So what do you think of Philip's method of working with the Ethiopian?

Question: in street preaching, how many of those that made a profession of faith, when they were done, walked down the street and went back to their old ways? If you don't know, then you have no foundation to deride the methods of others.

Quaker, huh? Okay, I'll bite: what does it mean to walk in the light?

Come now, my friend; you simply misunderstood what the president meant: he didn't mean he would make accomodations and/or compromises; he meant he expected them to make accomodations and/or compromises. :tongue3:

Which arminians hold to a "none or all" philosophy? True arminians agree with calvinists that God takes the first step. Pelagians and semi-pelagians argue that man can come to God on his own.

Wow. This is the second time I've seen a calvinist say that arminians and pelagians are one and the same (the other one was evangelist). I ascribe to most, but not all, of Arminius' teachings; and I ascribe to most, but not all, of Calvin's teachings. I'm somewhere between Arminius and...

You're right. Your comment hit home, and I never actually saw you apologize for posting it; just removing it without comment. I saw your own words: "My opinion still stands." Then I saw you defending against being called racist without explaining that you consider any muslim by that particular...

Pretty sure I did. Believe I explained that; you know, the part where I wrote "in my neck of the woods, since the 1980's"? Weren't you the one that used a derogatory term towards others, then retracted it? Your sarcasm is duly noted. However, you'll note that I've always referred to his...

Quit getting your panties in a bunch. You made a derogatory remark that, at least in my neck of the woods since the 1980's, usually refers to people of middle eastern descent. You did right by deleting the comment. I haven't disagreed with anything else you said, just your racist comment. If you...

You're correct. Your original comment was racist and offensive; doesn't necessarily mean you are, but on message boards, all we have to go by is what people write, and out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. Again, thank you for removing it.

Because your opinion is racist and commits the error of over-generalization.

That would be the place; but the more important part being, they are all Americans until proven enemies of the state. Thank you for removing the reference. I was afraid that it also applied to those Iraqis and Afghans that I worked with in both countries, whose hands I was forced to put my...

Any muslims? Like the American ones who live in Dearborn, Michigan?

First, my post wasn't directed to you. I should have made it clear that I was addressing the opening post. Second, I'd like to know exactly what you mean by "sand monkeys."

Remember: John the Baptist didn't tell the soldiers to leave the military. He told them to stop abusing their authority.

Salty, thanks for the expansion and better clarification! TNID - AGREED. Where you're differentiating, however, is the part I bolded and underlined. You see, you recognize that churches are guilty of this; however, Zaac keeps talking about "the church." I think (hope?) we all understand...

Actually, it's a fallacy. There is no choice. We do both. Together. Look, my wife doesn't go to war with me. Sapper's wife doesn't go with him. They remain at home. Does that make them any less valuable to the effort? NO. They give us purpose for what we're doing, they keep the homefires...

Yep; or, alternatively, the clean water's there. It's just overwhelmed and indiscernible from all the sewage, making it harder to find. But to continue the analogy, it doesn't matter; it'll all get processed, and what little clean water is there will be separated, while the larger amount of muck...

Poor Zaac. Can't actually refute what I wrote, so has to resort to ad hominem. If he had actually read what I wrote with a modicum of understanding, he'd have realized that I encouraged the feet to go, the hands to serve, the mouth to preach and pray, the arms to hug and comfort, the back and...

See, here's the deal: Zaac is making the same error that Evangelist (up in the Baptists Only forums) makes. He isn't recognizing that there is a "body" of Christians; and that each part of the body has its special gifts, talents, and purpose. He's also forgetting that repentence is turning...
