Liberty Trustees' Announcement about Falwell Jr.

[AustinC]

Well take him to the woodshed!

My gosh, can you hear yourself? I'll take a repentant sinner any day over rabid accuser.

Cal, it almost comes off as you revering Mr. Falwell to a point of idol worship.
We get it, you want Mr Falwell to remain as President.
My point is that neither you nor I have any say in this. God will do as God wills and Mr Falwell will be better off for it.

I'm actually laughing at some of this stuff. Seems so petty. I thought your joke about his name was in poor taste.

I like JFJ. I like this humor. Yes, he needs to be careful, but he acknowledges this.

It took me a minute to even remember what you're referring to.

 

[Sai]

Falwell doesn't have anything to do with the actual academics.

I’ve never considered going there myself and have not looked into anything taught at the university.

 

[Sai]

This is not a first offense. It's a pattern.

Then if he is a carnal believer that eliminates eldership for the man in the local church. If the principle applies to JF according to LU doctrine then he should not be in a position of authority at the university either.

 

[Salty]

Forgiveness doesn't mean that there are no consequences.

David - what do you think of this How about Calminian invites Jerry jr to become the pastor of his church. You can be sure there will be no problems even if Jerry hits the bars ......

He's not a Pastor, so I doubt we'd consider him.

But I'd be happy to worship and serve with him. I'd actually love to be involved in a ministry with him. Seems like a great guy. I wouldn't even be offended if he had a drink once in a while. I doubt my Pastor would ether, or any of the elders. We're biblical, not pharisaical.

It just kills you guys I won't condemn him. It's revealing much more about you than him.

The problem is David is not backing up his accusations. Ask him for evidence, he'll tell you to find the evidence yourself.

In fact, he doesn't even have evidence this recent incident was a sin. Thou shalt not joke about pregnant bellies!

No, it baffles me that you praise him and refuse to acknowledge the wrongdoings.

Joking about pregnant bellies?

I told you exactly how to find it. That is NOT a false accusation and I demand an apology from you for your false accusation.

 

[Calminian]

I told you exactly how to find it. That is NOT a false accusation and I demand an apology from you for your false accusation.

I said you're not backing up your accusations. I demand you apologize to JFJ, or provide evidence of the sinful pattern you've accused him of.

 

[Reformed1689]

I said you're not backing up your accusations. I demand you apologize to JFJ, or provide evidence of the sinful pattern you've accuse him of.

I've already provided your path to get the evidence. At this point you are sinning by bearing false witness against me.

Not me. I don't care whether you support him or not. However, you are coming across as obsessed with him and offended that the board of trustees has disciplined him.

 

[Calminian]

I've already provided your path to get the evidence. At this point you are sinning by bearing false witness against me.

Not not a path. If you're going to accuse, you provide the evidence. I tried your path and it lead to liberal hack attack sites. If you've got the goods a man's sinful behavior, spill it. Otherwise, retract and apologize.

 

[Calminian]

Not me. I don't care whether you support him or not. However, you are coming across as obsessed with him and offended that the board of trustees has disciplined him.

I wish you were obsessed with truth. Seems you're obsessed with rumors.

 

[Reformed1689]

Not not a path. If you're going to accuse, you provide the evidence. I tried your path and it lead to liberal hack attack sites. If you've got the goods a man's sinful behavior, spill it. Otherwise, retract and apologize.

So you just don't accept the evidence. That is your choice but you don't get to call me a liar.

 

[Reformed1689]

Exactly

 

[Calminian]

So you just don't accept the evidence. .

First you admit, you gave me only a path to evidence, not the actual evidence. Then you accuse me of not accepting the evidence you failed to supply. This is getting rich.

I always said I was giving you the path to the evidence. You really need to check yourself.

 

[Calminian]

Some commandments I've gleaned from this thread.

Thou shall not make pregnant belly jokes!
Thou shall believe all accusations!
Thou shall not accept an apology from Jerry Falwell Jr.
Thou shall not fail to condemn Jerry Falwell Jr.

Let me know if I'm missing any others.
