Cooper

I challenge you to find an Apostolic Church and submit your life to God.

I challenge you to lose the bitterness that is so prevalent in your posts toward the UPC and pastors.

I challenge you to pray through and live for God while you have a chance.

I challenge you to make it through ONE day without spewing forth venom and hatred.

Why?

I am praying for Cooper. He has been hurt but I hope he considers me his friend. We all deal with hurt and bitterness in different ways. He is a nice person.

Amen!

Yeah really....

I challenge OPie to grow some compassion....

There is a challenge if accepted that would change Coop's life and the life of his family for the better. I would hope he would do that.

Now Ronnie, puleeze don't let yourself get in that judgemental mode like Coopy.

This challenge is real compassion.:thumbsup

I believe he challenged him out of compassion and love.

I hope Cooper listens and his heart heals.

oops, I posted at the same time..

Sure it was... :killinme

Let's all pray.

The problem with the "venom and hatred" thing is that to the "ultra-cons" if you dare question any of their logic or beliefs, then you are filled with venom and hatred... so it is very subjective.

As is most anything else... rebellious, heretical, believing a lie and being damned, and apostolic church just to name a few.

Thank you for seeing the true matters of the heart.

Another shot from the cheap seats.

Perhaps then, threads with titles like this appeal to you.

"Overseeing a Trinitarian Pastor" who does not baptize in Jesus Name at all.

"Apostolic Pastors take a Trinitarian Pastor to play Golf"

This thread simply offers balance to those threads.

Now Now.....

Shamey on you for questioning my motives.

:largehalo

Sorry friend, that was not a shot... that was an honest post from the heart... the fact that you see it as a "shot" is a "proof" for my previous post. I didn't see anything wrong with the "ask a trinitarian pastor to play golf" thread... I admit the "overseeing a trinitarian pastor" did not make much sense to me... that's like having someone from McDonald's supervising someone that works at Burger King.

back at you for Coop........

Your thread is no different than my comment...


Same lady... different pair of slacks...


:laffatu

I'd have to agree with ya, Brad... no surprise though.

Thanks BOOMM

I think the offer of asking someone to submit to God and a Pastor is something good for anyone on this board.

Get over the bitterness and move on. :thumbsup

I added more to my comments, if you are interested. And I pretty much have moved on, except that I interact here (which I broke down and started posting while I was out of town and now can't seem to stop. lol)

Cooper, consider visiting us in Brazil for a few weeks for a breath of fresh air...You would love my husband. He would be a blessing to your walk with the Lord. Come as a family if possible...your wife sure looks sweet.

If one disagrees, then he is in the cheap seats, couldn't that also mean that those with which he who disagrees with are in the cheap seats of those who disagree?

What do I know?

I am hateful and full of venom for wanting to show some compassion myself.

back at you for RIGHT....

Sure it is....

Different Gentleman.... same pair of slacks

:tease

Great analogy. :highfive

Do we have to call people names to get our point across? What ever happened to the law of kindness?

The argument sometimes gets old very quickly here.
:ranting

Sometimes the problem is greatest with the one in the mirror. Been there, got over that. :nod

Me too.

You're the president of the judgmental fraternity ......:laffatu

Danny!

Not you too.

I am crushed that you of all people would falsely accuse me of being judgemental.

Bump for Cooper

Somehow reading some of these posts reminds me of the old saying...

































Birds of a feather

Flock together.

I only had a problem with the last sentence... I think Cooper gets a bad rap because of the reputation he has made for himself... I do not believe that everything he posts is full of venom and hatred.

I respect the advice given in the rest of your post, even if I disagree that men need an official pastor to know God.

:laffatu (I clicked the wrong smiley)

:highfive THIS is the one I wanted.

Sorry Bro. It was a great post!

Thank you.

I'm too am sure that "everything he posts is NOT full of venom and hatred".

Bound to be some that aren't.

Coopy came.

He read.

He departed.
