@Lord0fValinor@EvenWokerPresby Do you think the same of the session at Heritage OPC when they refused to investigate Lovelady because Eli didn’t have standing?
While the principle she is pointing out isn’t wrong, putting these two groups on the same continuum is.
Spangler is a racist who has fled church discipline and LARPs as a minister. McGowan has, to my knowledge, never been under discipline and is in good standing in the PCA.
Just wanna say, you can avoid both the Eli McGowan coalition AND the Michael Spangler coalition.
It can be done with just a little common sense and lot of Bible!
@Lord0fValinor@EvenWokerPresby The session would be the pastor (teaching elder) and elders (ruling elders) of his local church. That is what Presbyterians call Original Jurisdiction. The session is the "church level."
@elimcgowan@Fozzybear_Lives Eli, you and I have spoken before about how I think your behavior isn't helpful in advancing a fair trial in the courts.
Stop trying to adjudicate this on my feed. If Chuck has sinned against you, send a letter to his session.
@elimcgowan@Fozzybear_Lives Guy's, I'm not interested in two brothers fighting it out publicly on my feed.
You are both churchmen, handle it like churchmen.
@Lord0fValinor@EvenWokerPresby If you aren't, then you're getting the same response Eli got when he reached out to Lovelady's elders in Texas, so that seems fair.
@Lord0fValinor@EvenWokerPresby Okay...
If you ARE a member of a PCA church then you have a right to file formal charges and if the session does not receive and act on them, then you would have a right to file a charge against the session with Presbytery.
@GuyJones1111 that sounds exactly like something a teenage girl who is pretending to be an old man would say.
I bet you walked uphill to school both ways, right?
@LordTemplar1 Again, I’m not sure I should be taking advice from a teenage girl, and I can’t know you aren’t a teenage girl, so I’m forced by way of reason and logic to ignore you.
Cheer and amen.
@LordTemplar1 Not sure it is possible to slander an anonymous person on the internet. You might not even be a human, lots of internet cowards are actually AI these days.
