Just like Sabellus sent Newman packing for the hills years ago truth did the same again. Thank God for truth that makes darkness flee.

Having witnessed that whole debate, I certainly don't recall Newman being sent packing. I'm surprised you keep saying that, Bro. Epley.

Newman was never sent packing. The good Elder doesn't like to be confused by the facts. He's been called on it repeatedly, but continues to propogate the prevarication that Newman was chased out. I'm sure it's his perception, and in his mind, it's truth......just like most everything else he believes.

Michael, you are right, she was never sent packing.

I concur.

Knowing Newman in the 'real' world of face to face interaction, truth be told, she no doubt has her reasons, which are her own to share or not share...she leads a busy life for starters.

But anyone who knows her, even in this realm, surely must know that Newman is her own girl...dances to her own beat.

Trust me...NO ONE could run her off if she chose to be here.

Respectfully I think Elder E thinks her silence is indicative of not having an answer. Wrong.

It may not be an answer I agree with, but again, trust me, Elder...Newman is NOT at a loss of a response.

Sabellus does very well presenting his views, but Newman always presented her views equally well. To say that he trumped her wouldn't be correct.

Newman's contention with his view on "long hair" is that Sabellus used commentary that states, "It may be necessary to reach outside of the Greek to define long as uncut."

Newman questioned that if Paul was speaking to Greek people, why would he reach outside the Greek to do that. I have some of that conversation printed out.

I enjoyed the exchange between them both.

Elder Epley is very well-studied....He just does not waste his time with folks so defiant & rebellious to biblical evidence.

Oh, BTW, he is not the only person I have seen state that Sabellius sent Newman packing (one of them was college professor who read the exchange, BTW).

Such a typical response from AFF though..........

The deal is this...if he does not have hands on proof of a thing (re Newman), and is simply relying on hearsay, it is NOT fact.

In my few years on the forum, I've never seen anyone send anyone "packing". Thinking that you, or any other person on the forum, has sent anyone packing by your ultracon theology is simply a view from the la-la land you folks live in.
