I submit that it is not.
This is not simply a general expression of skepticism in charlatans and crooks and religious hucksters. We are all disgusted by those.
This is a direct accusation against a specific testimony by a respected man of God about a service that happened at the local ssembly he pastors. It is an accusation against a specific evangelist whose name has been mentioned.
Read this statement:
"be that as it may I sense something in Denmark and it ain't pretty."
What we have here is a poster claiming to have discerned something--claiming divine revelation. He has, according to his own report, the gift of discernment. Those of you who know me know that I am not given to rash, radical statements.
But the more I think about this, the more it bothers me.
This needs to be addressed in a decisive and very pointed way by admin, or I am going to have to very seriously rethink whether I want to participate in this forum any longer.
This goes far beyond some of the things that others have been banned for, and I am very much offended by it.
If we are going to allow posters to blatantly accuse respected men of God of chicanery and lying, then look for me to bow out.
Steadfast has too much class to push this, and he has not asked me to make an issue of it. In fact, I don't think we have even discussed it.
But I believe this is a hill to die on...
There you have it.

If all you have is this statement about Denmark then WOW!!!! Surely expressing doubt is now akin to accusing someone of lying.
Is it me but only men like Falwell, the Bishop of Cogic, and TBN and NCO crowd are susceptible to doubts and questioning....
This issue is about friends and perceptions .... NO ONE HAS BEEN CALLED A LIAR .... generalizations abound in this thread ... and a true failure to compartmentalize ...
Once again ... I don't doubt this report but if we cannot express doubts here .... then we need to examine other threads where they have been expressed.
Keep your hill.
