From the Keyboard of NLYP
 

To my fellow posters,
I am who I am.......
I am consistent with who I am....I do not change with the crowd and to KNOW me is to either love me or hate my guts...really there is no middle ground.
I have been chewed up and spit out and I have done the chewing and the spitting as well. I can go at it with the best of you and both give and take a good beating.
I Love this truth....I love this Gospel...I love this Org and I love my brethren.
Even in the midst of love, sometimes there arises frustration...but my love does not waver.
Over the last day or so, an exchange between me and Wholehearted climaxed with my being quite verbal about my feelings for him and his style of thinking.
This is not so much an apology for what I said to him, but the chance for me to be a man and say that I could have handled it better and not done it publicly.
I am, as it may shock many of you a "Liberal UPCer" and I say that with pride and with no reservation at all. I have friends , GOOD FRIENDS, that are "Moderate UPCers and Conservative UPCers and yes even Rapid Ultra Communistic Conservative. I Celebrate ALL factions of the UPCI and the men that God is using mightily to bring revival into this last day.
I find there is safety in being a "Liberal" because I don't have to ........, or condemn or ridicule anybody for what they believe....Ill take them as they are.
Now, there may be times that I VEHEMENTLY disagree with them and yes even argue with them, but NEVER will I let our disagreements turn into reasons to question if we should fellowship or not.
Ill take you as you are and I will not force what I think an Apostolic should be. The problem I have is that the "other" guys refuse to celebrate my triumphs, my revivals and my walk with God, which FORCES them to take on what I consider to be a Pharisaical Spirit. THAT I cannot stomach!
I have had my fill of TV or no TV, trimmed hair or no trimmed hair, light makeup or no makeup....The bottom line is this...are you ready...this is deep......

'Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God...But he that loveth not knoweth not God for God is Love"

The greatest commandment was simply.....LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

Not change one another...love them!
If you are Mod. LIB, con or UC....there is room for all of us...we are the church.....WE...US.....think about we DO need each other!
I do humbly ask that if any of you were hurt, offended or surprised by my post yesterday, that you find it in your heart to extend grace and forgiveness to me.
I don't EVER want to see....the church become cookie cutter Christians.
I LOVE our diversity......

I respect each of you.......and yes would help ANYBODY on here that really needed me...thats what a family does.....I celebrate with you and cry with you and laugh with you.
One of the best friends I have in this world is much more conservative than I, and yes we have some knock down drag outs...BUT he is my friend...and we have one common bond....THE BLOOD!!!!!
Period and checkmate to the devil that would love to divide the church!

Love yall....really I do..
I would ask that we ALL strive for "peace with all men, and holiness"....we too often forget the first part of that verse.

Bro. Dan

I still love you Dan.. and I will even fellowship with you.... even if you don't take me hunting or invite me to participate in your funeral (if you get shot) and you live 20 miles away and haven't been to lunch with me yet and you expect me to come to DQ to see you!

oh and by the way, this is one your best posts EVER! :)

Thanks my friend....I love you as well....and am enjoying the time I spend with your mother very much...what a true Godly Christian Lady!
ALL you have to do is tell me when you are in the area.....

I am no where near to being an UC, but your word picture here is really U-G-L-Y, seriously U-G-L-Y. To equate a brother or sister that has strong views on standards as a Death Camp Nazi is ludicrous at best. And borders on vile. As to the communistic label, that just laughable, cause commies are hard left leaning. You say you Love, but these words seem to say different.

You might want to ease up on the vitriol, when showing the love! :nod

Love Yah!

Would you give me a HUGE BREAK!! I knew somebody would come in and try to destroy what I was trying to say...I am shocked it was you!
Was using EXTREMES...it was a figure of speech....Referring to the Control of the Germans.And was said VERY TIC!

Sit back..take a breath and read what I said.....I addresed the WHOLE scope.

OK BOOM I did it just like you said. I hit the little report post button in the corner. Let me know what you admin types intend to do.

