times been a confusing contrast over the years. I do believe he falls into the orb of the neo or new evangelicals that I believe have produced much compromise over the years up until the...

I'm not so sure... Heir...how do you define the word "heretic"? I will say up front that my personal "take" on heresy is ...anything that teaches any concept of salvation contrary to OR IN ADDITION TO "salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ". Doc Ruckman does teach...

Interesting.... I know his site wasn't new. He wasn't making any secret of the fact that it was apparently "round two" for it. I find your comment above rather ungenerous. He is a young man trying to do something that would be a blessing for like-minded believers. God never "called" experts...

I Just Have To Say..... Rippon...I just have to say how much I appreciate ALL YOU (and others here) DO to inspire confidence in the infallible, inerrant, preserved Word's of God here on the Baptist Board.:BangHead: I just don't know what we'd do without you.:tear: Bro.Greg:tonofbricks:

Amen Brother...Amen I try to be OBVIOUS about my reading material when I am in a waiting room....but I'm sure some of the unbelievers probably aren't comfortable with it. Bro.Greg:saint:

Gone Already Well...It looks like Cody's new site is already down and gone. There is already a Forbidden 403 server error coming up on it . I even called a friend of mine who got the same thing on his computer when he tried to access it as well. I'm sure that will make some here happy though...

No...but... Actually no...but I'd be willing to look it over. Where can I find one? By the way...to address the nit-pickers that may come along hereafter......when I recommend the KJV, I am talking about that in reference to english-speaking people only. As for equivalent translations in...

Cody...Trying to reach you Brother....email me at TrustingChrist54@aol.com or send me a PM here at the BB. I've been blocked from access to your new Forum by a 403 Forbidden error. Have you blocked me for some reason or is this some kind of computer glitch? I'd just like to know one way or the...

Only... Since you asked....The King James Bible...ONLY...(of course)..along with a good Websters Dictionary and a Strongs Concordance. As for the Bible, I'd recommend either the Old Scofield (Oxford edition) or maybe even better..."The DEFINED King James Bible" published by D.A.Waite at Bible...

Well...actually... So its to be expected that we tend to get into some interesting discussions here, as we are fulfilling the mandate of 'iron sharpening iron!" Well....actually....YES...Amen to that! We actually have a consensus!!! However...since we are sharpening the iron...

See?!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And THERE you have it...the Calvinists always show up! DFG...we can never control what the others are apt to say or do....only how we ourselves will act. Each of us have a unique opportunity to have an impact for the Lord here (as well...

Not At All.... GT.....I'm not suggesting anything other than the fact that we are all just rendering our OPINIONS of the subject matter. Opinions can be either "objective" or "subjective" things depending on the intent of the person offering them. Beyond the matter of this topic being...

Yes!!! Great Post Oldtimer!!! It is refreshing to know that there is at least one reasonable and objective person here (though I KNOW there are others) that GETS IT! Thank You. I respect you and your demeanor here. Bro.Greg:saint:

We SHOULD Exalt the Word...God does. Psalm 138 : 2 (KJV) 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. (emphasis mine) God sure thinks highly of His own Word. I believe I will too...
