Ahem, Free did not call the pastor dumb. Read again please.


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.......


I was a member and minister in the CoG for years, and though I am now in the CoGoP, I have a great respect for that organization, and have men who have been and are both friends and mentors there.

I did NOT take the comment the way you did, but it seemed more as a shock that this came from that particular organization as it was not seen as typical. In a later posting a statement from the CoG seemed to agree with this thought, stating that they do not agree with using a church for political commentary, and as far as they were aware the sign had been removed.

I think there was more respect in his statement than slander, it's just hard sometimes to read the full meaning in text like this.

That is something between God and that person. For me to say that person is not called by God would be wrong to do.

Really?
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

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


Because the other excitement died down and there was nothing else to do??

I'm also COGOP and I agree with your post. Sometimes it is hard to read exactly where that person coming from that is posting.

I agree that they should not use a church/church sign for political commentary. That is not what the church is for.

If my post came across wrong then I do apologized. From the thread title to some of the post it seems like it was going in the wrong direction. Sorry. :)

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........


Response: That's because we live in a world full of spineless people who would rather run from the truth than stand up for it.
What we need here is a good revival! lol

If someone were that easily offended and called themselves a believer, they a lot more serious issues than that post, I'll guarantee ya.

What I want to know is how come Kurt's post number has stayed at 13 through most or all of his posts on this thread.

Not that it matters....I just noticed when he made the comment about post numbers not mattering.

Can the post counter be turned off...just curious!

Response: You see, now don't tell anyone, after we were done with 911 we got bored. So then we hatched a plan to keep certain posters and pastors in their place by not allowing them to get above a level that would make them feel special. We didn't want anyone else in our 3000+ clique so we had to do something. The way it works is we randomly stall the post count, for certain posters, I'm sure you understand as we must preserve our own specialness.
