Still surprised you would support this kind of behavior from a minister.
There have been a lot of messages in which JA has complained about people in his church...which makes me wonder, is it the people that are the issue, or is it JA? I couldn't imagine attending a church where the Pastor regularly called people jerks, nincompoops, idiots, liars, etc.
Again, I'm not talking about sin; I'm going back to the alleged quote by Maxwell and SG that apparently put salt on JA's wound.

"alleged". We need to have an exact quote here.
I've heard him enough and read some his books to believe I understand him as a person. I'm not defending him in the sense of using that language as a proper training message. I don't hear other people emulating him, so whatever he is doing, it is, as Bratti stated,

which makes it less alarming to me.
He's had some very deep hard knock experiences and has moved closer to looking and believing for miracles of healing, etc., which makes me value the information he shares. I especially like how he shares some of his conversations with God and how God answers his many questions and problems. I can overlook that part of his personality.
He asked the minister not to be offended before he said what he did. So, again, it shows that he is using his way of expressing himself, which the audience is very well aware of.
I think that he realized he may have, in his passion, gone a little too far, evidenced by how the audience gasped. IOW, even though the audience knows him very well, they had never experienced him acting out in that fashion. All of these things can be corrected. As Bratti stated, words to effect, it isn't as though he committed a criminal offense.
If DA doesn't like what someone says, he edits a clip and crucifies them on YouTube. He has done that with others, and I find it repugnant and totally outside the realm of Christianity. It is pure hate on his part.
