are you talking about people of other faiths or people that are sinners and do not claim any faith at all ?

If someone was to come here from a different faith this 'battle' would seem very contrived and weird.

you really think so?? they have issues they fight over Dave.

Communion and lesbianism? Infinitely more important issues.

These are "real" issues.

Advertisiting of TV is so trivial and minute.....yet some act like it is the destruction of the UPCI. Let me tell you what, destruction of the UPCI would be if the latter of what you talked about was accepted by the UPCI. At least there would be some reason for the "battle."

See Keith's post - that's where the destruction will come from.

If it wasn't Resolution 4 it would be something else, because these brethren have chosen a certain outlook, philosophy that determines their reaction to these isssues. Now that is the real battle, not the resolution.

As preachers we are always telling people that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spirits. How about these guys actually follow through and pick the right enemy and right battle.

And by the way my brother is not my enemy.
