Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Just so we’re clear.
Removing a man from ministry because he is disqualified is NOT the same as “casting stones” at him.
If you’re pushing that narrative, stop it. You are biblically illiterate and need to be taught by qualified men who can rightly exposit the Word of God.

Ecclesiastes 8:11
Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.
@farmingandJesus
You are absolutely negative.
That is absolutely appropriate.
Because you are absolutely right.
Positivity for positivity's sake in the "church" has won us our current national condition. The blame should be laid squarely on the pulpits of the American

"I don't care what God says in His Word about character qualifications of an Elder/Teacher in His Church. I just want my ears tickled; even if the tickler is a pervert."
There. Fixed it for you
FYI ALL elders meetings
@GatewayPeople
are recorded (audio). This has been the case since its inception. If they want to demonstrate their ignorance of the past, it would be great to have the audio recordings released for all to hear... say from '05 to '08 ish. Just a thought

She does indeed traffic in rumor. It’s really sad that she has to, isn’t it?
Perhaps we should become transparent as pastors and put her out of a job.
I don’t think she’d mind.
@watchkeep
Having known him for 25 years, I want to publicly state that this was exactly my experience with this man. Many other ex Gateway employees know this is true. A jealous, insecure bully. Glad he is no longer able to abuse those under him.

@jimcosman2
Great job stating the whole truth here, Justin. Men who need machismo and fleshly vulgarity are still just boys.
Men of God know the sovereignty of the one who bought them, are confident in His eternal decrees, and have no need for childish exhibitions of the flesh.

Here's a more thorough transcript of much of my interview with WFAA. Hopefully the four points I was trying to drive home at the end will be the "take away".

@CSLewisDaily
Or.... we could go ahead and picture hell as Jesus described it in Luke 16:19-31. Yes. I’ll go with Jesus’ description since He actually knows for sure what He’s talking about.

@LisaBevere
Lisa is confusing those who are bringing truth to bear on darkness with “cursing” people.
But this is her long-standing track record of false teaching.
@watchkeep
This statement is an outrage to anyone with the slightest clue of what biblical repentance looks like. Absolutely shameful
To the Numbers 6 blessing:
The Lord has blessed and protected us by removing a deceiving pedophile from a platform of power and influence.
You’re welcome
If you live by the praises of people, you’ll die by their criticisms.
Live by God’s Word and you’re free to love others; whether they praise you or curse you.

@GatewayPeople
stated publicly in 2022 that “every elder received a word from God affirming James as the next senior pastor”.
“A Word From God”
Liars. You unqualified group of unqualified fakes. Resign!
Your fake “words from God” are a lie.

@MelissaBTX
@watchkeep
Correct. And those who are calling for truth to be exposed in defense of the victims are NOT the perps.
The reverse-blame is unconscionable. The term “gaslighting” doesn’t do it justice.
If you attack the truth tellers, you are in league with the perps.
Fear not.
2020 is not the year that God stops being faithful.
Psalms 119:90
Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
you have established the earth, and it stands fast.

So to call sin “sin” is now a sin.
Gotcha
Then under that “logic” didn’t she just sin by calling out sin in those who are pointing out sin?
This sounds like an Abbot and Costello skit.
@DarrellLucus
@Mike_Hixenbaugh
Oh, absolutely. That’s why they are called “mouthpieces”. Those are Robert’s words. No question.
It’s a new level of cruel to treat your victim with such malice and manipulation.
I believe most of us are getting a lesson on the mental abuse these girls go through.

Sharpe will answer to THE judge.
“Shameful” doesn’t even do it Justice.
If you need a professional mouthpiece to spit your manipulations, you’re not only evil, you’re a coward.
Mr. Sharpe, she was 12 years old.
What part of flipping tables do we not understand.
Is it “flipping” ?
Or is it “tables” ?
Some tables need to be flipped when children are being raped.
If that doesn’t seem “Christlike” to you, I’m not sure you’ve ever met the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Enough already!
“An inappropriate relationship.”
“A moral failure.”
“An affair.”
Give me a breath. It’s called “adultery”. Owning it is the only path to freedom.
Whitewashing terms only serves to propagate the darkness.
Now, if you can’t grasp that, you are “An Idiot”.
Deep theology produces high doxology.
No cheerleaders, guilt trips, manipulation, smoke machines, or other needed.
When the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus in the Scriptures, true worship needs no coercion.
.....a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!" But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!" Luke 11:27-28
That time when Jesus put the kabosh on Mary worship.
@JustinPetersMin
Bravo, Amigo! And Amen. False prophets with false prophecies in false ministries making false disciples out of false converts for false motivations under a false god.
"I declared the former things long ago And they went forth from My mouth, and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass."

No passive foreknowledge here. It's sovereign action by a sovereign God.
Same w/ salvation. Christ will have His Church.

You should see what the admins at our church are putting up with. Somehow, here in bizzaro world, people who speak out against evil are evil. While people who perpetrate and conceal evil are forgiven and innocent.
Isaiah 5:20a
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil, …
