It's a bit late for that.

Well, I guess that is one way to escalate it.

But in all seriousness, I’ll take take Bro. Apostolic1ness’ declining to answer to simply mean he is gonna pray for ole Ehud to see the light. We can keep discussing differences without condemning each other, and, at a minimum, if we keep discussing civilly, other readers can gather more info and hopefully be better off in their own walks.

Back on posts 191 and 195 I gave a personal example where I left a church where the Pastor said he didn't have scripture but personally wouldn't use anyone in leadership or on the platform. So I left and attend a church where there isn't a prohibition against facial hair.

Unfortunately this was posted after that:

It could have been an incredible coincidence, but I don't believe so.

Then you have responses to that post about the person not wanting a pastor and wanting "benefits of a Christian and still have there carnal life style."

And the response to that of being lost for profaning the temple of God.



Again, could have been an incredible coincidence, but I have a hard time believing it was.

Let’s chalk it up to coincidence. I believe Brother Apostolic and Brother Hometown were directing those conversational points to one another, not *at* anyone else.
