Please forgive me, but your thread just shows everyone that nothing is going to change, especially, respect for one another. Love ya, Digging, but I'm just sayin'...

Well it is clear that those who supposedly left have only gone to another forum where they hash everything we talk about over here.
As I have stated before... debate... or depart.
I guess the only 2 options to their doing so would be that we all come around to their way of thinking (which includes living without questioning) or AFF finally dies and goes away.
If one is going to leave... leave. Don't spend your days lurking in here and then raking us over the coals in your little corners of the internet.
If you're going to talk about us... come on over here and let's discuss.
But... discussion isn't what is desired. Nor is open debate or respectful explanation or study. What we are seeing is not even a clash of conservative versus liberal. It's a clash between an old world where people people accepted explanations just because of who said it and a new day where we need to see it in the consistent application of the Word of God.
I was rebuked openly service after service for believing in post trib years ago. That used to be enough to make people line up. I requested open study between me and the pastor and was told I would get it but it was only followed by continual open rebuke over the pulpit.
That don't cut it anymore.
