I am sure I agree --- but I do not dismiss the relational impact (whether positive or negative) of those on this site.
When I came to this forum, I was a supporter of David M, typically conservative (for lack of a better term) and an oft defender of Judy Taylor.
And what have I learned? That few on this site have a clue as to the meaning of "liberal." ........................ that some on this site place concepts (their concepts which they confuse with divine concpet) as more important than continuing relationships.
Lance asked about the difference between the Christ of DM and JT and some others on this forum. There is so much confusion that one scarsely knows where to begin. Perhaps the best way to say it is this: they believe in a Christ of Law and grace and others believe in a Christ of Spirit and grace. The former insists that obedience is the path to God, ala the Old Law -- and the others believe that obedience is a response to the Indwelling - an indwelling that cannot possibly miss His mark because He has become a part of the ontology of the saint.
That is how I see the difference.

And I have observed Kevin's approach to ministry here on TT, not to mention others who have drifted in and out over the last couple of years. And so, I will be the first to admit to a limited experience. Yes, I hung around and listened on more than one occasion, as I was curious to see the kinds of reactions their preaching provoked. And no, it didn't seem to me that they ever really got to the Gospel. "Christ," it seemed, was but a segue to the soul of their message: "Repent, or be damn!"Having said that, I am opened to having misjudged Street Preachers as a whole, by the few I have encountered. That is why I am open to meeting you in N.O.Billcd: I would like to add in Kevin"s defense-that this forum is limited in it's expressive forms-One cannot truly learn another on this site- Kevin has a big heart for the lost and I have seen him stand and discuss truth for hours with one individual-Great patience and love shown by Kevin but not seen on this site.
