Well, when it's put in that light, you are right.

The amazement is with the "sticketh closer than a brother" attitude that so many have.

Hypocrisy. Pharisaical. Do as I say, not as I do.

You know what, I believe that. Because we all know the Bible doesn't say adultery is a sin. But it is a sin for women to cut their hair, men to wear a beard, women to wear pants, make-up, etc....... right?

Re: Ballestero's The Saved Backslider

It's nice that you ppl have enough time to constantly bash men of God who are preaching truth...
It would be much more profitable for yourselves and those that hear you to speak those things which edify.

It's nice that you have time to bash posters who are bashing men of God who are preaching the truth. But, how do you know they all are preaching the truth? To what degree of preaching does the "truth preaching" become a fact? If they missed it on one issue would they still be "preaching the truth?" Just askin'

It's very unfortunate that these men find "profit" in preaching things far removed from the truth.
