In other words, Dick, you are saying to the world that you think they
really are "liars for Jesus?" And that their lies are made for three
reasons, (1) to bring souls into the kingdom under false pretenses, (2)
ego and (3) financial reasons?
That is how I read what you have posted.
It is a serious charge to make against a fellow Christian.
I will not make it. While the charge is logically possible, I think its
probability is vanishingly small.
You also wrote: "I think it is inherent on the rest of us to expose them
at every opportunity, and bring their ministry of misinformation into the
glaring light of day."
With that I agree. But I insist (for myself at least) that whatever I say
or write will be done in a civil manner. I do not always succeed in this.
For instance, after reflection, I have decided that my use of the term
"roster of shame" recently was out of line, and for that I apologize.
