Now, it's your turn!

Ok, you guys have fought us and tried to back us into a corner regarding the reason as to why we don't watch TV, and our conviction against it. You always want to know WHY we don't watch it, WHY we don't have one, SCRIPTURE as to why we do... So now, I want to know, WHY? Why do you have one? Where is the scripture that says you can? Where is the foundation for your argument saying that you should be able to watch it?

HAVE FUN!

Who is "you guys"? And, where are the threads inquiring as to why you don't have a TV?

Or is this just a ploy to start an argument?

The only discussion I've seen on this forum concerning television is how ludicrous it is that some folks will put you in hell for having a television in your home, but those same people surf the internet regularly!

Mat 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell a vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

The son of man has risen, so it's TVs for everyone!

Whoo hoo, it's revelation, Brother!

That makes about as much sense as some preachers I know who preach against men wearing shorts, and use this scripture:

Psalm 147:10
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

I have a TV because having a TV amuses me. To my knowledge there is no scripture either for OR against TV. However, even if there were, it wouldn't make a lick of difference, as I believe most scripture to be written by men, and must be viewed through the filters of culture, history, etc.

If you would read the thread like, Ventura camp meeting, Tulsa Time... So on and so forth. And if you aren't included in "you guys" then don't respond. I don't believe in surfing the web, so who are "those same people?"

There are many, my friend. If you aren't included in "those same people", don't respond!

Ok, I'll step out of this thread now, just wanted to clarify!

Oh, one quick question, besides AFF, what do you use the internet for?
