I agree with you to a point... I'm just wary of any church that says, we need such and such for our church in order to be successful. I got to places where literally you could play a t-ball game inside the sanctuary, and stop at the coffee shop and book store on your way to the oversized gym. what I'm saying is that some churches make the building the primary focus, and I just don't believe that there's alot of bibilical precedent (new testament) for God requiring that focus. Then again, I can relate to you that church can be about comfort and familiarity. I guess I just see that as a 20th century invention. I'm primarily speaking to the First Baptist Churches of Houston. 3 campuses live via satelite. that just doesn't seem to leave room for community or the Spirit of God. I know you weren't picking a fight. I see your side, my friend.

you can really thank Cwsox for the evolution of PA... now THAT guy's a false prophet...

yeah, and John Kerry saying that "faith without works is dead" makes us feel all warm and fuzzy...

wow, that was a waste of time... he doesn't have a brother named Jed. if you meant John Ellis Bush, or Jeb, as his friends call him, then I guess you're in the 9 out of 10 that George W is smarter than. who's the sheeple, guy? I'm not the one getting a jones over a horrible candidate, I just think my guy is better than yours.... I never said he's perfect. your "he's an idiot" reference is the same thing our "flip-flop" label... as Kapkomet aptly states.... SBC and just for the record.... your "net worth" numbers are crap... net worth

I'm on two staffs...a national level republican and state level.

let's get passed the election, I promise to be a whole lot less funny. edit: I guess it would be a good time to state me three favorite soxtalk posters... in no special order: Juggernaut (espnJohn), Brandon (veeky), and Texsox. when I have those guys to look up to, of course I'm angrier and less funny to people like you, Jim.

That guy's a friggin' false prophet. John Kerry's down with OPP-ression of unbabies and aligns himself with people who hate Christianity. (the music and movie industry) pathetic example of a guy who thinks with a worldly mind and claims to be a christian

because I like the idea of paying towards my own retirement benefits...as opposed to paying someelse's arbitrarily assigned governement payout. I hate the idea of retirees relying solely on SS. It's an atrocity. It wasn't meant to be what it is today. So yes, please gut the system.

c'mon...only women?? kidding

I think Clinton is removed enough now to be seen as good, but he's wicked sick...and he wants his wife to win and she'll never get the nom with Kerry-edwards in the way. Gore is just a sad sack. I feel so bad for him. He's so gay and he doesn't even know it.

point taken about not wanting to watch it... which you should do at some point. Good-bye lenin is on my list... I seen it all the time at Blockbuster. I'll recommend "Russian Ark" and "The Station Agent" to you. As for Moore, I don' t think he wants people to get involved, he just wants them to vote. Otherwise "Pick nose! Pick butt! Pick Kerry." wouldn't be the slogan for his political "tour" I guess you'd call it. to be honest, boogers, ass hairs and John Kerry seem to fit perfectly together.

ahhhhhhhh, I love how the only defense for her actions are... well, we elect john kerry and not Ketchup-kerry... anyone remember hillary Rodham-Clinton?? k, just checking.

can you blame them for not wanting to exploit the deaths and injuries of soldiers who hate john kerry and michael moore? ah yes...the same people who were in michael moore's film. Has anyone beside me seen this film? because at least three people from Fahrenheit is is "hype" and in two cases their interviews were taken out of context from fotage that wasn't shot by anyone affiliated to Moore... and the third was a soldiers family who abhor Moore for exploiting their son's death for money.

"Ask not what your country can do for you...but ask, where the f*** does John Kerry think he's going to get the money to support all of his ridiculous plans?" * *los middle classes

Does she have people following her around nit-picking on every little thing she says? now she does...and we're finding out what an evil slut bag she is. I think it's indicative of her mindset, and if you don't believe that John Kerry thinks the exact same way THAT'S assinine. They're elitists beyond the Bush's comprehension. and give me a break about Bush being a dope, no offense guy, but GWB scores better on his SATs than 9 out of 10 of us. He's just a real and average mannered guy. That's true representation to me. I know poor people and I know extremely rich people. (anyone want to go to the ski resort at Jackson Hole, WY? My mom's best friend owns the place and her husband goes fly fishing with Cheney.) John Kerry is a second rate hack of a candidate who's changed positions so many times, a tiajuana crack whore would ask for more money.... If you hate women who stay at home to raise children, then vote for john kerry, because his wife does.... and John Kerry spouting New testament verses makes me want to friggin' puke...

"Religion cannot save, service cannot save, no even scripture cannot save our soul from death... so I will boast in only Jesus Christ, to this world I have been crucified...so I will boast in only Jesus Christ." -Ross King I agree with you in the sense that one cannot lean solely on the structure of the church to save you from eternal death or eternal fertilization of the earth if you're FlasoxxJim. What I do believe is that if we effectively minister to each other and take care of one another's needs, the depth of which people struggle with sin will be deminished. Paul talks of a life without sin, but I dont know about you I struggle constantly with things that I shouldn't have to. Church is about coming together and worshipping God corporately. Church is about living out that worship through sacrifice and taking care of your brother. I think there are going to be alot of rich people surprised about their fate when they die. Jesus is the only thing we need...He just gave us the gift of the Spirit and then gave us community to live out that spirit.

hell yeah.... it's not about the music, the pastor and his sermon, or the building...lord knows it's not about the building... (if you think church is has anything to do with where you worship and how nice the place looks... lord help you) Church is about our complete worshipping of God. end of story.

no, I wasn't reacting harshly, I just wanted to know if both his posts were just jokes. I'm cool (haha, do I really jump on the defensive that much? oh..I do...ouch )

it's from one of my very good friends...a pastor in a baptist associated (mildly) independent church in College Station, Texas... yeah...Jesusland, Texas. I have a distinct feeling that a growing number of people in my generation will make a switch from 20th Century Churches...which have at most 25% biblical basis...to 21st Century new testament churches. I have talked to many people who desire so much more out of this thing we call "church". you can go to AA meetings and get better fellowship...and that's a compliment to AA and a knock on church. "Christians" buy into world culture so much more than I understand. edit: by the way, rock on for your church digging into this stuff. it's a reality and praise God he's showing us our errors.

testarooo

use the green if you're mocking please...

Dick Morris is a very informed and influential man. Bill Clinton did s*** for Homeland security while in office and Morris is just saying it like it is....it's not Bush's fault or doing that 9/11 happened. His and many individuals opinions support that in "Hype". He's not the guy who makes the policy, so at the end of the day it's the Senator, Representative or President that gets the glory or the shame.

Has been found.... The Global Test

OMG!!!
