That performance is one thing, but Before the Throne of God Above is actually from the Civil War era and the traditional tune is powerful and moving.

Our assist pastor Joe Russ is doing the teaching, & it has been very good.

Must applaud the defence of biblical forms of music by Bauder and Straub at Sharper Iron. It must be difficult for them to be in a minority among young fundies. But if you touch the sacred cow of the flesh you better expect a reaction.<br /><br />Afraid I don't see the connection between have the position that limited fellowship is possible between true fundamentalists and the antinomian views of people like Swindoll. That is the Phelps like analogies reworked. Bible believing fundamentalists have managed to fellowship for centuries despite differences in many areas. It did not lead the likes of Bon Jones Jr, Ian Paisley, TT Shields to embrace CCM or moral relativity. Think you need to think again.

I just said, tell me what you are hearing. He didn't even know it was going to be music.

I think, however, that the problem goes farther back than you would want to believe.<br /><br />Back to the 1850s when they said "wine" doesn't really mean wine. Back to a time when the pastor became a stand-in for the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />When the protestants left Roman Catholicism, they kept some of Rome's methodology. Even the Baptists, and Brethren did this, though perhaps to a lesser extent than the Anglicans and Presbyterians.<br /><br />Was Jesus raised on Sunday? The bible does not actually say which day He was raised, but the protestants have bought Rome's lies on this one. The placement of a comma in Mark 16:9 makes it seem like He was raised on the first day, but the original had no commas. It could just as easily say "Now when Jesus was risen, early the first day of the week he appeared first to Mary Magdalene..."<br /><br />All I am saying is people tend to read into scripture their pre-conceived notions, and end up disobeying Jesus, and affirming Rome's errors! He is the one who set aside the Sabbath in the Garden of Eden. Do you think He didn't know which day He would be raised on?<br /><br />Christians have the freedom to meet on any day of the week, but the Sabbath is still the Sabbath, and "Lord of the Sabbath" is one of His official titles!<br /><br />Your 3 points are correct, but the root of the problem is that man thinks God needs his help! It ultimately is that our leaders have no respect for God!Dan Knezacekhttp://www.thespiritofprophecy.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-34327918910161489972013-04-08T16:15:35.142-07:002013-04-08T16:15:35.142-07:00Wow!

First class Scriptures for the sake of fighting error yet the rest of Scripture left to the whims of denominational preference. <br /><br />We have supposed that gain is godliness, and inspite of the warning of Scripture concerning the wisdom of the world we strive to be like the world with the lie of winning the world when the truth is that we love the world!1Jn 2:15-17!<br /><br />We hail those who fought against such things in the past as heroes of the faith and build in their name, but refuse to war under their banner.<br /><br /><br />Mt 23:29-31 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
