Oh, give me a break. You obviously haven't been paying much attention.

I stand by what I said. I have not seen it. Does that mean that people haven't? By no means.

Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't this statement be to "profess" or to "proclaim" God or the Lord? I thought confessing meant admitting one did something wrong. And if one is saying God is good, why would he or she "confess" the Lord?

No, it's a correct use of the word, the primary meaning of which to acknowledge, declare or admit. To confess that Christ is Lord is to acknowledge or declare that he is Lord. To confess one's sins is to acknowledge or admit one's sins.

What you wrote is one meaning of the word "confess". However, many words have multiple meanings depending on the context in which they are used. Also, in some translations of the bible, like the New King James Version for example, the word "confess" is used in Romans 10:9, which is what I was thinking about when I made my comment.

Thank you for the clarification. I have never heard "confess" used in that manner.

(No sarcasm at all, seriously)

Besides myself, I have not seen even one fairly active GC member openly confess the Lord. If there are other believers here, they are afraid to take a righteous stand. But, that's okay; there will be a day of reckoning because as Jesus said in Mark 8:28: "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." (NKJV)

So let the haters and naysayers do what they do. Shake 'em off, and don't make the mistake of getting drawn in and dragged down to their level. What God has for ITE is for ITE.

I'm a Christian. I'm the President of a local ministry, and have worked as Children's Ministry Coordinator and PR Coordinator for my church. I'm not afraid to say it. Nor am I afraid to say that I'm a PROUD member of Gamma Phi Beta and Gamma Sigma Sigma.

So I'm calling BS on this post.

Co-sign, sister!

Thank you. I was very offended by her holier than thou post.

As I often say, paragraphs and white space are a posters best friends.

I for one will not criticize your sorority. Do you.

And RozRochelle, there have been many GCers who have openly confessed their love for the Lord. In the appropriate forums and threads.

And as I have done elsewhere, I will openly confess that I am not a Christian. But I do believe in a Higher Power--sometimes.
I do have one question: why not rename yourselves Iota Omicron Eta? Theta translates to "th", Omicron translates to "o."

RozRochelle · #13 07-18-2007, 10:48 PM

I believe you and that's glad to know. I just hadn't seen it before now, that's all.

Just because I hadn't seen it didn't mean it didn't happen. I never made a blanket statement saying nobody on GC ever confessed the Lord. That would be offensive, because I can't speak for anyone else... and I didn't. I just said that I hadn't seen it, and at the time I posted, it was true. Why would that be cause for offense?

I made my point in my last post. And Heather's post is what I think most GC members who are Christians feel. This includes myself.
