Can't Tim just block him from being able to send him messages?

I was sad for you when I read that Apostolic offender site.
Ditto!

I thought it was great that two people that are so different can come together in unity. It's a shame it was turned into something totally different. They were doing what Christ expects us all to do.

That is troublesome. But I counter that problem by logging in and "correcting" anything I don't like.

It's kind of fun. The UPCI page was a real mess for a while (I had nothing to do with that!). Someone kept insisting that NBA star David Robinson be listed as a "prominent UPC member." That and the definistion of "Oneness" took a long time to sort out. Finally they went with the UPCI's description of itself out of a "spirit of fairplay." You of course can change that now if you wish.

The methods of changing articles have tended to stiffen up and people are identified by IP addresses - making graffiti taggers all but obsolete. On the controversial topics things have to go through a discussion page and posts are monitored.

Much of the material is straight from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. That's the public domain edition that is freely available on several sites. If you want to know what the arguments are, Wikipedia is a good source. Also good for "uncontested" info like population figures and most stats.

I couldn't believe that link when I checked it out. I was creeped out, to say the least. I know a girl that hasn't cut her hair in over 8 years, but it hardly reaches below her shoulders. Does that mean she is less spiritual than someone whose hair is down to her knees? How ridiculous. One point I did kind of find interesting was having the ladies wear their hair down during church. I have been to churches where I get the evil eye if I wear my hair down. It never made much sense to me to always have to wear it up. So, maybe Reckhart has one good point there - if a woman's hair is her covering, there is nothing wrong with wearing it down.


When I saw the picture and article on Epley and Atlanta Bishop on the Apostolic Contender I was very suprised and upset by the article. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being friends and even fellowshipping (gasp) with other Christians - even if their definition of Christianity differs from ours. How do we win people to Christ if we have such narrow vision and proud spirits? It amazes me how people who strive so hard to live righteous lives and abide by the Bible can have such nasty attitudes towards anyone who doesn't hold the same views. The writers on that blog are mean-spirited. What a turn-off. It is sad that God-fearing, Bible-believing, Oneness people have adopted the same attitudes as the Pharisees of Jesus' day. The Pharisees obeyed the law, but Jesus was angry with them for their proud spirit. I think He would be just as angry with people like this who hold onto that same proud, haughty spirit. To post such an article like this one on their blog was more than just low and uncalled for. It shows their true spirits and attitudes. How ugly.

On a side note - How can they come here and copy a picture and post it on their website? Am I just really naive, or isn't that illegal or unethical?
