I set the standard of proof against a bro--especially a bro who has done so much in behalf of The Kingdom--rather high.

And when it seems largely to come from sour grapes because of differences over doctrine which The Bible has some ambiguity over . . . that doesn't cut it; for me.

On the other hand, I have a fiercely strong bias in behalf of leaders listening to the lowest person in their ranks. Whenever they are not willing to do that, their pride is in the way and that's a route to all manner of evil.

Moses listened to anyone as long as he could. Shoot--God was ready to meet with anyone at the tent of meeting but the people were afraid.

As to RW, I still mostly leave him to God. I'm not willing to throw rocks over doctrinal differences The Bible is not precise over nor over gossip.

The Bible isn't ambiguous over salvation. That's my main beef with Warren. His avoidance of the things about God which offend the 'natural man.' Natural man *should* be offended. It's what brings about real repentance eventually. Otherwise it's just 'feel good' belonging to a social club.

I am glad for that in you. That's a good quality.
