"In order to build a new relationship with Jesus, as you proclaim to want to do, you need to first destroy the polluted foundation set by the Bergs and their minions"
the way you formulate things gives the impression, that you doubt that in me and you hint at it, that you've done it??!!...not may be your intention, but that is the way you came across all the time...
You may not want to believe it...but I have a new relationship with Jesus...because I left TFI and hate the evil ways I did then...and much of that is still done by them I suppose...so that is kind of "funny" for me...that you still "bark" at my tree
You come across as someone looking for skeletons in the wardrobe...my interpretation...but with you I am now going on the "attack"...being outspoken...either you confirm it or deny it.
Fine...if you didn't hate Berg...I wanted to have it clarified...I do make a difference between sin and sinners, nevertheless I don't have to fellowship with great sinners that is NT by the way...
You say...you hated his teachings...well I suppose you mean...you learned to hate them...because otherwise you wouldn't have joined, right?...Berg's teaching I had right from babe's status...may be you joined earlier than that??...me 1976...so the letters were right from scratch there...and I didn't have any formal Bible knowledge prior to joining ...having been into esoteric..mystical stuff and Asian religions
so my discernment was pretty low...and by the way...I do not like charismatic movements anymore...I made that clear I hope...so from my perspective I put Berg in the right "box"...him being pentecostal earlier, then weird "ultra" charismatic...and I do know about the various use of "charis" throughout the NT...and yes I still believe in the charisma of Romans 6:23...in that sense I am still charismatic...if you wish
Anyway...Skep...you do come a bit across as talking from superior knowledge...better journey etc...may be me reading it into your posts...but since you have doubted my integrity regarding Berg..TFI...more than once...shedding doubts about my relationship with Jesus...I am entitled to speak up...but it seems you do not care...yet you try to "comfortingly" say...I have nothing against you...oh yeah...yawn..."fume"
Please enlighten me ...why your handle is Skep and not Faith??? you're skeptical about the board and/or it's users???...that's one way it "spells"/squares for me...no offense...it's a serious question
