I am pretty shocked and hurt at the things that my first cousin said about my family on that other forum. He said my sister and her husband are backslidden????? And indicated the same about us. I have always loved and upheld his ministry. I'm sorry that he can't do the same for us.

Ah well.....I have to go back to Nehemiah when he was building the wall and Sanballet and Tobias were giving him grief. He just said "I'm doing a good work and I can't come down". God knows our hearts.

As for my brother, I love him and he's a fantastic preacher. I'm sure if he preached a holiness message, it's because he was seeing a trend in UPC that he doesn't like and felt a need to address it. Did he have an agenda? I don't know......maybe someone should ask him instead of trashing him on a public forum. JMHO.

I have not read this thread, nor do I plan to. However, I HAVE read the blog in question. Let me just say that your cousin was taken completely out of context, and perhaps even misquoted. (I haven't gone back to be sure.) Nevertheless, understand that anyone who does not have the guts to put their name on a public article, nor the integrity to keep from violating rules to which he (or she) has agreed, should not be considered a trustworthy source for anything.

Let me conclude with the remarks I posted on CAF when I learned of this blog:

While I in no way condone "character assassination," I found the last sentence of the blog to be interesting:

"Indeed, the Lord is not pleased."

Indeed. Not only is He "not pleased" with someone verbally attacking another without cause (as the author claims happened), but neither is He pleased with LIARS!!!!!!!! Whoever copied and distributed the information from this website blatantly lied when they agreed to the terms of service. They stated that they WOULD NOT "share [their] password with someone else." Furthermore, they agreed that publicly sharing a post without the author's permission was an offense which would result in a permanent ban from membership.

Of the seven things which God hates the most, TWO of them involve lying. "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren" (Proverbs 6:16-19).

So, to quote the author of the blog, "Indeed, the Lord is NOT pleased."
