Let's deal with facts, not the speculations...
The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him. (Pv 18:17)
Don't be so quick to accept one's account as the whole story, or even the truth... more than likely there's more to it...

This explains a whole bunch...
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' (Jn 15:18-20)
Ever wonder why some people will not let go of their anger and truly hate you? ...why the only thing that will bring any sort of appeasement to them is your demise? ...why they are consumed with being an adversary in your life, all the while becoming more and more bitter and engraged?
The Lord already knew it would happen. Better yet, He told us why...

Just musin'...
If people were even half as smart as they thought they were,
we'd be living in a world filled with geniuses...
If the opinion of the people directs the policies of this nation,
is it any wonder that the world has a low opinion of it?
If it's true that followers of Christ consider forgiveness paramount,
why do so many harbor a grudge?
If it's true that followers of Christ believe there is "one Church,"
why do so many believe that their's is it?
If it's true that followers of Christ believe He is the King Eternal,
why do so many treat Him as a servant for their immediate?

About me...
Hello,
My name is Greg Huth.
I am married to Kelli, father of two young men -- one of which is married -- and reside in Elk Grove, a suburb of Sacramento, California.
I am a Sound and Audio Visual Systems Engineer for Quality Sound of Stockton, California.
I currently attend Radiant Life Church, pastored by Tony Cunningham.
My overriding belief is this: There is one God whose love was demonstrated at the cross by His one and only Son, paying the price of my sin that I may be freed from the bondage of sin and death, and to be declared His son.

Grieving and Hurting...
I find it amazing, shocking, fascinating, horrifying, crazy, bizarre, weird... (you get the point) that sooooo much of what is written in public internet forums is off topic and angry. I completely get that people are frustrated and angry about matters such as the economy, relationships and the like... I really do get that. However, what I'm seeing is disproportionate and, frankly, crazy.
OH THERE YOU GO GREG JUSTIFYING YOUR SELF-RIGHTEOUS INTENTIONS.
For example, I recently read in a forum someone's concern about the swine flu and how, in their opinion, our government has failed to act responsibly. Ok... I didn't necessarily agree with every point made, but ok... Someone then responded to the original post starting with "you're an idiot!," then continued to berate the original poster about how clueless they are. Of course, it doesn't stop there... The original poster fires back with their own rhetorical slam, and, well, you guessed it... The forum thread is no longer about the swine flu, but rather about how big an idiot and ill informed the other is.
Here's the scary thing: this is not uncommon. You will find it in almost every public internet forum.
Another scary thing: It's not limited to internet forums.
I have myself experienced people who are not as interested in discussion as they are berating telling me how I should think and perceive things. Some even use the softer approach by using leading questions: Rather than asking how or why something came about -- if for no other purpose than to get my perspective -- the questions run something like, "Why were you thinking this?," or "Why did you do that?" In their mind I'm guilty of whatever "crime" and "thoughts" that they've deduced and projected in their heads, and many times they have the "indisputable evidence."

I guess this is all to ask this: What happened to simple dialogue without the accusation? What happened to basic respect and courtesy towards another human being? What happened to innocent until proven guilty? What happened to loving one's neighbor as one's self? What happened to agreeing to disagree?
I find myself grieving and hurting often as of late... grieving and hurting for people who write others off as if they held no value at all.
Selah...
Oh yes... In no way do I excuse myself from the same behavior and tendencies. I'm quite certain that every human being not only has the capacity, but defaults to the judging of others. However, we seem to have lost the ability to quench those thoughts and feelings.

Oh come on Greg, you better know my identity by now, especially based upon the details I have reveled here. Unless you have wronged so many more people around you that you can not remember just how many people you have Spiritually Abused. How much more condescending, pompous and arrogant can you be?Quote

