POA posts Christmas Program online---Gotta See!

Seems I recall that 500 were his disciples on the Mount of Olives at His ascension and then 3000 were added to the church on the day of Pentecost.

And Jesus did teach with what judgment you judge, expected to be judged the same.

Have you been to POA? Do you know what discipleship is taught and carried out there? You have no real idea, except one of a distorted view through the eyes of judgmental and prejudicial vision, of what goes on there. I wonder if Jesus would approve of maligning a whole congregation because of a miss perception of reality.

If you find POA to be so devoid of righteousness, then how much are you praying for those folks?

And also the new testament says that if you call someone a fool you are in danger, not if you are a fool.

I like POA for the most part and love the Manguns, I just really didn't like the production. .....At all.

I've seen awesome/ anointed interpretive dance and then I've seen what was done here.

It isn't a POA original anyway, folks. It's from Willow Creek.

Hey, I did like the baby doll they used though. It had two eyes.

Classy.

You know not of what you speak...

I am more than willing to be judged by the standard I speak of!

How do you know I haven't been there or know the people? How do you know I have no idea about what I speak. Isn't it true that you have no real idea about me except a distorted view through the eyes of judgmental and prejudicial vision? The very thing you are accusing me of?

Did I say they are "devoid of righteousness?" If you are going to take me to task, at least don't put words in my mouth. I said the play was carnal, fleshly, and meaningless, not that the people are "devoid of righteousness." Good grief!

I am referring to Matthew 7:26
