When I was growing up, I knew Dolly Parton from 9 to 5 and as a running gag about her chest. It wasn't until I got into bluegrass around 2000 that I realized how very talented she was. I don't think too many artists could have taken a Collective Soul song and made it into a nugrass hit.

Orthodoxy is kind of like RCC with less papacy and extra mysticism. There's a large Lebanese population in Ottawa, and an Antiochian Orthodox church hosts an annual Lebanese festival. Ditto the food--Greek and Lebanese food are both Mediterranean, so quite similar. Take a gyros, swap out the...

Are you asking how our church does discipline? From a previous thread on the topic:

I'm not so sure the rule doesn't exist. "If he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector" (Matt. 18:17). Note Jesus says he "refuses to listen," and that is enough to establish his guilt. He doesn't say, "states his case before the church and is...

It's from Phil Johnson, so more likely hyperbole than an actual straw man.

I tend to agree that if you resign your membership on good terms and while in good standing, it should be easy and painless. But I happen to agree here that a member who is presently under church discipline should not be permitted to resign said membership until the disciplinary procedure has...

He was a blogger and had/has a presence on social media, so he's "Internet famous," at least. He's also written multiple books although none that I've read personally.

You quit responding because you can only say "Is too!" so many times. You've certainly done no analysis of Revelation to prove your point. You rushed off to the Old Testament. Typical Dispensational study: Dispensationalism is the start and end of your hermeneutic, and no text of Scripture can...

Natural choice. Apart from MacArthur himself and Phil Johnson, who just retired, Busenitz is probably the most visible of Grace's elders.

How nice for you.

And yet, earlier you said: And so you cannot make up your mind what constitutes a "cult," meaning your opinion on the subject is mercurial, unreliable and worthless. That's not a "cult," it's a dress code. And like every other dress code l've ever seen, it applies to a specific situation...

It isn't just the left side. There are Anglican and United churches here in Ottawa whose entire identity is defined by the stripy sex flags on their buildings. The United Churches of Christ in the States was fully affirming of gay clergy a few years before even the United Church of Canada.

Yeah, but in your opinion James Fishback was a viable political candidate. :ROFLMAO:

I don't know. I had a look at their Web page. They're "affirming" not only of homosexuality, but pagan religions as well (their rainbow-coloured doors hold symbols for Buddhism, Baha'i, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism). That identity is front and centre: part and parcel of their branding. So I...

Sounds about right. We've talked about Hamblin a lot here over the years. He's a goof. And for some reason he always looks like he's trying to keep his dentures from falling out.

Losers lost.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

1. Since you've made no effort to prove John uses the word differently than the rest of the New Testament: Every time there's a mention of "saints." You just repeating ad nauseam that it isn't the Church, doesn't make it so. Show your work. 2. Voicecrying also makes a good point above. "Those...

But in the New Testament, "saints" invariably means Christians. The onus is on you to show from the text how you can know John is using it differently in Revelation. So put up or shut up.
