Letter To Administrators, a plea to do what's right... Options

[Joe Smith]

When Paul reproved wrong in the church, he did not loose his self-control. He explained the reason of his action.
Paul wrought so as to leave the impression that he was a friend of the erring! He made them understand that it cost him pain to give them pain!
In the attempts made to find wrong with the Ministry of God, we are not dealing with just men. We are also dealing with the Lord.
We best stop playing God. We are all soon going to see the God of Mercy and Justice. It’s not only written here but in the Books of Life. .
2 Cor. 2:4-10
“For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.”.. read the rest for yourselves..... These are Paul’s words. This is Paul’s heart in reproof. Yes, he says reprove.... but do it in LOVE. SOP says we should be willing to "give our life" for that straying one.... I don't see that here at BSDA.
It grieves my heart to see a group who has taken physical handicaps and made jokes about them. The physical appearance of God’s children has been assessed and ridiculed (stroke, 55 Buick with doors open, plastic hair etc.). These are just some of the comments that are being stated here. God have mercy on us!
We may "throw out" PHILLIPIANS 4:8 but it does not change anything. Your opinion or mine.... doesn't change God's word. He is right... we are wrong.

Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, and if there is anything praiseworthy-- meditate on these things.

There is lot's of talk about watchman on the wall. I agree entirely!. This watchman is sounding the trumpet against the content of BSDA. I see no "anguish of heart" being presented by the administration of BSDA. I have been told numerous times " if you don't like it .... LEAVE IT". I am not going to explain anything to you... if you don't like it... don't come back I was told, in essence, by Calvin in an early email. I ask you.... administrators... Is this Christ like?

I believe the "handwriting is on the wall" for BSDA.

I therefore ask you, Calvin, please take my name off the membership of BSDA. I no longer want to be a part of this ugly tool. I would encourage ALL who are serving God in ALL HONESTY to do the same...

I also know that I will be attached viciously in the posts to come... that is... if this post gets posted at all...this will just PROVE MY POINT.

God have mercy on us all..
Joe Smith

you, calling yourself reproving wrong here, missed this particular pitch... strike one

Paul wrought so as to leave the impression that he was a friend of the erring!

If a man will have friends, he must first show himself friendly... you missed this pitch too... strike two

He made them understand that it cost him pain to give them pain!

you've given nothing and it has cost you nothing... we'll call this a foul tip...

Besides; so much of your time is taken up being a tool for something far uglier... hypocrisy is so unbecoming... you castigate the members of this forum for seeking to convince people to reject 3ABN because they feel that what is going on with the persons who are in charge of it crucifies Christ afresh and puts Him to an open shame... yet you attempt to use the same method and means to get people to reject this forum... for the same reason; because you feel that the level of protest against what goes on requires it... so does that mean it's only a valid form of protest when you agree with the protest and it only becomes unChristlike when you do not?

That's strike 3, looking... Casey


Don't let the doorknob hit ya where the dog shoulda bit ya...

As with any "preaching", I hope that is is lived by the preacher as well.
Where are your "friends" when you are on giving us this advice? Hopefully reading it as well?

I just realized something.... Mr Smith is saying good-bye, but we don't do good-bye threads..... just leave and may God bless.... this thread is closed.....
