Like I said...there's a time and place for being blunt. Sometimes its needed, and sometimes it just makes folks sit up and listen. I'm not against it....entirely.
I have read the Bible, Rev.
It's wasn't directed directly at you........and I agree with what is bolded....No doubt all here have read the Bible....at least a little.....

I like to hear my pastor preach the best and my husband the second.They just preach the
Gospel.The word is more powerful than any two edged sword.The word alone
can do wonders.Thank God for His word that is still able to deliver.
JA is certainly one of those polarizing figures where you either "really like him alot" or you "can't stand to hear him".
Personally, I fall in the camp of those who enjoy his ministry, although I
certainly don't always agree with everything he says or does. I will say
that some of the best messages I have ever heard were preached by him.
Do any of you remember the message, "There is Power in the Word of A King".
It's my personal favorite. The message he preached on "True Holiness" 10 to 15 years ago at Because of the Times is another one that was awesome.
I know of the website you got that info from. It is inaccurate. My sister is close friends with Bro. James' children. He is so far from a preterist as Epley is from a television. My sister says jj's daughter has repeatedly asked the owners of that website to remove his name from that list withhout success. I believe a member of this forum was listed on that site but was quickly removed. Maybe that member can shed some light on that subject.
The owners of that website are the southbound end of a horse and the lies they spit out are not needed. I would send a pack of kool aide to the owner of that website if he promised he would drink it as soon as he landed in Guyana.
I simply emailed him directing some writings that I had done against Preterism in all forms. I am adamantly opposed to that doctrine and was able to demonstrate to him in writings that I had done long before he put me up on his wall of shame.
It was not long before he took my picture off the wall. Someone set me an email apologizing. I appreciated that.
I remember JA from waaaaay back. I remember years ago, as a very young man, he did kids programs and preached to the little kids at youth camp. They loved him and ate him up.
Jeffery has proven himself over the years to be faithful, honest and true to the great message that we all love. He has been a champion of truth, lover of souls and loyal to the fellowship that he loves so dearly.
Though he may be a little crass at times, I've really never heard anything that I might would call offensive. The good that he has done is inestimatible. Only eternity will tell.

I was not directly referring to your comment.
Can a sinner bring a message to you from God? A sinner helped me stay in Church when I was drifting away.
As far as inviting a known unrepentant offender into one's pulpit........probably not a good idea [understatement used for emphasis]
I was more properly referring to styles of preaching or lack thereof......should class or crass stop us from hearing God's voice? No! Can it? Yes!
I'm of the opinion that the scriptural position is that he'll never be back in pulpit ministry. He's disqualified himself. I also realize that this is the minority position that is held here.
