Re: Let's Bash the Preacher Some More
GS,
I can wholeheartedly agree that any time spent in derision, gossip, or any kind of judgemental ridicule, is fully sourced from within what should be a former thing among the saints; carnal mindedness.
I also happen to be one of the folks here who believe that the label "man of God" is a former thing. It no longer has relevance. The role has been superceded because a veil (flesh) has been rent, the middle wall of partition between us being broken down; all have access onto the holy mountain.
So GS, do you teach that it is still appropriate to create differentiation among the saints by using the phrase "man of God"?
I can not. To do so would be to declare that children "of God" are something other than "of God". It would give occassion for incorrect thinking that there is some kind of preeminence among members of the body that God has anointed.
