Angelic Conflict

Actually, my husband and I are members of a Reformed Baptist church and are still under the care of the church's eldership until we can become members elsewhere.

Apparantly it does.

What a joke.

That is a logical fallacy. Being a Baptist or a Presbyterian does not conflict with being a Christian. Being a Muslim does.

It is your posts that are bullying and ungracious in this thread. Everyone else, including Alex, has treated me very kindly as I attempt to explain our somewhat unique situation.

 

No, I'm just clearing Alex's name in this thread because I felt he was wrongfully accused.
No drama, I just don't like to see people maligned without cause if I can help it.

 

Why is it that if someone states anything matter-of-factly, it's construed as ungracious? I have not bullied you in the least. I backed a moderator's decision, and gave reasons why I believe he was correct in his assessment of your denominational status. This is a debate forum. I state things the way I see them, as I'm doing here. This is not done rudely, but straight forward. I'm not attacking anybody' character, etc. This is nothing but un-needed drama. If your situation is unique, PM a moderator and see what they say. To blatantly disregard rules is a violation, though.

 

I'd think then, that it is this church, the one in which you are a member, that would be the home church on your profile. A church that you attend temporarily due to your circumstances doesn't really seem like your home church.

 

Please stop the in-fighting and put this matter to rest.
A number of mistakes were made, mostly on my part.
First, when I looked at the profile, I saw "Presbyterian," but I did not happen to see Baptist in the other field. That was the first mistake. BTW, I often check profiles of various posters.
Secondly, when she made a clarification, I should have responded right away but I didn't. The fact is that I don't get on BB as much as I should right now.
Third we have many other posters who are Baptists but due to similar circumstances attend another church. Her situation is not uncommon.

Therefore, there is no reaoson why Isaiah40:28 cannot continue posting in Baptist forums. Now, please, continue with your "angelic" topic.

 

I can certainly change it.

 

Thank you!

 

The MOD Got it Right!

AMEN

I want to thank the Moderator of this board for making a gutsy stand in regard to this tacky issue. I have read with interest, this ongoing bickering, and saw it as sin. The kind of sin that comes from Baptists being to Judgmental and Arrogant as they hold their doctrinal teachings so tight, the hearts become rigid, and stone-cold!

I am an Ordained Southern Baptist Pastor, but currently attend a non-denominational church for the same reasons as Isaiah40:28. I make no apologies. The Baptist churches in my area are going easy on homosexuals coming into the congregation, and I refuse to worship where a known sin is being allowed to openly serve the congregation.

I visit Southern Baptist churches all over the area, I am just not making anyone church my home due to the homosexual thing and the in-fighting over the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.

I want to worship God in a place that is not up-in-arms- over theological issues. I hope this doesn't preclude me from posting. If it does, than I will leave that particular board, but, it doesn't mean I'll like it.

What say you?

Isa,

I have half the post completed. Today I am limited to casual posts though and cannot complete it yet. Forgive me. Our cat is very sick. She has cancerous tumors in her ear canals moving to her throat and she is troubled a great deal today, gagging and trembling from time to time. It was manageable until last night and so the concentration required right now isn't going to afforded to complete the OP for the thread until the TGiving weekend. But it will be complete and so forgive me please on the delay. We will have to put her down I believe this week.
Q

 

That is very sad.
And again, there's no rush.

 

What say I? I say you sound a little hypocritical after calling out another brother in the men's private forum for their perceived gluttony problem based on their avatar.

I'm glad DHK clarified this, too. I hope that these standards remain for everyone.

 

yOU mISSED THE mARK - wEBDOG

You really failed to see the reason behind my comments to that person. He was attacking my failure to stay the course when I fell into sexual sin as a pastor. I was just pointing out to him that he appeared to have a "log in his eye [over eating] while judging me"]. These is no room for any of us to come down on another for the past mistakes [repented from], especially when it is apparent that we are all guilty of sin. There is no difference between one sin over another. In the eyes of God, all sin is equal, and that is all I was pointing out to that brother's chastisement.

If you're going to point out my post to that brother, please tell it all. What you failed to note was that I publically apologized to that brother for offending him with my comments. I felt bad about judging him for having an eating problem without having the facts about his medical condition being caused from medicine he took. Still, this brother failed to see beyond his log filled eye, and I just pointed that out. I know he is someone you really feel close to, but, he was out-of-line and I had every right to tell him so, so "move on Webdog" that is yesterday's news :wavey: .

Shalom,

Pastor Paul :type:

 

the problem I have is with things being stated like...

I take offense to that, as I don't see debate as "sin" nor being judgmental, arrogant or stone cold.

There are rules. I was defending a moderator's decision, which was later reversed. I was hardly judgemental, arrogant, rigid or stone cold.

When I first came to the board, I was told the same thing because I didn't have the name "baptist" in my churches name. I had to type up a long detailed explanation, and add "recently voted in to the SBC" to continue posting in a baptist only section. It seems that things have relaxed a bit since then, and I was unaware they had.

 

**Post deleted **
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... When pigs fly.

 

Maybe you should pray for a set of wings. :laugh: :laugh:

 

No disrespect intended toward Npet but man.... That cracked me up :laugh: :laugh:

 

Hey Webdog Read This

:wavey: You seem to miss the point, a lot....I was saying that the sin was in the judgment pronounced on Isiah for not attending a Baptist church and using a Baptist only board. That was splitting hairs, and was bordering on sin. The sin is judgment and arrogance. This person was a Baptist, just unable to find a GOOD Baptist church. There are areas where good churches, of most denominations are hard to find. I felt it was wrong, and a sin, to banish Isaiah for not being a Baptist in the full sense of the word.

Maybe their presence in that other church could bring the theology of Calvin to a hungry people????:godisgood:

Love you brother, and don't want to get you angry and upset with me. I am just voicing my opinions like you, and as brothers we should be able to exist on this board with love in our heart for one another, right?

Pastor Paul :type:

 

Amen :thumbs:

I will still agree to disagree that the moderator's action should be deemed "sin". This board is privately owned, and the rules were only being pointed out that we all agree to when signing up.

 

There is a difference in sin according to Jesus Christ!

1Jo 5:16If any man see his brother sin a sin [which is] not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

1Jo 5:17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

To try and justify your sin by pointing out someone else may be sinning which they are not, is hypocritical. Also, is what almost all who have committed a sin, not associated with a child of God, run to to try and defend themselves. To apologize and then go on another forum and blast away is also hypocritical. I for one, believe that is what is wrong with our churches today, we are excusing sin, when the sin is not against us, but against God. I can't forgive sin and neither can you. It takes God to do that. Also, one should not apologize and say I believe everything you said brother, then go to another forum and say, just the opposite. To me that is bearing false witness.

I thought that was completely settled between two brothers by PM, but no, I come looking on the other threads and here you are blasting away. You should of said, Me and that brother settled this as brothers between us and that is over. No, you chose to keep it going. Talk about bordering on sin!

Seems to me if you were forgiven for what you said you did at your church, you should be among the most humble on this board and thankful, instead of being so judgemental. The first thread you made was "what happened to all our morality", after what you just did. Jeepers
