[QUOTE="McMurdo, post: 69285852, member: 384927"] I have heard JP off and on over the years, and I struggle to come up with a single thing he has said theologically that I disagree with. I think I am very close to him in terms of belief. My difficulty is with the abuse he hurls at other Christian leaders, which I believe to be beyond the pale. For that reason I steer clear of him. I'm not sure it really serves me if a verbal bully is standing up for what I believe in. You don't tend to win opponents to your point of view by name-calling either them or people they respect. Some scriptures: A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1 Patience can persuade a prince, and soft speech can break bones. Proverbs 25:15 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. Matthew 5:22 It is the latter of those scriptures makes me shudder for Jacob. Some of the people he verbally abuses are fine Christian leaders who love the Lord and serve the body of Christ faithfully, albeit that they may have some things wrong. Here are some of the words I have heard him use of people: Lunatic, fruitcake, ignoramus, charlatan, moron, crackpot, thug, old skunk. I think by using these terms of brothers and sisters in Christ, JP is skating on thin ice, however correct he may be. He is showing something less than acceptance and love, in my lowly opinion. I keep away from people who are as abusive as this. [/QUOTE]
