I'll also bet that if you took a scientific survey of unmarried Christian teens you would find a huge percentage of them who DID engage in sexual activity and many who became pregnant while using DC Talk, Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant, Newsboys, Third Day, Michael W. Smith, etc. as their background music.

"Theologians who need to 'discuss' whether or not we come from apes are not worthy of their title!"

"I still feel that public education is no place to teach the bible. It would not get treated with the proper respect that it deserves. It should be taught at home and at the church. It is our responsibility."

"It's interesting to note that those who hold dear their KJV bible and condemn the science of textual criticism have never taken studied NT Greek or read up on textual criticism. Unfortunately, this is a continuation of the blindness of traditionalism and a result of American intillectualism (IMHO)."

First, none of that is true. I know many, many fine folks who adhere to the KJV who have indeed studied NT Greek and clearly understand the "science" (falsely so-called) of textual criticism. This "science" attempts to place man's flawed logic ahead of the logic of faith. Also, most of the men teaching NT Greek today were taught that the Nestle Aland text is best by whoever taught them so that's what they teach others. This is what James White would call 'circular reasoning'. Tradition, if you will.

Second, believe it or not, there are many of us who do not adhere to the blindness of traditionalism but rather believe that God has preserved His Word for us IN SPITE of the flawed logic of the aforementioned "science" of modern textual critics. After looking at both sides of the matter, many just believe that the traditional text is best.

"When I was a young man, the Methodist Church had a very good layman's program. It included indepth study of the bible and presentation. It was exciting. We even got to deliver a message to each other."

Maybe a bivocational pastor is a good idea. I've known some good ones.

"Please pray for me as I am literally sick and tired of the Gay community always complaining! I mean it, I am sick of Gay people right now!"

So was Lot.

This is from the Jan-Mar 2009 issue of The Quarterly Record, the Trinitarian Bible Society's magazine in response to the bus ads:

"At its last meeting the General Committee of the Society agreed to spend £35,000 on a poster campaign on the buses in London to display the text, ‘The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God’. On each of the posters will be the offer of free copies of the Bible from the Society."

The last few times I've gone in there I've been unable to find anyone to help me. The 'salespeople' are always standing around talking to each other. The last time I was there a year or so ago I mentioned to one of the sales guys that their TV prices were a good bit higher than their competitiors' and he said, "Not my fault. I didn't price them". That was it for me.
