"I thought maybe the point of this thread was forgiveness. But, I have been surprised that Vince has not really mentioned this as the point of his post."
Thank you, BC. The purpose of my post was to point out that Jim is not the monster he is being betrayed as. I don't have to slander Jim to show that he has a long history of serious wrongs against the saints, and I'm one of those he has wronged. But it's hard enough to forgive Jim for what he's done, without adding things he has not done.
In forgiving a grievous wrong, there are two opposite mistakes. One is to say that he's the man of God, so it isn't his fault. That is the official position of HAC and OBC, and it ignores the fact that God grants responsibility according to ABILITY, not Godliness. It also excuses leaders form taking responsibility for their sins. Jim is not a man of God, and he never was, even though he preached strongly at HAC that he was.
The other mistake is to say that if I am right, then my opponent must be a monster. This ignores the fact that God works in the lives of all His saints, including Jim. I worked for him in Oklahoma, and I assure you that he had improved from HAC. (He was still pretty bad, though). As hard as it is to believe, Jim has his good points, and I did learn good things from him.
