Personally, I'll be voting for Ron Paul. Come November, I don't know what I'll do. I think he's the only one I could conscientiously vote for. I'm still reeling that McCain will probably get the Republican nod. You couldn't have convinced me he'd be the front runner a few months ago....

I can handle that! I have to say, what he believes is VERY close to what I've come to believe, with the exception that I'm still calling myself a 'tentative' historic pre-mil. I have no issues with amils though, I just haven't wrapped my mind around eschatology enough to claim anything...

Hey all! It's been forever since I've been here. I saw when I logged in that my last visit was the middle of August! Wow, didn't realize it had been THAT long! Glad to see some familiar faces around here, and looking forward to maybe meeting some new ones. I've peeked into a few...

It's CCWoody's 38 birthday this week 4 days ago!! Just in case you forgot you are getting old!!! LOLOL

exactly! LOL

I've never been involved in WOF, but I found it interesting that a while back, my pastor actually took one Sunday during a series to speak about false prophets and named 3 false prophets in the church today(by name, no less! with pictures and examples of why they were false prophets :)~ ) and...

yeah, and for a WHOLE WEEK you get to be reminded! As well as for a week after(just in case you forgot!) LOL

Excellent points Woody...perhaps I shouldn't be so assuming.... I agree totally with everything you said. However, I must point out that I've never seen a website by a confirmed calvinistic church that sidestepped the issue in the way this churche's site does. Doesn't make them arminian...

Woody, your posts always crack me up! ;)

...double post, sorry.

No, it's not a Calvinist church. I underlined the phrases that prove it. However, they don't seem to be fully arminian either--more than likely, they are sitting the fence, so to speak....

I"m not a big fan of crosses and symbols myself. I do have a wooden cross on the wall of my living room that my dad made; I think I have it more as a reminder of my dad and his love of woodworking than anything else! Used properly, I think the display of the cross can be full of meaning...
