Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.

We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

    Poor Gary. All these years and he never really learned how to think for himself.

      You are the one who said the majority of the society agreed. I simply pointed out that this was not true. I do not see anything in the constitution that even remotely deals with homosexuality. This is why I call liberal judicial activism. I allow you to dissent.

        Bottom line: You're on the wrong side of history, friend.

              I don't know why he thinks that's some sort of argument. He's repeated that before, "You're on the wrong side of history!!!" Uh, ok. As previously pointed out, it wouldn't be the first time the majority thought Christians were on the "wrong side". The church has a history of being condemned and persecuted for being on the "wrong side". If Gary really thinks that majority rule, and being on the "wrong side" of history is the be-all/end-all argument, why's he bothering to post? Presumably history will take care of itself. Instead, he's got a blog devoted to lashing out at Christianity, and jumps on his soapbox on any forum that will have him.

                I want to know why he opposes abortion then. I mean, abortion was made the law of the land therefore, it should be seen as right obviously and if it's the will of the majority then since it's the law of the land, opposing it means he's on the wrong side of history.

                Never mind that I find it amazing that in addition to all he believes, we can now add in predicting the future.

                  Seems to me that anybody born on any given day is on one or the other wrong side of history.

                  Gary isn't as deep a thinker as he thinks he is.

                    So you say. In the long run however . . .

                        Conservative Christianity in the United States has fought every advance in human rights in our history beginning with the abolishment of slavery, to equal rights for women, abolishment of Jim Crow and segregation, and now gay rights.

                        One hundred years from now your great grandchildren will look back at your comments on the internet and hang their heads in shame.

                          Yeah.....

                          You ever read anything about the Civil War period and what was behind slavery over here and who was the main impetus to ending it? You ever read about who ended it in the medieval period?

                          Try reading books. You might learn something.

                            Why read books? Everything you read on the internet that supports your POV is true!
                            Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

                              Yes. Reading books is just way too hard and too time-consuming.

                              You know, unlike spending all day posting on the internet.

                                Gary, your grasp on modern history is as bad as your grasp on ancient history. The abolitionist, suffrage, and Civil Rights movements were all spearheaded by Christians and Christian organizations.

                                My faith and obedience isn't to my great grandchildren, it's to my living Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I'm not moved by changing doctrinal, political and social winds. Wringing my hands about what my great grandchildren might think of my stand on my faith is meaningless knowing that 200 years from now my great great great grandchildren might hang their heads in shame of my great grandchildren.
