Rock:Do think Fox News is just going to give the programming to the SBC's Family. Money is changing hands. A Contract has been signed.
One thing I see is that BWA is a christian organization who is not, as I read it, very christian looking, not a very good witness if they support abortion and homosexuality.
Rock:I have never seen the BWA be supportive of abortion and Homosexuality. Where do you find this?
On the other hand Fox news makes no claim of christianity, therefore not a bad christian witness.
Rock: So it is OK to be in partnership with the Devil because the Devil does not claim to be a Christian. I see.
As I have said, many christians have programs on secular tv(would you say they have low standards becasue of it?), thus a 'partnership', then in that case I see no reason Famnet should not talk about the news and show clips from the current news.
Rock: There is no problem with Family net talking about the News. They are not doing that though. They are buying it from Foxnews.
You have associations with many secular companies, I don't see that you have a problem with being a christian and doing business with nonchristian companies.
Rock: Really, you are that familiar with how I disburse my resources?
In the long and short of it, it makes no diffrence the witness of non christians, it doesn't stop you from associations with them, but it does make a differnece when they claim to be christians and don't look much different from the world.
Rock: Precisely my point. When the SBC gets in bed with Fox, they don't look much different from the world.
Christianity makes the difference.
One is christian and the other isn't, one is a bad witness for Christ, they choose not to associate with those who support homosexuality and abortion.

Rock: Again, please show me the BWA statement in support of abortion and homosexuality.

Look, they have speakers who support it, and thats in itself support of it. This is not as you say an argument over that, but over Famnet showing news clips for discussion purposes only.
