Never met Ian in real life, and people are often different than your view of them if you only know them from an internet forum. But from what I have seen here, and I have been a member for a long time, I don't think Ian is a bully.

Hi Prezy,

Just one little comment I should make in support of your post. (before the Moddy gets his scissors out for some routine excision etc)

.. I have never felt intimidated by Ian at any time in the last 15 +/- a couple years nor at any time as Ian ever applied any pressure upon myself in any literary form whatsoever.

However I have found that Ian DOES display to myself the warrant to search out truth to very best of my own ability..

So "goose" to those who don't believe me and "blessings" to those who do

and blessings to Prezy also ..

Good morning, Mr (or Mrs) KJV-only.

well ian 2 people so far...not doing To bad...LOL. Two people isn't doing badly?! Okay, but I would've thought such a poor initial response to be suggestive more of a 'whimper' rather than of a 'bang'. HOW MANY DO THINK WILL VOTE??? LOL. Well, if we cross our fingers tightly, if the planets align, and if we're really lucky, the numbers might rise to five!

My advice to you was to use the 'poll' function available on this forum. Such a feature provides a graphical representation of the data without chewing up bandwith that happens with responses such as these very few, so on your behalf I've created one, here:

forum1.aimoo.com/revival/Off-topic-Anything-interesting-but-not-wholly-Revivalistic/Is-Didaktikon-a-bully-1-2055067.html

The poll will be open for one month, users may only vote once, and they must be registered users of the forum in order to vote.

Won't work anyway, those who think he is a bully just go away. All his little mates just stay and fawn over him. Vomitworthy stuff. I suspect the only reason Ian left revival is because Lloyd wouldn't give up his job.

                        Ian is trying to do the right thing but it's only in his own eyes and as he sees fit. If you dare say anyting against him he will belittle, degrade you, and then call you ..... " GOOSE ".  Like -  aallluurrrr  !!!!!   This means he is no better than anyone else .

Advise :    " Don't argue with a fool, you will only lower yourself to their level and be beaten by experiance".

                        It is because of Ian that not many now want to or are prepared to post here anymore because he will only treat them with contempt by spraying his knowledge and self-imposed authority over you ( just like Noel Hollins).    He is just like Julia Gillard ....  he    ' just doesn't get it' !!!!!  
                       I may be wrong but I thought that this site was set aside as the GRC Discusion Forum but it's been over run by other   'revialists'. That's ok if one sticks to GRC related topics but it doesn't appear to happen that way. 

                      Meanwhile to those who are genuine and want a chat, coffee, or help, feel free to contact me or anyone else here or by 'pm' (private message).

" Those are my principles and if you don"t like them, I do have others" Come-On ! always tell the truth motmot

 The problem is that you have come out of one of the branches of Revivalist Pentecostalism thinking you have seen the light, but fail to see you've brought most of your baggage with you.
Some go chasing rainbows in a more "moderate" Pentecostal "church" only to realise down the track that it's either the same manure but a different bucket, or it's a charade and disillusionment sets in once again.

Some get all bitter and twisted and they blame God for their lack of discernment in the first instance, and/or are willingly ignorant, in line with the Simon and Garfunkel song "The Boxer", "still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest".

The blessed ones by the grace of God, find this site and come across a dogged, importunate schoolmaster, who isn't interested in egos, hurt feelings, personal opinions, misplaced loyalties etc. He's a numbers man. His determination is to pluck as many out of the fire he can (Jude 1:22) and hasn't, nor wants the time to nurture adults that behave like children. John the Baptist didn't pussyfoot, neither did our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

He harps and harps and harps on about context, proof texting, twisting scripture to one's own heresy, the actual meanings and the time and place of the scriptures, hoping you'll listen. It takes a sledge hammer to break the hardest nuts.

He takes abuse, vilifying, character assassination, misinterpretation and downright lies told about him. But if one day the penny drops, you see the light, you stop arguing and listen et al and tell him you were wrong, he instantly forgives.

How do I know? Because such was I. Chief of sinners for some time. Thank you for your forbearance Ian. And thank you God for your grace.

Good afternoon, all.

