go into details brother.. he did mention the persecution but didn't go into details either.. Is it true that tek believes and teaches that only those apostolics with the divine flesh "revalation" will be saved?

I don't know who Bro Solomon is.

It's hard to imagine Tekle doing the things people are accusing him of doing. I remember the testimonies of how his baby was killed and how he was persecuted for the Gospel. This was back a few years while he was in UPC.

From my understanding, which may be faulty, he was a proponent of the DFD for a long time before the UPCI decided to deal with it and disfellowship him and the followers of the DFD in Ethiopia.

While he was in UPC I never heard a bad word spoken about him eventhough he believed the DFD. I am skeptical now that he in not UPC and I'm hearing these bad things. It seems that for the most part it's ok to say things about people that were once UPC that are not exactly true like he is now working with the government to persecute those he once fellowshipped with.

One person I may not be so skeptical of would be Billy Cole since he was close to Bro Tekle. And at least a few more unbiased accounts of what is happening would be nice to hear.

It's all so sad.

well i am NOT upc and my church is NOT upc so that really has no reflection... also last year sis wendell came to our church with bro solomon and testified of the same thing.. its sad but true the ACE and teke have gone into false doctrine :-( But God is using Bro solomon to reach many of those people again with Truth.

Teke corrupted some US pastors with this false teaching while visiting the states as well.... not sure the area of affect....

I don't know all the details either. However, I do know that I was given some first hand private information where Tekle was confrontational and disrespectful to Bro Cole on one of the last crusades there. It was related by a minister who was in the private moment with them.

It was not over the divine flesh, but I'll summarize it by saying that Tekle was taking a superiority approach.

I hope that BC can talk to him and help him be restored.

I hope that those that are spiritual try to restore him rather than destroy him and his reputation. I hope the reason for the telling of these stories in churches is for people to pray for Tekle and others and not for other reasons.

And for your info, the Ethiopians disfellowshipped the UPC, not vice versa.

They rejected the offer to send brethren over to negotiate.

They did the rejecting, not us.

Yes. After the Toronto resolution that said the DFD was false and erroneous.

What was the reason for the resolution? The spreading of false doctrine to North America? I thought the ACE had always believed in the DFD.

The problem is the UPC turned their heads for years knowing he taught this erroneous doctrine it was a 'cash cow' for them. But when Teke published his book into English where the average preacher and saint could read this foolishness they took action. However Teke beat them to the punch and disfellowshipped them. ON FCF all the correspondence was posted by both the ACE and the UPC. That is the problem Teke couldn't understand since it was in their doctrinal statement why the uproar? You cannot excuse false doctrine for years then when you are caught act like you have indignation. The real culprits is NOT Teke & the ACE but those officials in the UPC that knew it and ignored it. I will run and hide.
