It happens occasionally. I don't believe it's a hack, though.

Psalm 9:17- The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. America is in the bible.

I think in America it would be change for the better. America hasn't fallen that far away from her roots yet, IMO.

I'm not sure about this. It can swing either way. I think persecution and rejection can be ratcheted up too. Depends on how wicked the nation is those Christians reside in.

Any man like Osteen with a perpetual smile on his face I don't trust. Reminds me of the "Smile Mask Syndrome".

I really don't care about the different camps. Believe you me, I really don't. Sometimes I'll go on the defense of a preacherchurchbible college because I know for a fact that they are being misrepresented or I try to give them the benefit of the doubt (like in the case of Caner). I tend to root for the underdogs anyway and anyone being piled on is an underdog in my eyes. I also sometimes will defend someone who's writings or ministry has helped me personally but it's purely on that basis that I do that. Not because I'm joined up with any camp. I admit in the past I've knocked on Dr. Cloud without really knowing all what he stands for. Most of this was because I know he misrepresented other ministries and pastors but I have since stop doing this and remain silent about him. Also, I think tearing down a fallen preacher or church is not productive unless they are unrepentant. But even then I try to avoid it because the unsaved and backsliders take joy in seeing this. They love seeing Christians devour each other in a time of need instead of restoring. I really mean this but it hurts me deeply when I hear of a IFB preacher falling into sin and even more when I read some of the gleeful posts produced by Christians when this happens. It should be a time of humility and mercy not a time of mockery and cheering.

I'm glad I really don't care about what goes on in different circles of the IFB movement. I guess that makes me a true independent.

Despite the denial you are correct. I know of one who used to moderate on this site who would shot down every pastor who wasn't him. My policy is that you can get something good from just about every man of God. Even bible correctors. Just toss out the bad and use the good. This will help you avoid joining any "camps".

I'll go with Dr. James Ach.

Anyone who posts after me thinks the New Living Translation is awesome and Rick Warren is spot on.

Time for them to get rid of the TV and internet.

Anyone who posts after me hates their mother, loves Hitler, denies the Holocaust, loves blood pudding, kicks their dog daily, thinks the Living Bible is the original manuscripts and believes Obama is a US citizen.

I don't think she did. This is why she seemed surprised when Samuel showed up.

Honestly, I wouldn't care what they were. There's a false assumption that they knew more of the truth because they were part of the early church but this isn't so. Also, there's a false assumption that they knew all the truth because they were part of the early church. Nothing to support this but pure conjecture. The only reason I would point out what they believe is to expose another false assumption, that John Darby "invented" pretribulationalism and the rapture. It's in the bible no matter who "invented" the doctrine.

Waste of time. They're on the most part a bunch of mockers and gainsayers. I would be a better stewardship of your time to teach someone the scripture who wants to learn it.
