people who are in prison ?

Hi, Name Withheld, Thank you for taking the
time to write me, I took your questions seriously, and I expect
you to take my reply seriously.
Just had to right you ,,,no pun
intended
To make me right? The best way to get me righted is to get your own
crooked perspective straightened out. Then you will see I am
already in the right.
You sound even worse than Arnold when you say "why listen
to Arnold when you can listen to me"
Two points, first, that is the opposite of the way Arnold is, he
uses reverse psychology "don't listen to this man...." etc. a
confidence tactic which inspires trust in the weak-minded.
Second Point, you not only misquoted me, but you missed the spirit
of what was said
"Why read all
this wrangling over Dr. Murray's errors when you can listen to
my free, book by book, chapter by chapter, line by line, audio
Bible study and hear the truth!"
That is what I said. The point was that
reading all this debate and strife (which is mostly my own
writing) is not as good as just listening to a good bible study. I
was saying "Why read this when you can listen to that." And it was
said in a fairly obvious lighthearted manner. I understand you
though, you are grasping for things to accuse me of.
Let me share
something with you. There is no point in attacking me for things
that I am not actually doing or guilty of (this is called the staw-man
tactic) . You may make me angry because I hate being
mischaracterized, but when I patiently reply to your unreasonable
and silly accusation, you will bear the smell of defeat. Staw-men
are easy to knock down, but when the real guy shows everyone you
have been fighting a dummy, you will then yourself be exposed to
ridicule.
Who are you I might ask,,,Just
another delusional man who thinks he
has heard from GOD...Y0O were appointed as our Earthly Advocate?
How would you know the difference, have you listened to my bible
studies? We have all heard from God.
Romans 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound
went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world
I hear from God every day, he speaks to me from the scriptures. He
speaks to me from them when I write, I've spent a lot of time
listening to him. The difference between Arnold Murray and me is
that I listen carefully to what God is saying. Arnold Murray
teaches the bible what to say, but the bible teaches me what to say.
You read like you were fairly Intelligent but it sounds like
you have a chip on your shoulders
I am not fairly intelligent, there is nothing fair about the grace
that has been given me. And I do have a chip on my shoulder. Isn't
that what you came here to do? Take a shot at me? You are the kind
of guy who likes to knock chips off shoulders and get a bloody nose.
Why dont you use all that energy to
help the poor or visit the sick or people who are in prison ?
God gave some money and others time, but to me he gave words. Of
all that I have, I have shared freely. I am content to submit to
the judgment of the poor and captives but to your judgment I will
not submit.
An Interesting note....Cain was half Adamic I agree
I believe, in context, we do not agree. But point taken. Cain was
Eve's son and therefore Adamic in origin if only for that reason.
If Christ was a son of Adam, then so was Cain.
..but how do you explain the enmity
between the woman seed and
the serpent seed ?
Does it require an explanation? God declared the enmity. "I will
put enmity" That is the explanation. You have to be more specific,
I don't understand the question.
and why do you think Cain"s (Geneses 5) genealogy is not
mentioned in Adams genealogy?
Because it is not Adam's "genealogy" It is the descent of NOAH.
There were a lot of other folks not mentioned in that genealogy,
because they were not related to Noah.
Also, it is worth Noting that while Cain does
not Appear in Noah's Genealogy,
Adam does
appear in Cain's
genealogy, in Chapter 4, Verses 2-16 are a
PARENTHESIS in Cain's "genealogy."
Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare
Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he
builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of
his son, Enoch.
This formula is repeated OVER AND OVER, And
so-and-so knew his wife and she conceived and bare so-and-so. It is
the FORMULA for reproduction in the bible. It means what it says.
It is the height of arrogance and foolishness, and the devil's work
to try to say Adam was not
the Father of Cain, This is what I meant, THE BIBLE IS MY TEACHER.
Arnold Murray is the teacher of the bible, he tell it what it
means. I just listen. The bible clearly teaches that Cain was the
product of the union of Adam and Eve, all other opinions amount to
heresy which is a very grave sin and will result in exclusion from
the kingdom of God (Gal 5)
chapt. 4
Who do you think fathered Cain? a Fig Tree?
I believe I have answered that. And if you had an ounce of honor or
of divine favor, you would be humbled and repent and start studying
with someone who follows the bible, yes, someone like me. You
should have figured this out on your own but you are too willing to
be led astray. God help you.
(And by the way, that was another straw man. "a fig tree" of course
I wouldn't say that, but you felt good writing it, but now you look
silly to neutral observers, fig tree indeed)
One thing I have learned in my
life is never openly tear down another mans work in public ...There
are consequences
I can attest to that
I have no doubt you learned that in life, because I can attest that
you did not learn that from the bible.
1 Timothy 5:20 Them that sin
rebuke
before all, that others also may
fear.
2Tim 2:17 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; and overthrow
the faith of some.
(Arnold errs in precisely the same way, by the way)
When you refuse to publicly oppose heresy you not only prove that
you despise the people who are being led astray by it. You also
prove that you do not hold the truth itself in high regard, because
you would allow heresy to exult itself unchallenged. You hate the
truth and you hate the people who are misled. You would rather see
them destroyed than lift a finger against the reputation of a false
prophet heretic scoundrel like Arnold Murray. That is pretty deep
darkness you are in there Name Withheld, in the name of Jesus
Christ, snap out of it.
Sincerely,
Paul Stringini

