No one is going to take away your MTV. But please leave a place at the table for those of us that are concerned about the aggressive and pervasive onslaught of secularism (pop culture) that has not only invaded our lives, but our Sunday mornings too.
I avoid pop culture (read secularism) as much as possible, not because I am a “legalist” but because I have no desire to fill my mind with this folly, and it now no longer appeals to me.
If the CC teaches that those who disagree on non-doctrinal issues are Pharisees, than I’ll pass on your invitation.
First of all I didn’t forbade him anything.
I was informing him that debating him was a waste of time.
He implied contemporary worship was “destroying traditional worship”
You refer to contemporary worship as MTV, secular, and pop culture, in other words, it’s of the world.
Neither one of you used the word “demonic”, but I’m sure that’s what you feel.
You and the Colonel can worship as you please, where you please. The body of Christ is big and varied,
I find it offensive when both of you feel it necessary to judge congregations that don’t fit into what you believe to be correct.
The Pharisees basically thought like you and the good Colonel and did the same thing. Sorry if that offends you.
The two of you have described CC worship as: MTV, pop culture, aggressive and pervasive secularism invading Sunday morning, a destroyer of classic worship. Have I missed any?
Don’t sell yourself short Hiho, you are a legalist along with the Colonel. I would bet the farm that both of you are also KJV-only. Good ol` 1611 King Jimmy, inspired by god don’t you know?
Feel free to comment and tell the Colonel to do the same.
Let me take the time now to apologize for not reading or responding to any of it.
But it is destroying traditional worship, and if you look at it fairly, you’ll see that.
My personal Bible is KJV but I also read freely from NIV because I like to see a different commonly accepted translation because I believe that the Bible means something in English as well as Greek and Hebrew.
You’re quite right though, in that debating you is a waste of time since you’ve already won the argument. Churches all over America are adopting your style and leaving mine. All you have to do is wait for people like me to die off and you’ve won. So why debate?
That’s a shame for dinosaurs like me. But as I said, you’ve won. Enjoy your victory.