This is certainly proving to be an interesting social experiment :) A few of the 'usual suspects' (a great movie, btw) made an accusation, one which the data up to this point doesn't seem to substantiate. As of right now it appears to be 8:1 in favour of me not being a bully.

Blessings,

Ian

As is the ‘norm’ with me, I looked up the word ‘bully’ from various sources. It appears the original meaning is misinterpreted in modern day language. E.g. Google  ‘Bully Pulpit’.
Keep up the good work Ian. 'bully' all you like.

Hello, Guest.

Eph 2:8 & 9  For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God,  not of works, lest anyone should boast. proof text,proof text,proof text,you are all like a broken record. your works are all of SELF and BOASTING. Given that you've just demonstrated why some of us do cry 'proof-text'!, perhaps you should take a moment to consider James 2:18: 'But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.' Or, how should we approach James 2:20? 'Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?' And, of course, there is James 2:26: 'For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.' 

There's always two sides to every coin. Clearly righteousness isn't something that's achieved through boasting, and that boasting of itself isn't something to be indulged in by Christians (note what applies with Psalms 34:2). However, ignorance isn't a virtue either, and wilful ignorance should be rebuked, 'lest the fool think himself wise' (my paraphrase of Proverbs 12:15)

In closing, I'm reminded of the very clear teaching found in Proverbs 10:14, 'The wise lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the fool brings ruin near'. I'd much rather be found in the former camp than the latter. You?

Hi Ian, James' letter had a big impact on me, and was not without weight in my decision to leave grc. What I got from it is that works dont save us, but faith does. However faith without works isnt true faith at all. Works are like an outward sign that we have truefaith. In grc we were taught that helping people, especially "unsaved" people was not neccessary, and to some extent not desireable. This is approx 180 degrees from what my Bible says! It even spells out for dummies examples of the sort of actions we should automatically perform to our fellow man if we have true faith. What are your thoughts?

Hi, Rob.

James' letter had a big impact on me, and was not without weight in my decision to leave grc. What I got from it is that works dont save us, but faith does. However faith without works isnt true faith at all. Works are like an outward sign that we have truefaith. In grc we were taught that helping people, especially "unsaved" people was not neccessary, and to some extent not desireable. This is approx 180 degrees from what my Bible says! It even spells out for dummies examples of the sort of actions we should automatically perform to our fellow man if we have true faith. What are your thoughts? I'd agree with you. First my reading of James leads me to the conclusion that 'faith' and 'works' are two sides of the same coin, or 'cause' and 'effect' if you will. Forensically faith in Jesus as God + nothing = salvation, therefore, all the 'works' in the world won't earn anyone a ticket to Glory (salvation comes down to who you know rather than what you do). However, Scripture does imply that there will be degrees of 'rewards' in the age to come, and that these will, in large part, depend on the works performed during this age. Second, and WRT our fellow man, Jesus' example and teaching was crystal clear: one shouldn't limit one's involvement in helping to simply the household of faith. It's relatively easy to love believers; it's a whole lot more faith and sanctification developing to love those who are openly hostile to our beliefs! 

Revivalism arrogantly stands aloof and apart from the cares of the whomsoever. They certainly can't appeal to Jesus for this unbiblical and heartless attitude.

My favourite handbook on Christian orthodoxy as orthopraxy is the anonymous post-apostolic Letter of Mathetes to Diognetus. I'm sure that if you 'Google' the title, you'd be directed to an older translation, online. Tolle, lege!

Blessings,

Ian

Guest,

Clearly you've chosen 'option B'. Cest la vie!

2Ti 3:7  ever learning and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth. 2Ti 3:8  But as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so these also resist the truth, men of corrupt mind, reprobate concerning the faith. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but you've outdone your earlier attempt at Revivalist Scripture-twisting with this latest effort! 

