They both taught in our school here in California and he was principal of our school too for many years. I'm sorry about the church split you went through. Have a great new year.Kent Brandenburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13419354741455959191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-38599014637781521332016-12-30T11:23:54.507-08:002016-12-30T11:23:54.507-08:00I miss my old church. It was small country church ...I miss my old church. It was small country church about 80-100 people on Sunday morning.Most of the people attending there had been members for 20+ years. One particular lady in her 90's had attended her entire adult life. <br />I miss my pastor , he was my friend and stood up for me in my wedding 17 years ago.<br />The hardest part for me when our church split was watching my 10 kids losing all there friends and trying to make new friends somewhere else. I've been to 5-6 Baptist churches in the last year, but its not the same as my old church.<br />For people that think that Bible translations is some kind of game , you are sorely wrong. It rips my heart out when I think about it.<br />I stood up for what I believe in, and so should you. However, now I do it with tears in my eyes and with a broken heart. <br />" I will lift up my hands" not to smit my brothers, but to love the commandments of God.<br />For those that want a real life example of this watch the James white , Steve Tassi debate on Calvinism and you will see what I mean. Its to long for most people to watch , so fast forward to 1hour and 57 minutes into the debate where Steve starts to choke.<br />I know Kent B has taken alot of criticism on this blog for what he says. I can't say that I personally know him, but I knew his dad. He was one of my highschool football coaches and Bible teacher. There was not a arrogant bone in that mans body. <br />He was the real deal (Kent's dad). The fruit doesn't fall very far from the tree either.<br />In not an educated person , but I know people and I know how things work, and I promise you that Kent's role in this Bible debate can not be underestimated.<br />Thanyou craig<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191841072741059097noreply@blogger.com
