Two posters with almost the same name...

[Gregory Perry Sr.]

YeahesssAhh...lol

Thanks, and feel the same way also. If your travels ever take you through Western Kentucky around McCracken County or Paducah, let Tom Butler or I know, and we will be glad to meet you somewhere.

I think our next visit to Kentucky will probably be a return trip to the Creation Museum and also a visit to the upcoming Ark Encounter when they get it built and open. A bit out of your area...but who knows. I'd also like to visit the Fellowship Tract League in the Lebanon OH and the Air Force Museum in Dayton.
I would say the same to you...if your travels ever bring you near the Greenville SC area...let me know as well.

You are correct in one sense but our mostly lower case friend has demonstrated himself to be all of the above (or not) many times on many topics. Personally...I just try to avoid him most of the time and that is a sad thing to say about someone you would call a brother.:tear: I don't mind if someone disagrees with me on anything...I don't profess any perfection in or of myself. There are some here on this board though who don't know how to disagree with others in a civil way. I do believe, as Romans 12:18 exhorts that "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men."

On the Matthew 7:1 thing...it has been my observation that it is usually lost people (or mean saved people) who "pull that one out" to make or prove a point. I would point people (for the sake of proper context) to the entire passage through verse 6 just to keep things balanced....and then only if I was certain that I was not guilty of ever doing the same. WE are commanded in John 7:24 to "judge righteous judgement". If I have offended ANYONE here then I ask forgiveness for doing so. Just for the record...that confession does NOT extend to the convictions that I hold too because I would NOT hold to them if I was not convinced that I was right about them. I want to be right with the Lord even if it means being wrong with everybody else. If I am wrong on anything, I trust that God will reveal that to me and lead me to change accordingly. It has happened before many times and I'm certain that it will happen again until I step into His presence. Even so,come Lord Jesus!

Gregory,

Your post is nothing but a continuance of the indictment of Matthew 7:1.

 

[Gregory Perry Sr.]

Oh Well...

Gregory,

Your post is nothing but a continuance of the indictment of Matthew 7:1.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. I just disagree with it. I'm sure we both have people here who would either join us in agreement or oppose us in that which we believe. I do wish you well just as I do to bro. Rippon but sadly, we would probably not enjoy one another's company much as things currently stand. Regretable but true. I certainly don't profess to be the most super-spiritual member of the Baptist Board.....far from it. If you dislike or disagree with me then I would ask you to do one thing (and I am willing to do the same)....pray that God would bless, teach, enlighten, lead, and in whatever way He chooses, use me, for His Glory....ONLY! You pray that for me...and I will do the same for you. We (myself included) just all need to spend more time on our knees than at our keyboards (or at the very least...equal time).

Bro.Greg:saint:

Can I be a part of this prayer chain? Makes me wonder What awesome things might happen if the whole Baptist board came together in one great big prayer chain. It would be cool if there was perhaps an Audio thread which would give us the opportunity to pray together and be able to hear each other. Kind of like a audio shout out box.

Of course you disagree with it, this is apparent. I base nothing on my opinion, but upon a Scriptural principle.

Yes, you would not enjoy his company, not because of the splinter in his eye, but due to the log in yours. Once you see this, then true fellowship will flourish.

It is not in seeing our brothers problem, but in seeing our own that brings the greatest joy, a servant's heart and fellowship. We are strongest when we recognize our own wickedness. In this we become servant to the one we have maligned. Most Christians run from this examination, and also run from any doubt of their own standing, to their detriment.

Your platform is based upon 'Agree that I (Gregory) am better, and upon this basis we can fellowship'.

In all of this you are clearly in error. Your attitude falls well short of the kingdom people described in the Sermon on the Mount.

- Blessings

I find it incredible that you have just finished making the same "judgement" of me that you accuse me of being guilty of.....and then accuse me of trying to "elevate" myself to some higher spiritual status. You do not really know me yet you have completely misjudged me and will probably continue to do so. I'm sure you'll have more to say and will have to get the "last word" in but I am going to follow SN's sage advice which follows:

The trick to this is, with the Lord's help, is to get rid of the intense desire to have the last and best word, or to out insult the other person. In addition to the individual you mention, I can think of about four others that bring out the worst in me. It is my desire to overcome this and be a better person with the Lords help. No doubt, in my total being, posts like I have made to these individuals are a symptom of larger problems in my life. Praise the Lord we have the Holy Spirit and Jesus there to mold us into a more Godly person."

With that said...I shall now withdraw. Expect no further responses to your posts in this thread (at least).

[Rippon]

Are you really a new poster? Have you gone under another moniker on the BB before?

I said this way back in June 12, 2013,--the very day the fake RIPPON made his appearance. It has been annoying that the mods took more than 8 months to confirm that he was really Sat/Nep trying to deceive.

