[i:108681e3d9]Dave haters[/i:108681e3d9] that is what they call us. Dave who teaches members to be open to criticism and correction is trying to dead bat the valid criticisms raised here Dave should clarify Either the [i:108681e3d9]Lord corrects those he loves[/i:108681e3d9] OR [i:108681e3d9]Anyone who corrects Dave is a Dave hater
[/i:108681e3d9] You can not have it both ways. If the first premise holds true, then by preaching the second, Dave could infer that the Lord is a [i:108681e3d9]Dave hater[/i:108681e3d9] According to Dave, God can use many different ways to correct us, remember? Even use a RR website. We are not Dave haters but we do hate many of the things he does which damage peoples lives.
Right on! I pity Dave for needing to do what he does. I pity him for the reward he will get for what he does.
Same as the pity I feel for a pedophile on his way to jail.
I try to visualise his new life, after he repents and dissolves his cult, and makes amends with his victims.
It's hard to imagine, and will be very hard for Dave to deconstruct himself, but ...
... unto him that is [b:108681e3d9]able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think[/b:108681e3d9], according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. [Eph3:20-21]