As Mot Mot said you just dont get it. Pray, explain how you think the above verses apply to me. I'll give you a quick hint to think about concerning the importance of context: I ain't a woman, weak or otherwise (verses 6 and 7 in English comprise a single sentence in Greek, so have a look at just who is in view viz the '...ever learning' comment) ;)

To conclude: my reasonable 'boast' is that 2 Timothy 2:15 applies to me. It doesn't to you, or to Tom for that matter. And that's a pity :(

 1Co 1:26  For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men according to the flesh are called, not many mighty, not many noble. 
1Co 1:27  But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 
1Co 1:28  and God has chosen the base things of the world, and things which are despised, and things which are not, in order to bring to nothing things that are; 
1Co 1:29  so that no flesh should glory in His presence. 
1Co 1:30  But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; 
1Co 1:31  so that, according as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord." 

Unfortunately for you ian you glorify your own FLESH.

Hello again, Guest.

Still running with 'Option B', I see.

Unfortunately for you ian you glorify your own FLESH. Do I? Why? Is it because I choose not to be ignorant, preferring instead to love the Lord with my mind as well as my heart, my soul and my strength? And, of course, in 1 Corinthians 1:26ff Paul wrote, 'not many'? The 'm' is important, you see ;)

When all is said and done I suppose I could choose to be wilfully ignorant. But then how would I be any different to your average Revivalist? How would I be any different to you? In such a circumstance I'd be just another blind person running full tilt towards the ditch, fingers in my ears, mind in neutral. But this isn't the course that Christ would have me follow, which is lucky for me and a blessing to many others. 

My friend your profound inability to correctly handle and interpret God's Word doesn't worry me, but it should worry you. Your haste at judging others with your ignorance as the standard doesn't worry me, but it should worry you. Quite simply, you clearly don't even know that you don't know, what you don't know. And sadly, given your attitude thus far, I don't see the situation changing anytime soon.

Good morning, Tom.

Ian is trying to do the right thing but it's only in his own eyes and as he sees fit. Or I am doing the right thing, and it's simply your prejudice/bias that prevents you from accepting the fact? If you dare say anyting against him he will belittle, degrade you, and then call you ..... " GOOSE ". Yes, and 'goose' is such belittling and degrading term, isn't it?  Like -  aallluurrrr  !!!!!  This means he is no better than anyone else. Better? Hardly. Wiser? Clearly. Better informed? Obviously. More capable a conversationalist? Indubitably. 

Advise :    " Don't argue with a fool, you will only lower yourself to their level and be beaten by experiance". Try this one on for size: 'When the intelligent hear a wise saying, they praise it and add to it. Fools hear it with distate and cast it behind their backs.' (Sirach 21:15).

It is because of Ian that not many now want to or are prepared to post here anymore because he will only treat them with contempt by spraying his knowledge and self-imposed authority over you ( just like Noel Hollins). First, clearly you think more highly of Noel's 'knowledge' than I believe the facts warrant. Second, my sole authority is Christian Scripture, 'rightly divided'. Third, I stayed out of your exclusive GRC room for ages, and yet the only noise that came from there was the sound of crickets chirping off in the distance. So, Tom, don't be blaming me for inactivity that resulted from you and your pals being wholly unable to carry a conversation. He is just like Julia Gillard ....  he ' just doesn't get it' !!!!! Excepting for the fact that, unlike the PM, the polls are clearly in my favour :)
  
I may be wrong but I thought that this site was set aside as the GRC Discusion Forum but it's been over run by other  'revialists'. That's ok if one sticks to GRC related topics but it doesn't appear to happen that way. Well, somebody had to try breathing life into the corpse, eh?

Meanwhile to those who are genuine and want a chat, coffee, or help, feel free to contact me or anyone else here or by 'pm' (private message). And I sincerely hope that you'll be inundated with 'Private Messages', big fella ;)

Goose.

Guest,

There you go. I'm actually dumber from reading your latest effort.

Ha ha Ha,I am glad you are still quoting the apocrypher,you are such a spiritual super man. The correct spelling of the plural form is 'apocrypha'. Given that I referred to simply one book from this larger collection, what I quoted was an apocryphon. Next, Sirach stands squarely within the Second Temple Jewish Wisdom tradition. It's considered deuterocanonical by two thirds of the world's Christians; regardless of whether or not one considers it Scripture, however, it was extensively studied and quoted in the post-apostolic Church, and for good reason. Third, I don't know that I'm a 'spiritual superman', although I can see how you reached this conclusion by comparing yourself to me. I'm comfortable simply being a spiritual man, and a Scripture man. Consequently, you should strive like a striving thing to emulate my example (though I won't be holding my breath in anticipation, waiting for this to happen).

