[> [> [> Subject: Re: Diatribe Author: MarkM [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:26:19 04/17/03 Thu Hi Diatribe, welcome! I too appreciate peoples candor, and when people understand that message boards (as with this one) are FORUMS. Forums: © 2003 by Merriam-Webster: "A public meeting place for open discussion c : a medium [as with a Internet message board] of open discussion or expression of ideas.... a public meeting or lecture involving audience discussion" I hope this message board will serve as a good medium for discussion. My hopes are that it will be a place of intelligent discussion and not a place that breaks down into rude name calling during such discussion. I understand full well that the topic of religion is one of deep personal experience, and when a doctrine one holds is challenged, often people take it as a personal attack. This can cause a break down in communication resulting in quick reactions and then rude name calling. May we all be a little thick-skinned, be forgiving, and ask for forgiveness when our emotions get the best of us and they will sometimes. Now about: "...what would real non-denominationalism look like.." I understand a true nondenominational Church is one that stands alone, that it is not connected to a net-work of other local churches, who all agree on a set statement of faith or stated doctrines. Most often people think of it as being churches not affiliated with the major Christian denotations. RE: "...difference between 'interfaith' and 'non-denominationalism.." ))snip(( Much of what is referred to as "nondenominational" is actually "interdenominational". So what's the difference? "Interdenominational" accepts all beliefs, "Nondenominational" rejects all man-made doctrines and strives to follow only what the Bible teaches. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I didn't find you in the UCFM roaster, so I wonder what your association is with UCFM - if any. Care to share some background? (If that is your real name!) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Randy I hope ..... Author: MarkM [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:40:02 04/17/03 Thu ...."HELP's" use of the word -weird- did not upset you to much. I debated deleting, but that would have deleted your reply’s also and I did not want to do that. Therefore, I made my little speech about Forums and us not breaking down into name calling and that we need to be a little thick-skinned when posting in forums. You OK?
