isms schisms and more

Since the fall of man, there has been the ridiculous need for men to hold others in bondage to their opinions of what God has said. In the garden, this tactic was used by Satan who deceived Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit and disobey the commands of God. We know how that ended. We also see Cain taking his agenda out against his brother because his opinion didnt match up with what he wanted God to accept. All through the Old Testament we see MAN trying to force others into their mold. When Christ came on the scene, his disciples pointed out the fact that there were others who did not follow in their camp but were preaching. They wanted Christ to silence them. Christ would not be a good baptist because he basically said "if they aren't against us they are for us." Christ understood the truth that there are others who do not have to agree 100% with our opinions and operations for them to still be preaching the truth. I dont care if one is an Independent Fundamental Baptist or if they are a Bible believer who is of a non-denominational church. Fact is, if they preach the truth and practice it with a humble heart- I am fine with them. It is interesting that the matter of ecclesiastical separation doesn't matter when it comes to fundraisers or music preference. The "Good Ol' boys club" needs to break up and honesty in the IFB ranks must prevail. WHO CARES if someone breaks "rank" from the teachings of Peter Ruckman or of B.R. Lakin? Did you know that DISPENSATIONALISM was made popular by James Darby? Yep, the guy who "tampered" with the Word of God. All I can tell you is that dispensationalism is not a fundamental tenant of the faith and falls under the category of doubtful disputations. I guess it all goes back to the statement "the fear of man bringeth a snare." It will be a long time before I ever side with a worthless lazy, dishonest, unethical, sidewinder of a missionary who does absolutely nothing but park his blessed assurance on the edge of his desk chair while his ministry consists of his family and NO outreach or personal evangelism to shake a stick at. Somethings bad wrong with IFB and don't intend on being part of it much longer.
