Church apologizes to Darwin

I am offended that a young man was convinced...

To be offended means that a stumbling block has been cast before a... "little one"...a non christian or immature christian" . A stumbling block that will keep you from or turn you away from serving Christ....thus causing you to die and go to hell.

A mature Christian cannot be and would not allow himself to be "offended" or turned away from serving Christ.

I'm sure that a young man's testimony of being convicted to lay aside hindering weights, and correcting faults in his life by the preaching of God's Word and the prodding of The Holy Ghost will not cause YOU to cease from serving Christ or die and go to hell.

Since you claim to be a mature believer..... I must then assume that you are not actually offended, but simply expressing your displeasure at my inability or refusal to agree with your opinions.

If true offense has been caused...then please accept my sincerest apologies and I plead your forgiveness.

I sincerely and devoutly (no kidding here) do pray that all your children's lives are happy, healthy and blessed.




I edited to add my "smilies" and a missing "not"

Hi "R"! Congrats on your good news!

The kids say Hi!

However.....this thread may have to make it's apologies to Darwin! Ha!


Isn't there a rumor that Darwin became a Christian near the end of his life or on his deathbed and denounced his own evolutionary teachings??

Or is that one of those thing that can be disproved on snopes.com???

Thrown away 1 full box of secular music cd's 5. Deleted over 3000 secular songs from my computer (at least $4000 worth)

I did that once... taught me a good lesson and took me years to rebuild my collection.

Pretty much a rumor

I googled the question "Did Darwin become a Christian?" and found an interesting site that gives both sides of the story.

Only God truly knows.

Sorry a father of 6 finds this so offensive.

You were the one that dropped the word offensive.

She, Race Runner, is saying that the church of England was the first denomination to accept folks in 2nd marriages. Where that info comes from I don't know; maybe it is true. Her point is that here all these centuries later they are saying Darwin was not so bad. Accepting divorce and remarriage equals apologizing to Darwin. So she is implying that CoGoP will eventually follow suit since the slope is slippery.

Point Made

The other stuff

Then you would suspect wrong.

Why Shellie! Why in the world would YOU (of all people) think that a woman who knows and stands for what she believes in would need or want to wear THE pants in the family???

Can't women be strong leaders AND have husbands who are heads of their households???

Of course they can! Haven't you ever read Proverbs???

That fine role model of strong, smart and industrious femininity is well documented. (and causes the common woman much despair. ) I never took you to be a feminist

I wonder DaJudge...

If I spoke to you on our forum....

The same way you speak to me on this forum...

Would you handle it with as much humor as I have?

If I did such a thing...perhaps you would be calling the mods on our forum to intervene on your behalf.......because you know they would.

But that's okay...I don't require any intervention.

My humor as always is firmly intact.



You try to have a good day!

A mature Christian cannot be nor will allow themselves to be offended or turned away from serving Christ.

Didn't say a word. Just clapped my hands. For all you know, I was just clapping along to "When the Church of God Arises".
