He may be playing around but other people in this thread aren't. I figured he was a regular poster, but I don't know who. If you do, send me a pm. I won't out him. I've never done that to anyone on these forums, but I certainly have an enquiring mind and wanna know! Hehehehehe!

Let me state unequvialically, I believe in Verbal Bean's ministry, I have had the pleasure of fellowshipping with his Family.

He was a unique prophet/preacher.

But after thinking about him for some time I would like to share my opinions about this message and about him.

The gist of his message was about rebellion against God, that was manifested in Laurel with very specific applications that were meant in mho locally. They should not be applied across the board in every situation.

Their issue was rebellion against God that was manifested in rising up against the local pastor/preacher.

I think you don't have to necessarily buy into the applications of what he did in that local setting and at the same time be considered to be rebellious and deserving of rebuke/judgment.

But rebellion/refusal to submit to God's ways (which by the way means submitting to righteousness of JC as a free gift, instead of trying to earn it apart from him) manifested in any way is deserving of rebuke, and if unrepentant judgement, no matter what form it takes.

A previous church that I pastored went through the same situation, and they ran me off for the same reasons. And it is my understanding they no longer even exist after running off 2 other preachers.

I don't come here to make friends, although I am glad for the few I have made.
Rico, I am just messing with you. There is no other person in this world that would love to see you get your life in order ( every phase ) than I would. It seems like your life is just so hard, and it seems a lot is of your own making. I'm sorry to see that, and the struggle you go through, but until you give it all over to God, and there will have to be some submission on your part, you will continue to struggle. You seem to be in a no win situation here. And "oh yes" I am not going to spend un-nescerry hours searching out everything you have posted over a long period of time. That was just foolishness too.
Blessings,

he was a member of the inner circle of Christ's disciples.

Using your logic, he shouldn't have died so young.

Sorry, that was a very pointless post, and represents extremely faulty thinking.

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not; ) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

Thus saith the word.
