Some more quick notes on the Dearborn situation

I noticed that James White pointed out another video that exposes one gentleman's false report to police.  Here is that video:








What made me perk up was that the man in this video, Roger Williams, claims to be a Christian missionary from Trinity Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL, the church to which, in human terms, I owe my salvation.  The "Witness Unto Me" blog interviewed Williams, where he claimed the above video twisted his side of the story (?!?).  He also claimed in that interview that TBC does evangelism quite differently, a claim which I refuted in the meta.  (As a side note: TBC has changed its image over the past few years, so I am not completely discounting the possibility that they have changed their evangelistic methods.)

I would be willing to accept that this guy was so incensed due to his supposed doctrinal disagreement with Acts 17 that he would blurt out that You-need-to-worry-about-me-messing-with-you comment and then, realizing it was very inappropriate, he wished to slink away and began to kick himself harder knowing it was now on tape.

But then he immediately phoned security rather than explain his beef.

And he had that smirk the whole time. Nervousness? Or something else?

And then he falsified a police report.

What is the dealio with our brother treating other Christians this way?

UPDATE:
I'm sorry, I meant to include this: some of the threats the group has received.

On YouTube, there is this comment by "OurStyleZ":
My dear muslims....Im sure there is one lion living in America who knows how to track these guys down.......PLease deal with the case....Slit this guys nuts open and leave the dog belly up in the street....
Al Sayef Al MAslool Liman Sab Al-Rasoul!
The last line apparently reads, "A drawn sword for him who left the prophet" or "A drawn sword for him who cursed the prophet."

According to David Wood, the official police report contains his personal information, meaning any "lion living in America" can do just this.

A couple of comments left by "WorldIslamicOrder" a couple of days ago:
First you should be beaten and made to confess your crimes against Islam and Muslims. Then lined up and shot in the skull. Then all your ABN property should be seased and the crew arrested and deported.
and:
I think the local Muslims in Michigan or where ever the hell you are from should hang you on a public street and let you rot. That would be a nice scene.
to which Acts 17 replied:
I don't think it would happen. If a Muslim came to kill me, I'd show him that Muhammad can't be a true prophet. It's pretty easy to do. So then there would be no reason to be angry at me.
YouTube is a strange place, with people saying just about anything behind their keyboard anonymity. And I am sure that not all Muslims like the fact that a few of their people are posting comments like this. One thing is clear, though: things are getting dangerous for Acts 17 members.

RE: "Pastor Dayna Muldoon EXPOSED"

Image
It enough to make your heart ache.  "Pastor" Dayna Muldoon  has been pitching her tent in Florida, and like Todd Bentley before , false claims to miracles, healing, and prophecies litter her campsites. This video of a Calvary Chapel pastor exposing her as a false prophet has been appearing in various places, and its been uploaded to YouTube multiple times.  Even Todd Friel got animated about this , and nothing gets him hyper. Here's the deal: Muldoon set up her tent-meetings right down the road from Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg , peeking the interests of many attending the church.  When they listened to the message she presented, however, they found it not to be the Gospel, but instead the typical narcissistic message of health and blessings from God. This is coming from a Calvary Chapel crew, folks that are typically non-cessationists themselves.  Many churches, including this particular Calvary Chapel , host after-glow services where one ex...

Was Rebekah a child when she married Isaac?

Did Isaac marry a three-year-old?  If you've never pondered this question, it's because nothing in the straightforward reading of the text would suggest that Rebekah was a toddler or that their marriage was arranged. Even so, a couple of verses out of context could be used by skeptics to prove anything.  While perusing the web for a related topic, however, I found a thread stating that the Bible isn't against the raping of children .  The cited evidence was this issue, the claim being that Isaac engaged in pedophilia. The question comes from the fact that Genesis 22:23 announces the birth of Rebekah after the binding of Isaac.  Tradition states that Isaac was then thirty-seven, and Scripture says that the two wed when Isaac was forty (Gn 25:20).  Hence, Isaac robbed the cradle. The whole theory is fraught with assumptions, the primary being that Scripture never records a age marker for Rebekah.  Further complicating the matter, however, is Jewis...

MacArthur: Calvinism in a Nutshell

Image
From YouTube: Calvinism (Also know by Doctrines of Grace or Reformed theology) John MacArthur use Romans 8:28-30 as main text. The five points of calvinism are Total depravity (total inability), Unconditional election, Limited atonement (Also called particular redemption or definite atonement), Irresistible grace (also called efficacious grace), and Perseverance of the saints. Full sermon http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/90-427 Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren. And these whom He predestined, He also called. And these whom He called, He also justified. And these whom He justified, He also glorified."
