Response to WPF Fireball thread: AN Lying Again

I am not very excited about these types of stories however to blame the Pastor is unfair.

But they had control of printing the story and choosing their headline which claims a fireball landed at the conference.

Does truth really matter? Or marginalizing those who may have an aspect of it too hard to bear?

It's fruity yellow sensational journalism and does nothing for the cause of Truth.

Spell and Baumeister share responsibility in perpetuating and capitalizing on this tall tale.

Before you know it we'll find out Regent hasn't really accepted his thesis yet and he's a Phd in waiting,

But I'm being unfair. And probably should heed to the apostle Paul's advice on such matters:

nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith

You posting on one of my threads is monumental.

You'd think that hell has frozen over.
Nonetheless, welcome home.

I just got a kick out of the "you'd think hell has frozen over" line. Some people say you giggle at the things you relate to, well I can kinda relate, I didn't expect to see the ole timers posting on AFF again, and much less dialouging with you, the living manifestation of the ex-apostolic plague.

Poof. Let's pretend the last 30 minutes of posting didn't happen so we can go to sleep in our glass beds in our glass houses. For those in Rio Linda, there's a glass barn sale in San Marcos and Joplin.

Good nite and see ya 'round the glass campus.

When one does not find their identity in Jesus Christ and the message of the cross, one must find sensational validations and supernatural manifestations in order to continually "prove" they are right.

Excellent post that goes far beyond this thread or even OPs!

Epley, it would be different if the article quoted a representative from the police or sheriff office. Instead, they quoted a pastor who allegedly quoted the sheriff department --- and posted it as true, not "according to the Pastor... though the meteor was verified by the National Meteor Service and seen by witnesses in up to 4 states."

ESPECIALLY in light of the language they (to a man) have recently used to describe this forum and its posters. Apostate, sewer and cesspool being among the more prominent.
