Just signed onto the Baptist Board....what a hoot!
At the urging of scigirl, I registered at the Baptist Board. the arguments they pose are unbelievable. Do you think they understand the difference between REAL evidence and anecdotal evidnece??
Here is a post I'm copying and pasting from "James2" just for a few belly laughs. He's obviously arguing with one of our members who is posting over there. Ovrdose: Of course there are miracles today. EVERYTIME a person is BORN AGAIN is a miracle [well if THAT ain't proof of miracles...what is????]. If you insist that you "need miracles",(I guess to help you with your faith) take the so-called "healer" you are giving your money to, offer to drive him to the nearest mortuary and have him raise some of the dead. After all, he has the "gift" of healing. Or take him to the local hospice and have him "heal" everyone. I mean, after all, the guy has a "gift" from God. When are people going to get it through their thick skulls that we have the WRITTEN word of God? All those miracles that Jesus and the Apostles performed were to demonstrate who Jesus was. It converted almost no one. Just like today. The gift of REGENERATION, being born again comes from the Holy Spirit [ie; your imagination], not from some so-called "healer." Is one denomination better than another??? What do you think? Actually most of them aren't worth spending five seconds in [ESPECIALLY the Baptist Church]. You need to read some DOCTRINE [er..brainwashing propoganda] and find out what the Apostles taught. Then you wouldn't be asking such a question. The Baptists are far better than most, that's for sure. But you have to be careful and find a church that actually teaches the gospel -- not what they call the gospel, but what the Bible says the gospel is. It really worries me that you can even ask a question like that. [Geepers...you might sway me away from my beliefs!!] Oyy... [ February 26, 2002: Message edited by: MOJO-JOJO ]</p> |
