We've been told that Jeff Arnold has apologized to the Manguns and Mr. Gleason.

For what?

Obviously he was ashamed for something and felt the need to make amends.

Not misunderstood in the sense that he didn't mean to call anyone an idiot, though.

LOL! Can't argue with that.

Well isn't it obvious!? He apologized to SG for calling Maxwell an idiot!

King Saul was the Lord's anointed. No matter what he did later in life, even when God had determined to kill him wipe out his entire bloodline, he had still been the Lord's anointed.

King David himself refused to put hand to him. He was letting God handle the current events.

It's interesting to see so many apostolics who put themselves above King David, who was labeled a man after God's own heart. As for me and my house, we keep our mouths off the ministers of God. If they fall, God will deal with them. If they are here running their mouths against other ministers, well, God will deal with them. It has been my observation throughout my lifetime that GOD always knows more than me. And frankly, he knows more details, more about what's going and what should be done than any person here. I came here thinking this would be an interesting place to read, yet what I find are BOTT-bashers, POA-bashers (what pagan holidays are celebrated in that NOT liberal church!), and worst of all, minister-bashers. Everyone is an expert, and everyone has set themselves up as judge and jury. And now I just feel sick.

I would be interested in reading some of the more uplifting threads, perhaps, but somehow the posts I've seen here just negate that.

But now I understand more of the problems the UPCI is having. I don't leave this forum feeling uplifted at all. I just feel sick.

The story of King Saul and David is oft-quoted in circumstances like these. People who fall back on this story and say, "you shouldn't touch the Lord's anointed," need to read the scriptures again.

David did not touch Saul, that is to physically harm him, but he did speak out publicly against Saul. When David went into the cave and found Saul sleeping there, he refused to "touch" or physically harm him. Instead, David takes Saul's spear and jug of water and leaves Saul whole. The next morning, David embarrasses Saul and Abner for not having protection for the king. David goes on to question and criticize Saul.

Fast forward to the early church and ministry of Paul. Paul was a learned man. He knew the scriptures. He knew the story of David and King Saul. Yet, you will not find him anywhere write to "touch not the Lord's anointed." You think Paul wasn't condemned when he first started his ministry? You think everyone in the early church loved Paul and not one person questioned or criticized him? Yet he never writes, in any of his epistles, for people to leave him alone because he's God's anointed.

It's incorrect to try and apply this story and say no one should ever question, rebuke or criticize a Pastor. It's mostly used to silence critics and try to scare them with hell-fire if they dare question a minister who has done wrong. It's not right. It's adding to the word and claiming something that isn't there.

EX......as in EX apostolics. There is a difference. Stick around and you will be able to discern the difference.
