Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to voice your opinion.
 
"You have no right to Judge anyone."
 
I don't judge anyone.  I judge doctrine.  We are called to do this.  Murray does the same thing.  YOU did the same thing when you wrote me.  You sure did.   If I have no right to judge anyone's doctrine, then you have no right to judge me either.  That would be classic hypocrisy.  But I have the right and duty to judge doctrine and "call a spade a spade," when it comes to what someone teaches.  Like I said, Murray does it all the time, one word, "Rapture."  We know what Murray's opinion of rapture teachers is, even without him naming them, they are too many to name.  I don't approve of the rapture either, but the point is that it is correct to do what I do.
 
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 am not judging the man Arnold Murray, I am marking him because he causes divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which I have learned in the scriptures.  He may repent, so I'm not judging him or condemning him.  You just think I am doing that because you don't think Murray will repent, and you know what the bible says will happen to false teachers and false prophets. 
 
When it comes to condemning opinions which are different to his own, Arnold Murray does that on a daily basis.  So i find it impossible to take your accusation seriously.  The apostles never shied away from naming the dudes that were teaching false doctrine.
 
2Tim 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2Tim 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
2Tim 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
 
Oddly enough Murray teaches the same thing that Hymenaeus and Philetus taught.  "Beloved, they are already with him." Weird coincidence?  "Beloved there is no such thing as a coincidence."  That's was Dr. Murray would say.
 
It seems funny how some of your web cites are not available.
 
Hmmm, I don't know what you mean by that,  any chance you might elaborate?
 
I will pray for you that you see the truth.
 
Well, thank you, I appreciate your good heart and I know you bear me no ill will.  I pray the same for you and let the Lord guide us all to a full understanding of the truth.  You might consider checking out my bible studies.  Line by line...http://oraclesofgod.org/studies/index.htm  I recommend Matthew.
 
remember JUDGE NOT FOR YOU WILL BE JUDGED THE SAME WAY YOU JUDGE OTHERS
 
This is what I was trying to point out before.  If you are saying what I do is wrong, then what you have done to me is also wrong.  You are not allowed to judge my doctrine. 
 
I hate to tell you, but what you are doing is the hypocrisy.  I'm not a hypocrite in this.  I willingly submit my doctrine to your judgment.  You have every right to pass judgment on my teachings.
 
HYPOCRITE.
 
Now, now, people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks.  You are not standing on solid ground.
 
In my opinion you are a LIAR; but GOD will judge you.
 
This statement doesn't make sense, probably because you are wrestling with your own hypocrisy.  You badly want to judge me, personally, that is why you write me.  You don't say, "the things you write are lies"  No you judge me personally, you say that I am a liar, personally.
 
Even Paul the Apostle, when he condemned the teachings of Hymenaeus and Philetus was careful to make it about what they said.  "whose word"  and etc.  But you make it all about me.  Its obvious who the hypocrite here is...
 
In my opinion liars are discussing.
 
Well, I'm sitting here listening to my Shepherd's Chapel cassettes for the first time in over 15 years.  And while I do find the lies disgusting, I still feel pity for the liar.  I just got some choice clips of Murray that I am going to be using on my website to document the way he uses study tools incorrectly and gives incorrect information. Murray tells lies.  I know that and will document it.
 
Sincerely
 
Paul Stringini
