Men's Fraternity

So can he put on his resume:

"Webdog, M.S., Baptist Board Theological Seminary"?



Just kidding to all involved .

 

Humor is difficult for you...it seems. :wavey:

 

I missed it. :laugh:

 

I have to laugh! If you got to Mr. ReformedBaptist's blog site he states the purpose for his blog-

"Welcome to the Oldshooters blog. This blog is dedicated to continually presenting Christ in the gaming community, not just on Oldshooters, but in the gaming community as a whole... The gaming community is filled with people in need of Christ. Oldshooters.com and this blog are dedicated to bringing the Gospel to people within the gaming community, particulary the Xbox Live community, and over the internet."

The irony!:laugh:

 

Mex, this post is rather offensive to me, but I can understand your confusion. Please visit www.oldshooters.com to learn what Oldshooters is. It is a gaming community, Xbox 360 to be precise, and it is a Christian gaming community. I started this community on the launch of Call of Duty 4 initially as a clean gaming environment. It drew a lot of people.

The blog you visited was initally used as the blog for the community. I wrote about gaming issues, subjects, et. I wasn't very active with it. I decided to change the blog to something I used through seminary, so I changed the name and learned last night how to change the URL.

So, if you could explain why you wrote what you wrote concerning the former Oldshooters blog, my gamining community, and me, and what the irony is it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if you are offended. I fail to see the difference in your stated purpose (at least at the beginning of your blog) and the stated purpose of the 'Men's Fraternity' insomuch as they relate to being "man centered".

Webdog stated my understanding succinctly.

 

Your comparing apples to oranges. Also, webdog completely misunderstood my initial impression of the Men's Fraternity thing. The focus of it seems to me to be men. The gaming community I started is just that...a gaming community that does seek to use that platform and the community site as an arena to preach the Gospel to the lost. So, if anything, the gaming community is an evangelistic tool as well as to give folks who have the hobby of gaming a place to game without the garbage that is found in the gaming world.

Basically, Oldshooters is a hobby I and others share. I don't think the Men's Fraternity is being presented as a hobby. It is being presented and marketed as a ministry to men in order to help men act as men.

I truly do hope the ministry of it is Christ-centered. I hope that many men are blessed in it and are conformed to the image of Christ through the ministry of the Word of God.

Oldshooters is not a ministry.

so why don't you just go ahead and check it out for yourself....and if you don't like it, fine. But at least you'll have a reason for not liking it.

 

I visited the website, read their goals, watched their promo video...what else should I do?

 

Your focus is the gaming community which is made up of...

Men (generally speaking).

I think you are the one with the fruit mix-up, but I'll leave it at that.

 

....nothing.

 

I would leave it alone too. It's a loosing battle. And the community is for men and women. My wife and I don't game as much anymore, but it was something we enjoyed alot.

But, no, the focus of the community is not men. lol It is gaming.
