Wrong! there were sveral from this forum at that Camp Meeting. BS was wrong for making those statement. If he does not like what is happening in Louisiana......stay away.

Do you think it is Bible for a man to attack another in a forum and not look him in the eye? My Bible says go to him!

If you don't want people to attack Bro. Strange then he needs to stop attacking others.

Birds of a feather flock together. Remember that.

So it is not ok for Bro Strange to "attack" on an open forum, but it is ok for you to "attack" him on an open forum. Maybe you should have practiced what you preach, and went to him in private to give him correction.

This is an open forum where things are discussed, and opinions are given on everything in the world. We all need to understand that things are going to be said that we do not agree with, and we have the same right to challenge what was said. Sometimes it may be "my champion" that is criticized. I need to be mature enough to take it, and if needed challenge the person stating it to back it up. As long as this is done within the guidelines of the forum rules, there is no problem. But please understand that any of us can get so into proving our particular point that we end up with a nasty attitude in the process. I say that because I felt that was the route I was taking the other night, and just logged off. We are all responsible adults, and need to moderate our own self, less we find that we be the ones in the wrong, while fighting for what is right.

I don't recall attacking anyone. I only responded to someone that attacked aminister of truth an a friend of mine. Brother, believe me i am not afraid to face BS, you, or anybody else. Ask anybody that knows me. I do not like it when a man's ministry is attacked. Sorry if you disagree.

And you likewise could have stayed away from what Bro Strange posted. Just as he chose not to, you did likewise. Not a problem, as this is what the forum here is all about. Discussion.

One of the reason this thread is going on so strong is Bro. Strange did really say anything. What he did say was opinion, sometimes disguised as spiritual discernment.

Bro. Strange is an honorable man. That doesn't make him infalliable. I believe what Bro. Strange intended as a warning shot ended up as a personal shot. I would be terribly disappointed if this was intentionally personal. I choose to believe the best about Bro. Strange unless evidence shows otherwise.

Bro. Strange is still okay in my book. Right along with the MB AM, MM LS, and many others.

on a side note wp,

Hats off for putting 3 paragraphs together without saying hogwash.

Even more kudos on using the word bovine in a post. Even more kudos in using a word from someone you have little regard for and attempting to make it your own.

This is not just him who feels this spirit, or even me. I know of several pastors and preachers, in and out of the UPC who feel the same way. What of all these men and women who have discerned this same spirit?

No, I stand with Bro. Strange on this one. What he has felt is what others I have spoken with have also felt. He is just the first to come on here and publicly acknowledge what he has discerned.

Some do not want to rock the boat. They have their picks in whom they love to hear, their sacred cows. Problem is, when those bovines give bad milk, they just explain the sickness they receive away, and continue calling the cow the best in the county. This is what is happening here.

Thank Jesus for men like Bro. Strange. Thank the Lord for a man of God willing to speak the truth and roll with the punches.

I really thought you believed and understood the scripture better than this.

So We should all just sit back and let a highly esteemed minister be attacked and called out as being in the spirit of the devil?

Go read the Bible sir. Looks like you would have learned more than that if you had been preaching 23 years.

If someone attacked one of your best friends on this forum would you respond?

Was not the meeting broadcast via the internet? It wouldn't take much research to find out who Bro. Strange was talking about, even without the MB defenders.