Well, somebody had to try breathing life into the corpse, eh? Thats like martyn bryant giving mouth to mouth to the people he killed at Port Arthur. Why? (The questions in my responses to you are strictly rhetorical, of course, as you've conclusively demonstrated that you lack the wherewithal to answer them in a meaningful way. And I might also suggest that halitosis is better than no breath at all). 

In closing, given that you've embraced the lunacy of 'Option B' with gusto, I can only assume that you are: (a) a minor, or (b) an idiot :)

Interesting,Ian who designed the alpha course?
Some of the baptist churhes in Adelaide have joined forces with the southern vineyards church( pentecotal).Vineyards are the whackos who started the Toronto Blessing.
Looks like the revivalists arent the only heretics,hey?
maybe you can send please consider to the c of e and the pope and try and get them  to see the light.

Good morning, Guest.

Still determined to lead with your chin, eh? ;)

Interesting,Ian who designed the alpha course? A chap named Nicky Gumble. Google would have told you that. Some of the baptist churhes in Adelaide have joined forces with the southern vineyards church( pentecotal). So? Unlike Revivalists, Christian denominations generally don't have a problem playing with others. Vineyards are the whackos who started the Toronto Blessing. No, it was John and Carol Arnott of the Toronto Airport Vineyard Church, not the entire denomination, who were responsible for that particular nonsense. And the last time that I checked, the 'blessing' itself was deader-than-a-dodo, or a Revivalist on Judgment Day.

Looks like the revivalists arent the only heretics,hey? Who suggested that they were? 'Heretic' being such a big word, have you looked up what it means in the dictionary yet? ;)

maybe you can send please consider to the c of e and the pope and try and get them  to see the light. You're all over the shop in this post, more than is 'usual' for you. You started off with the Adelaide Baptists and Vineyard groups, for whatever reason, and now you've introduced the Roman Catholics and Anglicans. Is there a common thread to this ecclesiastical meandering of yours, or are you simply trying to demonstrate that you're an equal opportunity hater? 

Given that both the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches are orthodox Christian communions, what would be the point in me 'sending' them 'PleaseConsider'? Besides, I'm sure both Pope Benedict and Dr Rowan Williams have better things to do with their time than read my simple musings ;) Anyway, 'PleaseConsider' was prepared to specifically address your preferred heresy, Revivalism. Perhaps you should be spending more of your time reading the essays that Drew and I have written and placed there, and less time playing on the 'puter here? ;)

Guest,

You really are an idiot, aren't you? ;)

Tut tut tut,where is your respect ian? The man has a title,it is Revevand Nicky Gumble of the church of england,hmmm. Titles don't mean much to those of us who have them, but they seem to mean a GREAT deal to those who don't. I mentioned the baptists and the vineyards church because they promote the alpha course. And? And of course  it would be a bad idea for you to send please consider to the c of e and the rc's because they would tell you how WRONG you are,they have taken the stance of if you cant beat them,join them. Rubbish. There is nothing in any of my exegeses at 'PleaseConsider' that an informed, theologically educated and astute Roman Catholic or Anglican Primate would find objectionable. Of course, both Pope Benedict and Dr Williams are precisely such men. You're just ignorantly speaking through your bottom again :)

Guest,

Watching you dig yourself into an ever deepening hole is proving to be jolly good fun ;)

Ah now we are getting somewhere,the c of e theologians came up with the alpha course,not please consider. Actually, you're still very much on 'a road to nowhere' given that the Church of England's theologians (plural) didn't come up with the 'Alpha Course' at all. Nicky Gumbel, an Anglican (singular), did :)

Further, why you'd ever infer that 'PleaseConsider' had anything to do with 'Alpha' is beyond me.

