Why is that?
Well, for one thing we have flesh that would rather go to the beach in a speedo than cover up for one.
What standards are you talking about?
Every standard is built on a principle out of God's word.

You know very well that several key conservative posters have left deliberately, not because they are too busy to post, but because they don't want to post here or participate here.
Their reasons are their own, but I wish that most of them hadn't made that decision because it has left the forum with a lack of balance, not that there aren't any conservatives or ultra-conservatives who post here, but that there simply aren't enough.

What, am I not conservative enough for you?

Nothing wrong with that.
My confession is that I post here in the hopes of being an equalizer.
Is that wrong of me?

Thanks for not taking your toys and running off! 
And I wish more intelligent conservatives would do the same. Not the ones who come on here sending everyone to hell, but the ones who know the scriptures and are willing to prove what they believe from the Bible.
Where are they?

If you read the first part (dont have to read the long story part) of my first post in this thread you'll see what I'm talking about.
And yes, I can believe that every standard was originally "built" or "extracted" from God's Word *in a sense*. Isn't that what all denominations preach about their doctrines? Are they right because they say these words?
