Brother Epley an example for all of us.

In the thread Judge Not I tried to put some scriptures to help us balance our words. It is not always what we believe that is or is not offensive. It is how we say it and how we treat others that believe different than us.
I have written a long time on this forum and have taken notice of Elder Epley. He believes different than many people here yet his words are not offensive. He is an example to all of us no matter how we believe.

We may want to add others to the list I am sorta busy right now however I was thinking of good examples even in differences...

Hehehehehe! Apparently you have never read where he says people are going straight to hell for this or that! Even so, I really like Brother Epley. He can tell me I am going to split the pit any time he wants!

Yes, Rico I have but he brings in things in a way that he is not offensive...well at least to me I think he is an example of a very conservative preacher but most of us would stick up for him because even though he expresses what he feels to be truth I have never found him offensive...not even about the women preacher issue...he doesn´t believe in them ( but they exist..ha) but I don´t think he would hurt anyone on purpose.

You know we can tell people in a tone..you are going to burn...and not be offensive and say the same words in another tone and cause great hurt.

I think we have other people on the forum that are not offensive and believe completely different from the elder...what I am really trying to say our words should be kind no matter what we think is truth...

I do not think my friend Sherri is offensive...I do not think Tina or Renda are offensive. However sometimes we have people that are so offensive...I usually just skip over their posts.
I do understand there are times we have to make known how we feel...I feel the Branhamite doctrine is devilish and evil and right down dirty...I will speak out against it. There are churches that in my opinion are nothing more than cults I will speak out against such things but to personally hurt someone is not my style.

Thank you for the compliment. Yes I do think some things or beliefs will send folks to hell but I am not rejoicing over the fact.

Anyway what I was trying to say I think the elder is an example and even though on a subject or two we disagree on I have no problem reading his posts.

I have to keep from offending myself most of the time, so when do I have time to worry about anyone else?

I like Brother Epley, I am looking forward to the day we get to meet in person...

I agree with most of these posts, however I think Brother Epley should come to Mineola, Texas and preach so I can tell whether he is offensive or not (just kidding). I agree Sister Alvear he has a right spirit. Something I strive for.