So would you say that the c of e theologeans are in error. That would be a wee bit silly, wouldn't it? After all, and as I've just pointed out to you, 'Alpha' was the product of Nicky Gumbel and not the Anglican Church's canon theologians :P Furthermore, there's quite a bit of 'good' stuff in the course too, which makes the 'bad' stuff a little more tolerable more and more of your team leave it ;) Really? 'My' team? Who would this be, exactly? I am on no MANS team.:) It's patently obvious why. Given the range of qualities you've been broadcasting about yourself of late, you'd invariably be the very last guy picked, every time :) Also  it is obvious the rc's theologeans have embraced the alpha course. Oh? It's 'obvious', is it? From my reading it seems that some Roman Catholic parish clergy have identified benefit in the 'Alpha Course' for their local parishoners, consequently some of them have chosen to run with it. But I'd really love for you to have a crack at naming all of those Roman Catholic 'theologians' whom you believe have 'embraced' the 'Alpha Course' :)

Goose,

Answer the question ian,bad stuff,so are you inferring that the c of e teach false doctrin? I'll answer the question when I have an idea of how informed you are about what 'Alpha' actually teaches. Second, given that 'Alpha' isn't a product of the C of E, I fail to see how you so quickly managed to wed the two together ('Alpha' and the C of E supposedly teaching false doctrine). Was this simply a 'marriage of convenience' (for you)?

I'm guessing you're just another ignorant South Australian Revivalist try-hard, one who likes to speak large on topics about which he knows little ;)

Correct, aren't I?

The 'Alpha Course' is probably the best known of the commercially available, pre-packaged, follow-the-script, evangelism-in-the-home type courses. It's also very much a product of the 'Holy Trinity Brompton' charismatic approach to things, ergo, I ain't a fanboy ;)

Blessings,

Ian

Guest,

only registered members allowed to vote... a rule made by Ian! what a surprise. Not really. Limiting voting to registered members makes sense as it ensures that people 'cast their lots' only once (i.e. it prevents 'vote rigging'). Of course, such is general and accepted practice for polling the world over, so I'm surprised that you were surprised it would apply here too. I was former registered member who deleted my account because I got fed up with Ian's bullying and rarely bother looking at this site anymore because it's dominated by Ian and his fan club. 'Boo hoo' to you :) Unless you were banned for not abiding by the forum rules, you were perfectly free to express your opinions, to have their merit tested by others here (including me). So I find it a little strange that some people believe their opinions above critique; consequently, they get all self-righteous and whiney when challenged. Personally I reckon such is indicative of misplaced hubris, possibly a carry over of the arrogance of Revivalism.

Anyway, according to the cold facts of mathematics, fully 90% of people polled have expressed their view that I'm not a bully. I guess this overwhelming result in my favour categorically disproves your rather 'hollow' allegation, doesn't it? ;)

Goose.

Some go chasing rainbows in a more "moderate" Pentecostal "church" only to realise down the track that it's either the same manure but a different bucket, or it's a charade and disillusionment sets in once again. Some get all bitter and twisted and they blame God for their lack of discernment in the first instance, and/or are willingly ignorant, in line with the Simon and Garfunkel song "The Boxer", "still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest". The blessed ones by the grace of God, find this site and come across a dogged, importunate schoolmaster, who isn't interested in egos, hurt feelings, personal opinions, misplaced loyalties etc. He's a numbers man. His determination is to pluck as many out of the fire he can (Jude 1:22) and hasn't, nor wants the time to nurture adults that behave like children. John the Baptist didn't pussyfoot, neither did our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He harps and harps and harps on about context, proof texting, twisting scripture to one's own heresy, the actual meanings and the time and place of the scriptures, hoping you'll listen. It takes a sledge hammer to break the hardest nuts. He takes abuse, vilifying, character assassination, misinterpretation and downright lies told about him.

Some go chasing rainbows in a more "moderate" Pentecostal "church" only to realise down the track that it's either the same manure but a different bucket, or it's a charade and disillusionment sets in once again. Some get all bitter and twisted and they blame God for their lack of discernment in the first instance, and/or are willingly ignorant, in line with the Simon and Garfunkel song "The Boxer", "still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest". The blessed ones by the grace of God, find this site and come across a dogged, importunate schoolmaster, who isn't interested in egos, hurt feelings, personal opinions, misplaced loyalties etc. He's a numbers man. His determination is to pluck as many out of the fire he can (Jude 1:22) and hasn't, nor wants the time to nurture adults that behave like children. John the Baptist didn't pussyfoot, neither did our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He harps and harps and harps on about context, proof texting, twisting scripture to one's own heresy, the actual meanings and the time and place of the scriptures, hoping you'll listen. It takes a sledge hammer to break the hardest nuts. He takes abuse, vilifying, character assassination, misinterpretation and downright lies told about him. But if one day the penny drops, you see the light, you stop arguing and listen et al and tell him you were wrong, he instantly forgives. How do I know? Because such was I.

