PDBROYLES@OWUCOMCN (The Golden Rule: He who has all the Gold makes the rules.) (02/09/90)
Most of the messages I have read so far have been mildly surprising. I was expecting some people on this list to flame me royally, I was expecting people to violently tell me that I was going to hell (some people have alluded to that, but in a kind manner.) I have to say, that for the most part, I have been impressed with the responses made on this list. There is, however, one response which epitimizes the type of Christian that I have publically criticized: >From: BITNET%"D2MG@SDSUMUS" "Kurt Evans" 8-FEB-1990 22:47 >To: 'paul broyles' <PDBROYLES@OWUCOMCN.BITNET> >Subj: KE: Wolves > Just for the record, I decided I didn't think Paul Broyles was a >Christian about two weeks ago. I think several of his prayer requests >have been fictitious. Finally, I don't believe his testimony that he >was a fundamentalist a few years ago. > For Jesus' glory, > Kurt First off, Mr I'm-a-christian-I'ma-judge, I don't care what you think about my personal beliefs or convictions. It doesn't matter if you think I am going to heaven or to hell, that's between me and God. Secondly, Mr Holier-than-thou, I do not fabricate prayer request. We may not see eye to eye on many things, but I take it as a personal insult when you say that the prayer request that I have made over the past month are fabricated! I've sent them to this list because I do believe in the power of prayer and while I may not agree with you in particular, I KNOW there are people on this list, both Christian and Non-Christian, who do know God and whose prayers do matter. Kurt, do me a favor, don't read any of my future prayer request, they are intended for people who do care. They are intended for people filled with Love, not people who are filled with hatred and scepticism. Thirdly, Mr I-know-everything, you don't know everything. In fact, your attitude is so full of hatred and self righteousness that it turns me ill! I was extremely conservative a mere year and a half ago, but do you want to know the single biggest reason why I am not now? Well, it's because of closed minded &%$^#@ like you. Finally, I apologize for the harsh words on this thing, but I just wanted to let the rest of thils list know why I will no longer respond to Kurt. While I disagree with a lot of what MAKS and Eric say, I can respect them and their opinions, but Kurt on the other hand.... paul

If it was important to you to tell us why you will not respond to someone elses msgs, simply tell us that you have decided not to respond to his/her msgs for personal reasons. Remember, christian or not, we are all in this world together. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God. ** Gary Samek **** C009GARY@UTARLVM1 * * ****
