Here are our kids for the 2014-15 school year Christmas program, 1st through 12th grade. Two of my daughters are in the picture, one at the piano, and the other, the third, took the picture.
Since you are biblical, can you please explain why Christmas is part of your church service? Jesus Christ was not born on that day, neither was that day to be set aside by the church as any special day.
The point of the picture was not "Christmas" per se, but to show our kids to readers, give them a glimpse in picture form of stuff occurring here, a window into Bethel. That's all. I don't want to talk about Christmas, and that wasn't the point, but thanks for asking. No offense.
I understand. They are a bunch of fine looking children, but why expose them to a "holiday" that has nothing to do with biblical Christianity? Might as well tell them about Santa Clause and the little rein dear since the Jesus of that time has nothing to do with the body of Jesus Christ.
If you wanted to do something special for Jesus Christ, why not pick any time except that time so that they are not confused with the pagan worship of Christ by bible denying Romanists, Protestants and others that are like unto them... many Baptists!
Since you are always drawing finer lines than this, why not be clear on the obvious?
I don't want to talk about Christmas. Let the record read that you really want me to and that I won't. I have a view, but I don't want to take the time. I'm not saying I couldn't change, but it is unlikely.
I hope you and yours are doing great, brother Marlowe sent me some of the adult performances and they were very professional but more importantly they glorified The LORD! you are very blessed to have such a great Church and talented folks in it too! Forgive me here please but if you'll let me get this out of my system thanks with all due respect: Also my comment to Mr. George Calvas, to whom you gave been way more than tolerant, please show some respect here if you have a question then ask if Pastor Brandenburg can address it maybe privately between you and he, or maybe take it up for a topic idea later, I do believe he has brought up Christmas before, and Dr. Ross has addressed you before after you attacked Jim in his awesome resume, seems you only like to come here looking for trouble rather than learn and appreciate what these very knowledgeable and learned men of GOD have to give to us all! Pastor Brandenburg has been way tolerant of you and your negativity towards the Historic Baptist local Church views which we hold dear as being Biblically and doctrinally sound! Please enjoy the teachings with a bit more reverence is all, thanks Pastor Brandenburg may The LORD bless you and yours with health love joy and peace always in Jesus name amen!
Sorry lol, haha but in my haste and texting typos above should've been in regards to Mr. Calvas attacked"him" not Jim** and to whom you "have" ** been way more tolerant, not gave**been sorry, hope you're doing great love you guys may the LORD bless you with health love joy and peace always in Jesus name amen have a blessed day and week

Nice to meet you it's my humble pleasure, the real name is Mr. Chris(topher) Mark Folds from Homestead Florida, hurricane Andrew in 92, and Katrina and Wilma in 05, we're about 30-40 miles south of Miami, but I like the moniker John Mark IB (independent Baptist) haha I wish I could say I know you personally! maybe I'll be blessed in this lifetime to see you and Dr. 's Ross and Strouse!
