Please tell me I am wrong, but I detect a note of facetiousness. I, and no one else, have jumped to any conclusions concerning you. What spirit were you expecting? The spirit of discernment prevails here. If you are getting your panties in a bunch over honest christian criticism of literature YOU have brought to US, then you are looking for a spirit that does not exist here. EVERYTHING must pass the scrutiny of scripture. Obviously, key points raised in your literature (I don't care if you didn't write it, you brought it here) conflict with scripture, and some brethren have already taken the time to do as YOU ASKED, and have offered their proper criticism, in a christian fashion. If you did not agree with everything in the literature, you should have made a disclaimer. This isn't Facebook. We take our resources seriously. If you are getting offended, then Christogenea is not for you. When you are prepared to come to Christ as a child, when you are ready to leave that old cloak or wineskin behind, and come with the spirit of humility, then...and only then...will you be ready for the scholarship and fellowship offered here.
Again, please tell me I am wrong in how I am taking your latest responses. I don't think anyone has been rude in the slightest, yet, I detect some liberal butthurt here...
Matthewott,
It seams these boards are always full of arguing. By all means, I do not wish to argue. I believe it would lead either of us, or anyone on this board anywhere. You are wrong, I was not being facetiousness. I was being serious. I was expecting a spirit of Christian brotherhood, and welcome. Instead I got a lot of very vague comments and what I believe assumptions concerning where I was at in my walk with Christ, and baggage I was going to bring into your camp. And I would like it to be known I did not come here push my personal doctrines down anyone throat. This was my first post. I thought this to be a little haste. But that is fine. This seems to have started when Joe brought up 1 sermon out of 100+ on the library concerning Telegony, and if it was true then Eve was tainted by the seed of the serpent among other things. Correct? Or did I miss something? From research I have read Telegony could be very possible, but I am not an expert on the subject. I would be more then happy to read any other research on Telegony, if anyone has any available please send it to me. I have an open mind to all truths, because truth is of Christ. Agreed?
Concerning spirit of discernment. You are 100% right. We are to have a spirit of discernment. But like I said in previous messages, I don't agree 100% with Pastor Jones material, nor do I agree with anyone 100%. The library is pretty new and still being built, but disclaimers is a good idea. Thank you!
You said that "EVERYTHING must pass the scrutiny of scripture". I agree 100% once again. I have not stated anything against this statement.
