Hey, Baptist Believer. Every time I've seen Barry Lynn on any cable news programs, on any issue, he takes the far left position.
Just a google of the web brought this up (not meaning to turn this into a homosexuality thread), which is one example:
-
-
If this judge gets away with this act, then the Mormon judges will start with the Joseph Smith statues, the Muslim judges will erect Mohammad with his Jihad instructions, the Buddhists in Calif... a Fat Buda, and the Catholic judge will section off the side of the building that has mold growing in the shape of the Virgin Mary.
(edited)
The upside I see to the various god shrines and drive-through temples will be that it will show more than just Christians founded and served to make this country great. That each one can have and worship the way he wants. That each one of us can respect other American's religious belief because no "one" god is being subjected to a place of establishment by any one government official.

[example of Mr. Lynn taking a position affirming homosexuality as a legitimate form of sexual expression snipped]
Has Mr. Lynn denied the deity of Christ or the incarnation?
Does he affirm Jesus as Lord?
Does he recognize the scriptures as authoritative (even if he interprets them differently than you or me)?
These are the questions that you need to ask if you are going to slander someone as being an infidel. -

Do you have any real evidence that he is not a person of faith? -

You are correct in that I feel I know where you stand but since you mentioned there were others I thought you might have a list.

And if anyone else doesn't know me and is wondering my position, I believe that homosexual acts are wrong, although the feelings or attraction to the same sex are part of the fallenness of humankind. Just as it is immoral for a heterosexually-oriented person to engage in sexual acts with another unless they are married, a homosexually-oriented person is immoral to engage in sexual acts outside of marriage. I believe that if someone has homosexual urges, they should refrain from marriage and practice celibacy.
I don't care to argue the subject today... I don't wish to start another thread on homosexuality. :rolleyes:

Well, Baptist Believer, once again Barry Lynn (on Donahue last night where the spirit of anti-Christ was alive & well), dug himself in. Sorry, he may call himself a Reverend, he may have a degree in theology, he may be ordained....no where on the Internet can I find any statement of what his doctrinal beliefs are or even a statement that he claims to be a born-again Christian. Strange. He's never pastored a church.
But I can tell you what his actions bespeak. He has worked actively for the ACLU before holding his present position. Every time the man speaks at any kind of public forum that I've ever seen, he always takes a stand against traditional Christian values and beliefs. He makes disparaging remarks in public forums against those who do stand for traditional Christian values, such as James Dobson. Whatever position Jerry Falwell and other conservative Christians hold on any issue, we will always find Barry Lynn on the other side. He aligns himself with atheists (Michael Nudow, for one). Funny how a "Christian" and atheists would be aligned on any given issue.
So, in my opinion, the man is an infidel. He may admit there is a god, but he denies the power & authority of the one TRUE GOD. By their fruits ye shall know them. :(
Yep, it was Christians thrown into the colliseum of lions & raging crowds on the Donahue show last night. But there is one fact that remains: One Day EVERY KNEE shall bow & acknowledge JESUS CHRIST IS LORD! -

2.) Dobsons may know some things about the family, but he is woefully ignorant about Constitutional law, the Christian doctrine of religious liberty, and the history of the First Amendment.
3.) Dobson's "traditional values" are more "conservative" values than Christian values.

Well, Baptist Believer, the Donahue show was about the subject of this various thread. What I find curious is your comments about my comments (Christians v lions) when you didn't see the show!
Okay, perhaps Barry Lynn is not an infidel. Perhaps he is just a heretic. There...is that better?
BTW, I hope he does make it to heaven.
Out of curiosity, wWhat's your opinion of Harry Emerson Fosdick? -

I have heard Mr. Lynn speak in public and I have spoken to him briefly about his work. I suspect your opposition to him has more to do with his position on separation of church and state than anything else.

I have read and appreciated much of his most famous sermon, "Shall the Fundamentalists Win?", but certainly don't go along with all the ideas contained in the work. (If I remember correctly, Fosdick did not actually take a position in this sermon, other than a plea for tolerance.)
In my view, there are certainly many things to criticize about Fosdick's life work, but there are also some things to appreciate. -
