See if you quote me or anyone else, then say something to that affect, the implication can be that the person you are quoting somewhere in his post or prior made such a statement.
You suggested I was an anarchist earlier. I never posted one thing remotely LIKE anarchism. I never denied church government or leadership. Im clarifying what I said. You posted something to the effect that "saints don't need to know all the dirt on the pastor"...to me...to my post...that suggests that somewhere along the way I said something like that and I did not.

I never suggested you were an anarchist anywhere.
Talking about "dirt" was related to the implications of the Pastor being your buddy. These examples are just tied into the whole issue. You mess with one piece and it has implications elsewhere. I'm not saying YOU personally are saying them, I guess you are seeing that I am saying your position can potentially imply such things, and it's dangerous, which is supporting my position of why I don't think a Pastor should get entangled with the saints. Be the shepherd, as we all follow the Great Shepherd.
No ill feelings. Not trying to play a public chess match of wits with you. Promise!
