I need prayer today. Our son had his son dedicated on Father’s Day. We were not invited. Our former church treats us like non-believers without any cause. The pastor and associate pastor allowed this without thinking about the ramifications, leading to my wife and daughters being very hurt. These people used to be my friends. Anger keeps welling up inside me, and I have to keep praying so that I don’t just explode. Please keep me in prayer.

More Eisegesis

More bad scriptural context from "Pastor" Michael on PP. The passage is found in Heb 13 (v 13 in particular).

Michael uses the "outside the camp" passage in Scripture as if it is describing stepping outside the church. However, the context of the passage is about the relationship of Jesus to Israel. He was crucified outside the city gates of Jerusalem, and the early church needed to understand that faith in Jesus would set them at odds with Jerusalem. They would be (as Jesus had promised) persecuted from the Jews and find themselves outside of what they had long trusted (such as the promises to Abraham, etc).

Rather than the passage being about going outside the church, it stresses our responsibility to our new authorities, the leaders in the church. Odd that Michael, who claims to be a pastor, would have an interpretation of this passage so at odds with what the context of the passage represents. It's not a passage about doing your own thing (as Michael has done with his "own" church). It's a passage about being subject to the church.

I called it again! Swan Song #5

I called it. Michael Newnham's swan song is again over. The attention junkie has returned as predicted! LOL. This guy is a joke.

President of Genesis Counselling former Frisbee convert

Another interesting story about the president of Genesis Counseling (an homosexual reprogramming group) who has a background with Lonnie Frisbee. I've not see this in the catalogs of "fruits" of Frisbee's life/ministry. Frisbee is all but written out of the CC official histories.

Calvary Pastor blames site hacking on the devil

Interesting news story on a Calvary Chapel pastor blaming hacking of his website on the devil.

I guess if you identify your work with God and someone attacks it, that person must be the devil. LOL. I just have to smile.

Judge Not???

Mary Danielson of Calvary Chapel in Appleton, Wis. is quoted in The Christian Post (today), as saying about Jim Wallis of Sojourners Magazine:

Wallis claims to be an evangelical pastor, but is merely using Scripture to "justify his radicalism."

"He does not hold to the central tenets of biblical Christianity but he reads a brand of social justice into the Bible," Danielson said on Crosstalk radio.

Now, I am OK with the charge that "social justice" as understood by Wallis and such is not Biblical. I have serious problems with the social and justice in so-called social justice. The result is neither social (Biblical social policy) nor justice (in the sense of treating everyone without preference for one group over another).

I've got a problem with the first part of the charge, IE, that Wallis is just claiming to be an evangelical pastor (and really isn't). This is not the sort of charge that a person from Calvary Chapel should be making. What is her standing to judge the faith of Wallis?
