I keep having interaction with FBC / HAC people in business, personal and every day interactions. In most of them, all I see is rudeness, arrogance and hateful behavior. I am overly friendly, kind and polite with them and I get nothing close in return.
I am shocked that after the fall of their "great one" that these people have not been humbled at all.
Is this a case of "everything's alright in my Father's hose" and they do not see the sin of pride in the camp? it is not alright - they have a horrible testimony in Northwest Indiana.
I am not trying to be mean or attack them, but come on....this prideful behavior must make the community ill.
As one that has seen and heard much at FBCH I no longer have the prideful we are better than you attitude.
Many of us older ones clearly see the fallacy of big-ism and greatest-ism and the rest of the
superlative -isms.
These are both nearly always fatal diseases when inflicting both pastor and people.
JH taught us FBCH was the only hope for America. Of course that's a lie.
JH was the only one that could save America he was truly an arrogant narcissist.
His way was the only way and he knew best, just ask him. My way or the highway.
Many of us bought into that philosophy, it has nearly destroyed FBCH.
Eyes are now opened. JH and his son and his son-in-law are now rarely mentioned any more.
As an example, on the anniversary of JH death there was no mention made of him publicly at all.
No flowers no nothing. Just like he never existed.
We do talk about our first pastor the American Baptist Allen Hill.
There are those that still worship JH memory, but they are few and far between.
I apologize to all for the rank heresy and false doctrines, even Catholic doctrines that were taught.
We no longer have a pastor that drags a verse out of context, twists it until it is no longer recognizable and
then rants and raves about what he believes, his own private interpretation, completely disregarding the
context and what the Bible actually says.
Our present pastor routinely asks us to point out anything he says that might be contrary to scripture.
Pastor Wilkerson never says close your Bibles and look right at me, rather he encourages us to check
up on him to see if he is rightly interpreting the Bible.
This is the kind of pastor we were looking for.
We followed the listing of pastoral requirements found in Titus and Timothy while disregarding personal
opinions and mans philosophies and traditions about what a pastor should be.
We had had enough of the other kind that was always right in his own eyes.
When a mans teenage son is the World's Youngest Youth Directer and a raving whore-monger that man
should no longer be a pastor. IMHO.
We have been reaping the whirlwind for decades because of his wicked son.
Now we see these same kind of men pastoring and completely disregarding what God says.
Once again pride and arrogance rule. We experienced this for decades at FBCH.
The men who pastored at Bro. Wilkersons former church, who had committed great sins and
unrighteousness are still at it today. They are digging the hole deeper.
Some people never learn from their mistakes.
I cringe when a guest speaker says something about the Great First Baptist Church of Hammond.
Then they brag on us and tell us how important to America we are.
I want to stand up and shout
"Only God is great, we're all wicked sinners saved by grace."
Only God Is Great
