Alright thanks. I read their website and theres no endorsement of wife beating, but it's not as if they would openly endorse that.
The same advice holds true for conservatives who leave the street fighting to the rest of us.
compromisers in doctine?
Ridiculous. Why can't a person be a nice guy and still be a warrior? My definition of a nice guy is exactly that. A guy who believes in God, justice, America and the family.
A person who isn't a nice guy is the guy who acts tough by beating his wife and kids. He's the coward who expects the govenment to take over his problems.
The guy who isn't a nice guy is on "COPS" being tossed into the police car while his bloody wife is standing outside her trailer.
this is exactly what men need to hear....that their mission, their role, their vocation if you will here on earth is to be the leaders, and that means the leaders of character and courage as well.....
and let's face the fact that the coming confrontations with the Islamists will require a great deal of steadiness and courage under fire, both literally and figuratively...
Yes, but only with their KJV Bible. < / sarcasm >
Are you serious or just being sarcastic?
Interesting figment.. However it leads to the question, "What the hell is a christian ?"... Some christians are socialists <--meaning slavery by government.. March one of them "christians".. out here... and let's get at look at em'...
Which doctrine?
Which fundamentals of the faith are they compromised on?
What's Compromised ??
No, I'm serriouse.
I live in NY, need I explain futher?
We truly are a post Christian nation.
I'm sure King David needed a analysis at least twice a year to make sure he wasn't being a couch potato.
No, the real test is does it make better MEN ? The rest will follow.

Good point. We sure got a lot of bleeding deacons on this thread. Not many Christians, though.
Moral Absolutes Ping.
I might be interested in reading the book if it came my way. Jesus Christ's message, from my reading, calls all of us - men and women alike - to be warriors for the truth.
Regarding male and female roles, much of what passes for behavior currently is miserable attempts to thwart nature's laws. And the effects are disastrous. Men are being emasculated and weakened, and women are trying to be men; everyone's exploiting each other, thus hardening their hearts.*
Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
*Speaking in cultural generalizations, obviously.
Yes please explain.....
As For Promise Keepers,
FAQ, Their web site;
What does PK think the role of women should be?
The role of women is not a topic we address at our events; however, we do believe husbands are called to love their wives just as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25).
Promise Keepers believes that men and women are completely equal at the foot of the cross. Paul writes in Galatians 3:28, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." As we continue to pursue reconciliation in the body of Christ, we believe unity in Christ transcends ethnic, social, and gender distinctions.
Just How many "Wife Beating" Promise Keepers do you know ?
And Rosa Parks dared to sit in the wrong section of the bus......
Exactly, and she was a woman! What we need warriors to do today is battle with us, this depraved, anti-human culture that is being thrust on us and our kids in school!!
Unless we want to just sit by and allow it to continue. They get what they want by lobbying and making the most noise, we need to start making more!!
While this is needed, society bashes men who are men and not wimps, so without support this movement will not fly.
I think as soon as a few stand up, many more will with him. You will not want for support, if you are fighting the good fight!
