Maybe if they are doing it at all, Peter and Paul are doing just what Terry suggested. Maybe they are "using verbal stoning as a last resort."   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 3:51 PM Subject: [TruthTalk] Questions set the tone Is that what you would call what goes on here Terry? I know Kevin's style (and mine at times) is kind of cut and dried but I have come to appreciate the time he puts into doing his homework and his zeal for God's Word.  Going through all that Mormon stuff must be so boring; how does one deal with a situation like this ione in love?   Look at how the apostle Paul dealt with a similar situation in Acts 13:10 he said "O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord" Then there was Peter with the newly baptized Simon in Acts 8:22 Peter told him to "Repent of thy wickedness and pray God if perhaps the thought of thine heart be forgiven thee for I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity"  Do you believe that both Peter and Paul were walking in the spirit and in the bond of peace and love here, or were they verbally stoning these people?   Judy   From: Terry Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A'int no doubt about it.  There is a time for just about everything; truth , love, reproof, correction.  I just look at verbal stoning as a last resort.
