Tina is my friend...
I wonder about people that all their friends look exactly alike...I have many friends. We don´t have to look like twins to be friends! lol...
I do not dress or live like my blood sisters but they are my friends and the first ones I would call if I needed help with something they could help me with.
My pastor is my friend. Been in the same church and same pastor for over 50 years...

Seems like passive aggression to be labeled like that

Prax? Whats your definition of a liberal?

I know many UC churches..and they do not preach one of those standards. We need to be careful before we lump them ALL together.

Please dear ones if perhaps I am judgmental please warn me...for with what judgment I judge I will be judged...I am afraid I will need a lot of mercy on that day...

Sis Alvear, that is the key.
Friends do not tear other friends up.

And we aren't even talking about Brothers in the Lord yet either.

Friends do not resort to name calling & silly childish behavior.
My six year old behaves more maturely than some on this forum.

That says something.

so true, Brother Ron. I don´t know why people want to kill other people...

I have a friend her uncle was a serial killer...I often wonder if in another realm if we have spiritual serial killers...

Someone that rejects solid bible principles like saying it's ok to fornicate as long as you are in a monogamous relationship. Or saying being a homosexual is ok etc etc. Someone that is dead set against sin and preaching repentance does not seem liberal to me. You can say "someone is liberal when it comes to standards" and that might be a correct use of the word, but to tag someone as a liberal just because they disagree with standards ends up being misleading to me when you consider that liberal Christianity in general is not about standards.

Definitions of words are hard to convey in this forum sometimes. I see where your coming from.

I am considered radical ultra conservative most any group. My Pastor is on the general council of the WPF.

The only Church I would go to in Bakersfield CA, is Ike Terry's old Church.

Every now and then, someone will direct me to a thread and I may or may not come by to check it out.

Someone told me that my conservative thinking would "fit better" else where so I took the advice.

I wonder how many other conservatives got the same advice?

Same here.

What time I have I go to CAF and justpreachers. If there is a discussion about a thread here I will check it out and on occasion just check in and see whats being discussed.
