Other than my memo of 1 January no one has added a comment since this essay was posted on 27 Dec 09? I want you to know I sent a copy of the declaration to the white house and invited the anointed to add his name. LOL. Last week, I forwarded the John Piper clip re' the sin of abortion. I'm certain my name is on FEMA's red list. Better red than the undead. We who signed this manifesto are willing to die for Christ than exist in a regime of neo Nero's lions and gladiators. awl 8,500 signatures added since 1 Jan 10.

The tumbler is now 315,000 +. If you do the math, the responses are running at a lesser rate, and Less than 2% of connected Christians have opted to sign it. I presume many bluenose Baptists are are cutting their schnozzles because of the participation of Roman and Orthodox Catholics churches. I maintain there are many true Christains in these organizations. As you, I discerned this was statement guided by the Holy Spirit. The declaration clearly embraces by beliefs. Of course, the doubters are always snickering behind our backs. They believe we who signed are apostates. I call them 'hair splitting intellectual elites'. They seem to think of themselves as 'Bereans'. They love to dissect the Word and seem to ignore the power of the Holy Counselor. They whine and groan because there are not enough quotes from the apostles. What is wrong with paraphrase if it truly reflects our faith? I have been tempted to ask these naysayers if they know how many angels can dance on a pin. If they offered a finite number, I would reply:'NONE'. Maybe they will ask why I know that. My second response: 'They are too big to sit on a pin, and they are too busy rescuing our butts from danger. I have been verbally castigated by these 'rebukers' for believing my discernment is ill founded, but my Redeemer dwells in my heart. The mighty Comforter has assured me that is so. awl I blazed my name on the document on 24 November when the count was less than 100,000 signers. The tumbler is now 315,000 +.
