Hello Coonskinner, The Spiritual, and The Religious,
How are you all?
Jesus said:
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." John 8:44
Paul said:
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12
Bruce Klein's Defence
Bruce Klein's audience is more than the internet, Coonskinner. He teaches about Jesus almost every Sunday morning in an Apostolic church's morning meetings giving the morning message/sermon. Where does it say a pastor must normally give the morning message? The Apostolic pastor trained in Canton, OH by Brother Joe Ellis (UPCI) at his Purpose Institute. The pastor recognizes his anointing as do many others who have Hotmailed and phoned him from the USA and many other countries. They all agree with his writings! They just don't post.
Bruce Klein is a Bible teacher at an Apostolic Bible institute, face to face. These classes are face to face not using the internet, Coonskinner.
Religious are those following man's traditions.
Spiritual are those being led by the Holy Spirit.
Coonskinner, is your comment the religious attacking the spiritual?
Good luck with that!
In Jesus, Brother Bruce

Hey Bruce, tell Bruce we all said hello and then he can pass it on to Bruce who can then tell Bro. Klein......
dude you are one really funny man, IAM wanted me to tell you that and IAM also is the kind of person who thinks people like Bruce Klein who post unfounded material on the forum needs to get a reality check, IAM wanted me to tell you that........
and he also wanted me to tell you that REV. IAM said, you gotta be kidding when he first read this post.....but IAM also wanted me to Thank You for giving him a good Sig. line..........:sshhh
At least one OP organization has gone on record against using the title "Rev."
This is from page 22 of the bylaws of The Church of Jesus Christ headquartered in Kingsport, TN
Section 5. Titles Used In Reference To The Minister
No minister in The Church of Jesus Christ shall be referred to as Reverend. The Bible gives titles to which we may refer to one another. They are: Bishop, Elder, Evangelist, Missionary, Pastor, Teacher, and Apostle
Huh?
Where do they see the word "missionary" in the Bible?
I guess you'd have to say missionary is an unbliblical, (evil,satanic?) man-made title too, huh?

They didn't mention the title "Prophet" either.

Isn't there a scripture about referring to your self in the third person?????
1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
It seems to me that Jesus didn't want his followers to give one another titles.
He said we are all brethren. If anyone would have had a title, I would imagine Paul would have. Yet he referred to himself as "Paul, a servant" or "Paul, an apostle" not "The Reverend Paul" or anything like that. I refer to my brothers and sisters in Christ by name, and at times with "brother" or "sister. If someone thinks they are more important than me because they have a piece of paper from some office that says they have a title, I'm sorry. I will not give anyone a title.
