Do you consider a fundamentalist, out of touch?

[Ferd]

The problem with a place like this is, things get written down... and can then be measured against other things that have been written down.... and they can all be varified quite easily....

It becomes quite burdensome for anyone trying to present something other than the simple truth.... Now Im not pointing fingers, just offering comentary from the cheep seats...

and you can consider that my fundimentalist perspective.

LOL! thank God I'm not a doctor!

I respect completely your disagreement with Serpent Seed.. I was once in your shoes... the very thought of it repulsed me as I thought it was almost pornographic to talk about... and preached against Serpent Seed publically.....

As you know I have changed my opinion.. thank God for America.. lol... anyhow since those times I am amazed how people get so upset by this doctrine when it is a completely non essential issue...

For example... I am with you if we are talking someones eternal soul,, their salvation... I am with you in being adamant... but if a person sees things different in the book of Revelations differently that I do... I am not gonna part fellowship or get upset about it..... and if someone like me sees the event sin Genesis different than you do.. does it really matter? Should it upset you as much as it does?

Help me understand.. why the anger and disgust with the subject? Honestly, if it does not pertain to salvation why get so upset about it... you guys don't get this upset of Trinitarianism, a doctrine that presents a false God for people to worship...... for the life of me.. I don't understand how the doctrine of "Original Sin or Serpent Seed" whichever you choose to call it is so upsetting for people... if you tell me you're a preterist or a post trib believer..... I am not going to get disgusted and furious... you are still my brother.. we both believe the same gospel of salvation....

Ok, sorry for my ramblings

Whether salvational or not, the serpent seed doctrine is a perversion of truth, in my opinion. That's why I am against it.

Look, have you ever known me to make a big deal over spelling and grammar before?

I understand we make errors. At least I know I do.

But to present yourself as super-educated, and then show a complete ignorance of the fundamental laws of grammar, is frustrating to me.

Is the command to preach the Gospel only for men?

Where are women instructed to teach the Gospel rather than preach the Gospel?

[Sister Alvear]

I would say fundamentalist means what we want it to mean in the light we see the Bible..

Goodness, I have got a bad headache...early this morning some Catholic people wanted me to try to talk their son into going to a rehab center...
I walked into the dirtiest place I have ever been in...spelled like crack and other drugs...drinking, smoking...the bathroom had excrement all over ...a tiny hungry dog with her puppies in one corner of the one room house...and saddest of all a little unnourished girl crying for food...( I cannot imagine a guy on drugs raising a tiny little girl I wonder what mother would even give her child to a guy like that)
Inside was a boy with glassed over eyes he was so stoned but the one we were came for was not there...
We waited and waited then drove the streets looking for him in vain….so I will try to go back another day this week…
I was glad I had 2 men with me, my son Michael and a young preacher…

Not exactly on the subject here...but anyway... will you folks say a prayer for this situation? Thanks.

Other than this one text used in isolation please share the Greek and Hebrew meaning of preaching ...

and how your definition of preaching fits to other contexts in which the verb "to preach" is used in Scripture.

Whats wrong with the Apostles understanding of what PREACH means? See why chase after other meanings.. when he made it clear what PREACHINg is

Hair grows from the roots ... think science.

There is a body of science that contradicts your belief
