Did Terah have a godly heritage?

Originally, yes.

But he invited idols into his life.

Maybe God is calling us back to pure doctrine, and others are confusing that calling with something new.

Truth is, over the years, we bring idols into the church without even realizing it. Maybe God is calling some folks away from the influence of families who have created, and yet cling to, an image of God that is faulty?

Kind of different. Abram didn't leave until after Terah died. And he left Haran--not Ur.

"And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, "And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee. Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell" (Acts 7:2-4).

I don't know how old you are VL, but you should know by now that some people are sad and pitiful, especially on forums. That's a nice way of saying they're jerks of course. And they read your words and yet somehow miss seeing themselves as they are. Lessons learned through causing pain to those we love are the hardest. God bless you.

Bro. Vince,

I am like others who feel that no apology is needed. I respect your attitude to do so, but if that is the kind of respect you get for being honest, it should tell you something about the circle of folks who "shot" the darts.

That is one of the reasons I have remained independent. I have no one to please (organizationally) and no one to fear. I have accountability to our leadership team @ NLC, so I'm not a rogue.

I am just so sorry for those who threw the darts. Will they never learn? Will their anger toward the uncertainty of their own salvation never cease to maim their own? It is sad. It is worse than sad. How God must weep and mourn over these things. I'm sorry that it happened to you, Bro, but hang on. David had his detractors and he also had his Defender. The same Defender will uphold you, strengthen you and keep you marching forward. As long as you keep your eyes fixed upon Him, you'll get where He wants you to go!!!!

Even though his thread title provides the word "apology", it may be (others have posted similar possibility) that his regret is that he provided some individual data point that was used to serve another's agenda and in doing so, has imposed an unanticipated amount of 'revisiting' requirement on his part.

"Gotcha" is a great sport among the body politic that becomes highly regrettable when sideline observers get throw into a game where they had not purposed to be involved.

The big picture ... you missed.

This deals with a lot more, TBP ... your agenda again blinds you.

Dan...take some time to read the blogs...although you probably have and are probably alright with them... knowing your propensity for all things anti-standard/doctrine...

Words are important whether some here believe it or not... What was said considering the young man in question was the justification of cursing/tattoo's... among other interesting opinions... and VL and I have communicated via pm...but again it's the same old story different shoes...

Some here of course defend these things which is the what AFF has become or so it seems...
