O Hi O Haughty Clown

Maybe you’ve heard from "All Hat, No Cowboy" as he swings on his pendulum .... going from vanity (where he brags on the superiority of his new commentary) ....

Prov 27:2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

.... to disdain (where he rails Christian brothers, whom the Bible instructs him to love):

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Rom 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Gal 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

1 Thess 4:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

The slander he constantly spouts on and on and on really wearies me. I’m so tired of reading his racist allegations against a friend, whom I personally know is not at all prejudice.

Then to deal with the authorship of Hebrews in "no uncertain terms" takes quite a big ego! Didn’t he even read the first word of the epistle? .... God! But I guess for someone who thinks the morning sun rises in himself, it is not a stretch for him to think he can prove who wrote Hebrews.

Gal 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

And, oh, what we would pay to have his Bible notes! What conceit! People begging him to print his own mid-Acts Bible .... I can imagine the line up at book-signing now. Better take a sleeping bag the night before!

I wonder if his tax return would show the same dollars worth of give-away books as his cutting edge newsletter touts. But of course, his mid-Acts dispensational position easily disregards Jesus’ words of warning:

Matt 6:1-4 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.


But he makes exception for his own convenient use of the gospels, as he refers to the ‘well done’ statement from our Lord in the book of Matthew:

Matt 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Everything he does, to hear him tell it, is so much better than anything anyone else offers .... with his "Amen" Sister-Wife cheerleader coming in 2nd place.

1 Cor 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

It also baffles me that such a self-proclaimed proponent of the KJV would be so negligent of the plain verse that ‘our apostle Paul’ says is ‘the office of a BISHOP’. He still calls himself and others by the term ‘pastor’ which is a shepherd of sheep! Mid-Acts-ers strictly believe that the ‘sheep’ are Israel.

1 Tim 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

In my opinion, that bald-headed clown in cowboy boots is riding a high horse. Since this is my blog, I’ll tell you that I think he’s more ‘suited’ like the story of the emperor’s new clothes!
