Has AFF been FEMINIZED?

You, and others, show up with the message of grace and you're evil. Yeah, right.

The strange thing is that I don't see grace exhibited in what you and Dan write. You may preach the grace of God but you don't follow his example in your interactions with those you deride, belittle, and snub your nose at.

Would you like to see an example of grace? Check out Roger E. Olson's blog. He knows how to show grace to those he disagrees with.

His style and his content...but then that's my humble opinion...

Here's something I saw on Facebook today..."Any truth that cannot be tested by criticism (constructive or destructive) is no truth at all."

So when you say, "Destroyed the premise of the forum", are you accusing DA of destroying the forum?

Daniel used to be somewhat of a jerk, but even he has softened and matured. I use to smack him, but always loved him. People can speak the truth but still not get their message across because of their delivery. But in his defense there were those on the opposing viewpoint that had the same problem.

This is true...

Brutal thread.

AFF is not what it was. It used to be a place where people with diverse ideologies clashed.

No more.

AFF has one ideology. That ideology includes a venomous hatred for all things Oneness Pentecostal.

AFF is a church. A religious movement. A political action committee whose entire purpose is to tear down basic doctrinal truths like the Oneness of God, Holy Spirit baptism and the need for righteous living.

Hate your pastor? AFF is for you.

Hate being told no? AFF is for you?

Hate absolutes? AFF is for you?

Deny God exists? AFF is for you.

Mock tongue talkers? AFF is for you.

It IS revolting, and entirely sad. It wasn't always this way. The depth of blasphemy represented is staggering.

Obviously it has been quite a challenge for you having your strongholds challenged.

You're joking but, yes, I do.

However, the responsibility for the content of this site rests squarely upon the shoulders of ownership. Unfortunately, they believe tolerance and free speech is of greater value than Truth and souls.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that those who've been around longer than I (and there are not too many of those left anymore!) would tell you that the original premiss of our first forum which we descended from was just that - tolerance and free speech with civil debate. I don't think that just because we believe in tolerance and free speech it means that we don't care about Truth and souls. Sometimes those are yell the loudest about truth and their love for souls are really, in the end, only yelling because they want to be considered "right". They are not even willing to consider that sometimes others make good points as well.
