Can I vent?

This discussion has taken an idiotic turn.

 

Wow!! Aaron can be funny! I actually got a chuckle. So far, men can't have long hair, we can only use the KJV, ccm is forbidden, and women can't swish their hips if and when they are allowed to clap. Somewhere there's a moral in this thread.

 

So you admit to being tempted?

 

I thought dispensationalism was considered fundamentalist.

Are you confessing to an addiction to pornography and such? You are either confessing to an addiction or sliming me. I trust it is the former! Regardless it is indicative of a very sick mind. I presented Scripture as the basis for my viewpoint. What is the basis for yours?

 

I want to why the term "fundamental" ever got such a bad rap? I consider myself a fundamental Christian and I'll assume many others in here do also. Fundamental just means we base our faith on the essentials within the word of God.

 

Unfortunately there are some "Funnymentalists" amongst us.

 

I agree.

The term fundamentalist was applied as a smear to certain Christian groups by the liberal media to associate them with radical groups in other religions who were also called fundamentalists; for example the Islamic terrorists! Unfortunately certain people on this Forum have elected to call some of us fundamentalists who disagree with changing the service to worship of God into a rock concert.

 

Can I use this as a quote from you in my signature line?

 

If people are going to dump on someone they should have the courage to identify the dumpee. sag38 did though his post was despicable!

 

I'm finding it harder to be so serious with the Santa hat on my Moses.

Though my use of the term "sensual" meant "natural," as in "the natural man," I'm defending the Old man here. Much of the worship in Charismatic circles is sexual at its core.

 

RE:Hair length...

I haven't read all the posts but did anyone mention Samson?

Look what happen to him when he got a haircut.

The term 'Fundamentalist' as applied to those who believe Biblical fundamentals pre-dates the usage of 'Fundamentalist' applied to terrorists and radical groups if I am not mistaken.

 

I'd be honored- I think.:smilewinkgrin:

 

You may be correct. However, the term has been resurrected in recent years by the liberal media to dump on certain Christian groups. It appears, as I noted earlier, that the same tactic is being employed on this "Christian" Forum!

I believe Samson was a Nazarite!

Judges 13:5. For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

Jesus Christ was not a Nazarite and the Apostle Paul states:

1 Corinthians 11:14. Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

 

Come on OldRegular, you are the one mentioning women swishing their hips. I was simply pointing out that if that is a problem for you there is help. However, it was tongue and cheek. I sorry if my humor offended you. But, I will have to admit that I've never associated women swishing their hips with clapping in church. I was simply trying to show the weak nature of your argument. Your scripture had no real application to your argument of associating clapping with swishing. So, is it ok for the men to clap to the music so long as they don't swish their hips and tempt the women?

 

OR was describing a typical Pentecostal service, where the music is driving and everyone is standing, and if not outright dancing, they're swaying and moving their hips.

If you haven't noticed the women, you're either not a 100% red-blooded male or you've never been to the kind of service to which he alluded.

 

Thanks for stating what I was thinking all along. If you are not tempted or thoughts go through your mind with those kind of body moves of the opposite gender (it does not matter if it is church or a night club), then something is not right upstairs if you are a male, which means, we constantly have to guard against that.

To me, if that does not bother someone, well, maybe they have the mindset of a group we are really not suppose to talk about on this board.

 

Man, you guys are carrying these swishes a lot futher than I would have imagined. I've never seen the sensual stuff that you are alluding too going on in any worship service that I've been in. If it was I'd have to leave just like I had to change SS classes one time because a woman wore dresses that were cut way to short up top and below.