The remarks in this thread by Gregory Perry Sr.,righteousdude2, Mexdeaf, Ed B, Benjamin and Zaac were hurtful to me and totally uncalled for. But now you can see that your words of derision for me and praise for the fake RIPPON were all in vain.

Some other posters on this thread were what I would call neutral. But only one --preacher4truth, came to my defence early on. And for that I sincerely thank him. I hope the nightmare of SN/RIPPON has finally come to a close.

Honorable mention for not attacking me --go2church.

 

[righteousdude2]

Or, (dramatic music plays)....

I do not believe so- the new one's posts are not the same.

... this could be the signs of Dissociative identity disorder (DID), previously known as multiple personality disorders (MPD), beginning to manifest itself in our brother. After all, all these years of debates and attacks, can wear one down, physically as well as emotionally (dramatic music fades as do the lights that were shining on this posted comment)! :smilewinkgrin:

Ah,to be biblical -- it is simply known as lying --something he was noted for.

 

[righteousdude2]

Now that hurts me?

The remarks in this thread by Gregory Perry Sr.,righteousdude2, Mexdeaf, Ed B, Benjamin and Zaac were hurtful to me and totally uncalled for.

If in any way, what I said truly caused you hurt, I am sorry! I read my comment and did not see anything that could be considered offensive to the point of HURTING you, especially in light of all the "word bombs" you've tossed my way over the years!

So - Rippon - please read my comment and I quote...."while it may not be a game, it is annoying. Glad you stood up to the powers that be [legends in their own minds only], and decided to move on. Otherwise, this could bog you down for another five to ten pages, with NO end in sight.

Welcome RIPP0N (honest attempt to welcome the new member, not a fake feeling)....looking forward to your future posts!" :wavey:

Now, in the name of fairness, tell me how you can say I hurt you, or your reputation? And once you see I said nothing hurtful, I would like a retraction and apology from you for including me in your above post, blaming me for HURTING you! Be a man, Rippon, my post couldn't have hurt you, as I said nothing that can be construed as hurtful! Plus I welcomed the new RIPPON, and I surely didn't know that it was SN, that is a shocker. If he was behind this, then he deserved to be banned. And I say "if" because I don't know all the facts! And probably never will, as those in power, with the "delete and ban" buttons are tight lipped!

However, this entire OP needs to be clarified so as to lift up the fog that is going on with it!

God bless you Rippon! raying:

 

[righteousdude2]

That is....

Ah,to be biblical -- it is simply known as lying --something he was noted for.

....truly a shame! He had me fooled, but again, I need to know more, in order to make a decision as to just who was fooling, impersonating, who??? :BangHead:

If someone could do that, they must be very good at this cyber space thing. Now I feel more like a novice than ever before :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Rippon]

....truly a shame! He had me fooled, but again, I need to know more, in order to make a decision as to just who was fooling, impersonating, who??? :BangHead:

It's rather straightforward :Mike,alias Sat/Nep,had a double account. He had an animosity for me in particular. So in order to get under my skin he invented another character with a handle almost identical with mine. He felt that his alter ego was expendable so from that vantage point he could even be more pugnacious and risk having that character being banned;if it got down to that. But as other posters had observed all along --the nature of Sat/Nep's posts and his other account were unmistakably the same. I just don't know why the whole thing wasn't stopped in its tracks long ago.

 

[righteousdude2]

Wow!

That is one amazing story! Just when you think you know people! Anyways, I am still waiting to see just how I hurt you! It wasn't intended, and I do not see anything I said, which was said in all sincerity, thinking the new RIPPON was for real. So accept my apologies if anything I said was construed as wa slam to you! we don't see eye to eye, but that is life! At least we both love the Lord! :wavey:

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

Wait...this has been confirmed? If so has he been banned? And finally, who's to say he isn't masquerading as still another identity?

 

[Rippon]

What a soap opera - or comical mystery. --Either one. Sat/Nep and RIPPON were banned the other day.

God bless you Rippon! raying:

I was the one who was tightlipped about the whole affair. Thanks RD2. Maybe I was too thin-skinned for taking offense at your remarks --it was just the aggregate affect of so many going after me.

This may not be over though....not if he uses another IP address.

However he is a professing Christian and God chastens who he loves. I have real hope that with the Lords help Mike will repent of his sins and return to God....for that I pray.

I am also happy the masquerade is over. To see two Christian brothers at one anothers throats is disconcerting.

 

[Rippon]

You're right!

I am also happy the masquerade is over.

Me too;needless to say.

To see two Christian brothers at one another's throats is disconcerting.

At least it wasn't really three individuals --just two. Didn't you think anything was fishy going on when his fake persona had an instantaneous animosity for me as a supposed new-comer?

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

I am still wondering why you carried on with the guy.

Of course......and let this trail off to a psychological profile if I wanted to.....but that would be worldly, wouldn't it. I thought, just check the IPaddresses

But allowing this to go on so long....to play it out like this is tragic.
