When he mentioned VPW and God working together in the Legacy Book thread he mentioned VPW first. Before God. If VPW worked through God that clearly explains how it was God Breathed.

And a shortage of role models? Wasn't the attraction to VPW supposed to fill a void?

Yes. I'm wondering if a dog chasing it's tail fast enough can smell it's own dog-breathe and thinks it's another dog.

The PLAF definition of God-breathe?

Not if his audience was the bathwater.

The renewed mind is the KEY to power. Because that's all anyone who appreciates PFAL wants. Power. So much so they don't care if it's real or not.

You said used two question marks to be brief. Why would you need to be brief if not to save time?

Ah good. Details are important. I'm glad you saw that. There's so much possibility in those details. Innumerable, right? That's why you have the shorthand?

"Re-search" is the term they use so they can say "research" without meaning "research". Obviously a less than clever obfuscation. I learned the term when directly asking HQ leadership where the research was done. Yes, they don't want anyone to do actual review of VPW's "work", or think it can be understood and adapted without leadership's oversight and approval. Let alone incorporated into any growing, developing, constantly modified body of knowledge. Clearly not an organizations that can differentiate between life and death.

Was it a flaw? Or was it God's intent? How do you know?

It's not stealing it the name of God. It's conquering in the name of God. And we are more than conquers.

So, interpolate from extrapolated data inferred from subjective experience and THEN you will see the truth. I'm glad that point was finally explained.

But, I thought we save people first? Give them The Word FIRST. We take care of their hearts, LATER.

"I'm not yelling at you I'm loving you!!! . . . Renew your mind!!"

I'm not exactly sure what "American Christianity" is. What is he leaving? Is it some form of nationalism? I do know politics and religion were for a long time worked together in human history. If in the past few centuries we've tried to separate them, is there something lost that is not understood, yet? Those are two major way humans group together or make associations with each other. Wouldn't they continue to try to merge or overlap?

At least six cults could be started around these concepts. And if the power did go out, there would be no internet access, and the cults would become unstoppable.

I seem to remember WAP having more prerequisites than PFAL. A minimum number of fellowships to attend and maybe SIT prior to the class?

I don't remember VPW yelling in his class. LCM would begin to and catch himself once he got heated. Everyone would laugh and nod. So I would say the tone felt different.

I left. But because TWI uses The Bible, it can employ the Christians to do their dirty work. Eph 6:1 folks. Cute way to increase your numbers.

Newbies. AKA children.

I don't know that you have Asperger's. My question for you was my own and not "GSC". Nor was my question for sport. Your initial post starts of fairly logical but finishes in a confusing way. If you can see why you'll see why it rubs people the wrong way. You're free to restate your opening post for clarity.

Have you, who have been wronged, never wrong somebody else? We all do the same things in the flesh (Rom 2:1). - Rrobs, opening post I didn't say you complained. You're saying to disagree with doctrine is to be wronged?

In your opening post, you lay out the love is greater than faith and hope. Fine. But then you go into disagreement over doctrine, and that we should love those who disagree with our personal doctrine. Fine. Then you discuss forgiveness as part of love. Fine. Finally, you go into being wronged. How did you jump from disagreement over doctrine to being wronged and actions in the flesh? You go from almost specific to completely general in that post. I'd like it if you could fill in some missing information there. There seems to be a call to action at the end of your post, but I have no idea what you mean.
