    We are a family whom has been with Shepherds Chapel for 17 years.  We are blessed beyond your complete belief!  God is obviously happy with how we learn his word.  My daughter is 16 and has been reading your lashings and slanders on-line and is soooo upset.  Don't worry she is young and has much to learn about the ignorance of those that lash at others.  You are entitled to any belief you wish, that is the American way.  On the other hand to lash out at others is such a waste of time.  Gods time.  You will not be blessed for what you are doing, not today or any other day. The one thing you should know about us, is that we have one thought at the beginning of each lesson and that is not to lash at other beliefs, leave the judging to our Father.  We do not get on-line and slander you and never will.  You may think you are doing Gods work by slandering us but I assure you it is not.  You know it is a waste of my time to say anything to you at all, I probably shouldn't, but, you hurt the ones I love and I just have to say, you should spend your time teaching Gods word instead of bashing the teachings of others.  Let Gods word speak for itself.  Do you think He can't get his point across without your help?  Wow.  How important you are!  I hope you enjoy your importance now, because you won't be enjoying it long.  Even you, with your thoughts and beliefs should know better.  God doesn't need you.  He is perfectly capable of taking care of things all by Himself.  You should also know you have hurt an entire family of God.  I wouldn't be standing in a lightning storm if I was you!  May you live and learn..........or not.  Amen.

Hello, and thanks for writing,
 
To whomever writes the ignorant things on this site............
 
Unfortunately, I cannot disclose the names of the people who write the ignorant things on my website, because the only ignorant commentary on my site comes from the emails I receive from students of the Shepherd's Chapel, and I have promised to keep the names and email addresses of the people who contact me strictly confidential.
 
As for me, My name is Paul Stringini, and if you would like a piece of me then just come a little closer, I don't write ignorant things, I'm very knowledgeable, and anyone who takes the time to check me out quickly realizes that fact.  You may not agree with me, but the ignorance is coming from you, not from me.
 
When I began telling my point of view, I asked that anyone who detects a factual error in any of my writing, in regard to the teachings of Arnold Murray, would notify me and that I would correct the error.  I began studying with Dr. Murray in 1993 and stopped in 1996 so my memory might be rusty on a few things.  But since only one correction has come to my attention over the past four years I have been doing this, (and I fixed that), I feel safe in saying my portrayal of Dr. Murray's doctrine is accurate, not ignorant.  Many people who have actually read my writings have testified to this fact, and the only people who say otherwise are themselves ignorant, either of what I actually say, or of what Pastor Murray actually teaches. 
 
We are a family whom has been with Shepherds Chapel for 17 years. 
 
In that case it is safe to say that your ignorance springs from not bothering to read my writings.
 
We are blessed beyond your complete belief! 
 
No, you are not.  If you were blessed, you would have realized that you were following a false teacher.  Just because you think you have blessings does not mean that you are really being blessed.  I really don't care what earthly good you have, in my eyes you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.
 
Psalm 73
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
 
God is obviously happy with how we learn his word. 
 
Really, I don't speak for God, maybe God is happy to see you deceived.  But if things are so right with you in God then why did you write this?
 
My daughter is 16 and has been reading your lashings and slanders on-line and is soooo upset. 
 
Why all the upset? It is because the things I say are powerful and true.  And what do you have to say?  Lies and threats.  Pathetic.
 
Don't worry she is young and has much to learn about the ignorance of those that lash at others. 
 
You follow the doctrines of a man who teaches it is wrong to mark false teachers, that is against the doctrine of the Apostles. 
 
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
I'm MARKING Dr Murray, this is according to the bible, now you have a doctrine you learned from Pastor Murray that teaches it is wrong to name false teachers, but that is a lie.  Pastor Murray has placed his own ideas above the ideas taught in the bible (that is his Method of Operation).
 
2 Timothy 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already (Pastor Murray also teaches this Heresy); and overthrow the faith of some.
 
We are supposed to MARK false teachers, and NAMING them is the most effective way to do it.
 
Honestly, you are a coward who cannot defend the doctrines he believes in so you hide behind these COWARDLY false doctrines that teach that it is "wrong" to verbally attack someone who is CORRUPTING the word of God.  It is IRRESPONSIBLE and COWARDLY to stand by silently as the wicked have their way with people. PERIOD.   What do you think the sword of the spirit is for?  You people are ridiculous and you are ignorant of the bible. Instead you follow the traditions of MEN, the traditions of Arnold Murray.  The bible says "mark them" but the elder Murray says "do not"  and what do you do?  You have already done it.  Repent.
 
You are entitled to any belief you wish, that is the American way. 
 
Well, thanks, that is very generous of you.
 
On the other hand to lash out at others is such a waste of time.  Gods time. 
 
No it isn't,  people thank me all the time for the work I do.  They tell me, "Keep up the good work" they say "You saved me from making a big mistake"  I help people turn away from a false teacher, so it is not a waste of time, it is a great success.
 
You will not be blessed for what you are doing, not today or any other day.
 
Nope, you are wrong, I'm blessed all the time for it.  People listen to me, and people turn away from the Shepherd's Chapel, and that is the answer to my prayers.  My works are blessed.  Just read the emails.  I am the savor of life and the savor of death, that is a great blessing.
 
2Corinthians 2 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
 
The one thing you should know about us, is that we have one thought at the beginning of each lesson and that is not to lash at other beliefs, leave the judging to our Father. 
 