It even spells out for dummies examples of the sort of actions we should automatically perform to our fellow man if we have true faith. What are your thoughts? I'd agree with you. First my reading of James leads me to the conclusion that 'faith' and 'works' are two sides of the same coin, or 'cause' and 'effect' if you will. Forensically faith in Jesus as God + nothing = salvation, therefore, all the 'works' in the world won't earn anyone a ticket to Glory (salvation comes down to who you know rather than what you do). However, Scripture does imply that there will be degrees of 'rewards' in the age to come, and that these will, in large part, depend on the works performed during this age. Second, and WRT our fellow man, Jesus' example and teaching was crystal clear: one shouldn't limit one's involvement in helping to simply the household of faith. It's relatively easy to love believers; it's a whole lot more faith and sanctification developing to love those who are openly hostile to our beliefs! Revivalism arrogantly stands aloof and apart from the cares of the whomsoever. They certainly can't appeal to Jesus for this unbiblical and heartless attitude. My favourite handbook on Christian orthodoxy as orthopraxy is the anonymous post-apostolic Letter of Mathetes to Diognetus. I'm sure that if you 'Google' the title, you'd be directed to an older translation, online. Tolle, lege! Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

Try this one on for size: 'When the intelligent hear a wise saying, they praise it and add to it. Fools hear it with distate and cast it behind their backs.' (Sirach 21:15). It is because of Ian that not many now want to or are prepared to post here anymore because he will only treat them with contempt by spraying his knowledge and self-imposed authority over you ( just like Noel Hollins). First, clearly you think more highly of Noel's 'knowledge' than I believe the facts warrant. Second, my sole authority is Christian Scripture, 'rightly divided'. Third, I stayed out of your exclusive GRC room for ages, and yet the only noise that came from there was the sound of crickets chirping off in the distance. So, Tom, don't be blaming me for inactivity that resulted from you and your pals being wholly unable to carry a conversation. He is just like Julia Gillard .... he ' just doesn't get it' !!!!!

I'm actually dumber from reading your latest effort. Ha ha Ha,I am glad you are still quoting the apocrypher,you are such a spiritual super man. The correct spelling of the plural form is 'apocrypha'. Given that I referred to simply one book from this larger collection, what I quoted was an apocryphon. Next, Sirach stands squarely within the Second Temple Jewish Wisdom tradition. It's considered deuterocanonical by two thirds of the world's Christians; regardless of whether or not one considers it Scripture, however, it was extensively studied and quoted in the post-apostolic Church, and for good reason. Third, I don't know that I'm a 'spiritual superman', although I can see how you reached this conclusion by comparing yourself to me. I'm comfortable simply being a spiritual man, and a Scripture man. Consequently, you should strive like a striving thing to emulate my example (though I won't be holding my breath in anticipation, waiting for this to happen). Well, somebody had to try breathing life into the corpse, eh? Thats like martyn bryant giving mouth to mouth to the people he killed at Port Arthur. Why? (The questions in my responses to you are strictly rhetorical, of course, as you've conclusively demonstrated that you lack the wherewithal to answer them in a meaningful way. And I might also suggest that halitosis is better than no breath at all).

Besides, I'm sure both Pope Benedict and Dr Rowan Williams have better things to do with their time than read my simple musings ;) Anyway, 'PleaseConsider' was prepared to specifically address your preferred heresy, Revivalism.