Strawman Here.......
How are you Paul ?
I will just say that there is a "spirit" about your writings that is
mostly good
but there again is all about perception and with the 1% of the total
knowledge of the universe,
we humans can only scratch the surface of knowledge of GOD and hope weve
got it right,
I myself have chosen to spend my time learning rather than tear down
what others feel they may have learned.
Yes i agree we are supposed to oppose what we perceive as evil or
wrong but is anyone always right?
I feel that you in error because you are setting yourself up as judge
and the only Judge is GOD !
By This you will know them that they have love for one another,,,
I will conclude with this because I have already spent to much time on
the subject
I have never heard Arnold put down another mans work and I don't agree
with everything he teaches,
just like I don't agree with most of what you say either but I do know
this:
JUDGE NOT LEST YOU BE JUDGED
Godspeed

I don't judge anything. I listen to the judgment which God has already
pronounced. Your writing is full of judgment. You judge me, but you
don't even know what righteousness or love is, according to the
scriptures. By your standard, you are guilty of the same thing you
accuse me of. Here I am, following God as best I can, and along you
come and start judging my work. You condemn yourself. But I don't
condemn you, because it is love to rebuke the sinner, and you think I'm
doing something wrong, but you will be judged based on YOUR judgment of
me, not based on what I think. Even though the truth is that your
opinion is entirely based on human opinion and experience. The word of
God explicity commands us to rebuke people, and while I think there is
some descretion to keep private sins private, but it is also clear from
the scripture that when someone is corrupting the scriptures publicly it
is necessary that they be publicly rebuked for it. It is a simple
principle of the law.
Leviticus 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou
shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
That is what I'm doing to you now, because I don't hate you.
Arnold Murray's prohibition against naming dangerous preachers is itself
heretical and dangerous. It is like letting an unrepentant child
molester live in the neighborhood and refusing to notify families with
children. The only difference is that a false teacher is more dangerous
than a child molester.
Maybe you think Arnold Murray is mostly ok, but it is not because he
never criticises other people, that is just a self serving trick
designed to insulate himself from critics. He makes an instant sinner
out of anyone who speaks a word against him. Very convenient.
Here is the UTTER HYPOCRISY,
he does not need
to name the false teachers he goes after, because when you see anyone
teaching the rapture you know he is a false teacher based on Arnold
Murray's teachings already(and based on the bible). Arnold does not
need to name them specifically because there are so many of them. But
every time he teaches against this doctrine or that doctrine he is
condemning churches, denominations, and preachers. All his talk about
not naming people is just smoke and mirrors. It is just a trick to make
himself seem soooo gracious, but he is really just serving himself. And
when it comes to Dr. Murray, well, his teachings are much more rare, and
he is one of the only notable identity preachers out there, plus there
are all these people who have questions about him, and moreover, there
is no biblical
reason not to come out and name the scoundrel.
Have you ever even studied
this doctrine? (IE The false doctrine that says it is righteous to
refuse to name the corrupters of the word of God) What is the
scriptural basis for this doctrine? THERE IS NONE. No one has EVER
even offered a single verse to support it except "love one another"
which they don't even understand to begin with. What do you base your
beliefs on? Man or the bible? If you say the bible, you are fooling
yourself, you are a sloppy student, lazy, letting slick Jacks' like
Murray string you along. Love is what
does good not what makes us feel good.
And I'm perfectly willing to be judged on the same
basis on which I judge others, thatx is another verse you get a failing
grade on.
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous
judgment.
We don't make ourselves judges, God has judged everything already, we
need only heed the judgment of God. You are the one setting yourself up
as a judge. You have not listened to what God says that love does, so
you have made your own standard. You have not listened to the judgment
of God, so you have set yourself up, making judgments for yourself "It
is unrighteous to criticize false teachers by name." YOU HYPOCRITE!
Name Withheld, you are a HYPOCRITE! YOU are the one making it up as
you go along. YOU are the one who will be judge by his own judgments,
you say it is wrong to criticize another Man's work? Then why are you
writing me you HYPOCRITE?
"I myself have chosen
to spend my time learning rather than tear down what others feel they
may have learned."
I say that you lie to yourself, you hypocrite. And that is LOVE.
Sincerely,
Paul Stringini

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not mad. That last message was one I shared
with my wife, you, being a typical hypocrite. She thought I nailed you
pretty much dead to rights. I always write earnestly, I'm not one of
those light people who pretend like it is all a game. And I always
think, I certainly wasn't waiting for you to get me thinking, I think I
could have answered your message in my sleep. Lord knows I have
answered the same questions over and over and over. You can be all smug
and think yourself better, but I know what you are. My mission was
accomplished too.
2Cor2:14 Now thanks be unto
God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest
the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
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.

And no, it is not private, I thought you looked at
my website. All these messages get posted to my website (but there is a
significant delay) None of your personal information will appear on my
website, I carefully delete the name and email adress from all emails.
So people won't know who you are, but they will certainly read what you
say. And if you are unwilling to speak against me publicly then you
hate everyone that I turn from "the truth." And I am certainly turning
people away from the Shepherd's Chapel. And I am certainly teaching
people that false teachers should be publicly exposed. But I guess you
don't even care. You are one hard, hateful man.
