Oh man, I read her autobiography...SO sad and hard to read, but she is really an amazing person with an amazing testimony, and God has DEFINITELY used her for good...I don't know how that church could condemn her for anything (aside from, of course, not quoting the KJV).StrongNChrist wrote:Joni Eareckson Tada's story is amazing.

Well, technically as Christians we do believe that our way is the only way.gunblader3 wrote:Eh, extremist. That is all I have to say. This is what happens to people who aren't open minded and only believes their way is the correct way. Definitely gives us Christians a bad name.
But I get what you mean.

Double wow. Those quotes are quite...unintelligent. They should definitely not be going around and calling Mark Lowry gay when they have no proof. OK, maybe you think the guy look's gay. Personally, I don't think he should look like that, but If you have something against him, talk to him, not go and blast him on the internet. And I certainly don't agree with the Gaither's on much probably, but still. These people really need to quit the name calling, and carnal behaviour.bookworm wrote:Wow.Jeremy wrote:On their FAQ page they say the following:Well, guess what they have on their "Music Downloads" page?![...] As far as the Gaithers I agree whole heartedly that they are carnal in their music and lifestyle.

Would that be an 'Epic Fail'?
Lol, you apparently didn't read anything else I wrote in this thread. I very much disagree with this church, and don't personally prefer the KJV or think it is necessarily even the most accurate. If they want accurate, they'd better start learning Greek and Hebrew, not passively accepting the KJV and rejecting all else without objective opinion or knowledge. My statement quoted here is saying that the Bible is clear NO MATTER WHAT version you use, that the personal relationship with God is the most important thing. So even according to the KJV Bible (the only truth), the version you use, the day you worship, the times you take communion, what you wear to church, etc, are all trivial in comparison with our acceptance of Jesus Christ as our savior and Lord, which is the ONLY thing you need to be a Christian. Denominational differences don't make you unchristian like they claim.odysseyfan1 wrote:Do you think that the KJV is the "only" true Bible?SoccerLOTR wrote:The Bible is clear that all you need is a personal relationship with God (even the KJV Bible!)...all other things are trivial in comparison.

I don't think there's anything wrong with discussing a funny website...well, I would agree with you, except I think some of the comments have gone beyond disscussing and have become more of criticism. I do think that some of the statements have led to a good discussion though.American Eagle wrote:Well, until they clean up their website, it's news to me.
Heh, that wouldn't do any good. They would just consider me a heathen rebel. (Unless we were just going to point out the Gaither thing.The Top Crusader wrote:AE or some smart person needs to email them and politely ask what in the world they are doing.
) I did, however, enjoy taking their "survey". One of the questions is actually, "Do you believe that most of the Gaither's music is Biblical?" Someone should seriously tell them about it.

But I put in a fake email so they can't pester me. I hope I don't sadden them with the fact that I put down rock-alternative as my favorite music genre.

Like that one. They're justifying their name-dropping with a biblical reference. Needless to say, I still marked 'no'.Do you believe that it is wrong to NAME heretics like Paul did in I & II Timothy?