What a stupid way to study, really, that is just plain stupid, I don't even believe that you actually start every study with the singular thought "and let us not lash at opposing beliefs."  that sounds like Politically Correct garbage.  I don't believe in the rapture, but Dr. Murray does not have any problem lashing out at that belief, so don't give me this nonsense about "not lashing out,"

You are not only wrong about "lashing out", but you are also a hypocrite, you are certainly lashing out at me for believing in marking false teachers (a biblical belief)  not only that, you actually suggest that I deserve to die for my beliefs.  And I don't mind dying for my beliefs, but you are a hypocrite.
 
leave the judging to our Father. 
 
Beware of false prophets, I do not judge men, I have not judged Pastor Murray.  Pastor Murray has been judged by God's word.  All that I do is listen to God's judgment, and that which I hear, I speak.  You do not hear God's judgment because you are listening to a man.
 
We do not get on-line and slander you and never will. 
 
Then what do you call this email? Did I mention that you are blind?
 
 You may think you are doing Gods work by slandering us but I assure you it is not. 
 
I have never slandered Pastor Murray (much less you).  Do you even know what slander is?  Slander would be this:  If I went around saying Dr. Murray teaches that homosexuality is ok.  That would be slander because it is not true.  But it is not slander to say "Dr. Murray teaches that the dead have already ascended into heaven. And that is wrong"  That is not slander, it is a difference of opinion, one of us may be an heretic, but it is not slander.
 
I do not Slander Pastor Murray and I challenge you to find one slanderous remark. 

It is slanderous of you to say that I have slandered Pastor Murray, because it is not true.  You just don't like it that I do such a good job showing people how he is wrong in the bible.
 
You know it is a waste of my time to say anything to you at all, I probably shouldn't, but, you hurt the ones I love and I just have to say, you should spend your time teaching Gods word instead of bashing the teachings of others.
 
Seriously, what are you? Some sort of sissy? Your mamby-pamby, wishy-washy defense of your beliefs is pathetic and sickening.  Get a backbone buddy.  Instead of coming here and crying like a baby and threatening me with lightning bolts from heaven, why not stand up and contend for your faith?

If you have been a student of the Shepherd's Chapel for 17 years, then you must be an amazing scholar by now, right?   But all you are showing me right now is what an over-sensitive, cry-baby, hypocrite you are. 
 
you should spend your time teaching Gods word instead of bashing the teachings of others.
 
Yeah, well, I do teach the bible, chapter by chapter, but I think you are too lazy to go check me out.  What is it you are up to exactly?  Oh, that's right, you are bashing me.
 
 Let Gods word speak for itself. 
 
That is ironic. Pastor Murray is the guy who is always interrupting the word to insert his crazy ideas about angels and Satanic sex.
 
Do you think He can't get his point across without your help? 
 
Of course he can,  but apparently he likes to use men like me to do it. 

Do you think God can get his point across without Arnold Murray's help?  I'll tell you this, without Arnold's help (or the help of others like him) people wouldn't know about the serpent having sex with Eve or the other imaginative doctrines Murray comes up with.
 
Wow.  How important you are! 
 
And how presumptuous you are. You have a point of view based on the wisdom of man, but what I do is right, what you suggest is LAZY.
 
Jude 1:3
 it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
 
Just bury your head in the sand a little deeper, and don't forget to bury your talents nearby for safe keeping.
 
 I hope you enjoy your importance now, because you won't be enjoying it long. 
 
I'm flattered, but you are being ridiculous, I guess I must have really shaken you people up. 

GOOD


And seriously, what is the point of your threat, if God doesn't like lashing out at people's beliefs, do you think God likes you doing that to me?  If so, then your God is messed up, That is why I don't sweat your God, because your God is a fake, my God is the real God.  Your God is a reflection of you, messed up and ridiculous.  Who could fear such a fake God?
 
Even you, with your thoughts and beliefs should know better.  God doesn't need you. 
 
God doesn't need anyone, but God uses me.  And I'm thankful for that.
 
He is perfectly capable of taking care of things all by Himself. 
 
Wow. What a revelation.  But I think it is nice that he lets us have a part in his kingdom, don't you?
 
You should also know you have hurt an entire family of God. 
 
More like an entire nursery of crybabies.  But maybe it is just you.  If you follow Arnold Murray then you are not a family of God, you are the synagogue of SATAN, who say they are Jews but are not.
 
I wouldn't be standing in a lightning storm if I was you! 
 
I wouldn't be tempting God in any case.  But thanks for your kindly advice, how very Christian of you, you don't lash out at people, you merely make thinly veiled threats of divine retribution, that is soooo righteous. 
 
And all to keep Arnold Murray from having anyone stand against him.  You don't have much confidence in your beliefs do you?  They are pretty easy to knock down.  No wonder you have a doctrine forbidding lashing out at other people's beliefs... you can't afford to contend for your faith,  you will lose.
 
May you live and learn..........or not.  Amen.
 
So just to summarize your point of view:
 
criticizing someone's teaching - unacceptable
 
Wishing someone dead - perfectly correct
 
You are in thick darkness buddy, thick darkness, you have are heading down the way of Cain.  Don't mistake it, your death-wish for me is a clear mark of who your father is.
 
1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Repent.
 
Sincerely,
Paul Stringini
