That Boat Don't Float!!

We'll see Sunday, won't we?

You don't honestly think anyone expects you to be there, do you, AV?

 

[AV1611VET]

Why would I have to go to church on Sunday?

Good question.

I'm not really familiar with the Church of England.

Maybe they hold their services throughout the week?

Dunno.

From the sound of your post, looks like you can't wait until their doors open.

(Unless I have a hearing problem.)

Did you actually read my post?

I don't know about a hearing problem, but you certainly have a reading problem.

it's not your hearing that has the problem -- what does going to a building once a week to see and be seen have to do with anything, "Independent" Baptist?

many months later we come back and check on CF and every thread is still about the same thing.

Right, ramble over. I’m not quite sure if I’ve said what I wanted to say, but there it is. Oh yes, and one last big up for the C of E.

I just noticed you're Anglican, too! Wow... I have notice that many of what I would call 'sensible' Christians are either Anglicans or Catholics for some reason. Not to say that all either believe I agree with but they seem to have little to no problem separating and accepting both, their faith and their scientific education.

Now, I am probably biased as I used to be Roman Catholic and until the age of 13, I attended private Catholic schools, while I lived in Mexico. One thing I noticed is that some of the smartest and most outspoken teachers in my schools were the Jesuit priests who taught science INCLUDING EVOLUTION!

To be honest, I didn't encounter this opposition to evolution or fundamentalism, even in my family who lived in rural Mexico, until I arrived to the US.

That's probably one of the reasons why Mexico is in the 10/40 Window.

That's probably one of the reasons why Mexico is in the 10/40 Window.

Except that it's not, since the 10/40 window refers to Africa and Asia, not North America.

10/40 Window - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 10/40 Window is a term coined by Christian missionary strategist Luis Bush in 1990 to refer those regions of the eastern hemisphere located between 10 and 40 degrees north of the equator,

OK.

Still nothing referring to North America or Mexico as part of the 10/40 window. And since the term is meant to refer to areas where Christianity is lowest, and Mexico doesn't fall into that category either, I still don't see how it counts as being part of the 10/40 window.

Furthermore, I don't see how the teaching of evolution is the reason that Mexico is part of the 10/40 window, considering it's been where it is for millennia, and certainly before evolution was even described.

LOL -- I say keep reading, and you come back with part of the first sentence --

Here, let me do it for you.

From the same article -- at the end:

Over the years, the term 10/40 Window has evolved from a specialist term used by Christian missiologists to assumed vocabulary for Christians in the West...

Yeah, sure, Christians in the West. Doesn't mean that the term refers to the West, but that certain people in the West use it.

Also, the 10/40 Window as you are using the term would include most of the United States. The southern United States, to be specific; the most Christian part of the United States. Yet it wouldn't include such nations as iceland and Sweden, which are predominantly non-Christian.

The term "Middle East" is used by people in the United States, but that doesn't mean that the United States is part of the Middle East.

I'm not going to spend an inordinately-long amount of time on this. I have to hurry before the sanballats show up and start accusing me of derailing yet another thread, as I answer you guys' questions.

You could be a part of a team to plant a church in the 10/40 window of Mexico.

That's what They're saying it is.
Now if you've got a problem with that, go to them and correct them.

You guys have a good day now.

Don't scratch your heads too hard.

I like the part about "Christian mythologists."

We just had a well-know evangelist at our church with whom it did happen -- and here's a link that even Gracchus won't touch: Rorschach Ink Blot Test.

In the two decades in which I have been treated by mental health care providers (psychiatrists, psychologists), I have never been given this test. So, I am not familiar with it. Nor do I know of its accuracy in identifying personality traits or disorders. I imagine it would be only one of a battery of tests.

What happened to the evangelist at your church?

Are Roman Catholics not considered to be 'real Christians'?
