An old preacher once told a group of young preacher " learn to deal with the world the way it is, not the way you think it should be"
In past years men put names on different groups. Even before I was born.
They are not going away. We can not change that fact.
We must learn to deal with.:cool:

Well thank you for that wisdom, but I never said ANYTHING about changing ANYTHING. Just stated my opinion on labels, so YOU WIN since even agreeing with you doesn't even seem to work with you, so you officially win this argument, or conversation, or whatever it was. Happy? Can we be friends now?

It's strange how we can assume the worst sometimes.

One more thing, you should read my testimony before preaching to me about accepting the world for what it is. It just so happens He's given me advanced lessons on that subject I can assure you brother.
I mean that too, here it is My testimony to Gods glory in my life. It's long but worth a read.

I did not say ACCEPT the world the way it is, I said DEAL with the world the way it is.
I learned a long time ago that there were some things that I could not change.
All these man made denominations was one of them.
Therefore, I spend my time trying to change the things that I may have some success in.
At my age, I honestly believe that my time is to valuable to waste it on what I believe is a lost cause.
If I offended you, I am sorry. I was not trying to preach to you, but let you know where I stand on this issue.

Just a few thoughts from an old man that has been trying to serve his Savior for over 52 years now.
Study the Word with an open mind. Be willing to allow the Word to change your mind. The Word has changed my mind many times over these years.

Much of what I was taught as a young believer was not completly true even thought those who taught me were good men who were just wrong in their understanding.

I am a Landmark Baptist by choice because I believe what is taught in MOST Landmark Baptist churches in more in line with what Jesus taught than other churches teach. So I must defend my church.
If your faith in what your church teaches, regardless of the name, is not strong enough to defend it, then should you really be a part of that church.
I am never offended when some one defends his church, but am concerned when I honestly believe that person is being taught thing contray to the truth.
We live in a time where many congregation with many different names teaching many different things.
Does God approve of this? No!
Are we able to change this? No, I don't believe we can, so I just deal with this as a reality and not let it worry me.
God will deal with it in His good time.
We each have a responsibility to study and KNOW the truth and not just accept what we are taught regardless of the teacher's credentials.

Listen to what they have to say and then study for yourself.

NOT preaching, just saying what is on my mind with love for Jesus and all His children.:cool:

I agree with you, I would also, one last time, like to restate the ONLY point I’ve made this whole time. Our denominational labels alone, before anything else is said or considered, is enough to cause divisions. That's my only point, before any beliefs or doctrines are mentioned the label alone is enough for some to divide. I have made no claims on any denomination being right or wrong, just simply pointed out that once you associate yourself with and/or define yourself by the name of a denomination, it by definition makes different groups. The body is called to be one, agreed? I am not saying we should compromise any of our beliefs, nor accept anything we feel is not true, only that these labels alone cause division all by themselves. Make sense? That has been my only point this whole time, and I even state it is just my personal opinion from what I see. I'm not sure how that ended up in all this back and forth, but I still stand 100% by my point.

I do want to say that I see your point of view as well, and to be honest I don’t see where your view and mine clash at all, and would also like to thank you for the conversation.

Also I guess my “One more thing, you should read my testimony before preaching to me about accepting the world for what it is.” comment came off wrong before. I didn’t exactly mean it like I didn’t want to hear any of your personal views or anything like that. I guess I worded it wrong, and was really just trying to share my testimony so you could get a better feel for where I’m coming from. I appreciate your “preaching”, and thank you for taking time to speak with people and clarify what you meant. Hope you have a good "rest of day".
