Quix: She said a lot more stuff that was more vulnerable than —a list of other Pentecostals and other Evangelicals who parade around in the stinking finery of their own self-righteousness and self-justifications.

Wait a minute -- you said in post 10 Rock throwing tends to be a pretty hazardous hobby.

-- why are you now throwing rocks?

HALLANDALE BEACH – THE VOICE magazine, Advancing Christian Life & Culture - August 28, 2008

Randy, pastor of the controversial Without Walls megachurch in Tampa, Fla., has given $2,000 to Obama’s camp and went record in the Tampa Tribune earlier this month during a town hall meeting in St. Pete as an official supporter, according to the Tampa Tribune.

The Voice magazine is still trying to reach Randy White for comment.

Specifically, Randy White, the pastor of the controversial Without Walls megachurch, reportedly told a Trib reporter he’s supporting Obama and thinks his ex-wife and former partner in the church, Paula White, does also.

Could Randy be right? Paula anted up $2,300 to Obama’s campaign, according to Federal Election Commission records.

PAULA WHITE DENIES OBAMA SUPPORT

However, Paula’s PR firm has reached out to The Voice magazine to deny the Tribune’s claims. The following is Paula’s official “political position”:

“Regardless of any media stories or blog posts, I am unquestionably 100% pro-life and pro-family values. My political position has always been bipartisan and nonpartisan. I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion and I talk regularly with and minister to people who hold a broad range of opinions.

“Several months ago I was invited to meet Sen. Obama at an event hosted by Oprah Winfrey. It was an opportunity to meet him personally and to hear what he stands for. The apostle, Paul, said “make the most of every opportunity.” This was one such opportunity. The cost of admission to that event was the “donation”, which came from my personal funds.

“I do not endorse candidates and I have not endorsed Sen. Obama. Although people with whom I work on ministry matters may respond to inquiries about my opinions, that is their speculation: no one is authorized to speak for me on personal or political matters. I am a Christian and a proud American. I am staunchly anti-abortion. Any other labels placed on me are given without my consent. Ultimately, I am always focused on bringing people into relationship with Jesus Christ and allowing His light to shine through my life.”

In addition, how is it possible to continuously cast aspersions at other Churches but not this instance? Could we have an inherent bigotry existing in the heart or perhaps some hypocrisy?

seems so

I suppose you think you’re God’s anointed messenger to deliver yet another mountain worth?

Don't you see your own actions when you do this and now preaching to others?

I've never seen any of your criticisms of Benny Hinn except that "he's a strange fish".

That's quite a bit of verbiage, but it really doesn't get to the point at issue.

Basically you're saying that you throw rocks even though you warn others not to because "God lays it on your heart" - in other words you are arguing that you have special divine permission to sin.

After making this amazing statement, you then accuse others of blasphemy.

Fascinating.

****Show me a man who honestly believes he deserves to go to Hell but is truly thankful for God’s Grace that will gain him entrance to Heaven and I’ll show you a Christian.****

Very true.

The first 3 words speak volumes:

“Pastor Paula White”

It gets worse, though:

“I came to put every devil on notice ... I’m getting my dream back, I’m getting my prophesy back, I’m getting my vision back, I’m getting my anointing back, I’m getting my strength back.”

Guess she’s going to do it all on her own.

“16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” - Psalms 51

“3. In same book asserts Jesus was made sin”

Scripturally ignorant Catholics should refrain from rock throwing.

2 Corinthians 5:21 - “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

"I'm above the struggle and beneath the radar. I love my husband and my husband loves me. And we do. The kids are doing good. And millions of dollars in the bank. Not sick," she recalled feeling at the time.

Millions in the bank? From a "ministry"?

Fleecing the flock is more like it. She ought to be ashamed of herself banking millions off of the good faith donations of others.

I may only get to that after I get home. I’m not willing to type about a complex topic on this small keyboard.

Thanks for your kind words. I didn’t expect anything I said on this thread to result in anything but attacks! LOL.

Bless you Dear Sister in Christ.

Thanks for being so TERMINALLY WRONG yet again.

Given that you seem to have 0.00000000000% understanding of my words on the topic so far, I have 0.000000000% confidence that you’d understand any more of my words on the topic.

I probably won’t waste words trying.

Quix, this is the least impressive attempt to justify your hypocrisy yet.

You have condemned those who have criticized White and then immediately turned around and criticized others.

When asked to explain the inconsistency, you stated that White should somehow be exempt because she is a public figure - which, let's be serious, is an absolutely ridiculous argument.

Then you said that you were exempt from your own rule because God Himself had instructed you to criticize others.

These are the facts. I understand your words perfectly.

I also understand that your spiritual pride is such that you would rather implicate the Almighty Himself in your wrongdoing that admit to your wrongdoing.

Interestingly, this is precisely the moral pathology that White exhibits: her words are not only dishonest and uncandid but defiant.

Unlike you who blames the Lord for his sins, she plays it safe and blames the Devil - but the same attitude of avoiding the blame one has richly earned for one's own repeated transgressions is there.

White's mocking of her own flock's legitimate requests for pastoral care tells us exactly the kind of person she is: Simon Magus.

I'll leave you with this thought: it is one thing to repeatedly sin while admitting that one is weak and has sinned and done wrong. It is another to repeatedly sin while insisting that one is strong and one's sins are really righteous acts blessed by God.

What a slightly interesting super mangling of my words.

What a straw dog.

So typical of RC’s so used to the Vatican Cult’s mangling of Scripture, history and daffynitions.

Quix (post 10): Rock throwing tends to be a pretty hazardous hobby.

Quix (post 115) Those who cannot discern the difference between flesh-driven, personal/organizational idolatrous pique rock throwing vs declaring Biblical and reality truth out of a good heart and motivation . . . probably should shut-up until they can.

So, conditions on rock throwing now? First no rock throwing at the divorcee having a fling with Benny boy, the guy who talks about 9 gods?

hmm...Quix (post 10): Rock throwing tends to be a pretty hazardous hobby.

Interesting -- that's pretty clear that your posts exonerate Paula who boasted in her journal about the "millions" she has in the bank as a result of fleecing her flock

Do you consider two ministers of the Gospel, who are not married to one another, who are photographed hand-in-hand coming out of a hotel in Rome to be engaging in acceptable behavior?

Is that acting "from a pure heart"?

What a slightly interesting super mangling of my words.

hmm...post 55

  1. It’s never my desire nor intent to diminish at all the super priority of OBEDIENCE
  2. I know it’s very easy to take potshots from the sidelines.
  3. There are at least two sides to every story.
  4. Folks judging from the sidelines need to guard their hearts, minds, souls, attitudes else they reap unnecessary condemnation to themselves in the process.

Interesting -- yet aren't your posts taking the same potshots and stone throwing?

Matthew 7:3-5

And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
[4] Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?
[5] Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
