see, you are getting there! I am proud of you honey, making steps :) hehe.
I feel sorry for you that you don't take God's word seriously. I can't imagine making fun of something our Creator ordained. You should find a new job.
Former Rochester Member
Dear anonymous:
I believe strongly in baptism...thanks for the encouraging words.
If you would like to identify yourself, I'd be happy to discuss anything you'd like.
I don't get it. How is Ben Wallace making fun of God's word? It looks like a clean block to me.
Whoa! A minister with a sense of humor! And from the C of C too. I am truly impressed, although these were not the pictures I was promised. I think you might have been right though. You abandoned your demographic for one post and look what happens! I guess you'll go back to using lots o' words and I'll go back to the Harrison's blog :)
I can see why the person would be upset as a COC member, but I think that middle post sympathizes what many non-COC'ers have thought in their head even though they haven't spoken it aloud. I think the former RC member took it too seriously as it looks like a joke.
Vanessa,
This blog was for you. I hope you're happy now.
Thanks for causing an internet theological debate.
Just kidding. It was great to see you on Saturday. Kara and I had fun.
David,
Yes, I meant it as a joke...and to show how some outside of the CoC might feel.
For the record, I do not water down baptism (pun intended), I think it is increasingly important the more and more Christianity becomes less of a power in this country, that we have physical visible demonstrations of God's work and grace in our lives. Baptism is the confession of all confessions and the space where God has room to do great things.
Wow, anonymous. For someone who seems to be so disheartened by the teachings and general goings-on at Rochester, you certainly seem to be pretty obsessed with following all of our blogs...
p.s. I think I laughed harder at that baptist sign than I have at anything I've seen all day. :)
Now that former members like that are, uh, FORMER, Rochester is a wonderfully happy, faithful, loving place, isn't it!
Patrick - there was no need for that post. There were MANY before you who helped turn Rochester into the GREAT place that it is now, and even though I do not agree with Mr. Anonymous, and I understand the humor, you should have let it go. For all we know Mr. Anonymous may have played a role in the success of Rochester.
How do we feel about gays in the ministry?
Anonymous:
I am going to assume that your question is sincere.
It's a topic of much discussion in Christian churches today.
There are several great books I can suggest to read on the subject if you are interested.
Thanks Josh. My question is very sincere and I would love to check into some of the books you have on the topic.
