This type of post is the reason why some people decide to leave AFF. It is off the wall, condescending and really carnal to the core.

The natural man is certainly not spiritual, nor easily entreated, and Mr Epley, your post stinks.

If the administrator won't stop this kind of stuff it makes me think they are either helpless or they endorse this kind of personal attack.

Unless of course, Epley is an administrator. If that's the case, sayonara.

Did you read the other posts that Bro. Epley made to him? If not, I would recommend that you do so, as that was not said in a vacuum. JD did not take offense at that remark, which you would have also noticed if you had read the whole of the thread. It was a loving petition for a young man to return to his roots, and not yield to his pride and reject the Lord's call for him to come home. There was nothing there to attack, and your charge is both spurious and baseless.

Initially, I began to be offended, but I chose to check myself to make sure I was not being prideful. I don't think Bro. Epley meant any offense at all.

It's better to not be easily offended-- on AFF and in life in general.


Nevertheless, Sabby's response isn't spurious and baseless.

Both Bro. Epley and Sabby posted what they did out of concern for a young guy in Orlando that they hardly know.


AFF is just like a family-- diverse and caring.

Christianity is AMAZING, when it's done right.

Jay, you didn't KNOW if JD took offense at Epley's post. I mean, read it again, for cryin' out loud.
Repent of pride and return to his roots? If there was any pride to be detected in the back and forth between the two, it was the haughtiness demonstrated by Epley, who seems to be the Keeper of the Gate on AFF.

I, for one, am sickened by attacks by conservatives on those that question their OP roots, and then with a condescending attitude act justified by antagonizing their brethren (put appropriate proof-text here).
There are some things that are a part of our "root" heritage that 20 & 21st century apostolics refuse to recognize. There are other things that have been added on (like tree decorations and not the "root") in the past century have nothing more to do with being apostolic than wearing a necktie to church.

I can see a close friend sending an email, making a phone call or paying a personal visit to help (notice the word, HELP) a brother in need. If Epley is a friend he ought to understand that his comments not helpful at all, that is if in fact he was honestly trying to help restore our brother JD. Epley uses Jesus Christ as a cloak of maliciousness and views the his ideas about Truth to be above the embodiment of Grace, Jesus Christ.

JD, I'm praying for you, bro. Live your life to please God and Keep on truckin' for Jesus.
