I would prefer to see other people's comments about the article before I read the article myself. I have a feeling it's probably just another bunch of disheartening speculations that may or may not be true.

It is a great, kind, biblically base response to critics. I think that it will help arm you for war.

I count among my personal friends people with whom I have substantial differences - Jews, Moslems, Mormons, Jehovah's witness, athiests. My friendship with them is not based merely on a desire to "convert" them. Although I would be willing to talk to them about faith in Jesus when and if they inquire, I do not force my religion down their throat - and receive the same consideration from them in return.

I like this guy already. Nothing gets on my nerves more than someone who is trying to be your friend, or friendly to you just so they can get another notch on their "salvation belt". Once they get that notch or realize they might not achieve it they somehow "distance" themselves from you.

I've run into too many people that are like that. If your gonna be someone's friend, be genuine about it instead of leading them on.

Anyways back to reading..

Wow this guy get a bit deep into it. Although familar with alot of this stuff I myself have boiled it down to really simplistic philisophical terms. But for those who are interested in digging that far the info is there. For those who care.. keep in mind he does not strictly use King James verses either. (Seems he has a battle going with the "King James Only" crowd).

Anyone have any idea how old some of these articles are? This guy refers to alot of stuff that happened pretty early in christian music (the 80's).
