Vendetta Ride, you really hit the nail on the head. I really appreciate your posts.

Btw, this isn't anything personal against Steve Anderson. He's a really smart guy (he knows 4 or 5 languages, and has much of the Bible memorized), and he has a lot of potential. Maybe that's part of the problem though, his intelligence is making him extremely critical of everyone else.
No I understand just fine why you said you think what he believes is 'wacked'. Anywho, I don't want to get into an argument. I truly love brother Steve Anderson. I love that he doesn't avoid preaching about things that others might for fear of offending people (like men looking like men being men and women like women, TV, his stance against LS etc). I want to be like this in my preaching. I also want desperately to start knocking on doors for Christ. Brother Anderson stresses this more than anything (this is how he built his church), and I am right there with him. Winning souls IS #1! and I kills me that I have NEVER been to a church that goes soulwinning or does street preaching (and yes I looke everywhere for one). So when I hear people attack him for being a Hylesite or for being to young etc I believe there is usually an ulterior reason for their attack. Maybe Steve isn't a "hero" but I do believe he is doing a fine job of seeking and obeying the will of God, and that is heroic in my book.

Peace and Love,
Stephen