And of course it would be a bad idea for you to send please consider to the c of e and the rc's because they would tell you how WRONG you are,they have taken the stance of if you cant beat them,join them. Rubbish. There is nothing in any of my exegeses at 'PleaseConsider' that an informed, theologically educated and astute Roman Catholic or Anglican Primate would find objectionable. Of course, both Pope Benedict and Dr Williams are precisely such men. You're just ignorantly speaking through your bottom again :) Unfortunately for you ian you have been pissing in the wind for years. You are just one of the many,why dont take your bat and ball and go home? Because each and every time that I run onto the paddock, more and more of your team leave it ;) Twit.

So would you say that the c of e theologeans are in error. more and more of your team leave it ;),I am on no MANS team.:) Also it is obvious the rc's theologeans have embraced the alpha course.

Date Posted：11/09/2011 7:31 AMCopy HTML Guest, Watching you dig yourself into an ever deepening hole is proving to be jolly good fun ;) Ah now we are getting somewhere,the c of e theologians came up with the alpha course,not please consider. Actually, you're still very much on 'a road to nowhere' given that the Church of England's theologians (plural) didn't come up with the 'Alpha Course' at all. Nicky Gumbel, an Anglican (singular), did :) Further, why you'd ever infer that 'PleaseConsider' had anything to do with 'Alpha' is beyond me. So would you say that the c of e theologeans are in error. That would be a wee bit silly, wouldn't it? After all, and as I've just pointed out to you, 'Alpha' was the product of Nicky Gumbel and not the Anglican Church's canon theologians :P Furthermore, there's quite a bit of 'good' stuff in the course too, which makes the 'bad' stuff a little more tolerable more and more of your team leave it ;) Really? 'My' team? Who would this be, exactly? I am on no MANS team.:) It's patently obvious why. Given the range of qualities you've been broadcasting about yourself of late, you'd invariably be the very last guy picked, every time :) Also it is obvious the rc's theologeans have embraced the alpha course. Oh? It's 'obvious', is it? From my reading it seems that some Roman Catholic parish clergy have identified benefit in the 'Alpha Course' for their local parishoners, consequently some of them have chosen to run with it. But I'd really love for you to have a crack at naming all of those Roman Catholic 'theologians' whom you believe have 'embraced' the 'Alpha Course' :) Twit. Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

I'll answer the question when I have an idea of how informed you are about what 'Alpha' actually teaches. Second, given that 'Alpha' isn't a product of the C of E, I fail to see how you so quickly managed to wed the two together ('Alpha' and the C of E supposedly teaching false doctrine). Was this simply a 'marriage of convenience' (for you)? I'm guessing you're just another ignorant South Australian Revivalist try-hard, one who likes to speak large on topics about which he knows little ;) Correct, aren't I?

Ian, you are welcome to call me a double "goose" on this one because I have not got the foggiest idea what "Alpha" is except its the first letter of the Greek alphabet (chuckle). Then in this respect, you know exactly as much about it as does our foolish Revivalist know-it-not-at-all ;) The 'Alpha Course' is probably the best known of the commercially available, pre-packaged, follow-the-script, evangelism-in-the-home type courses. It's also very much a product of the 'Holy Trinity Brompton' charismatic approach to things, ergo, I ain't a fanboy ;) Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

Date Posted：18/09/2011 11:06 PMCopy HTML Guest, only registered members allowed to vote... a rule made by Ian! what a surprise. Not really. Limiting voting to registered members makes sense as it ensures that people 'cast their lots' only once (i.e. it prevents 'vote rigging'). Of course, such is general and accepted practice for polling the world over, so I'm surprised that you were surprised it would apply here too. I was former registered member who deleted my account because I got fed up with Ian's bullying and rarely bother looking at this site anymore because it's dominated by Ian and his fan club. 'Boo hoo' to you :) Unless you were banned for not abiding by the forum rules, you were perfectly free to express your opinions, to have their merit tested by others here (including me). So I find it a little strange that some people believe their opinions above critique; consequently, they get all self-righteous and whiney when challenged. Personally I reckon such is indicative of misplaced hubris, possibly a carry over of the arrogance of Revivalism. Anyway, according to the cold facts of mathematics, fully 90% of people polled have expressed their view that I'm not a bully. I guess this overwhelming result in my favour categorically disproves your rather 'hollow' allegation, doesn't it? ;) Goose. Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com
