Dave:

I realize it was not Jeff, but you who said this. I don't know why you are saying I bring him into it. I know perfectly well it was you originally who said this.

Dave:

Well, that's really something. Actually, there are many attitudes that are not Christian in Christianity all together...not just WOF. So please don't limit this to WOF peope only.

I already said that Dr. Fred Price does not teach it is a "lack of faith" if someone takes medicine. How many times must I say this??? WOF people have learned through the years that they have said some extreme things at one time and have repented of saying them. But yet, over the airwaves, you hear quotes of old recordings of something they no longer teach. I thought Christians are suppose to forgive? How would you like it if someone continued to repeat a sin you committed over national radio and yet, you've repented of it?

Jaime:

> Dave, I have already mentioned before that I still commit the sin of hypocrisy. That makes me a Pharisee in my own way. So do not worry about me casting the first stone on myself, for I have already done it.

Dave:

Thank you for such honesty. Are you aware of what the Bible says about that? It says before you can take the mote out of your brothers eye, take the beam out of your own eye first so that you can see clearly. So maybe, you should not criticize people of what you are also guilty of. Please don't take this wrong. I'm saying this out of the love of God. Matthew 7:1-5

It's unbiblical to attempt to correct someone if you have the same problem. At least that's what I understand Matthew 7:1-5 is saying.
