cervyy...
You asked the question, I thought I finally answered it as plainly for anyone to understand. You don't have to agree with it, but can you at least have some respect to others when you post?

You know as Christians we could argue it on the same logic, of a person like yourself saying you won't believe it because its in the bible.
Anyway mate, its getting late here so I am going to bed, but I will keep you in my prayers.

josh, in a late response to your question, yes i would yell. now that i think about it, it is in regards to physical life. women yell for help when they are raped, people yell 'fire' when a building is burning to the ground. people yell in danger, period. however, yelling at someone while they are walking around and in danger of nothing is only an annoyance.
people go to bars to drink. people go to strip clubs to see nude women. people go to gay bars, rallies, and associations to meet others like them as a social activity.
people do not go to places of 'sin' to hear preaching, they go to churches. let christianity stay where it belongs, in a church.

Yelling at someone who isn't in danger is stupid, but the problem is the world is running towards the cliff in danger of losing their soul. So yes, I will yell, and warn people to turn from sin. Now as for Christianity belonging in a church, I would disagree 100% with that, since it wasn't until 222 AD that the first church building was built. So before that time the church was in the public arena. So if we are to follow the biblical method of church, then we are to go everywhere to preach the gospel.

It will never happen. Sorry.

Fellow Aussies,
Has anyone heard anything about 'our' $1,000,000 tracts?
RevK, I don't believe you preach a sissified gospel either.
I think the problem is that GNN (sorry, some on GNN) are very quick to close down and condemn any doctrinal discussions or exposing false teachers that may(?) cause division.
I agree getting the gospel right is the most important thing but doctrine is also very important. This is why I enjoy this board so much because we are free to discuss and debate without censure, as long as we remain civil and after lengthy debate we can agree to disagree.

That statement is true, but I'm not sure it is a problem. The organization is evangelism centered and very interdenominational. The board was created specificly so that people could communicate about evangelism and the are extremley clear when you sign up that there is no doctrinal and divisive discussions allowed.
I will say that the GNN staff is very interested in doctrinal discussion and debate, it's just a decision that was made not to do so on the board. Honestly, I find it somewhat irritating when folks sign up, agree not to discuss those things on the board, do it anyway, and then act like they have been oppressed and/or censored when a topic is locked, or they are asked to cut it out. Nothing wrong with following their own rules....right?
I do enjoy having the opportunity to be part of this board as I grow so much from the discussions.

Fellow Aussies, Has anyone heard anything about 'our' $1,000,000 tracts? Yup, they are perfectly legal. Although in my suburb a person used one to buy grog, and now the police have that million, the cops had a good laugh over it. So keep using the Aussie millions, they are alot better than the others

RevK,

Would you like to retract that comment...since I am not on the GNN message board for the very same reasons I have outlined previously.

DocH, the "they" in my comment was not referring to you at all. I have no idea whether you are or have ever been a member of GNN. I am referring to the ones that DO sign-up for GNN under the agreement of not discussing certain things and then discuss them anyway. When they do that, they make themselves liars because they have not followed the rules for the GNN MB that they said they would. Sorry if that wasn't clear...God Bless DocH!
