So you agree that the description is accurate, and that you do not have a real argument against it?

I wouldn't shoot without looking at who I'm shooting at. And when I saw the uniforms I would demand an explanation! I would not turn my weapon towards society's protectors. When those strangers are the police, then yes. Though maybe not in that polite a tone. If we're to take that line of...

Congratulations on your daughter's marriage :) But.....what does the rest of your post have to do with anything?

I do know, though, what "traditions of men" are, and that's what I point out. I am also familiar with "Vineyard"-style "worship" (see the aforementioned description...)

LAWL, sure. And I'm the Chinese Emperor. 1: The style and way that worship is done is a "tradition of man". 2: Gathering in a building is a "tradition of man" 3: The particular type of music chosen is a "tradition of man" 4: Social norms (including holding doors for women) are "traditions of...

If you kill a police officer, you deserve whatever you got. I hope they fry him - and that's too good for him at that. He deserves being tied to a stake and burned alive in public. Edit: Well, on the other hand...since many of those who wrongly suffered that fate died of suffocation...

Vineyard doesn't have "traditions of men"? :D:D:D

Yes, universal. Not just pretend-universal, and populated by one group who has made a claim to being THE church, based only on their own claims to that, using the mother of all circular arguments.

What I find interesting, is how you totally disregard those "traditions of men" that you and your "church" (hey...gathering in a church is also a "tradition of man"! You MUST stop at once!) supports, and only crack down on the traditions of those you disagree with. Jesus wasn't against...

Yeah, that "mortal sin"-doctrine that the papist church has created for itself, using the same method as the worst of the "Just me an' mah Bible!" so-called "non-denominationalists" use....

Cognitive dissonance. Yeah, but since most of the world's Christians are caught up in an organization that claims to be THE ONLY ONE AND TRUE CHURCH (tm) based on nothing but its own word, the collective "we" accepting the truth is a long way off.

Knowing your Greek, though, is integral and essential in finding out what the Bible actually says. Note: The KJV is NOT the Word of God itself. It is a translation of it. Just like all other translations....and a, in our time, mediocre one, at that.

Nice attempt at derailing...not gonna work. Go troll somewhere else ;) Lies! You just want to cover up the alien conspiracy to kidnap every one of us and display us in their alien zoos all over the universe in different galaxies! The CIA and Mossad are in on it too, in exchange for free season...

Well, you probably think that anyone who thinks differently from you only does so because they've been "sheltered", so your definition isn't really all that valid ;)

Oh great...just what we need...another conspiracy nutjob... :doh:

Depends on the age of consent. But not if he had shared your opinion on homophilia. If that had been the case, you wouldn't have cared about this at all. You're just using this to get to him as a proxy, and THAT was the point.

This is where knowing your Greek comes in handy. The meaning of the words εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν is much deeper than just "Yo, remember me".

At least be honest about your motivations. If this had been someone you agreed with in the matter of homophilia, you wouldn't have given a single fiddlestick about what he said here. Not one.

Context....context....context.

:thumbsup: Exactly this. Yes, the pastor does not have magical powers in and of himself to do anything. God works through him, and through his speaking the words of Consecration. But without these words, the elements remain only bread and wine. The only other alternative is to say that they...
