Hi Name Withheld,Thanks for taking the time to write. I understand my page offends you, and this is your way of lightly lashing out at me. I am not moved by such appeals to my vanity: "Oh! God forbid that I should appear to be freaky or weird!" No, I really don't care what anyone thinks of me. In my opinion, Arnold Murray's obsession with Kenites and his crude manipulation of the biblical text is more on the weird freaky side.I have not updated the Shepherd's Chapel page on my website in months, having better things to do. So it's hard for me to take your observations seriously. It's not an obsession, its just something I do on the side. You look at seven years of side work and say "Wow, there is a lot of stuff here." But it's just a little here and a little there in my life. I owe it to the people who study with Arnold Murray. I do it from a sense of duty. I was once a student of Shepherd's Chapel. Martin Luther had the Catholic Church, and I have Arnold Murray, get it? That is where I came from.Anyways, The only ones being made fools are the people who attempt to defend Arnold Murray's corrupt teachings. It is very easy for you to say I'm making a fool of myself. That is very cheap talk. But you cannot make a fool of me. Give it a try if you like.But better yet, I recommend my bible studies. Why should we talk about Arnold Murray, I've said all I really care to say about him.Line by line, on demand, free bible studies. http://oraclesofgod.org/studies/Sincerely,Paul Stringini

I was just making an observation. I don't have to "try" to do anything with you. You can't handle the truth about you being foolish and wasting your time, makes no difference to me. Good luck, I guess, with your "bible studies". Btw, I believe Christians are supposed to capitalize the word "Bible".

Does that sound like a sound biblical principle to you? "If they fail to capitalize the word "Bible" ...they might not be Christian." That is a very "Kenite" way of making up religion. Wash the pots and cups, but neglect the weightier matters: judgment, mercy, and faith. I'm not that kind of Christian. Sometimes I forget to capitalize things, and sometimes, I misspell things too, (shock!) but I never really care about stuff like that. I have a very treacherous keyboard.When you refer to me "wasting time" It makes me wonder if you are a passing atheist or something. Because I could see how an atheist or similar person would characterize what I do as "time wasting." They would see my efforts as pointless because they believe there is no God. I can understand why they would feel that way. Perhaps that was why you were "not offended?"Supporters of the Shepherd's Chapel would be more likely to describe my activities as damnable, and self destructive. That would make sense, I was presuming you were a believer, but perhaps that was incorrect. A believer would not call what I do "time wasting." Those who agree with me say "good job" and those who disagree say "danger!"My goal is to turn people away from the Shepherd's Chapel, so I do not waste my time. What I do works. I'm not trying to destroy the Chapel or to take away all their students. But I do what I do for the few who can hear me. And hear me they do. So I am glad to be a fool for their sakes in the eyes of one such as yourself. I care about people, like I said, appealing to my vanity as you attempt to do is ineffective. However, my work is effective and I am pleased with the results. I get many more letters of thanks than I do letters telling me I'm wasting my time. Most chapel folks think what I do is diabolical.So unless you are an atheist, I have to see your message as a weak passive-aggressive attempt to get under my skin by a Chapel follower. Fascinating, but ineffective. Your opinion does not make sense, and expressing it as you do only exposes you as either an apathetic believer or an unbeliever.And if it made no difference to you, you would not have written me.Thanks for your contribution.

You somehow decided you are fit to teach, and you even copy the style of the man you turned on.
Now you have to take guesses at what religion I am? I am glad that you realize that you make a ton of grammatical errors. You seem to have sub-Saharan level writing skills.
You are a little defensive; I must have struck a nerve.

Striking nerves seems to be something you value doing. That is an interesting hobby you have there. So, you like to hurt people, is that it? If that gives you pleasure, then, by all means, you may continue to imagine you are hurting me. But I really don't care what you think you've done to me. I know what I've done, and I will continue to do it. If it did not offend you (as you claimed), then you would not talk to me like one who attempts to return an offense.I guess at your belief's based on the fruit of your lips. That is how I know you, by what you say to me. It is not unusual for followers of the Shepherd's Chapel to talk like Atheists. I have long marveled at the phenomena. Because they know not the true God, and God is not in them. Therefore they speak ungodly.It's funny that you apply standards to me that you do not apply to Murray. Who decided he was fit to teach? And as for me, since you have not heard me teach, what makes you fit to judge my teachings?Line by line bible study is not a style that Arnold Murray invented or something. Believe me, my "style" of teaching, is nothing like his. I do not condescend to people and flatter them with feigned words. I don't toot my own horn all the time about what a great teacher I am and about all the righteous things I do. That is Murray's style. He corrupts people with flatteries and sounds the trumpet before himself about all the good things he claims he does. Sound the trumpet! Murray is the greatest!If I am your Judas, than that means Murray is your Jesus, and that is pretty much how it goes. At least the things I say about Murray have substance. I take the time to pick apart his teachings.I am weird, freaky, and making a fool of myself. I write like a "sub-Saharan." Are my nerves are "struck" with this piercing insight? I would laugh, but I've heard it all before. I get insulted by people like you all the time. You are what the Bible calls a railer. Slip that shoe on, because it fits right real snug. In any case, I still recommend my studies. Maybe if you listened to them you would have something real to say against me. http://oraclesofgod.org/studies/Sincerely,Paul Stringini

BTW, you DID learn your "teaching" format from Pastor Murray, whether you admit it or not.
----- Original Message -----From: Paul StringiniTo: Name WithheldSent: Monday, June 23, 2014 1:38 PMSubject: Re: Emailer #231 Used His Own Name as the SubjectSo, what? Obviously I value line by line bible study or I would not have studied with him in the first place. But I do not use his "style" which is flattery and boast. He flatters his disciples (and also abuses anyone who might disagree with him, you know, they are "just a little bit stupid") I don't copy that aspect. Format, sure, it's a good format. He is not the only one that uses it, but I certainly heard it first from him.As far as my conjectures being "off target." You don't seem to get it. I don't really believe any of the things I say about you. I don't know you from Adam. I'm just telling you what YOUR WORDS are communicating to me, So if your words are giving me the wrong idea. That is entirely your fault. Just as it is my fault if you think I'm "conjecturing" about you. I have let you believe that by failing to communicate effectively with you. But that was not altogether unintentional either, I did not pursue intentional communication with you since from the beginning your communication has been nothing but mild insult. And, on that score, I'm 100% correct and have been all along.

I think that is a fair assessment:"Your Pastor Arnold Murray obsession is kind of weird and freaky. You are making a fool out of yourself. "Was I supposed to glean some deep truth out of that?
