did anyone hear the part from the recording of the last 6 screens conference call where johnny talked about a brother being "effeminate?
" johnny mentioned that he refers to this brother as "sister.
".
Judge Dread, so much for addressing the issue and instead calling me names
This whole thread is about assumption and labeling. If we went through anyones past posts with a magnifying
glass who would stand ? If you throws stones at someone why be surprised if you get hit in the head with a stone yourself ?

(guess I better start ducking right now )
so did anyone notice the statement on page 11, paragraph 11?
"if a brother has been baptized at least one year and to a reasonable degree meets the scriptural qualifications fo rministerial servants outlined at 1 timothy 3:8-13, he can be recommended for appointment.
" i thought paul specifically warned against appointing a "newly converted man"?
Desperate times and local needs calls for desperate actions. Also young new ones are eager to serve and much easier to mold.

the view held by christian theology is that god did not create evil.
you may argue this point using scripture to support either side.
however that argument is but a symptom of a much larger problem which is choice and free will.. the concept among christians is that sin, suffering, and evil deeds began with the original sin.
God could have created robots that do nothing more than forever say, "I love you, I love you, I love you." But such creatures would be incapable of a real love relationship.... In which case I don't think your initial question could even be conceived in your mind;this to me
would have be the greatest evil ever imposed on the human race !

"An all loving, all powerful, all knowing Being could permit as much evil as He pleased without forfeiting His claim to being all loving, so long as for every evil state of affairs He permits there is an accompanying greater good". The potential for love out weighs the existence of evil, especially if evil can only exist for a time. Evil is a side effect of love. Suffering and death are a side effect of evil (Romans 5:12).
God permits evil , but he has never endorsed it !

You gave the correct answer to your own question here...
Satan, using his option given by God, created evil.
evolutionists always claim that the reason why they believe in evolution and reject creation is due to "evidence".
they frequently use the opposite term "no evidence" in relation to any type of intelligent design, or creation, (and especially to genesis creation and flood history !).
their advocated beliefs always tend to include whatever is necessary to believe in to intellectually "explain" the existence of the universe, world, and its creatures without needing god).
bury their doubts. I have often heard people say on this site "Better to have questions you can't answer than answers you can't question "
Do these persons not have "doubts" about not knowing and continue searching as well, with some supposed measure of inner satisfaction ?
