My Child wants to see a Disney Movie.

[RevGKG]

If any people of color or ethnic types ever wanted to attend our services, we would welcome them with open arms. However all of our services are in English.
Contant prayer is necessary and important in order to keep the lines of communication open with Jesus. It shows humility and that there is always room for improvement in the eyes of the Lord. It is a very narrow path to Heaven and takes constant vigilance to insure that you stay on that path.

So you are saying we can work to earn our salvation.

 

[saturneptune]

Folks, I think we have been lead down the primrose path for 141 posts. When you have to say over and over again to a self proclaimed Baptist pastor that salvation is faith in the Lord Jesus and his finished work on the cross, and not our works, then something is wrong. When you have to say over and over again that salvation is eternal, and forever over and over again, something is really wrong. We are not talking about the usual debates on end times, creation, free will, and Bible versions, we are talking about pillars of our faith.

God has not called Dads to be authoritatians in their homes, but servant leaders. this is something I am learning to grow in.

Let us all learn to wash the feet of those God has made us in authority over, and learn to earn the respect of the same

RB, this is probably the smartest thing I've ever heard you say! :thumbs:

Pastor Ezequiel Davis[/B] ]
Each one of us has broken God's commandments. Prayer is both a command from God and privilege. It is His way for us to receive things, experience fullness of joy, and obtain relief from trouble, anxiety and care. Answered prayer is an unanswerable argument against unbelief and skepticism. It is the only way to have Holy Spirit power and it is the only way to be saved. Fellowship with God requires constant prayer and daily Bible reading. The Bible says that nobody is good enough to get into heaven. The way I see it is that we have two choices to make. Keep on pursuing Satan and the fleeting pleasures of sin; or,
humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. Further the kingdom of God with power from above. In due time, He will lift you up to places you never even knew existed.

I've heard this before. It came from the lips of a friend of mine who belongs to the United Pentecostol denom. They call it being "prayed up". I call it a damnable heresy that keeps people in fear and from having joy in their faith. I don't recall fear being a fruit of the Spirit.

Saddest part of this thread: my attempt at sarcasm actually went by the boards and was even taken seriously. It must be the medication I'm on

Do you ever shut up?

I was wondering how many read what you wrote and thought that about you.

Probably quite a few, but as long as posters like you and the originator of this thread with an agenda spread the kind of nonsense that you do, it will not go unanswered. It is very odd that a person whose entire agenda is a constant rant against the SBC would accuse anyone of writing about something so much people would wish they would shut up.

Tom,
I caught what you were saying, the sad part is that I knew he would take it serious. ( i sure wanted a flying car too)

 

[mcdirector]

Well, brother Davis has apparently gone the way of the banned dodo.

I did enjoy a good amount of the *ahem* discussion.

btw, we went to see disney movies with our kids growing up and one is a pastor now. I can still sing all the songs in all the parts to Mary Poppins.

So if you if you want to change people's minds then it is important to keep what you are doing? How many have you convinced? Suppose everyone of them are completely wrong. How many have you won by your attitude?

Seems that I recall reading Gal. 6:1 which is done by one who is spiritual. Do you qualify as one who is spiritual?

 

[PilgrimPastor]

All I can say is that I am glad that I don't go to your church.

WOW... Just a suggestion, perhaps try exposition of a text next time instead of drifting well beyond observation into radical speculation... WOW... guess our annual tickets to Disney are basically one way tickets to damnation...

Pilgrim, if you are Congregational attending a Congregational Church as your profile indicates then you should not be posting in the Baptist Only sections of the board.
Please post in the appropriate sections of the board.

Thanks.

I am not sure what your definition of spiritual is, but if you have ever bothered to read the book of Romans between your SBC rants, none of us are righteous. Everyone is sinful.

To answer your first paragraph, it depends on what you want to change their mind about. Have I ever changed anyone's mind about a relationship with the Lord? Not without the work of the Holy Spirit. I have been on plenty of visitations. Whether it produced fruit or not, I have no idea. Time will tell. That is about the only thing I would want to change someone's mind about.

Other issues such as Bible versions and end times, I will state my view and let it be. I would say there is very little chance of changing anyone's mind about issues such as these.

As far as my attitude towards this poster, it probably is not the best example. However, if you have noticed as of late, if you have managed to look beyone the "I hate the SBC circle," you will notice that new posters have been rampant in their confrontational posts from post one. There is a big difference in those wanting to debate, and those wanting to throw fire bombs.

Tom, it wasn't quite the saddest part, I don't think. I did catch it and almost said something about it, but figured the "pastor" wouldn't have understood what I was saying. Frankly, he wouldn't have cared either.

 

[Zenas]

Back to the OP, I saw Toy Story 3 last night and can't believe it has a G rating. This is a good movie but it is too violent and too intense for young children. It ought to have a PG or maybe even an R rating.

 

[Thinkingstuff]

I see the OP as a resurgence of legalism. Its just that instead of food offered to idols we now have Disney.

1Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge.[a] Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. 3But the man who loves God is known by God.
4So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but one. 5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"), 6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

7But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, won't he be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols? 11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall.

I think this verse applies to the OP his conscience is weak. And we who know better should understand that for this man most everything is sin. And so for him it is. God will teach him and we should take care not to make him stumble. Yet it is his legalistic slant that causes such views.

Perhaps I do not understand. .....

Is it because you are a liberal!! :laugh::smilewinkgrin:
I think with this thread even someone called Rev Mitchell a liberal :1_grouphug:

Your Right There! Being a DAVIS myself I am wondering if this guy is from a Wesleyan or Anglican background. Originally the Davis people from Wales splintered off into many non-conformist churches. My own people went with Whitefield & became Calvinist Methodists, Baptists & Congregationalists. The point is that its entirely possible that this individual could really have the sentiments of the Arminian movement.

Wasnt the Sound Of Music a Disney Picture?

Sorry this went WAAAAY past the 10-page rule. Thought the trolling would be ignored (as I opted to ignore the thread).

Closed.
