So you accept TBN and Jan % PAUL as being christians and representative of your god?
I can't say one way or the other. I never really paid them much attention, but their network shows programs that I do like such as Andrew Wommack and Charles Stanley.

jeffbase,
I'm going off topic here a bit because I asked you a question on another thread and was really hoping to hear your thoughts on it. I'm sincerely interested Since you never responded there, I just wanted to ask again:
\You essentially made the claim that people who didn't accept the 100% inerrancy/historical validity of The Bible as "enemies of the Word" (perhaps you said "enemies of Christ"...I don't remember precisely.
There are millions of Christians who view portions of The Bible (Adam and Eve, Noah's ark, etc.) as largely allegorical and symbolic.
So, my question was: do you consider these people also "enemies?" Or do you consider them not "true Christians?"
In Jeff's position, I'd either answer with a question ("What will be your excuse when Jesus comes in Power?") or evasion ("God will know his own. I'm not the judge".
Or he could simply ignore it. When betting on Christian craftiness, the coin has three sides.

It's relevant as another thread there is a long discussion about the viability of another christian theme park, one that puts taxpayers dollars at risk. It adds to evidence that these 'attractions' are first of all questionable ventures, and second of all, should they get any tax benefits at all. The Holy Land Experience was able to get itself declared a "ministry" and as such, was tax exempt.
Why should it have got an advantage over Disneyworld or Universal Studios or Legoland?
We all are aware how suspect the Ken Ham monstrosity, his Ark Encounter, is from a financial perspective. But let's focus on another christian theme park, the Holy Land Experience. It has one huge advantage over Ham's folly, and that is Location, Location, Location. It is only 3 miles (2.9 to be exact) from Universal's Orlando Resort and 10 miles from Disneyworld. In Orlando, where 62 million, read that again, 62 MILLION tourist visited in 2014.
Wow...
All the insanity of fundamentalist religion, combined with the garish tackiness of a theme park.
Could it possibly get any worse? Probably. Maybe the guide is one of those Duck Dynasty guys...
I can't say one way or the other. I never really paid them much attention, but their network shows programs that I do like such as Andrew Wommack and Charles Stanley.
So you consider their theology to be christian based?
And you would then view their theme park as being directed / built under their god's encouragement?
