For him to be stumped publicly does nothing to encourage the folks who look up to him.

For us to be stumped publicly would maybe change the minds of a few who didn't already have their minds made up one way or another on any number of issues that would be discussed.

"Us" are those who have the questions that "could" stump PM, or those who think like him.

Your point here is the exact thing I referred to in an earlier post. His FOLLOWING is at RISK. His Kingdom.

This is how Religion grows into something dark.

Did Jesus not question those of Faith, who were deemed Great, and, in front of everyone? Will we allow our Faith to be overrun by Scribes and Pharisees who lash out at those who corner them?

The problem with this comparison is that I don't think that PM would be a good Pharisee at all.


I met him once in the late 90's when I was at IBC for a weekend.

It was a long time ago, but I think he would have been the most liberal preacher in the NC district when I attended the church in Jacksonville.

It was just the impression I got from his words and mannerisms, and those around him-- nothing more.

The political landscape was different then, as well as the perceived "needs of the church."

And, guys like Notofworks weren't preaching with their shirts untucked yet.
