Tired as in tired of hearing so called Apostolics praise the TBN crowd for their wonderful spirit while over looking their perverted life styles.

Yeah it makes my Tired Hurt.

Boy, those are the extremes and not the norm.

So the point you are making is?

That pastor/s are not full of divine interpretation of the scriptures. Why should I follow weak doctrines/standards when they themselves don't truly, truly, know why they believe it or if it's accurate?

Something about hypocrites.

Do you think the cons here are hypocrites? If you know that they indeed preach against watching TV and then watch it behind closed doors or in motels then by all means go ahead and give them a tongue lashing!

Speaking of being tired.

You know what else makes me tired?

Dingbats

Dingbats (that's what my Dad called them ) that never were Home Mission pastors, never pastored a church, never evangelized a day in their life, never counseled a distraught saint, never drove a hundred miles in bad weather to visit a dying saint in a hospital, never stood in the pulpit and try to feed peoples soul, never canceled a vacation (looking in the eyes of his disappointed children) because a saint has a tragedy and needed their pastor close by, never researched a subject and preached a sermon on that subject in their life, never had to tell a wife that her husband was killed in an accident, never walked into a business and had the manager dress him down about a lowlife bill beating church member, never had to sit a man down and tell him his wife has been committing adultery with his best friend, never had to listen to disgruntled folks that said they were leaving the church and yet those same dingbats THINK they can sit in judgment on any and all preachers.

You don't have a clue, but one day real soon you will.

Far too often IMO, when we get into matters of doctrine, and other areas of eternal consequence, the insults often become very personal.


As for me........I have better things to do, than to be insulted by someone who wishes to erode everything I hold dear. Can I have a discussion of the subject matter? Of course! Am I willing to debate issues? As long as the debate is on the issues, and not an attempt to demean one another! Can/do I love those of an opposing view? Most certainly!

Very well said.

If a poster can not use reason to establish his/her view point; name calling, insults, and improper character portrayals of the opposition will not win the day and will only hurt the offenders cause.

Tired as in tired of so called Apostolics bashing a conservative pastor in a New York second, but take up for those hell-bound church hoppers and reprobates. Although, bashing a liberal pastor is fair game!

Tired as in tired of hearing so called Apostolics praise the TBN crowd for their wonderful spirit while over looking their perverted life styles. Although, it is OK to defend the perverted life styles of conservative Apostolics.

Yeah it makes my Tired Hurt.

Thanks PM, you made my point.
