Well if you believe I have attacked Renda, you have every right to ban me.
I don't believe speaking the truth qualifies as an attack, but you have a right to do what you need to do.
The truth is, you are what you tolerate, and AFF seems to tolerate everything but absolutes.
Charnock, I think AFF does a pretty good job of tolerating.... they tolerate you! And you are are an absolute ?????? You're attitude is pathetic. It would have been a great scene had you been at the well when Jesus "fellowshipped" with the woman caught in the act of adultery. You could have picked up stones and stoned her to death for it sure seems you are the perfect one! I seemed to remember that "he that judges is guilty of the same thing!" Are you gay?
I'd rather be around someone that is willing to admit their failures, (and I have communicated with Azzan asking him about Romans 1 and other scriptures, by PM ... "Oh that must be a horrible sin according to you!") than to be around a self-righteous condemning individual that in no way has shown the love of God.
If you would, go back to your post and show me where you have shown any charity in any measure. I don't see charity but a lot of hatefulness and venom! Of course you don't see yourself... but others on this post see what you are spewing out.
Would you at least say a prayer for Azzan. And by the way what does the name charnock mean?
Have a good day!
BT

THIS is an example of a good, conservative post, in case anyone needs a pattern to follow.
Questions asked and opinions stated without maligning the forum or slicing and dicing its members.

If one is repented, it is under the blood and there it should remain. Why must certain groups always seem to be seeking an identity. We were all sinners but it is no ones buisness what sins that we are tempted with.
If they are Apostolic, they are no longer gay, if they are gay, they are not Apostolic.
Bowas,
The person revealed their status as a homosexual because it was relevant to a political thread regarding the "Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell" policy. I agree that people don't need to confess their sins, but if they do happen to confess, it's not usually a bannable offense.
I don't believe Azzan claimed to be Apostolic; I believe he said he was "formerly" Apostolic.

No - - they were reading long before you came stomping around.
I received texts, and pm's about the thread asking if AFF has accepted their first openly gay poster.
I answered as well as I knew how - - no - - ChosenbyOne was here over three years ago. Many of you that are freaking out now responded on that thread. Because many on here reached out to CB1, he met them, repented, was baptized in Jesus' name and now has a different outcome for his life or after life. If that can happend again, then send 100 more to AFF.
Send 100 to your church. Send 100 adulters to your church. Send 100 liars to your church. Send 100 any type of sinners to your church.
THAT is where we should be happy. Ya know, the whole thing about even the angels rejoice over one soul.
Who am I to turn one type a sinner away and not all the others?

I am not a pastor, thus I cannot answer your question.
Well, I'm not an owner/admin so I shouldn't be held responsible for anything. What a cop out - Char.
Let me rephrase it so you can really give us your opinion. Before you resigned your church - would you accept a gay person in your congregation? If by accepting them, are you accepting homosexuality?

One thing that makes me happy is, I know many Apostolic's that love souls, and want to see all saved. No matter what their sin may be.

Well I guess charnock had his say, impressed his ultra cons and now has tucked tail and run! Probably will spend the rest of the day bragging about how he told everyone on AFF how "the cow eat the cabbage!"
Charnock, you're a good example why I don't want to be referred to as "Apostolic!" And there are good Apostolic's too and I'm not referring to them....just sad to see one like you putting a bad shadow on the others.
Be proud of your "hard, unrelenting, condemning, judgmental" attitude! I don't think God is proud of it!
