Thanks for explaining what Ezekiel really meant when he wrote Scripture.
And to think I was foolish enough to think that God inspired him to write exactly what he meant.
I guess I should have checked with you first.
Shannon, sister...why don't you shut YOUR mouth? I never had a problem with you...I never listed ANYTHING that I had heard about the SBC, so I think you need to lay off sister. Now I see you didn't mean your encouragement so you can stick your "encouragement" where the sun don't shine!
"BTW, the next time your down in the dumps go find a Canadian Baptist Board and cry on their shoulders. Since us "American baptists are so mean spirited." Um...who's the one cryin...and uh...nice example of love there sister.
As for my country and homosexuality, what the heck does that have to do with anything? I didn't make the laws in my country and besides, I'm smart enough to know that governments are going to make Christianity illegal...even yours! And I don't know what you are talking about. My pastor has preached against homosexuality and he ain't in jail. Paul went to jail for preaching the gospel. Are you scared to?
By the way Shannon...I am not a hyper-Calvinist. I detest Calvinism...thank you very much. Maybe I'm having trouble deciding what to do cuz God may want me to be a preacher but I don't want to deal with 'people' like yourself.
:cool:
Icthus...I should apologize. But I won't. did you see the things she's said to me? You muyst have...they're right in your copy and paste quote there. You're right...I shouldn't repay evil for evil. I repent.
For the record...I went to my source. They told me what happened did not happen at the conference but at a hotel and it happened years ago.
FBC...I hope it will end too. I did not start it but I sure do defend myself very well when I have to. After all...I didn't see any of you fine people defending me.
Let's see...out of nowhere someone I had no problem with starts attacking me and says I should shut my mouth. Yet when I react, it's a problem? God...thank You that I am not saying what I am thinking here.
Just an fyi that final version of Bill C-250 from the 2nd Session, 37th Parliament that was passed on September 17, 2003 that added sexual orientation in the definition of identifiable groups that hate crimes can be commited against (this includes heterosexuals) included the following as an exception.
Hence the lack of hate crime arrests of pastors in Canada who preach against homosexuality from the bible. </font>[/QUOTE]Good job GoldDragon...somehow it's ok for some of these people to make wild, unfounded accusations lacking in any knowledge or common sense...but I can't make a vague statement about something I've heard. Such is life when yer dealin with the "self-righteous" side of the Church.
FBC...I could do that but I don't want to talk to them. did you uh...suggest that to ShannonL when she told me to shut my mouth? I looked and I don't see it.
:(
Besides...I was attacked in a public forum...I'll confront the person in a public forum. Next time...please refrain from only addressing me while letting the other person off the hook. God hates favouritism and so do I.
So far since I've come on this site I've had people attack me and tell me to shut my mouth for God knows WHAT reason...and I've had people call me a hell-bound heretic because I'm not a Calvinist. Something is wrong here.
GoldDragon, I hear ya. Finally someone recognizes that ShannonL was wrong too. Yeah I was wrong...I even said it in the message I wrote to report that whole thing. I was wrong...but I honestly don't think I was more wrong.
Thanks for the copy and paste advice. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are sincere. I did think someone else was sincere at one time but I was proven wrong. Thanks again.
I simply requested that you take this to a private conversation. I take this opportunity to ask Shannon to do the same thing since you won't.
So once again...I ask all of you, Will you please stop this and get back on the topic. I have already requested a moderator to close this topic because it has gotten out of hand. So now, I make my request public to "all" the moderators. Please close this topic!
