Given the time and attention being given to HH I'm
guessing that it's appropriate that we're about to hear DM's reflections on HT
(Holy Thomas F. Torrance). I once had a person walk in asking for "books by
dead holy guys" (he didn't trust live ones).
It does amuse me somewhat given the vitriolic
responses to the very mention of those from whom we
learned that nary a peep has been offered
over this love/hate fest over dearly(?) departed HH.Are you folks part of a
cult? Have we been duped? Chuckle Lance

Hubert is going to be a tough one to learn about. He did
not build a personal empire like many ministers. He was not a
writer like those who have left us a legacy. Although he earned a
Ph.D., he never flaunted it and nobody I knew called him Doctor
Lindsey. He was just Hubert. He was like the apostles of
Christ who went down in history without us knowing much of what they did,
those apostles who left us no writings, like Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew,
Lebbaeus, and Simon Zelotes. His testimony was his life, and it
greatly touched those who were blessed to have encountered
him.
In fact, I cannot find any sites putting out
Hubert propaganda that is not a for-profit enterprise. DavidM, you need
to understand that I am very much opposed to anyone who practices his faith in
the Elsman and Danny fashion. They may be good guys. They
might even get things done for the Lord. but I sure that some in
the first century could say the same for Alexander the copper
smith. Hubert, with what little an unbiased observer can
discover, is somewhat the forefather to all this thuggery (and I speak
specifically of Elsman and his crew). And now, you admit there is
precious little out there that would help those of us who really would like to
know. Mordecai Ham was likewise a very abusive preacher -- even for
his day and time. But, at least, there is information about him
that is dependable. I don't expect to find material written by
Lindsey nearly so much as I expect to find third party material written about
a man who spoke like Ham (your admission) but was accepted by the Roman
church, converted thousands of hippies, brought 40,000 Jews to the Lord and
whose ministry was used by Gilly Graham.