:)

See ya

You sure get riled up ease.......:killinme:killinme:killinme

I read what you wrote to him the other day and I read what you've written here. Honestly, I think what you wrote the other day is the real you and not what you are showing us today. You did what you always do, you went way overboard in going off on someone. Sorry, but I am not buying what you are selling today.

It's good that your are passionate about what you believe, and it is good that you are sensitive to what your words have wrought.

What does NLYP stand for? Can I start another poll with guesses?

Just disgraceful.

Like I said....this was NOT an Apology...YOU have no clue of the "Real" me and I didnt ask you to "buy" anything. As a matter of fact what I said is not for sale, so dont expect me to sell out on it.

Are all Canadians this difficult?:sly

The highlighted part is the problem.

Your actions speak louder than your words.

Dan,

I thought it was a good post. I did not read what you posted to WH, so I can't comment on that.

To all: The communist phrase should easily be seen to be TIC and to make a point. Lighten up. This is the real Dan.

Dan, I'll forgive you for not coming to see me... To get to Clovis, you have got to be coming here, and it ain't anywhere near any other place you'd want to go. :D

Thanks Bro....
uhhh by the way...what is Clovis?

Some folks will jump no matter what I say.......it proves my point exactly....its more about "agenda" and "control" then it is about truth.

You have never seen my actions....
Ask the men on here that I have preached for....and others that know me personally. Are you actually saying you NEVER say things and then back up and admit you could have said them better?
What if you were judged by your words.......hmmm wouldnt that bite the big one.

I've seen your actions on these forums, NLYP. You aren't new to AFF, ya know. It's not so much the words, but the viciousness you can display that I am talking about. I've seen it more than once and I've seen you start threads like this one more than once. Whether it's fair or not you are a preacher and preachers' actions get judged differently than others' actions. I'm not defending WH, because he showed a rotten attitude too, and I expect more from his as a preacher as well.

You a preacher?

Not any more. I used to have a prison ministry.

So....what qualifies you to say when to judge or comment on the action of ministry...or worse yet...the "perceived" words and actions of the ministry?
I know a scripture that comes to mind....."Touch not mine Annointed".

NYLP, I'm not in this fight, but that scripture is a 2 way street. Don't harm
any of God's annointed, period.

You are absolutely right Bro.....I am on the defense here.....not offense.

Maybe you need to try the offensive side for a bit.

NYLP stands for "disgraceful"? Were you homeschooled?:lol

Did that Renda.....hence the purpose of this thread!

Spare me NLYP. You're really full of yourself aren't you? :lol

NYLP,

My only issue with you is that in the heat of the moment you tend to sink to the level of the person you are angry with.

Mama always said two wrongs don't make a right and mama was right!

How is calling WH names any less judgemental and different than him bragging about him or his son walking out of UPC meetings or judging the "worldliness" of UPC youth at meetings?

I am sure that my limited education is entirely the problem. Unfortunately, I can find no other meaning for the word Auschwitz. However, I am sure that there is one and Dandy Dan is just dying to tell us.

Nope...not at all.
Once again...you dont have a clue.

I tried to think up some clever thing NYLP could stand for in my post but the week has been too long and too hard with work. My mind is shot. (of course my wife would argue that happened a long time ago!)

I was referencing your "touch not the anointed" defensive statement.

Oh, please! You go off on a preacher and then try to tell me not to touch God's annointed?! Practice what you preach and set the example.

Nope...Disgraceful is a good word to describe Aushwitz....and fits quite well with the point I made.

Thanks though..Rico...I give you an A for effort.

Preacher on Preacher
Slight Difference....

Again, you're really full of yourself, aren't you? This is getting funnier and funnier, the more you try to justify yourself. :lol

*BUMP* Cause either NYLP didn't see my post or he is ignoring me!!!:club

I didn't make this post, Thumper did. Pay attention.

I agree, CC1.

I agree.
