James, I of all people am not offensed by your post nor even by the radical death condemning type or the totally blind sheep naive ones for I am not thin skinned at all. My feelings are not hurt nor do I take this thread or questions asked here personal or anything. These questions I have asked on numerous occassions in real life. My brother and Mother's Brother are Ordained Ministers, one Baptist and one Pentecostal. Where My Uncle is filled with the love of God and has always answered what ever questions has been posed before him. My brother has been discommunicated and removed plus has no following because of his constant fanatical holier than though thing. To this day and many years from his ejection he still like Emil shouts death to those who do not believe in the speaking of tongues. My Uncle has taught me about what he calls the self-righteous warlords of Christainity (like my brother) plus he is the one who taught me scriptures to war the warlords who only hurt their own belief when their constant wearing of Godly armour. Now no other Christain have I seen or met can hold a candle to my Uncle's wisdom and knowledge. He has saved numerous souls both agnostic and athesist which he feels is his calling, to talk to those that need to find the Lord and help those that may have doubts with all the doctrine bashers and twisters. Knowledge he once told me is the advantage you will have and demonstrates solid reasoning for my beliefs. My Uncle gave up a large congregation here in the city with all the comforts of being a high profiled Pastor 15 years ago to travel south to spread teachings of God. He has a church and has always had numerous offers from others. He travels a lot as a guess Pastor though he has a church that was small 123 which now has 1452 I believe I was told. Never have I seen this man of God ever twist or warrior someone in his teachings. I asked him once why and he told me Jesus' teachings were not those of war an death but of goodness and life. By the way his wife left him because he felt God called in to minister and travel instead remaining in the comfort she had become accustomed to. In my posts and questions I wanted to see if this thread was one of teaching, judgement or war. I think it is obviosly all of these and the readers will have to decide as with there beliefs which it is. Ephesians 6: 29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth but that which is good to use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. GaBard
