Hey, maybe I missed something, but as far as I can tell, Nell's main concern is for the "spiritual" side of what Cahn had presented in the address that morning. To be sure, some of his speech that morning was filled with all sorts of "raw, raw, let's go get em" kind of hype....but I didn't hear any "let's go hang all the homosexuals" or "let's make America a Christian theocracy". And to be sure, let's give our sister Nell the benefit of the doubt that she is not a proponent of any such thing(s). Let's not impugn things to her that she has not even faintly proposed.
And for you guys out there who are whining about me "protecting a woman",...oh just go put a sock in it, will you. Nell can handle herself quite well as I'm sure most of you can see. She doesn't need me or any of us men out here to assist her in any way.
Discuss, and even argue WHAT SHE HAS POSTED AND NOT WHAT SHE HAS NOT POSTED OR EVEN IMPLIED.

UntoHim,
Here's what I continue to question: Why is this kind of "discipline" necessary? This is a forum where Christians come to discuss a topic related to Christian issues, right? Yet the men who do the majority of the posting behave like a pack of attack dogs when someone presents a topic with which they disagree. Then, these Christian men have to be warned against "flaming" another member; warned against straw-man arguments. A Christian man is whining because he believe you are "protecting a woman". Me. Nell. Is he reading his own words?
Then OBW comes up with this:
"Sounds extremely gnostic. Very different from the teachings of Christ."
THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST? When did you become concerned about the teachings of Jesus Christ? Did Jesus Christ teach you how to speak to me on this forum? What hypocrisy!
Unto, I'm not telling you something you don't know. The reason people don't post on this forum is because of this kind of garbage...poor treatment by Christian men with a pack mentality who say one thing and do another. People are driven away from posting on this forum in many cases because they have been hurt enough, or, because they don't have the heart to take on the pack.
