If I'm Out Of Order...
then please close this thread.
However, I am DISPLEASED with the election of the new GS.
I don't like his books.
I wish KH was re-elected.
Truth be told, the GS has very little to do with what happens in my local assembly and I realize this.
But I really don't like his books or the way that so many seem to rally around his books as "Gospel".
I don't know him personally-- my dislike for him is based off of the books I've read by him-- two of them, and the books, websites, etc I've read where his works have been referenced (many).

I have, probably the worst book I have read on Romans and I have read several.

Not believing that Baron. He is a former college professor, a member of the State Bar of Texas, holds a doctorate of jurisprudence, a bachelor's degree in mathematical sciences and managerial studies and has studied Greek in seminary - not to mention he is spirit-filled. LOL!
There is no way the book could be bad.

As a child he was also a missionary to Korea, so I believe he speaks Korean as well, or at least did at one time.

That is just silly. None of those things makes one a great writer. DB is not now nor has he ever been a great writer. There are so many in the UPC that think they are great writers and they are not. As much as I respect KH his book The Anointed Ones (I think that was the title) amateur at best. However, as a leader I think the future will show he was the man for the hour.

I didn't term him as a "great" writer. I don't think there are that many "great" writers to be had, IMO. I don't view Phillip Yancey as a "great" writer.
I did like the information Bernard put out in, God's Infallible Word. I happen to like and respect him quite a lot. He worked with my husband on a church matter and was very thorough, meticulous in detail and very kind, so I will defend him a little.
