Im guessing you are on crack...see how that works? I'm guessing you....seems to me the bigger issue is with the accuser than the accused

Anytime I see someone paint with as broad a brush as you did in your premise a nerve absolutely has been struck. As I said earlier no doubt what you stated applies to a very small minority.

LOL!!!

I think it is pretty clear this person is going to take any criticism of his broad brush as a validation of it. With that kind of logic you really can't get anywhere with them. They would rather defend the indefensibile than admit they should have qualified their statement.

Ya, he actually has a few valid and half valid points but there has been no shortage of people showing up over the years who come on like attack dogs and then claim martyrdom when challenged or pushed back in any ways.

I believe it is part of Apastolica culture. I can think of many many times where people in our church (during the 80's) disrupted other church services and religious groups and then testified Sunday night how they stood up to the devil because these people dared to "attack me!".

DG, it seems as though your record player keeps skipping back to the same old line of the same old song. After a few years, you'd think you'd realize many things in life have nothing to do with legalism.

Chateau,

This is not a church but when a "believer" says things to other Christians admonishing them with a broad brush and absolutely no humility or feeling it really makes me think that I am dealing with a legalist. The legalist will take things that are not a sin and make them a sin for everyone and loves to judge based on their highly developed personal insight. I don't know anything about you and I haven't read any other post but I am not the only person who has had a problem with your post. If you are wise you will listen to your fellow christians and pray that the Holy Spirit will deal with you. God may be using them to work in your life.

I am not sure how know about me saying the same thing over and over. You only have 76 post. Or maybe you are one of those folks who changes their name all the time. I have kept my avatar the same forever. I started out apostolic on this forum years ago and have since left the movement. I still come back and discuss things


I do not frequent this forum in order to find people who believe the same. In fact, I go to one of the largest churches in the united states with a highly influential pastor where the unadulterated gospel is preached consistently. The beliefs of my church are almost the exact opposite of everything that is apostolic. In fact, most people at my church have never even heard of the apostolic movement and do not even believe that churches like this even exist. I still run across legalistic people sometimes even in my church though most are people who grew up in church and it is just their tradition.


My goal is to surround myself with people who in grace and love can offer help and live in gospel community.

I really don't see what is so offensive about the opening post.

Some people are way too touchy.

[Praxeas]

I didn't find it offensive. Delusional? Hypocritical? Lacking substance? I found it a lot of things, including a little amusing but not offensive

[Dagwood]

I find it absolutely non-offensive, to be honest...because I don't fall under any of the items he/she listed. So, for those who are in the same boat as I, let's move on to other posts here...

And, BTW, I would hope Admins' presence would be known, which they do quite well. So, for as many of them to chime on on this thread as they have, all the more power...

[crakjak]

The IP has substance and validity, my suggestion to those that are irritated by it: If the shoe fits, wear it, if not throw it away or give it to Goodwill!!!
LOL
