I’ll clarify,

I like to read this site because there are many, many times when it seems like the posts and the responses are really great.

Butthen you guys get into theis spatting back and forth and seems like such a waste of time. It seems mean, vindictive, angry, hurtful, hurting, and not quite Christlike.

I think I read this in another thread by Rick F, We call ourselves Christians but we aren’t Christians.

I personally feel that this site, in it’s mission has set itself up to be the police and it’s no different than the ODM’s that this site fights against.

It’s like “vain arguements…”

that is precisely the problem I have with Washer, but i don’t think he creates that idol. I think others create the idol–and isn’t it hard to let the ego stay at bay? I have listened to exactly one of his sermons–some youth conference he promised he would never be invited back to again. It was a moving sermon, to be sure. So what. I’ve preached exactly the same sermon to a church full of widows. No one cares except those who need someone to cling to besides Jesus. “They call it riding the gravy-train…” (Pink Floyd)

I meant anyone who reads it and understands it and needs to do exactly what he is saying needs to be done. I had no one in particular in mind. I meant, me.

Q: What is the problem with the church? (Or blogosphere?)

A: I am.

They would certainly be the ‘right’ people

Example of gossip:

Chris Lyons is a closet Notre Dame fan.

No, that would be an example of an outright lie.

“Chris Lyons once broke up with a girl for being a Notre Dame fan (among other things)” would be 24-year-old gossip…

How can the give of prophecy end… blockquote>

Should be gift of prophecy. but you guys probably figured that one out already.

Man as I read through it that “be Paul Washer” jumped out… Are they creating the perfect CHristian idol in their own image and it seems to look like PW?

I agree, why not strive to be like Jesus and learn to love him and learn all you can about Him… Spend time with Jesus not just the bible and Paul Washer…

And I will add… since a good majority of these people think prophecy ended with the bible being published… why are they now trotting out PW as a prophet… that is very confusing? How can the give of prophecy end… and yet all want to be prophets (don’t try to explain this some have and it is just as confusing and contradiction in their bible gymnastics to prove they are right)

I listened to PW once… you know that one sermon…. and really not much there… sorry… it was boring and I could have heard it at any Assembly of God… yep those Arminians… In fact I prefer A Tozer or Maj Ian Thomas if I want that type of sermon… and there will be some real substance…

PW is not bad, just not what I would call a “prophet” maybe an evangelist… or preacher… but not really a prophet.
