I think not Barry. Does Santiago represent everyone on this thread just because every one does not jump in and refute every post of his? Or Sam? Or mine? Not hardly. Most have voiced their opinion on Emile in one way or the other over time. If you have to classify everyone the same since we post here , then the problem lies with you, not everyone here. Of course that is the way you need to be, so get at it. dan

Dear Robert, <<When someone like Emile Vidrine posts outright hateful and anti-Semitic posts and all other "good" Christians just sit by silently and don't condemn him for his venomous posts, it means, by their silence, that they condone him.>> Thank you Robert! There has been a lot of criticism for small details here and then they claim Emile and his followers as Christian brothers. It is confusing at best that anyone can say hateful things and still be called a Christian brother. Then we show that Hitler spoke like Emile does and claimed to be a Christian just as Emile does and they say Hitler was not a Christian. So how do they choose between them? Emile is a Christian and Hitler was not. Was it because Hitlers words became a reality for many to see? Who knows what Emiles words will produce. Nancy

Robert, I would not say that the main problems concerning some of the Christians on this thread is not their condemnation of Emile but instead, their sanctimonious attitudes toward anyone that has a doctrine different than what they believe. The first rule of this thread should be that everyone should have the right to express his beliefs without being condemmed for it. Intolerance of others is the reason why wars, bigotry, and the disturbing evils are happening in our world today. Why should satan bother himself to tempt anyone when their own bigoted attitude causes more strife that he could ever cause? Did you follow Emile over here just to condemn him or did you start posting on this thread because you wanted Christian conversation and to know Christ better? Usually our motivations should be questioned instead of blaming others. We seem so much more comfortable when we look at the speck in our brothers eye than look at the log that is in ours. Santiago
