Nope. He did rebuke some folks. Mostly the religious elite and self-righteous Pharisees. It certainly wasn't the focus of His ministry, which is what I said.

Furthermore, what gives you the right to step into His shoes, even if He did? I do seem to remember a particular lecture He gave about beams and splinters.

It isn't "hero worship" to have a favorite speaker. Didn't you ever have a favorite teacher? Do you have a favorite book of the Bible? Do you have a favorite anything? Or are you an all-around politically correct person?
Now the issue is that I "harassed" her husband and I'm politically correct? How did you possibly get that?

Where did anyone say that they loved preachers more than Jesus?

Well, maybe I'll do little rebuking of my own...


The Bible says to "touch not God anointed and do them no harm" Well, I'm anointed by God (to be whatever I need to be at the time He needs me to be it) so you are actually in violation of scripture here........

Let me just say that I'd be willing to drive a ways and be put out to hear Bro. White in person.

He preaches ALMOST as good as I do! Just kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not even in the same league!
DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU STARTED??? It's all your fault. You had to go and give us something positive, (which I listened to and it was what i needed) and now it's on! LOL!!!

I had a Brother in the church who pointed out to me that my daughter Anastasia listen more closely when I'm behind the pulpit more than any other preacher.

1. I didn't say YOU were the one who harassed her husband. Although, obviously you are picking on his posts along with one or two others, quite unnecessarily, and completely outside of the purpose of this thread.

2. The politically correct liberals are always concerned that everything is fair and equal. So NOT a biblical concept. You said that you don't prefer any preacher above another. (something to that effect; NOT a direct quote) I think that's hogwash, but that's just my basic cynicism and distrust for another human being showing its ugly head.

Well, it would be futile to answer your question because this has drifted SO FAR away from my original posts about ranking preachers as the "best," it is pointless to continue really.
