Old Paths II is...
 
How many think OPII is a real person, not putting on this persona just to yank chains? Does anyone have any evidence that he is real?

Don't have any evidence that he isn't.

I know he got very upset when someone accused him of that, even to the point, for a few minutes, of giving his name and where he was from! Then someone told him how to delete his name! Who knows?

What about his posts and threads? They don't seem real. It's as if someone is playing a joke.

Yes, I have noticed some think he is. I have no evidence to the contrary.

Really? So there is some evidence that he is real. May he be comforted.

So you've never seen someone come on a forum and post things just to yank chains and stir the pot? You believe that Old Paths II is sincere in his assertions and judgments and condemnations of everyone that doesn't believe like him?

What a sad statement it is when the reaction to someone who is simply standing up for traditional apostolic values, is, "Oh, he must be a fraud."

OPII,
You've come on here pretty strong for some Conservative issues.
Some times a Lib will assume a new screen name and post stuff like that just to stir up strife.
If you are really posting your conscience, don't back down, but you might be able to tone down some of the rhetoric. Ephesians 4:15 talks about "speaking the truth in love." Some times we (both libs and cons) fall out of that mode.

Well, I posted what I think true love is and that didn't go over so well. But I'm trying to be nice but I just wasn't aware that posting the basics of the traditional apostolic faith would stir up such a fuss and get me in such trouble.

OPII, we keep trying to tell you, it's not WHAT you are saying, it's HOW you're saying it. We wish you would understand that.

It just so happens that with the way you are saying it, many others with pseudo names have come before you and done the same. Hence the suspicion.

We hope you'll hang around long enough to dispel everyone's suspicions and to realize you are not being 'persecuted' for your beliefs, just your attitude. :D

He's real.

I believe he is as real as anyone else on this board.

I have no problem believing he's genuine and believes exactly what he posts.

I hope you stay around OPII. :)

I am almost convinced he's not a poser. :) If he's not, it will be mildly interesting to see how long he can take the heat in this kitchen.

OK, OP,

a couple of thoughts about your choice of the word "traditional" in conjunction with the words "apostolic faith."

"Apostolic" means many things to many different people. There is an "official" definition of "Apostolic" here but it is quite broad. What you may consider "traditional apostolic faith" is not seen as such by others who consider themselves "apostolic."

Another thought about "traditional," see Mark 7:1-23 for Jesus' struggle with those who stood for the "traditional" Jewish faith. Tradition had superseded and replaced the "spirit" of the Scriptures and much of the stuff that passes today for "Apostolic standards, doctrine, and practice" has that same connotation to many of us who consider ourselves "Apostolic."

But, after saying all that, we don't want you to leave. Hang around and keep posting. Some of us will make fun of you, some of us will criticize you, and some of us will curse you, and some of us will agree with you.

We can see whether or not he is another poster pretending to be someone else. But not whether he's just a liberal pretending to be a conservative. ;)

The MRS answered yes but that's not all together true. Our church has 6 computers all with the same IP add. with 6 different users. I was banned when one of the 6 users came on this site and called coadie on something he said.

That's funny...

I was once banned for false doctrine. An administrator at the time misunderstood my comments about the work of the cross effectively forgiving all men of all past sin in all ages. Maybe it was the way it was worded that he misunderstood and then banned me for promoting Universalism, which was the furthermost thing from my mind. :lol If he ever saw his mistake, he never apologized for it.

Hey, hey...go easy on the 'untrue' verbage. I don't take kindly to being thought of as untruthful. :foottap

The 'altogether truth' is that we can see if a member posts with different usernames, and which IP they are posting from. If there are 6 members posting from the same IP we are going to assume they are the same person/family unless told otherwise.

If you visit another AFF member's home and login and post from there, it will create an association as well.

The ban you experienced would have been an IP ban, so yes, all would be affected. That's not something we normally do unless we suspect a banned member is being naughty and trying to get back into the forum while banned. :winkgrin

Seriously?? So you all can trace each user? Wow, I didn't know George Orwell was running this place! That's kind of creepy. But I suppose with all the crazies out there you all have to do what you do. Well, I've said that I'm from Missouri and I spend a lot of time in the St. Louis area and that's where I am now, so use your 1984 system and see if it's true. I do, however, travel a lot so I'm not always there.

If I get to the place that I don't get ripped to shreds everytime I log on and I don't feel like I've been treated like the anit-Christ, I'll share what it is I've done in business and how I've translated that to ministry and followed God's call.

But your going to have to be nice to me!:foottap

Wasn't the case and didn't try to get back in. Adm.was told didn't do any good. Sometimes the truth hurts.

J/k, my brother.

Anyway, I would like to hear all about you.

Go ahead and share how you minister.
Don't wait until we promise to play nicely though or you'll never get to share.
