Jack, you having problems with dysphasia or weakness? Are you in any sort of therapy right now?

Char replied to love4theword's discussion 'Prayer requests'

Involving others?? So not the MO. Unless it's to inadvertently talk about how unfortunate those who don't get it are. Are we doing that here? Will there be a round of the "thank you Lord that I am not as ungodly as char other people" prayer?

Char replied to Miguel's discussion 'Don't go to Church, Be the Church!'

Holly, I am not denying that people have bad experiences. What I am wondering is why the institutional church is to blame for people having bad experiences. Is it really the system? I just don't see the evidence. And I don't see how a different mo...

Ugly day today. Then xulon made me laugh.

Char replied to Miguel's discussion 'Don't go to Church, Be the Church!'

I did say they could both be done at once. God works, but not in the same way. Teaching is much less direct. We teach his word and it can affect us or not. When we proclaim it, he acts directly, reaching out of it to turn men's hearts and/or make...

Char replied to Raquel's discussion 'Gnosticism (aka the GWord)'

Joanne, a definition by user is ultimately part what gnosticism is. But it seems to me since Raquel specifically asked what is it now, we would do well to heed what people who actually agree with and call themselves by this label think it is. That...

Tell us about yourself

My motto:

"God often works by contraries" -Richard Sibbes

I happen to think God has placed me on this earth to be one of those contraries. Ha!

If anyone knows of good books in need of a home, please let me know! I will be happy to adopt orphaned books, especially if they were written by Puritans.

How would you describe yourself theologically?

I hold to the London Baptist 1689 (or 1677, whatever).

Who is the greatest theologian in the last 2000 years? (Besides Biblical People!)

Just one? I like Athanasius, and I like John Owen.

What is your web-address?

Don't make me

you.

My favorite Church Father-Athanasius
This is a textile piece that I hope to finish soon. Well eventually.

Oh, man.... sometimes a little fun can be VERY dangerous.

I'll be careful to ensure that the ground crew double checks the hydraulics on the plane tonight. I have an eerie feeling that your reach is long and effective. Please consider the collateral damage before acting rashly though, there may be a lot of innocent souls on these flights... well, innocent of insulting your good taste at least.

I work at not being offended. A Mr.Spock mentallity is what I try to achieve though not always successful.

Glad you regonized the humor in my comment. I couldn't resist. I know, I'm evil.

I just learned how to convert MS Powerpoint into jpg and have always enjoyed nature and animals. It's a toss up between you, Xulon and Doc Mike as to who gets this pic for their arsonal, maybe all of you. You first, as we're talking at the moment.

Take Care,

Theologica UFC-MARV VS CHAR

So I have noticed that Marv is all trying to horn in on my territory (yes I noticed MARV >:( ). He is too much like me and trying hard to be more contentious and pugnacious and tenacious and some other -iouses that I can't think of than I am. HE ISN'T THOUGH. He's just TRYING to be.

I mean think about this: who is the most exasperatingly contentious person here? Who is better at framing even an agreement as a disagreement just to keep arguing? Who rotates their position just so they a… Continue

Night of PIETIST Longfist (scene one)

Scene: a village. (Cut to Harry dealing cards to Char).

Char: Snap

Harry: aw

Char: soon you will learn the ways of quickness my student.

Char hears a noise behind her. Motions to Harry.

Char: stop. I think we are being watched.

voice: you are clever even if degenerate.

PIETIST jumps from bushes. Pushes harry aside, throwing cards to the ground. Harry looks surprised, flips backward, landing on face.

Char rises: who has sent you?

PIETIST: I am concerned with the holiness of the church as… Continue

This is not a quote from Jesus

From 1 Corinthians:

To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband, and the husband should not divorce his wife. To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.

Now concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I giv
