The thou...Chris<BR/><BR/>I cringed when I read your comment. The thought that this is far more prevalent than we realize is a sobering truth. <BR/><BR/>My issue is that this is between an associate pastor at Bellevue and his own son under the leadership of Adrian Rogers. The spiritual implications of this are greater than just fodder for an argument against Arminianism.<BR/><BR/>Chris, I deeply cherish your comments even though we disagree.<BR/><BR/>Just to be clear. Adrian Rogers would never employ a sinner nor a pedophile, intentionally. I have always said that I am critiquing his theology and methodology.<BR/><BR/>You said: What is required *now* is told to me and to others by God, and not by you. That is precisely my point in this post.<BR/>We have to listen to the Holy Spirit and not man; Rogers, Calvin or me!<BR/><BR/>Agree or disagree keep commenting, you are welcome.<BR/><BR/>God bless<BR/>CharlesWatchingHISstoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339668990091164802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009006369173381174.post-28058879247352017062009-02-23T01:02:00.000-06:002009-02-23T01:02:00.000-06:00I can't believe that I am responding again, but I ...I can't believe that I am responding again, but I think that I must.<BR/><BR/>I am not responding either emotionally or in a knee-jerk reaction. On the contrary, I read through the post three times before I responded at all. Then I debated whether or not this was worth a response. Now I have prayed about whether a second response is warrented.<BR/><BR/>I can think of evils that cause more pain than sodomy (and I say that as a victim of such a crime at the hands of family, though not immediate family). Every day thousands are killed by genocide and the world does nothing to help the orphans who are left behind. Every day thousands wake in the morning and fall asleep at night with their belly empty as the world looks on praying that someone will feed them. We wonder why many of them don't believe in the power of prayer?! It is no wonder given how their prayers to be fed have fallen on the deaf ears of a population who tell them "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed."<BR/><BR/>You can be honest in your post all that you desire, that does not make you right to advocate some of the things that you are advocating. There is a time to be still. But there is a time for action. What is required *now* is told to me and to others by God, and not by you. <BR/><BR/>I cannot say whether the Spirit prompted men to stay seated as Rogers called them to the altar. I cannot say whether the Spirit has prompted you to stay seated now. But for you to counsel the WORLD to stay seated so that Calvinism will prevail is ludicrus. If that is a correct understanding of your position, that makes you a hyper-Calvinist of the worst sort.<BR/><BR/>You can say that because of Adrian Rogers, Arminianism is proven false. Because he allowed a sinner to serve on his staff, I guess it must be so *rolls eyes*. But you must give me this: Arminius never had a man publically executed and sent to Hell for not agreeing with him. That honor would belong to Calvin. Does that prove Calvinism false, or are there followers of all brands who can use their theology for their own ends and not the ends of God?Chris Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11223315390654119564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009006369173381174.post-38444322218849076052009-02-22T22:30:00.000-06:002009-02-22T22:30:00.000-06:00correction - knee-jerk reactioncorrection - knee-jerk reactionWatchingHISstoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339668990091164802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009006369173381174.post-45479990287012003732009-02-22T22:28:00.000-06:002009-02-22T22:28:00.000-06:00Chrisso you know of an evil greater than sodomizin...Chris<BR/>so you know of an evil greater than sodomizing ones own son?<BR/><BR/>I am honest in my post and you have not given it serious thought.<BR/>You have reacted emotionally, it is call knee reaction.WatchingHISstoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339668990091164802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009006369173381174.post-27235583831012335292009-02-22T21:37:00.000-06:002009-02-22T21:37:00.000-06:00I don't know why one would have to be brave to com...I don't know why one would have to be brave to comment, just stupid enough to feed your vendeta. I happen to be stupid...<BR/><BR/>1) Not everything wrong in the world is because of BBC. There are far more sins occuring every day that result in far more and greater evils.<BR/><BR/>2) You are correct that busyness for the sake of busyness would be wrong. However, to be busy about following the Spirit of God would be entirely different. To be busy "going therefore" and "doing unto the least of these" as the Father bids would not be busybodiness.<BR/><BR/>3) Your list of "Say No's" is disheartening. Why should I say no to anyone who is being led by God to form a choir that sings His praises? Others can make a joyful noise right along with them. Why would I say no to Jesus prayer for His body? Why would I say no to allowing those who have been given the spiritual gift of teaching to practice the Holy Spirit's work in them? <BR/><BR/>You make no sense. Unless, of course, you just want a bunch of people who will sit and stare at you dumbly while you fill their heads with nonsense saying that you are inspired by the spirit to be the only one who isn't apathetic in church life. My honest prayer is that this post is thoroughly sarcastic. But it is too much like some of your other posts to hope that too greatly.Chris Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11223315390654119564noreply@blogger.com
