Well, if there are no fundies on this site, there should be no angst at my comments. So , we are all at peace with one another and all is well.
As a father, I will do all possible to prevent my children from adopting the attitudes of exclusiveness and judgmentalism that is so prevelant in the conservative/fundy community - a community, by the way, of which I am a member. AND, I have no intention of ever actually leaving that community. I can do much for the cause of Christ by remaining in the community that has been a life-time trying to get me gone. I ain't leaving. I fully intend on making as many ambassadors for Christ as possible. Christ prayed for unity ... his very last words .. and I intend on doing what I can to make that happen. Join me in this struggle and your life may suddenly become full, if it is not already !!

Seattle, this weekend.
He is not a professional speaker although he is very much a professional type guy. He has titled his lesson "Man's failure and God success." It is so good to be able to talk to him about something of substance in relation to this lesson he is considering.
I pointed him to Col 1:19-23 and encouraged him to see that we are not pure,
blameless and above reproach because of what we do -- ever. Just can't or
will not be that consistent. (I have yet to meet the man or woman who proves this understanding to be wrong.) But we are holy, blameless and above reproach IN Christ -- a truth that carries water only because of our position in Christ. I mean, that is what the text says. I c ontrasted that with what many fundies believe -- that the disciple is saved from hell fire rather than being saved from all that comes his way, the work of the Accuser, to tie him to failure and disappointment.
I believe that many are as talented as some, the difference being that the
talent is closer to the top , for some ................ others having to work
harder. At the end of the day, success is as great for the many as for the
some, it just didn't come as easy. Anyway, it will be interesting to see just
what he says . The good thing about this is that it gives me an opportunity to talk to him about the truine God and all that He has accomplished in Christ.
