The first mention was from a sermon in the 90's, giving the 15 year time span. I've heard comments from Stoneking from multiple sermons, where he repeats his views multiple times, and at great length--not just in passing. You obviously haven't gone to the trouble to research this adequately. I have actually sat and listened to his entire sermons, either on cassette, or online via video clips. He didn't just say this one time, and he has NOT calmed down the language. There was a clip from a church posted recently where he basically reiterated the whole thing all over again. I'm sure someone can give you the link, if you want to check it out.
As far as RR goes, it's not even worth discussing. I was in a ladies' conference where she taught back in 2001 (or so), and it was PAINFUL. The last time I went, LaJoyce Martin taught, and it was SO much more pleasant. That woman is a joy to hear. |
I read RRH's book back in 99, and didn't think of it as problematic. I do see, in retrospect, how some statements she made are problematic. There is nothing in her book, however, that teaches holy magic hair, or laying hair on people.
I have only heard LS twice in person, and you are correct, I probably haven't done adequate research on this. But I did hear him teach on the hair issue as recently as two weeks ago. I thought he did a great job, this my motivation to enter the fray. If you get a chance, read the last couple paragraphs on my last response to Prax, it explains my motivation a little. I do thank you for the courteous responses, even in disagreement!
