The World Doesn't Buy Your Explanations

[tv1a]

Topic came up at work about television. I mention the denomination our church belongs to doesn't allow television, but allows the internet. I attempted the Larry Booker explanation and was shot out of the water rather quickly by those pagans. Everyone person in that conversation agreed the internet is more dangerous than television. Not one of those heathen thought the anti-tv/pro-internet made sense.

Well, I guess that settles it.

[Coonskinner]

The world, by and large, doesn't buy the New Birth message either.

Your point?

[Nahum]

Why would you discuss something like that with rank sinners any way?

Duh.

Probably this shouldn't have even been said to them, because no one outside of Pentecostal circles would understand this type of logic. It only makes the Pentecostal church world seem foolish to outsiders.

Someone told me last night about a Pentecostal guy who wouldn't allow this gal to wear an "eternity" necklace, but he told her he would have it made into a pin for her. Ok, now coming from my background, I understand what he's saying. But think about how this sounds to a heathen. It's the same way when someone says they can't go to see a movie but they are waiting for it to come out on DVD. No logic here, but tradition makes it acceptable to those in Pentecostal churches. But outsiders.........they think these things are ridiculous and if you look at it from the other side, you see it that way too.

People are not dummies. The internet is a million times more harmful than television. The real problem that needs to be dealt with is the human heart...

Yeah. Wait till after they're saved, then spring all the extra requirements on 'em.

Amen, and those that get their hearts right will throw out their tv's and only come to AFF.

It seems that your statement would mean the "world" (since in the first post said internet was worse than TV) doesn't buy that TV is worse than the internet.

My question to you is this.....do you believe that the internet is worse than TV?
