Matt says:
No, but I can't trust anything you say because you are steeped in hypocrisy. You condemn me for doing something and then do it yourself. I can't imagine you are doing all of this out of concern for anyone in particular or out of service for Him. This is a matter of pride with you.
And then, in the next breath...
good night. Lord bless
Seriously, I mean this. This is really embarrasing. It is obvious to everyone that people from the Assembly have some real problems, some more than others. The fact that Matt still goes to an Assembly bible study, and feels that he learned "real love" there only proves my point.
That the rest of you were foolish enough to stay there for decades
reinforces this fact.
May I make an observation?
I'll wager that most people here recognize that Matt needs some serious help. I also think that Matt can get some help on this board, and especially on the other website, where all the articles are. However, no one is going to get any help until we stop this foolishness.
My suggestion is to just stop responding to this nonsense. If someone posts that a person is a "self centered jerk," as has been done, or that another is psychotic, just ignore it.
Most normal people would sit up and take notice if someone calls them psychotic, or self centered. However, on this board, the dysfunctional members, instead of checking themselves, only continue to rant! I am speaking specifically to those who are doing the talking.
Matt, you amaze me, and although I pity you, and pray for your salvation, I am not going to speak kindly to you for the words you put here. You are wrong, especially lately. I prophecy that if you display this kind of behavior in the "real" world, you will have great difficulty, in the work place, and especially if you should ever have a family. This just isn't normal, polite, or civil dialogue, let alone Christian dialogue. Don't yield your members to this unrighteousness any longer.
Verne, mostly you just quote Matt, but by trying to reason with this young man, you are only provoking him to more folly. You have not stooped anywhere near to Matt's level, and anyone who has been on this board for a few months knows that you never say things like you have said until the offense becomes very grievous indeed. Notwithstanding, Matt doesn't deserve your entreaty. He does deserve to be warned regarding his speech, which I think has been done repeatedly. Reject a divisive man after the first or second admonition.
Matt, can you please share you testimony with us? Tell us how you came to Christ, and how you received the gospel of God's grace?
perhaps not luking so much.....
