Brother Epley an example for all of us.

[Sister Alvear]

He has manners for a very ultra-con person. My family admires the elder. You don´t see the manners he has in some circles. I know...been there...some have preached for my son that were grosser than the two guys that Sherri mentioned...(and no, I will not name them)
Now that I have read that he wore a brown suit in the sea of black I am wondering if he is looking toward the AWCF...ha...

Bro. Epley is a godly man. We may not agree on a number of things, but he certainly is one of the few pure 3 steppers who makes no apologies for his intellectual honesty when it comes to its conclusion. I respect him highly for that, while disagreeing with him greatly.

I have written a long time on this forum and have taken notice of Elder Epley. He believes different than many people here yet his words are not offensive. He is an example to all of us no matter how we believe.

We may want to add others to the list I am sorta busy right now however I was thinking of good examples even in differences...

We should commission a bronze statue. I'm sure any good sculptor would make short work of Brother Epley!

Plus it would be pretty cheap as not much bronze would be used!

How many chances do you get to say you did a "life size" statue and only use the same amount of material as doing a bust of most men?

This thread is very humbling. I try to n=be kind while yet being pointed. When i first came on FCF I came on guns ablazingmuch us it was said to rattle cages though I did believe it. It was so funny hearing all the stuff said about me being mean and nasty. I appreciate the nice compliments I have been going through a personal trial and this has lifted my spirits.

Bro Epley regardless of our differences.

I pray the Lord will direct a specific word over you.

God is on your side...

Yes, you did!!! LOL

I didn't like you at first. But one day I read a thread and your posts regarding salvation and I felt the Holy Ghost so strong, it changed my thinking and attitude about you immediately!

I respect you highly, Brother Epley!!!!

God bless!!!

I think the first post I read of yours back on the original FCF was the one about "wandering stars" and "butchering hogs"!!!!!

You certainly pushed my buttons! I thought you were some AMF cretin fulfilling every stereotype I had of ultra cons.

It didn't take long to realize how wrong I was and that you were indeed a thoughtful intellect.

I have no doubt you did and would preach "butchering the hogs" but there is so much more to you than that!

You and Elder Groce in particular are examples to ultra cons everywhere that you can hold strong positions and yet show love and friendship to those with differing views.

In other words you can have lunch with a lib without having them in your pulpit. LOL!!!!

[Steve Epley]

There was an attempt to crucify me for having lunch with Atlanta Bishop someone took a picture and posted it. I told them I would have lunch with who I pleased I have know the guy for 30 years and I didn't agree with him when he was a con.