Of Fowl and Hornets
It appears that my posts have ruffled some feathers; even now the nest is buzzin'.
I find it remarkable how people will react to something I expressed, with their judgment and spin, when they have no concept of what is really stirring in my heart and mind, let alone their own.
I have received a few comments from what I think are two sources. "Think," you ask? Yes, "think." The authors of the comments have remained anonymous. Interesting, being that I have posted my thoughts, right or wrong, with my name in large lettering at the top of the page. In other words, my statements are not hidden behind a veil of anonymity.
Oh, Changing the rules Greg? Or are you making up rules as you go? OK Lets talk about responsibility, this whole letter is all about you making excuses for NOT taking responsibility for the evil you have participated in...being an Elder at Radiant Life Cult & promoting Tony Cunningham's false teachings etc.Quote
Greg Huth cont...
This is one of the disturbing trends on the Internet: people say pretty much what they want -- be it truth, lie, speculation or threat -- without the need to take responsibility for it. It is a sign of the times; people have forgotten how to be responsible.
For my part I will not publish any comment made about my posts unless the commentator reveals his or her identity -- first and last name.
Greg you are the one afraid of real dialogue! Your hiding behind the little bit of control with your little blog site. Why are you acting like such a coward?Quote
Greg Huth cont...
Also, I'm not likely to post someone's comment if it is filled with judgment, claims of inuendo or hearsay as fact, nor plain rudeness.
What happened to dialogue and questions? Statements are being made without any clue as to my true thoughts, intentions, actions or words.
That's just one example taken out of context. Greg you are making a vital mistake here Jesus (God incarnate was the one on the cross sacrificing himself for us) show the readers where followers of Jesus Christ are commanded to not defend themselves, to not seek restitution or reconciliation? Are not followers of Jesus Christ encouraged to be peace makers? How can you make peace with somebody who has wronged you or you have transgressed against if you don't deal with the actual SIN? Are you expecting people who are no longer in your camp to sweep all the many examples of Spiritual Abuse under the carpet? Sorry Greg It does not work like that, you can not sweep things under the carpet with people and you surly can not sweep you sins under the carpet with God. That is where Jesus will say to many "depart from me, for I never knew you."Quote
Greg Huth cont...
Here's an example... One -- at least I think one -- of the commentators has lectured me a few times about how I shouldn't expect forgiveness from people if I'm not repentant.
First, there is no doubt: repentance is vital; that I totally agree with. It's what Jesus preached.
Second, I can't agree that forgiveness isn't issued without repentance. There are several Scriptural examples of forgiveness without an initial demonstration of repentance. (One being Jesus on the cross saying, "Father, forgive them...")
Greg you theology is flawed and your defiling the reputation and character of God by taking this flippant point of view that some how you can keep on passing on the false teachings of Tony Cunningham with out taking responsibility for your involvement. That would be like a man standing before a judge for wreck-less endangerment, speeding and causing a wreck and for that man to say well cant these people just forgive me I will for give them for being in my way.Quote
Greg Huth cont...
Third, Jesus plainly stated that one's sins are not forgiven unless they forgive others. He didn't mention anything about the offender must first be repentant.
Quote
Greg Huth cont...
Fourth -- and here's the rub -- who's to say I haven't repented of things I've recognized as wrongdoing??
OK GREG YOU ARE MAKING A VERY GENERALIZED STATEMENT HERE, BACK IT UP WITH CASE AND POINT! DON"T YOU LIKE DIALOGUE? GIVE US EXAMPLES OF THE NAME CALLING OR MEAN-SPIRITED! YOU ARE THE ONE RESORTING TO NAME CALLING OR BEING OR MEAN-SPIRITED!Quote
Greg Huth cont...
Regarding rudeness, mean-spiritedness and name-calling: If someone wants me to respond to them, let alone even acknowledge their comment, then civilized and mature dialogue is needed. I simply won't post anything that resembles what can be heard on grammar school playgrounds or in middle school hallways.
Well if there wasn’t much of a STING to what I posted then WHY did you stay up to nearly 1AM Friday morning to post your self loathing rebuttal never addressing any of the points I asked you about?Quote
Greg Huth cont...
Three last points...
First: I am confident the comments made are somewhat designed to get a rise out of me. They don't. There is only One who's opinion matters. The other opinions expressed are by those that are like hornets without stingers.
Quote
Greg Huth cont...
Second: I really don't understand the philosophy that it's fine to post personal commentary with anonymity. If commentators are wanting to express their angst without being bold enough to reveal their identity, then the feathers ruffled are those of farm fowl.
Hmm late night Greg? hard time going to sleep? It must be all that self loathing internal peace you have been boasting about........Wait a minute...were you worried about your reputation?Quote
Greg Huth cont......
Last point: I love the people that are vehemently opposed to me. I'm not angry; I'm not brooding... I really want good for them. My prayer for them will continue to be that the Great God of heavan and earth will bring peace to their souls, and that He will show them His kindness.
Ok, one more point: Frankly, it's not about me anyway. It's all about the Living God. Whatever harm I may have caused people can be easily overridden if they would draw near to Him and be healed. I simply do not have power over that, but they do.
Peace.
