I'm sorry, but I take a lot of what David Cloud says with a heaping teaspoon of salt. His pharisaical attitude, trying to live by the letter instead of the spirit of the law is abhorrent, and his dissecting of everyone else's ministry is harmful, and detrimental to the cause of Christ.

I don't believe that Graham is one who believes in the 1,2,3 pray after me salvation, at least not totally. I've heard him say that there's got to be a penetrant heart. He's said time and again "no fruit, no root, showing no salvation." His cousin used to be my pastor years ago in Tremont...

You truly live in a parallel universe, don't you?

Grow up! You're being an @$$. Sexual perversion is ANY sexual deviation from God's direction. Yes, there are absolutely reasons to be concerned about those who direct their attentions towards a child. If anyone's thought processes or accusations are incorrect it's YOURS, not mine, not Alayman's...

Where in the world have I EVER said that? Calm down, Francis! Again you're flying off the handle. There's something very wrong with your thinking when you have to try to attribute things said or thought to a person when it's not so. Maybe it's time for you to grow up a bit, and to remove your...

Then, "let he that is without sin cast the first stone."

Wow! When you're wrong, you're REALLY wrong! You should check who said what instead of just flying off the handle like that! 😉

It's very possible! They're promoting every other kind of perversion, including the sexual mutilation of children! It's sad...

Wow...thank GOD that YOU are not GOD. God forgives. God cleans people up and restores them. If you don't believe this, may YOU are part of the problem as well as the rapist. If they're never able to be restored, with restrictions and accountability, and fellowship, then, and I apologize for...

I'm never going to let someone just walk back in as a church member without repentance and accountability for the rest of his life. I've seen far too many reinstalled into churches in areas of responsibility, and this should NEVER happen.

For a while he WAS preaching the Jesus of the Bible. It was about the time he was losing some of the new parishoners that he changed from the "Baptist" moniker to the "Bible" moniker. Friends of ours left the church because of the continued controversies with his wife, money missing, his being...

When my wife was in the Vanderbilt Trauma Center from being rear-ended by a foreigner at over 100 mph, we had a "chaplain" from the hospital come in to pray for her and to attempt to give her comfort. The doctors had given my wife less than a 10 percent chance to recover. The chaplain was an...

My friends in Chattanooga tell me that he's a KOOK! I don't doubt that. He's been the subject of many pastors in our area as they preach against his antics, yet some of them seem to be involved in many of the same things. It's sad to see this. It's a blot on the cause of Christ...yet we know...

I agree that Brent Stevens and aleshanee have shown great courage in sharing their stories. My ex-girlfriend, high school sweetheart, was groomed by a youth worker and then also a Christian school teacher. It came down to discovery on my part when it came to the youth worker. She babysat for...

WE are to forgive, but that doesn't mean we have to remain in fellowship with the person or persons involved. We forgive because Christ forgave us, and it's clear that if WE don't forgive, then he won't forgive us.

Yes sir, it would. ALL these kinds of things should be handled first and foremost at the church level, followed by the legal, etc.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I was attacked by Mr. Locke several times online because I called out several things I had heard from friends and former churchmates in other churches who had gone to Locke's church when it was still Global Vision BAPTIST Church. I contacted him when I learned of...

It's been a while since I've been here, and I'm sorry for that. It's been a long, long couple of years for my wife and I. We have had at least nine family members and friends pass away since 2024. We've lost a sister, father, brother-in-law, nephew, aunt, and uncle just in the last 12 months...

I have to agree...and David still seemed to be connected to a local preacher here in Tennessee, David Baker, who molested one of his own underage children, was arraigned and handed over for trial. The day he was arraigned he went into the restroom of the hospital in this small town where he...

This is becoming increasingly common in our churches today, and it's a blot on the name of Christ. When things like this are posted on a public forum for conversation it makes all the worse. Consider the unsaved people who come to this site and try to see what Christianity is. Discussion for...
