I also apologize for taking a bit of a "knee jerk" reaction. I don't mean to be redundant in my apologies, but I was wrong, and I wanted to say that publicly. For the benefit of everyone else, I also ask this on board (instead of in a DM): Did you take Hebrew online, in a college setting, or...

It's a Ranger, and man is that sun hot :)! Going back out in a few... If I don't talk with you for the rest of the day, may you have a blessed weekend. And again...thanks for the time you put into your helpful reply. Who knows...maybe i'll take up Hebrew one day:).

I thank you for your explanation, and the time you took to write it. I do not speak Hebrew, and thus take you at your word for the definition as you described it. I agree with everything else that you said, (kindly understand, I am spending most of my day in the Carolina sun, as I sand my...

I do appreciate you bearing with me :). Can you explain how loosing wrath is an expression of love? I wish to understand. For you see, not one poster has denied the fact that God is love. Here's the problem: you can't reconcile that God is love, yet the way in which He works - His...

My theology is duplicitous, which says that my theology is purposed to deceive. If my fruit is said by you to be deceptive, what does that say about me? Yet in making these strong statements, you claim to wish me love. You still sidestepped my questions about God loosing His wrath upon the...

You're saying that I am being duplicitous, which is to say that I consciously purpose to be deceptive. Nice. God is love. Yes, we agree on this point. Does God have any other attributes, or is love God's sole attribute? In Matthew 23, Jesus lamented the lost condition of His elect. But...

Does God hate Satan?

How do you know that the Sword will be wielded by love? How do you know the Swordsman will do so with a broken heart and tears? What verses support what you're teaching? Not a single one. God is not only a God of love; He's a God of justice, yet justice will be loosed only at an appointed...

I am not being insincere in asking: how would you like me to approach this? This Pastor lives in the Deep South, where 1.8 million dollars will buy you a palace. If/when someone derides our God with scorn and ridicule, because they view the clergy living in excessive luxury, as leaches who...

It stinks, but it's reality. We have to be ever vigilant, because people aren't going to cut us slack.

While there's one part of me that agrees, that this was a decision made "in house," the other part of me looks at it thusly: People outside of the faith seldom look at us as individuals; they seldom see our decisions in singularity; they tend to look at us as a collective group. Few people...

This kinda hits "home" for me, as we currently live 90 minutes from Greenville, and are considering a move to the City. It seems as though a few area newspapers picked up the story, and people are kidding themselves, if they think that this type of extravagance doesn't feed the cynics.

Relentless Church bought John Gray a $1.8M house in Simpsonville "At the time, Gray was living in a $1.8 million home that was bought by the church in October. Church leaders said the Relentless-owned home was needed to attract a leader of Gray's caliber." "The existence of the church-owned...

Okay :)
