Statement Regarding
Jonesville, South Carolina Church of God

The Church of God (Cleveland, TN) makes no endorsement in political campaigns, whether on the state, local, or federal level. We encourage our local congregations to follow a similar path. Any endorsement, direct or implied, made by a local church is regrettable and is not supported by Church of God. To our knowledge the sign has been removed. While we do support a government based upon Biblical principles and we encourage our members to participate in the political process based upon their personal convictions, the single goal and purpose of the Church of God is the furtherance of the ministry of the gospel.

Go figure...It's a Church of God pastor!

wow, there is a lot of hater for COG...... Also calling a Pastor that is called from God Dumb is walking on dangerous grounds.

Kurt,

I don't presume to speak for free but perhaps you should give a little benefit of the doubt seeing that this is your very first post. Perhaps, free could have meant "it's too close to home" or "it's one of ours".

Now, I don't know. Free could have been dissing the COG for all I know. It's just not a good thing to do as a first post in a forum.

AND, are all pastors "called of God"?

[Dr. Ron]

Hey Kurt,
Welcome to j2. Hope you find us all somewhat tame and sane......you may have to grade on the curve....

We welcome you and your comments...but as Shellie said, get to know us a little before the gunfight.

We are generally good natured and we do all love the Lord. I assure you.

These are good folks here......I know ......they let me stay.

Welcome and hang in.

They didn't want me to stay. I just wouldn't go away.

I mainly view this forum. Post count means nothing to me. I only posted what I did because people singled out a religion/denomination with a rude statement. I know if I was an COG member I would be offended of his comment and probably never view this forum again.

Plus coming against one of God chosen leader is not cool either. Regradless of his reason to put that on his church board we do not have the whole story and we all know the news do not print or tell the whole truth either. To start a thread calling a Pastor dumb without knowing the whole story from him is actually starting trouble and making the site look bad. Of course this is my opinion........

I'm not looking for a gunfight, just expressing my point

Ahem, Free did not call the pastor dumb. Read again please. I know Free and his comment was not intended as a put down, more akin to Shellie's comment as one of our own.

I know, that second sentence was in general. Free posted what I quoted saying "Go figure it was a COG pastor". Which if you really want to look at what he said he was agreeing with the title of the thread with his comment.......

[kurt73]

That is something between God and that person. For me to say that person is not called by God would be wrong to do. Think what Paul thought of Mark after he ran off from him because of the presecution they where seeing. Later on Paul asked for Mark and stated he was valueable to him. Just because someone fails or makes mistakes doesn't give a reason to question someone calling.

Sounds like both barrels to me.

[kurt73]

LOL, really no gunfight. I have nothing to prove on this forum.

[Gerald Creasy]

What I am wondering is why this topic explodes now when I posted about it days ago and no one bit.
