Greetings EdB! I think EVERYONE is "of use" as we are all members of the same body. It might be wise to remember that when one member suffers, we all do! I have sent the following to Reformer Joe and I would like to share these thoughts with you too. I am writing this in love and with the hope for the Peace of Jesus to prevail. How jealously the reputation of John MacArthur has been guarded! I wonder what he would think of this thread. But more importantly, how do you think OUR Lord feels when His children cross words with one another? We are participating on the Forum to share God's WORDS - it is a privilege, yet I don't think anyone should ever be made to feel that they have to withdraw! "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." Ephesians 4:31-32 I believe it is important for us to recognize and respect our differences and yet love at all times, even when it becomes very difficult. Not only did Jesus tell us to love one another - but the world will know that we are His because we do! You have had have an apology, I hope that you will extend the same grace that has been extended to you. With love in Jesus for YOU! Mommapbs |

Mommapbs If you notice I just completed my plea to Zach. To address your concerns study what happened. An incorrect and possibly injurious quote was contributed to John MacArthur. The person that made the mistake was asked repeatedly if he was sure of his facts. He more than once stood firm that is what MacArthur had said. Without correcting that situation an untruth would have prevailed and possibly the veracity of an innocent man left in question. I didn’t involve myself in this situation to attack Zach my intent was to bear witness to the truth. I regret I allowed my zeal to be involved and for that I apologize, however do not apologize for setting the record straight. Your involvement while appreciated was unneeded as Joe and I have both made overtures to Zach for him to remain on the forum. In the same love of Jesus to you! EdB |

Greetings EdB! I was glad to read your post this AM as well as the one from Reformer Joe. I did read the posts and while I agree that we should never misrepresent another individual, in the middle of the night I wondered why no one rose to Charles Stanley's defense? Should we judge his theology from snippets of quotes too? Since I really don't know either theologian, I am not in a position to speculate on what prompted any of these remarks. I prefer to go to God and ask Him to reveal to me what I need to know. This is what makes His Word so precious - it is personal. How easy it is to see the speck in another's eye while ignoring the plank in our own! Thank you for your apology as well as your declared intent to bear witness to the truth. I look forward to reading your posts on the forum as well as those of others. We are ALL needed here! Blessings, Mommapbs |

Mommapbs I can not answer for Charles Stanley as I do not read him therefore I do not know what his theology is. Your right no one should judge another's theology from some snipets of quotes. However they do often give a good idea of the direction the person is walking. However this was not the issue in this case. The issue was the “misquote” that was contributed to MacArthur. My intent and my action was to set the record straight. The issue wasn't a speck in someone's eye nor the plank in mine. The issue was an untruth was quoted and after repeated attempts to correct the mistake the person firmly stood on his mistake. At that point I got involved in the situation again not to attack anyone but to bring the truth to light. As I said before I may have done it with a little too much zeal for which I have regret and have apologized for. I understand and appreciate you piety of seeking only God for your information. However while I do enjoy reading others to see what God has revealed to them and that in no way lessens or effects what God reveals to me. In fact the whole idea of the church was so each of us could encourage, exhort, and edify each other in the faith. Mommapbs I said it before and I will say it again while I appreciate your intervention into this, I question some of the things you imply. How easy it is to see the speck in another's eye while ignoring the plank in our own! In the same of love of Jesus as you came to me and even more. EdB |

Greeting again EdB! You wrote: "I question some of the things you imply." in reference to my observation: How easy it is to see the speck in another's eye while ignoring the plank in our own! Please do not misunderstand me - the ointment I apply to myself is a salve to be recognized and shared. You are free to use it as needed. I cannnot assess YOUR need however, nor was that my intent of the observation. I think the Holy Spirit is perfectly capable of performing HIS work without MY interference! Hope this clears the air! Far be it for me to judge, lest I be judged! In Him who is our bond of Peace and Love! Mommopbs |
