• Should Christians Engage In Debate?

    From Jeff Snyder@1:345/3777 to All on Wed Jun 29 10:13:00 2011
    Hello everyone. I am pleased to announce the release of a new two-part
    article entitled "Should Christians Engage In Doctrinal Debates?". This new article provides a Scriptural background to explain why I personally strive
    to refrain from engaging in time-consuming, often-futile, divisive doctrinal debates. If you have ever wondered what the Christian attitude should be towards this subject, I encourage you to read this new article.

    You can download this new two-part article here from our Armageddon BBS in
    PDF format in the "Food For Thought" file directory. Simply use the filename "ShouldChristiansEngageDebat.pdf" at our "File Transfer Menu" after typing
    the letter "d".

    website -- www.endtimeprophecy.net -- or download it in PDF format from our website as well as on the "Articles In PDF Format" page.
