Daniel,
I don't really like getting into these type of discussion because they make me feel very upset, but I want to make a point, nonetheless.
You started a thread entitled, "D. Bernard shares his thoughts about HolyMagicHair".
Now why would you title your thread in that manner? Why couldn't you say, "D. Bernard addresses I Cor 11". That seems the more gentlemanly and respectful wording.
Some of your threads come across as caustic, angry and accusing. I don't think it's right of you to say that Brother Bernard believes in the "magic hair", because I know that he doesn't.
So, along with Esther's thoughts - I believe we should represent our line of questioning and conversation in a more scholarly fashion. It's just the proper Christian thing to do.
And for the record, I am also against Mark posting his National Enquirer Newsflashes. I believe it is childish and reeks of gossip, which is a sin.
I will also add that I am in the UPC by God's design and I am in His will. I haven't always agreed with everything, but I can say that if I came on a public forum spewing out what I don't agree with, I believe I would be fighting against God. There are better ways of going about things.
So, there, for all it's worth. I might as well throw in on this too!
Wow TALK ABOUT A STRETCH P.O.
Tell me where I stated DB believes in Holy Hair ... that's PATENTLY FALSE and I am disappointed that someone of your intellect would come to this faulty conclusion
Saying someone shares their thoughts on something DOES NOT EQUATE TO A PRO OR CON POSITION ... Yikes!!!
I'm not sure if our inability to decode isn't what's leading to these type of palm reading posts.
DB's thoughts were scholarly ... as are the posts of many here ... including some of mine ...
Dismissing things you don't deem scholarly on a forum that shares a wide range of opinions based on various levels of intellect ... tell me that you might be on the wrong forum.
Maybe GNC or GodChat might provide the intellectual stimulation that you're craving?

Daniel,
Your thread title reads - "D. Bernard shares his thoughts about HolyMagicHair". - accusatory in my book, Daniel.
There is no way on God's green earth you won't read that for what it is. It is an agenda on your part to ferret out and have this issue handled - your way, Daniel.
What about Stoneking's thread? "Stoneking:Churches going Charismatic Exploit Women"
You don't think that's a snarky way to start a thread, Daniel?
Puleeze, I'm not stripping furniture today. My mind is clear.

A person sharing their thoughts on bongs doesn't mean they light up.
Way too much reading in between the lines ... and that's where many valuable discussions break down ... even if they were
"scholarly".
As for Stoneking saying charismatic churches exploit women ... that's what he said. See video.
Are you interested in critical and objective discussion ... or in being an scholarly apologist?
Such public stands are brushed aside when it's TD Jakes, the Munseys, Todd Bently, or those DREADED trinitarians .... then all bets are off and so are the gloves. Esther,your concerned seems to be just about "our soldiers" ( a notion you've expressed in various thread).
We all have our favorites, Esther .... If IB and LS are yours ... you don't have to reject them. Nor has anyone asked you too.
However on a discussion forum of this sort .... we have spoken at length ... and pontificated to death on teachings we have issue w/
.... that such teachings are attached to real people ... this is where it gets dicey and emotional.
I still appreciate your pastoral like concern for me and others .... I know it's rooted in sincerity.
Since all ministries are on par with Apostolics
Have you taken to task any of the above mentioned
and others such as Benny Hinn? he believes some pretty odd
stuff even to the trinitarians. I've been reading some of the
Charismatic forums and there is HUGE controversy over Todd bently.
have you taken him to task the way you have LS???
I read one report that Todd believes that William Branham's
ANGEL visits him and/or empowers him. There should be an
outcry!!!

I felt that the comments where hurting Esther or
as she put it "upsetting " her. I think she was so sincere
that when people began to attack her I knew it wound

Oh, did she say she was upset? I didn't read that.
