I don't think I should tell anyone on here whether I am a proprietor of standards or not so I will leave the subject matter a question of ones own faith.

I understand, you don't want to be publically associated with my "rant" though privately you agree. I get that a lot, no problemo.
From what you described, and that's all I have to go on, I'd say the guy was exegetically and hermeneutically out of bounds as well as socially out of bounds. I couldn't care less about the "tactics" involved when the overall strategem imperils the souls in his audience.
And make no mistake here, we imperil the souls of our children and grandchildren because we have attached so many nonessentials to the essential Gospel message. We need to pull out some of those poles and do an Eleazar on the idolatrous and adulterous spirits that crowd out the Gospel from our churches and youth camps.
