And yet, you, a member, have admitted that you have the occasional sip. So is "cannot" too strong a word, or have you given up the Mike's? Let me re-frame the question: does this youth pastor seem to have any problems with these secondary issues?

I personally have more fear of Trump being like Hitler than Clinton or Sanders. But I'm not voting for any of those. Haven't made up my mind on Cruz yet.

You do realize that this statement *really* begs the question of why you felt it necessary to bring up those other things you don't like about your church? Best to just think about that, and let this thread die.

To clarify: the principle of tithing carried over into the N.T. The tithe was originally a mandate, and had come to be--like so many other laws--a measure of salvation. The N.T. teaches that it comes from our hearts; thus, the 10% isn't required; the amount should be from the heart. The...

Secondary practices, yes. Unscriptural? NO. Giving is discussed in Acts. The tithe itself is from the Old Testament--which, as we all agree, ALL scripture is profitable--and used as a guideline until a believer is mature enough to exercise their soul liberty on the matter. The principle...

Things in this thread only; but influenced by past postings. And since he makes the same descriptions, he hasn't changed his opinion about HIS church. Lambasted? No. Encourage you to look for a different church? Most likely. Do many people come on this board asking, "hey, my pastor believes...

If I'm mistaken, it'd be great if John made this clear, so I could apologize.

See post #7.

Thanks for the font color. Much appreciated.

I think you misunderstand. The man coming to be youth pastor is a good fit; John is not.

CTB - would you consider using a standard color font? I typically use a black background, and have trouble reading what you post.

Question: if you, as a pastor, found out one of your church members was posting such things about YOUR church, would you at least consider talking to that person?

Would you please try to be honest about this? You stated "it's sad he will have to conform...." and then listed several traits of IFB churches that are typically considered negative, applying them to YOUR church. How is that NOT derogatory?

So why are you on here being derogatory about the church of which you are a member? Remember, becoming a member was YOUR choice.

Not sure I understand your question, or why you're asking it. Do you, or would you, want him teaching YOUR children? How you answer that is how you vote.

Everything I've found says Timothy was beaten to death by a pagan mob. The first mistake John has made is that only one or two people here have tried to discourage him from street preaching; not "so many." Where he misunderstands this is that people have asked him about his "follow up," his...

From the basic description on Amazon and the back cover of "Gospel According to Jesus": "...He urges readers to understand that their conversion was more than a mere point in time, that, by definition, it includes a lifetime of obediently walking with Jesus as Lord." The argument can be made...
