Capitol Connection in Washington DC........Fundies are foaming all over......

[prophet]

Well I see we have some Bill Grady followers in this thread. I just about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw Doeg!

I suffered through one torturous class of his....

...only thing I remember!

It probably all went over your head.

So who was the guy that headed this up?

Fellow from your neck of the woods - Chuck Harding.  Care to fill these folks in?

The name sounds familiar but that's about it. I do give them kudos for the Historical Documents links on their website. Very comprehensive.

I'm shocked that nobody has brought up the fact that we, as voters, can request to meet with our Senators and Reps anytime.  We don't have to go through Chuck Harding or anyone else to get there.  These pastors are being misled into thinking that Harding is doing them a favor by "pulling some strings" to make these things happen.  You know what?  You can go down to your neighborhood Mardel's, buy a Bible, and take it to your Senator next time he's in town.  He might even let you pray with him!  I bet it'd cost a whole lot less than the Capitol Connection mission trip, too.  I'd like to know how much Harding and Creed are pocketing from this little venture.

Harding/Creed didn't book our appointments with our Senators and Reps.  Each of the pastors who went did that personally.  I made the appointments and showed up for the meetings.  Again, ignorance reigns supreme on the FFF.

How many large meetings accomodating 100s of people from both your area and across America have you planned, financed and pulled off?  I assume NONE.  Because if you ever did, you would find that you ALWAYS lose $$ doing it.

But, hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your hatred...............

Sounds a lot like gay rhetoric ...  8)

Actually, I prob slept through most of it....

Job and a half, bus ministry on weekends.  Yep, 30 years later, don't remember much of any class I had....

Honest question, Frag.

Would you spend three days to have a prayer meeting with Liberty University, Freebird alumni?

YES!  And I would DEFINITELY present each with a KJ Bible.....

Does your church unite with other Christian churches in your area, whether they be Baptist, Presbyterian, Christian or Catholic for prayer meetings?

I'm trying to be civil.  But, isn't your senator a Catholic?

The better question might be would they spend three days with him?

This is an apples to oranges comp. as well.

The politician is in an ordained position, that we are admonished to pray for.

The false prophet, on the other hand, we are forbidden to bid godspeed to, or wish well.

Obviously some would separate for non-Biblical reasons from other Evangelicals,
but your list included outright cults, like Rome.

It is one thing to separate from a brother who is a fornicator, but not from an unbeliever who is.

It is one thing to pray with a civic leader, another to pray with someone who makes  people two-fold more a child of  Hell than themselves.

Bad translation, better one

unless they have agreed to meet?

Which is why I might join the local Catholic Church in a political activity....pro life rally for instance or helping provide food for the local food ministry...but I'm not interested in joining them for worship. But that's just me, I'm sure!

Psst, wasn't my list.

FWIW I pray with a Catholic co-worker but would not want my church to partner with his priest/parish for a prayer meeting. OTOH I have no problems with crossing (non) denominational lines where the fundamentals (the true kind, not he IFB trumped up mad at the world kind) are in agreement.

FWIFW our camp is hosting a prayer summit later this month. It is being put on by pastors from five nearby churches. BGC (converge), Weslyan, RCA, CRC, and a nondenom. These men are in a very sparsely populated area with huge poverty issues. They have been working together for several years through a group food pantry/clothes closet.  Just the kind of "compromise" that the IFBx hate and Jesus loves.

Full disclosure, one of the churches financially supports our camp directly and all of them send campers to our programs.
