    Climbers for Christ

    Christianity has gone through many falls throughout History. Just as society falls and is born a new, the earthly organizations can destroy themselves, but in the end...the Lord is always working to keep the church in each of us. I believe rational thought allows us to have faith. Animals...

    I think it is great that you are all so active in discussing this topic! It means you care.

    Climbers for Christ

    Firstly, I was referring to the people that have left a religious life because of certain circumstances...I am aware that there are many who believe as you do that the Word is nonsense. I was trying to make the point that earthy organizations are fallible. The trick is that the way we...

    SHERRILLtree and TreeStuff.com announce Fallen Families Fund

    Maybe I am just naive, but I see this as something they have chosen to invest their time and money to get going and they feel strongly about. Anyone donating to it has the choice to support it or something else, so why are we so upset about this fund? And as Nick said they do support training...

    Now that things have settled down a bit, I thought I would stir things up a bit. Something I strongly believe in is my wife! Marriage is something that is very important to me. She is my heart and I am her lungs, we both serve a vital role in the marriage and without the other the marriage...

    So I’m taking your silence as a retraction, as I asked you if you stand by your accusations and you have chosen not to explain yourself. Calling someone a liar should not be taken lightly and if my character is in question I would like to know why. However, if you won’t say it to my face, so...

    I really enjoy the time that went into this post. You did a great job of capturing the ridiculousness of what some believe to be the route the Bible took. One thing I thought fascinating is that the languages the Old and New Testament were written in "died" shortly after... Now some might...

    I usually stay far away from these discussions, but for some reason I felt like contributing. I really appreciate your approach and reasoning so I thank you for adding to this conversation. You said a lot of what I was trying to express, but you said it better and more...well more better.

    Yeah, that Arborist study guide. I’ll use that one for my analogy. Thanks for clearing that up. :D

    This is quite the accusation. Could you please give examples and your reasoning? I don’t appreciate being called a liar and I would just like to hear your justification. Thank you.

    I understand where you are coming from, so I know that it is unproductive to continue this dialogue. I wish you the best.

    “By doing the same thing you are”. What am I doing? You have stated this more than once and I am not sure what it is you think I am doing.

    Or another example is law enforcement. We have police officers doing their job enforcing the law and then we occasionally get a few that take their authority and use it unreasonably. They have beat and killed from anger or misguided thoughts. Also, gun owners face the same persecution for the...

    Obviously it is hard for you to relate to the Lord’s Word as you don’t see how it can even be used as a force for good. Instead let’s find something you can relate to so I can demonstrate this principle. Take Arborists for example: Certified Arborists are educated and tested on a set of...

    Exactly! This is a great example of how you cannot judge the entire group by the action of some. I believe your example perfectly captures the worst evils in this world, and that is doing something horrible and saying it is the Lord’s will. Obviously those people have troubles!

    It seems like many that are opposed here are more angry than disinterested. I wonder the reason for the anger. Was it some circumstance that you faced? Did you lose someone unfairly, and surely the Lord would never do that if he existed? Etc. etc. etc. I remark on how the greatest minds in...

    It is very interesting. The mentality of those contributing in this thread. God to some is no more real than the Easter Bunny, but to others there is Faith. Complete trust or confidence in this belief. Many look at this trust as being merely superstitious, but what is faith... I believe...

    This is the Akimbo

    I appreciate your explanation. I am aware of the frustration with the unicender and how it wears etc. I am a huge Rock Exotica fan and have met Morgan in person and I believe the unicender was ground breaking when it was first introduced. Now knowing more about single line friction solutions...

    This is the Akimbo

    I think I now know the real reason you keep changing your identity! You need to lighten up a bit. Also, why would you have purchased and used 5 or so unicenders if you hate them so much. Please think about what you are trying to achieve by posting publicly... you are not going to change...

    DMM throw hook.

    Why is it that sometimes my notifications get lost in translation... I should be getting notifications anyway as I have commented and am "watching" this thread, but even with the addition of you tagging me I got no notification for some reason. Now I stumble onto 5 pages that I am behind on...
