Critique your "own camp"

I strongly prefer the traditonal texts.

Let me see...perhaps I should be more open to a totally eclectic posistion which would use all of the best manuscripts.

 

An "invitation" to participate in disuntiy? No thanks, God thinks it more pleasant that brtethren dwell together in untiy. And maybe you should respect the Word of God considering unity?

 

Baptists cannot either ...

God Bless

Yeah they can too!! Many liberals amongst the ranks as we speak!! Not here though!!!

 

POR has kind of proven my earlier point about we KJV'ers losing credibility because of lousy attitudes.

 

Oh, but we do Roger, and our camp is the best one here.

 

Sadly that kind of thing all too often illustrates the weakness of human character.

I know a Presbyterian who believes in believers baptism, but because he is Presbyterian, folks just accuse him of being Pedo-baptistic.

As with POR's attitude, folks see his responses and assume ALL we who hold to the KJVo are alike. Some will even point to a feller in Florida and say we are all like him. Not everyone does this. But the few who do, make it very hard for others to avoid it.

Now wait a minute, Pastor Greg! Folks in the KJVO camp are not the only ones with lousy attitudes. At times a lousy attitude is displayed by many of us non-KJVO folks, too! It sure wouldn't hurt if more of us would adopt a "live and let live" attitude! After all, most of us on the BB claim to be Christians! So why not display a little more Christian love and understanding?

 

Don't despair Doc... I love you brother.

 

You are in a similar situation to that of the Anabaptists (Amish, Mennonite, Church of the Brethren). As I recall, they were persecuted by both Catholics and Protestants!!

I really got a chuckle out of your comments. I hope that you are doing well,

Those statements could apply to me, but I haven't had anyone call me "KJV-only."

Ya' think it could work?

I sure would like to think so. I hate to be cynical, but I really don't hold much hope for it. We Baptists (in general) love to chew up our own. Just read a few different posts in most of the other forums. It seems that the only thing joining Baptists (at least on this BB) is the desire to prove the notion, "I am right and I will show you all I am right or you will know what for!!!"

"Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen."

Jim </font>[/QUOTE]We are told "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise" (Luke 6:31 KJV). But so often we mutate Jesus' own instructions into "Do to others what you fear they will do to you before they get a chance." Sad, isn't it? Jim, I'm not pointing a finger at you or at anyone else on the BB forums. I know I have been guilty of this very thing at times, and I know Jesus isn't at all happy when I do such things!

 

Well said!!
