We stand for the Word of God we get knocked down but we need to get up and keep standing and those who come against us leave to God........... Is it just me feeling this way????

They prefer to stand behind fabricated ideals and warm fuzzy rhetoric. That's just my 2 cents <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are right on. People don't want to hear the truth. They want a watered down verison of the truth. They don't want to call sin, sin because it may hurt someones feelings. Well no one said it would be easy but it has to be done. Just look at the names Jesus called the ones selling in the temple. Sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade, especially where souls are at stake, and that's my two cents.

Those can not be negotiated or watered down. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to have unity at any cost and how dare we say some one is not a christian because of what they believe (the bible says they are not because of what they believe - not me) We forget the Gospel and what it says so we don't offend so we don't judge so we don't make some one feel bad. We compromise the Word of God left and right and the ones standing up for the Gosplel the preachers and pastors who are teaching the Cross fight daily to be heard over the roar of compromisers who have itching ears and won't know the truth if it was heard.......... Signs and wonders new revelations take presitent over the Word of God, ............ Some hot shot preachers says it it is gospel forget what the bible says..... Well Lord have mercy on us all................. In Christ IreneM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TV stations should have pulled the plug on this guy right then and there but no he just kept spouting his garbage for another 20 minutes. We listen to this we applaud it (yes there was much applause after his statement) and we allow it to continue not speaking up not wanting to offend or have a curse called down on us or not wanting to be the only person standing up for the TRUTH.......... When a teacher says that even he could have died on the cross for my sins something is wrong in the church something is wrong with the people and something is wrong when The Truth that is not being preached............
