Why bash brother Epley when he is not here to defend himself?

Starting to remind me of my old elementary schoolyard...

This started with a question to epley, one he never answered before he skedattled. It's more about the behavior in some `apostolic ' churches than epley's evasion though.

As I mentioned, he avoided the question every time it was brought up. My guess is after decades of making unchallenged statements, he got tired of people standing up to his bullying tactics and retreated to his comfort zone.

We can see who the bully was here, and it wasn't Rev. Epley.

More likely he was following 2 Timothy 2:23 - "But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels."NASB

"Refuse to get involved in inane discussions; they always end up in fights." The Message

Wow, kind of torn a couple of directions. Guess I am one that has continued to stick around here even though I haven't been around OP for over 3 years now. Elder Steve Epley's posting are one's that I always looked forward to reading. I am actually surprised he didn't leave long before now since the forum has become mostly ex-pentecostal which does bring with it a lot of bashing at times.

Right now I feel that some finally tore down and picked apart a good man of God to the point where he had no choice but to leave. Anyone that justifies this based on what has transpired on this thread lacks wisdom as far as I am concerned......You lost a voice that you will never get back whether you liked him or not.

For us that knew and understood his viewpoints.......we rarely argued with him because he simply defended what he represented and we expected nothing less. Hope to catch him down the road.

History begs to differ with All trinitarians are List threads and lost as 2 queers kissing. He started inane discussions.

The only time Epley and I were on the same side was when the dogs came out salivating at the Memphis Mess. He suggested restraint. We know that didn't work. When dogs smell blood they go for the kill.

By the way, the name of the church was Apostolic Lighthouse Christian Church.
