Are you a fundie?

[Izdaari Eristikon]

Whatever became of Shorin-Begorrah?

Gaelic?

Yep, must be an Irish style! I imagine it'd have Shorin-Ryu as the base, but branching off into brouhahas, donnybrooks and shillelaghs.

 

[FundamentalistJohn]

Yep (the former, not the fine print)!


Well, I wouldn't say all. There are some I have on ignore, but I like most of the regulars here, and to name just a few special favorites:

you
Nadiine
Desmalia
NorrinRadd
AnneSally (who's been gone for a while - I miss her )

Also, I'm becoming fond of Cubanito, and I get a lot of good information from Deacon Dean, who's not at all warm and fuzzy but he knows a lot.

Anyone else I didn't mention, well, put it down to my not having had my coffee yet. Unless I've got you on ignore, and even that doesn't mean I hate you, it just means I don't think it'd be productive for me to interact with you.

It was long, long ago and far, far away. More recently I did [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]o-Ryu. Now I've moved on to JKD. But 7th Dan, that's impressive!

I am fond of them all and many I haven't seen in a while. BTW has anyone heard from HowardDean?

no & she's been on my mind recently.

Yep (the former, not the fine print)!

Ya I miss Anne Sally alot too, I noticed she hasn't been here for awhile.
Sometimes we all just need a break & get busy with life - hope she comes back one of these days soon =0)

I do believe the whole Bible is infallible and I have reasonable standards that I go by, therefore I feel I am a fundamentalist. However, a few of the hardcore fundies may disagree, as I am politically moderate (as many can see by my "Indy" symbol), wear pants most of the time, own a television, listen to a variety of music, and I read both KJV and NKJV.

Politics has no direct bearing on being a fundy. It is true that these days in most Western societies fundys align w the "conservative" wing of politics, but there are plenty who do not. I might disagree on your politics, but that does NOT give me reason to question your allegiance to Biblical inerrancy, perspecuity or perspecacity.

What pants, TV, music preferences or the selection of a translation has to do w it I can't tell.

I wear pants a lot of the time too, OK?

Only one thing you wrote makes me wonder if u r really a fundy: "I feel I am a fundy..."

NO, you are not a fundy based on what you "feel", but on what you think. Now, one may question if the actions r consistently opposed to what someone says they think/believe, but feelings have little to do w this.

Yep. She's doing OK and will be back on CF soon.

'cept for that time you were cleaning your in-laws' house in a dress, if I recall correctly?

AnneSally (who's been gone for a while - I miss her )...

She does that (disappear). Those of us who know her from other venues have decided she's some sort of secret agent who only posts during breaks between MI-5 assignments.

 

[-~Truth_N_Trust~-]

lol, I had been wondering about AnneSally...

By the word "feel", it means opinion. I believe in the WHOLE Word of God for what it is, therefore, I deserve to be a welcome part of this thread. If you don't want to think of me as a "fundy", that's your opinion, but let's agree to disagree.

Here's what I'm trying to say (hope this helps)....

I mentioned all those frivolous issues like TV, Bible translations, music, politics, dresses vs. pants on women, etc. because there used to be a lot of people in the fundamentalist forums that tended to be very strict on those things. And they are to be commended and respected for having those convictions. But many people stereotype all fundamentalists as having those convictions when that is only true of some fundamentalists. Fundamentalists alone vary in denomination and backgrounds, range from reasonable to "legalistic", and have different convictions and opinions. Nevertheless, we as Christians should be able to agree on one thing, and that's having Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior.

And hey, if we all thought the same, wouldn't this be a mighty dull world?

From what I understand (ask Cubanito or No Swansong or one of the other long timers) this is precisely the reason a definition was adopted. If you haven't read it, it is in the FSG's. It doesn't say anything about wearing pants, dancing etc. It basically speaks of basic (fundamental) doctrine.

 

[Saint_Rita]

New fundamentalist here... Can I come out and play?

I know that. I was merely pointing out that there are a few who actually think so. And some fundamentalists are indeed stricter than other fundamentalists. That's what I meant when I said "ranging from reasonable to legalistic".

As for me, I believe in the pure, infallible Word of God for what it is, with nothing added to or taken away. So, therefore, I am a "fundie"!

 

[Catanga]

Yes, I'm a fundy. Today isn't easy, to be a Bible believer and faithfull to Bible teaching. But I try to stay firm.

Belief in the ultimate authority of G-d words, it's inerrancy, belief in the Trinity, the virgin birth, and the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That is the major points of Fundamentalism.
