No I don't. What I said was "I think it is interesting", that's all. Personally I have been observing how the different orgs are handling the issues of hollywood, tv and etc.
With all the different mediums merging and melting together we are going to see men really begin to preach principles instead of just preaching a generic message against "the old one eyed devil".
Please don't read any more into my comment than what was there.
Even to the WPF I am probably an ultracon. Yet I see that in the future we are going to have to really be able to define the boundaries or figure out what to do.

Ok im from Tulsa Oklahoma.I moved here bacause my parents moved here for job related reasons and then my mother had heart surgery and I felt the need to be with her.The people here in Oklahoma are very stand offish and clickish and the road rage is at a all time high here.It is very hard to make friends here and these people need prayer.I know I sound very carnel because im saying all this but all the people ive ran into who transplanted here have felt the same way and wanted to move so when every one noticed the lack of smiles in the picture I just had to open my big mouth.Sorry this place has a very negative energy.
I think we should be careful when naming God called men by name - The bible still tells us "Touch not mine annointed and do my prophets no harm" regardless of how you feel about the split they are still God called and ordained to be leaders and deserve our respect.
I think we should be careful in how we apply this "elastic clause" of the bible. (The US congress uses the "necessary and proper" clause of the Constitution to write hundreds of thousands of pages of laws and regualtions that steal freedoms from the people.) The oringinal Bible text is referring to heathens and surrounding nations beating up on God's people and his leadership. Unfortunately, this is used by many unscrupulous men to give them a free pass on accountibility.
They do anything they like, then run for "base", screaming, "You can't touch me, I'm untouchable." This kind of reasoning is dangerous. Perhaps some of these men would be well served to read I Peter 5:3, where we, as ministers, are all gravely admonished to not think of ourselves as "lords over God's heritage." Rather we are to be examples to the flock.
Imagine the chaos if our members split off and fought as much as our ministerial fellowships do. Our churches would be forever weak and anemic. The whole world lieth in wickedness. I am now more concerned in fighting the real enemy instead of my brothers and sisters.

Thanks. It's amazing how uncommon common sense has become these days. We must all walk carefully in these turbulent times, constantly checking our scriptural mandate to reconcile as much of the world to Christ as possible, without becoming overrun with ungodliness. It is said that the best defence is a good offence.
I often wondered if we focused as much on attacking spiritual wickedness in high places as eradicating it in low places, if our success would overrun Hell's Gates. I would hope Christ's church is not more afraid of the world than the Satan is afraid of us.
