Open Letter to All

[Jason B]

Bro. Epley I don't have a problem with what you believe (though I believe you are wrong), but with your arrogance and hatred toward other Christians (specifically those who don't fit YOUR subjective definition of apostolic), such as myself.

It may well be that the all trinitarians are lost thread goes back years, but it reveals the attitude of those who originally posted it towards the very people Jesus shed His blood for AND nobody forced you to resurrect the thread and repeatedly make harsh sweeping statements against all trinitarians of all times, as well as all those who are oneness but you deem as compromisers. Its not just one thread, but hundreds and probably thousands of vitriolic and inflammatory posts by you over the years aimed at your fellow Christians which has earned you the reputation of the more PC version of Reckhart and Winter.

You lament those of us who don't see many of your sacred cows as essential yet you cannot do something so simple as provide us scriptural exegesis of why a man cannot have facial hair, a woman cannot wear a ring, and a man can't wear a pair of shorts.

My problem isn't what you believe, but the fact that you can't prove most of it with scripture. Let's start some new threads and discuss only the scriptural merits of what you say many of us have left.

Truth be told some of us did leave oneness Pentecostalism, and in the process it is true that some turned from Christ. But many of us who left OPism did not turn away from Christ, nor the scripture, nor His people. Only from bad theology, legalism, and totalitarian leadership. Truth be told we left you, not Christ, and THAT is why you are offended and feel the need to condemn us to hell.
