I'm considered liberal and I know for sure I don't dispise them.

Well I do in the sense, of a strong feeling and belief of don't you get it.

By the way, dispise isn't as bad as judge.

How on earth have you missed that Mike. It's so obvious.

The details of why certain folks left AFF is none of my business,but I will miss Boom dearly as he is a special friend.They were times of discouragement in my life ,that Boom spoke some kind words to me in those times of trial.
I think alot of him.

we as posters supported them the least they could do is not just run off.

I think they are causing us to speculate

causing you to speculate, Marky hahahaha. As for me, I don't care who owns it, runs it, leaves it, trashes it or whatever. Its just a place for me to post, have fun, maybe learn some things, and meet people I would never have met anywhere else. too much speculation will give you premature baldnes( hmm, a bald Mark, interesting).

If I am doing things that a Con looks at as sin, then they cannot in good conscience open their arms and have true fellowship with me. They can be cordial, and polite, and even friendly. But they will not be able to accept me for a Christian, as I am a sinning in their eye's.

well, now I am not sure I agree totally with this.. because there are several people here that are far more liberal than I am... I have kids who live more liberal than I do.. I know they are saved and I will fellowship with anyone more liberal and have no problem calling them brother/sister... I live according to my convictions... I work out my own salvation and trust others to work theirs out as well. If it is far more liberal.. then God bless their liberty ... everyone should be sure in what they believe and be content in that decision. Romans 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

According to StMark, that makes me a liberal still...even though I live moderate/conserv... ain't nobody gonna confuse that I am one of them in the Walmart.

Falla- non combative and too nice for anyone to mess with.

AG- would be considered a moderate by the right

ForeverB- Liberal - honestly, she would be considered as such and she knows it as well
Esther- a moderate and non combative

Ferd- combative but a moderate

Liberal for UPC.... but still in UPC Mark... trust me, I still have many conservative views... just not so much on standards.

Well, that "don't you get it?" sentiment encapsulates it right there.

From what I've observed, liberals, particularly on forums like this, tend to think of themselves as being more "enlightened" than conservatives.

But frankly, I think some of us here are starting to overdo it with this "are- you-liberal/conservative/moderate" stuff.

C'mon TR ... this coming from WE HAVE THE TRUTH crowd ...

Where services and conferences become doctrinal pep rallies????

The Whole Gospel to the Whole World???

Exclusivity and elitism smacks of being "enlightened".

That's something we can agree on... I'm really tired of the whole thing, honestly.

Daniel.
Please.
Spare me.

At the end of the day, doesn't everyone believe they have the truth?
Is there anyone who says "we don't have the truth"?
Liberals believe they have the truth just as much as conservatives do. You, of all people should know that.
