First of all, that no one, no matter how popular, should be exempt from criticism. Secondly, that criticism is not the same as division. Being an Acts 17:11 Berean REQUIRES that we be free to disagree. Most of the issues come down to what does the New Testament say that a local assembly should be, ...

Jon Courson

Jim, I was reading your update about Jon Courson and his sons. This will probably always be one of those issues we disagree on. But for the sake of discussion, I haven't understood exactly why you have a problem with the fact that his sons are also teaching. Aside from the from the Calvary chapel's ...

It is true that many Christian believe that the Pastor is untouchable to a large extent. I heard on guy telling my when they got on the subject of some comittee at their church that he doesn't believe in church boards. I asked him what he meant by that and he told me, "I just don't think its a ...

Thanks I couldn't remember those verses. It's not that my primary purpose is in writing to warn people of the churches as much as it's simply a journal of my thoughts on particular subjects. But, I've had some people mention to me that I should not be writing about particular churches and what they ...

Confronting Christians

Jim, I was thinking this past week as I head a pastor say that talking to anyone about someone else is sin. This came from a pastor who was talking about people who apparently have been talking to others about him but not to him directly. He said they make excuses like he's "unapproachable"...

Jim, I just tested this mod that puts a visual confirmation that must be entered correctly or guests cannot post. This is the same visual confirmation that is required when registering but only affects guest posting. Check out my discussion board to see how it works, try posting a new topic without ...

When you post an address like http://www.procinwarn.com it automatically makes it a clickable link which is what spammers like. They get paid by people clicking on links. I'm not sure, I tried to find out how to turn this off but couldn't. As for the picture thing, it is only required when opening a...

Jim, I'm not sure, I'll look into it if I have time, but you may want to see if there is a module or plug-in for phpbb that will make people type in those random letters and numbers from a picture before they can post. That stops all automated spam bots and try disabling links so that posting links ...

The Emerging Church

The link on your homepage from Roger Oakland, of http://understandthetimes.org/commentary/c46.shtml Understand the Time was very interesting. I love to point he made at the end of how it looks like the counterfeit religious system of the end times is being set up. On one hand I'm saddened to see so ...

Rob, First, although I see how your type of writing makes more sense in the context of that last post, I have discovered a few things about debate. First: You must define the terms which you are debating and must all agree on a source of truth, whether it be science or the bible. No true and proven ...

Rob, It is true that many people believe Jesus was just a good moral teacher or prophet but not God. They obviously haven't thought that through because common sense would show how dumb that really is. Jim was right that its never a wast of time witnessing to un-believers. I used to spend a lot of t...

Robert, First, what do you actually hope to accomplish in writing all this. You have copied the same stuff all over the Internet without really changing the wording much, only the length and detail. Is there any reason for posting this other than trying to prove your point? Second, you were a philos...

Its so hard for people to see that they are looking up to Christian celebrities because its so common and it such a subtle problem that most don't see anything wrong with what they are doing. The only way they will see when they are looking to others for answers rather than the Word of God is by spe...

I agree completely. But, rather than warning people to take his stories a just an allegory and to be careful not to support the occult; it seems as though Mary Ann Collins has gone too far and tried to convince people that C.S. Lewis was somehow not a true Christian and supported the occult. I don't...
