Vintage JimBob post, but perhaps not the most coherent... what, specifically, are you trying to say?

Is it that confrontation for its own sake is a virtue? Confrontation, sometimes, in the service of God maybe, but for example, wicklunds' confrontation above was, IMO, just for the sake of being confrontational.

Jesus used confrontation, but only as a last resort, and only against those who deemed themselves too strong/secure/righteous for any other kind of treatment.

If I'm wrong about what you were saying, I apologise, and please set me straight.

Bravus,

Vintage you say???

I will release no WHINE before it's time.

Bravus,

No apology necessary...your responses have always been appropriate and or gracious.

The first part of my post was in reaction to the Richard O'fill segment on the addy for the revival org forum..

I then digressed to yesterday's experience where I mentioned about confronting a evangelical radio talk show host regarding his sensitivity on creation and his usual stance.

I didn't post the last words said. by him, to me on the radio...but they were.."Jim, you presented a very persuasive argument"...

I was taking his question .."Why isn't creation talke dabout more?" I answered him in my own way...with logic and scripture.

I mentioned some details in the main SS class and got flak ant my effort.

One was (paraphrasing)that we are known to harp about the sabbath and it is self defeating and sets a bad example....and that we should present the gospelllllllllll

The others were that basically we should not argue.


Those few comments was all that was required for me to launch into a jimbob7 rebuke.

After the class I had a few supportive comments.

Okay, I think all Adventists believe that mankind has a mortal soul? When he dies nothing lives on....

Robert, thank you..for being on topic...but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate all of the other posts...by others

Re: "Okay, I think all Adventists believe that mankind has a mortal soul? When he dies nothing lives on.... "

Sorry wrong.

By the way, the SDA basic belief it that the dead, and everything associated with the dead, are unconscious.
