"Won't go into any names but some people write to me then use what I write as weapons in meetings against me." - Phoenix_Rising_Ashes
I sure can relate to that. A certain "puritan" (not naming any names, you understand) thought it fine and good to call me an whoremonger and my wives whores and then cast me out for correcting her in public despite the fact that she actually refused to repent of it. Then she had the audicity to invite me back to one of her discussion groups, thinking all was fine and good, only to cast me out again, and again, and again. Yet she had not one shred of evidence to support her allegations that I was an "whoremonger" or that my wives were "whores". . . and the unmitigated arrogance to consider herself a Christian. Well, she might very well be a Christian, but she sure isn't any Apostolic Oneness.
She would preach (yes, that's right... preach... to a man) about long suffering and temperence, and gentleness, and being sweet and nice and loving, reminding me that I am out of line for being harsh with witches that believe flat-out Gnostic doctrine to promote it in her group! But it's just fine and dandy to call a man a whoremonger. Of course, her rule is no name-calling but it sure doesn't seem to apply to her. Then she has the gall to say that she only made that statement to me in e-mail. lol... Friend, she made it publicly, in her no longer existent discussion GROUP.
Before that, she was fighting to protect lesbians and Atheists because I called them what they were... of course, I got kicked out again for my views, but I'm a man and I'm not going to be beat into submission by Atheists and lesbians, much less an alleged Pastor's wife. I'm gonna say sumthin' about it when I see it for what it is. The people she was defending were in fact, SELF-PROCLAIMED, and UNREPENTANT Atheists and Lesbians! When she ran out of reasons to condmen me she even went so far as to suggest that I was in fact, the Atheist, myself! Now she protects witches; and once again, after stoning me, casts me out for proclaiming what GOD ALMIGHTY called "two wives" at least half a dozen times in the Holy Bible.
But that's not all... She would come at me with OLD TESTAMENT scripture to justify her reasons for opposing me and in the same breath remind me that we don't follow the OLD TESTAMENT anymore and that the Law of the OLD TESTAMENT no longer applies with respect to what is moral and decent and good! Oh yes, when she thinks that the O.T. Law suits her fancy, she comes against me with it forgetting that the same Law she so ignorantly resorts to, also recognizes the state of "two wives" repeatedly. Folks, that's "two wives" �?not "two lesbians", not "two whores" (as she so fondly calls them), not "two strumpets", not "two prostitutes", not "two harlots", not "two trollops", not "two adultresses", no, no, GOD didn't call them that: GOD said they had to be honored �?both of them �?as "two wives". No, this is not a dietary law. No, this is not a law in the commandments of the Levitical Priesthood pertaining to those ordinances that Paul said was "abolished". No, this is GOD's MORAL LAW. . . And it is still in effect today as much as it was the day it was when it was first written by the finger of GOD.
I used to wonder if perhaps she was one of these so-called, NKJV "New Covenant" Bible thumpers who believe that only the Ten Commandments apply in GOD's law today, but no such thing: She'll often quote Malachi and many other Old Testament books against me but run back to her New Age per version of Cafeteria Christianity as soon as the kitchen gets too hot to support the witches brew that she conjures on the altar of self-right pride. She takes a shot, misses, and is reprimanded, and runs home to whine about it. Has been that way for four years now... caught betwixt and between the old and the new... a true blue legalist. She speaks of a Pretender when she, herself, is the biggest Pretender in her own discussion group. What utter hypocrisy!
