Warning People

If we here at the Anti SGM Satire Inc HQ had a nickel for every time we read a variation of the excuse, "the hurtful things we say about Sovereign Grace is all justified because we are warning people about them," we'd take that money and buy the sgmsurvivors.com/onlinestore Jeffersons Bible. We'd also chip in a penknife for free.

This thought occured me: by pointing out every little deficiency in SGM and blaming them for everything from the bad dream you had last night to Global Warming, you are assigning SGM as God. Now I'm quite sure God isn't too happy to hear about this transition, but clearly sgmsurvivors think that He's been asleep at the wheel. To assign blame for a circumstance to SGM, or to assign blame for a heart issue one is dealing with to CJ Mahaney or Steve Shank tells us a few things. (a) your view of God is a micron shorter than a strand of hair. and (b) these guys are easier to blame than to blame the One who created the very mind you use to defame His bride.

So. Really?! You can say whatever you want about someone just as long as it's under the category of "warning them." Let's give it a shot:

Don't visit sgmsurvivors.com or sgmrefuge.com because if you do, a part of your soul with flee your body with a shriek of an engine thats been shot with a sniper round. Reading any posting or subsequent ad nauseum comments about how SGM is like Nazi Germany and CJ is like Hitler not only lowers your IQ but it damages you spiritually. Exposing yourself to the sheer idocy of vain arguments heavily laced with bitter rants bent on causing only hurt and dissention doesn't exactly put you in the right place to worship God. I think these site owners have quit their jobs so they can sit at home and giggle with each other online when they find new things to blame SGM for or find out how some pastor slipped up.

That was fun.

So if we believe that it's really God, not SGM, who determines the course of every circumstance, I would challenge sgmsurvivor.com and sgmrefuge.com to turn their comments heavenward. All the hurt,dissention, hate, anger, slander, gossip and bitterness needs to be directed to God. NOT SGM. See how He takes it.
No?

Why not?

Oh sure, it's easier to hide behind your keyboard and take potshots at pastors who wont ever fight back.
Oh by the way, We've talked with several pastors about these sites; they all really couldn't care less about what is written about them online. They spend their efforts with the people who actually go to the church they pastor, not with embittered people from the outside who are trying to change the church. (I found this hilarious. Here I was thinking we had an issue to uphold and the SGM pastors we talked with didn't think twice about it)
Back to taking potshots at the men that God ordained and placed in leadership. If you have an issue with how a leader is leading (or not leading) you take that up with God, not incite a rebellion. You think the direction of a church should go a different way, you tell God that to His face. You think your pastor is the wrong man for the job, in all your infinite wisdom, I say you should go tell God about it. But spend all your free time festering old wounds and backstabbing and undercutting a group of churches, specfic pastors and leaders?!?!
Are. You. Serious?
There is no precedent.
There is no Biblical basis.
There is no way God is OK with this.
There is no way any good will come of it.

I don't suppose you all could just get over it and go away? Why keep up the fighting? You all want change for the church that you don't want to be a part of? Why don't you start your own church and try being a pastor for all of five minutes. While your there you can grow up.
