[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 560278, member: 2189"] No Moreluck but the problem is easily found at the events website. Do I need to spell it out for you? Go look at the website where under the article Roman Road it quotes from the book of Romans with extensive quotes about Jesus Christ not GOD! Check out the musical entertainment in that all are Christian and I've got nothing against that as my daughter plays bass for a church band and one of her good musician friends has done roadie work for Barlow Girls and Switchfoot. The fact is, these bands have a very distinct message about Jesus, not God in general, so again, based on what the Air Force is saying, I understand their point. Under the About icon under mission, it becomes most obvious IMO. [B]The Mission of the God and Country Festival[/B] [URL="http://godandcountryfestival.com/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&pop=1&page=0&Itemid=28"][IMG]http://godandcountryfestival.com/templates/ja_zibal/images/printButton.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://godandcountryfestival.com/index2.php?option=com_content&task=emailform&id=13&itemid=28"][IMG]http://godandcountryfestival.com/templates/ja_zibal/images/emailButton.png[/IMG][/URL] Friday, 13 April 2007 Our mission is primarily about spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. We believe this Festival, started in 1967, is an incredible tool to share this Good News by strengthening the fabric of our society through our connection to family and country. We want to encourage believers everywhere to get out in their communities, not just to strengthen each other, but to encourage family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to learn more about who Jesus Christ is and what He's done for each and every one of us. To borrow a phrase from Michael Boerner of Mission Media, [INDENT] [I]In order to witness to people, you have to do the following:[/I] [LIST] [*][I]Bless people[/I] [*][I]Fellowship with them[/I] [*][I]Meet their needs[/I] [*][I]Present the Truth[/I] [/LIST]Now you may take a trinitarian POV and see Jesus as God and therefore the words God and Jesus in your mind are interchangeable but not all see it that way. Air Force at this time seems to echo that as well. I'm not denying what these folks are trying to do isn't wholesome and worthwhile and from their POV I'm sure they only mean the best and want everyone to have the best. I can and do appreciate that. But the fact is, had they not been so overt and maybe this year they were verses years past, I'd bet the 43rd year of this event would be like the last 42. Now if you or they can show that this language has not changed over time and they are doing nothing now that they didn't do last year, you've got a legit beef and also if you can find any case that the military doesn't treat other faiths in equal fashion, you point it out and I'm right there with you all the way. And I'm betting a certain other poster here would be the same way! [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
