Rebuking him would have been one thing. But trashing Deacon to someone else showed contempt and basically disqualified the college buddy from rebuking him.

No, he had it coming.
EB is a pro at response, it was funny to me.

So by use of your reasoning, DB trashed this guy which shows contempt and basically disqualified himself from "showing the higher way" or whatever he claims the Lord told him to do.

Did the Lord tell DB to post accusations against this man? Surely this isn't the "higher way" the Lord meant.

Re: An Old "Friend" Seeking to Line Me Up

hmm. no names were named...might come under the category of "figuring it out" or whatever?

Things like assuming someone is 'lost' or outside the grace of God (backslidden) because they don't see things the way you do. I find this all rather hypocritical.

ahem.

On the other hand, his college buddy DID name names, going out of his way to call their mutual friend and trash DB. The mutual friend, who is still UPC, and who might actually share some of the concerns the college buddy has concerning DB, was so concerned that he felt like he should warn DB.

DB is the violated party here, not the college Buddy. Those of us who do not view everything through our politically correct UPC lenses understand this. Those who think DB is backslid think he deserves whatever he gets and do not apply equal laws of justice to his situation.

Not apples and oranges. And my response has nothing to do with the UPC or how I view DB.

But if this is how you want to justify it, whatever. Of course, God knows the names and His Word is pretty clear about backbiting, gossip, false witness and spreading lies.

Doesn't matter what AFF thinks of DB's post, but it does matter what God and His Word says. I challenge you to find anything in His Word which condones and justifies the OP. It's simply not there.

And yes, the college buddy is a violated party due to DB's accusations against him.
