What Is Happening To The G.n.c.?

[bishop1]

What is happening to the Good News Cafe Forum as I browse the APOSTOLIC web today.

I fired up my trusty ole computer to see if I could look upon other fellow Apostolics and find some real spiritual words and thoughts of encouragment that could be applied toward today's fight with ole slewfoot.

I'll look at the current threads; -- Oh lookie ---
Random Words -- lets check them out. -- Oh Noooooooo.

The entire world can have access, by the internet, to the inner most thoughts of True Apostolics "and what are we giving them to look at "?

The 'Good News Cafe Forum' is and can continue to be a strong outreach If We Don't Misuse It. We can have fun on it without being so carnal and posting something stupid. Sincere posts on a forum will get sincere answers

I have never been known to cram my convictions down someone else's throat and I don't expect others to cram theirs down mine. JESUS convicts us of various things in our daily walk with him. After a babe is weaned he learns to craw, walk ,and talk. As he grows then more is expected of him. I live my convictions and I Preach only the unadulterated Word Of GOD.

What is happening to the G.N.C.forum?
Good Things I Hope
and maybe even a more spiritual tone.

:beammeup: :bow:[I]

[Xerf]

Well, I for one, can agree with that!






Brother John pull my plug I no longer feel needed!

Goodbye to all............and may the world be a more serious place after my departure!


Signing off............5........4............3.........2.. .........1..........(sniff)

[foreverblessed]

We have a whole Ministry Cafe in addition to The Daily Word, and Praise sections. There is a lot here to feed you spiritually if you need it.

I don't see anything wrong with humor provided by Xerf and others. Sometimes I pop in here just to read some of the funny things. It puts a smile on my face. :)

If you are not interested in reading something funny, then just stick to the more serious threads. You have that choice.

Some of us actually need some humor in our lives, it is better than crying!

PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Don't go Xerf..... some of us love ya! :)

[bishop1]

That is what I mean -
I post and some woman tries to put me in her place.

Xerf got my point and did not take offence and is not leaving the site.

The fruit of the SPIRIT Is
LOVE -
JOY -
PEACE -
L O N G S U F F E R I N G -
GENTLENESS -
GOODNESS -
FAITH -
MEEKNESS -
T E M P E R A N C E

[tufluv]

IF YOU LEAVE, XERF, then I'll have no choice but to go also...[sniff,sniff], and then guess who??May take my place-again!!??!! See!, and it'll be all YOUR FAULT!!

:jk: , MAYBE. Hey, besides, there IS a lot of serious talk HERE!
and if its debating to the death you prefer, there's that too!
Its about time we show the world we ARE HUMAN, as well as "saints" [if such be one's calling]. :angel: (p.s. In no way meant to imply that "compromise" is OK).

[stmatthew]

As far as I understand, the part of the GNC that we are posting in is not intended to be an outreach, but a place where Apostolics can come and enjoy fellowship.

Am I wrong moderators??

[stmatthew]

Seems Like the Bishop is getting in on the fun too..........

Two skunks out walking by the church one day -

now we know for sure it's definitely not John.

Bishop- I am afraid it has happened rather you like it or not. Women learned how to read and write. What can we say?

But it gets even better..... We are actually teaching our sons how to do laundry and clean toilets! :eek:

Oh my goodness. Will society ever recover from such folly?!?

Forever is not just "some woman". She is a beloved sister in the Lord.

I don't know if you're just joking around, but you seem pretty hostile to me here -- and that doesn't line up with the fruit you spoke of.

You got that right, sister!!!! My boy is a great help with the housework! I give him a :tup:

[ThirdGeneration]

AK- :tup:

[bishop1]

I clearly see that my point was missed -
at first I thought it went over someones head -


ThirdGeneration; - RE: Laundry

I have two sons {both single' never married & both own their own homes **'HINT help HINT'**} and when they were young we were in a situation similar to Bro. Dave and we developed a sure fire laundry system as follows;
. We purchased and marked several clothes hampers for each type item. We purchased only black socks, white underwear, white towels and wash cloths, and white sheets.

LAUNDRY DAY came only when everything was dirty. We would use our famous system by going to the laundrymat at night and use every washer and dryer. I would load and temp set all washers, Mark would feed them with coins, and Shawn would put the soap in.

One memorable laundry day my sister's son, Mike, was visiting with us and got caught up in the excitement. It seemed as if everyone had a job but him and he just wanted to be of help. Mike saw a gallon of bleach and began to add the bleach starting with the colors first and I did not notice until we began to take the clothes out of the dryers
We Acually Invented The TyeDye and did'nt even know it.



MORAL
Women Can Do Some Jobs Better, I Guess

[ThirdGeneration]

Bishop- We agree women can do some jobs better, but laundry is pretty genderless! Your nephew just lacked experience.

That was a funny story though!! :yeah:

[servant]

I know how to install toilet paper correctly, and I'm proud of it! Anybody got a problem with that???

Serv :)

[foreverblessed]

Well Bishop,
Most everything goes over my head....swoosh as the hand makes an airplane motion over my head.......I am used to it, ...... I have that look of "the doe caught in the headlights " My family quit telling me jokes long time ago, unless they are willing to explain it to me, they just don't bother anymore. :)

BTW, exactly how are you related to Cami and Clint, and Shelly and Keith? Are you Cami and Keith's uncle? Just curious.

[Gideon]

:D Bishop 1 that was funny TyeDye....

[bishop1]

Xerf;
Where Art Thou

ThirdGeneration;
Laundry Is NOT Genderless. I fully believe that women do it better and we men feel that it should stay that way.


Servant;
Toilet paper is always installed with the paper coming out from the top. {didn't your daddy teach you that?}


foreverblest;
I AM HE OF WHOM THOU SPEAKETH.
My sister is cursed with a curse that cannot be cured.
You can take any photo of her first born son {Piesta}
and place it by a similar photo of me and the only difference
that you can see is the clothing. For example baby photos / side by side - toddler photos , - graduation photos, etc. I tell her if you want to know just what he will look like in 30 years then look at me.

[servant]

bishop,
My goodness, do I need to start a "household chores for dummies" thread? TP is dispensed from underneath the roll!!!

Serv :)

[foreverblessed]

Bishop,
My sisters are closer to Piesta's age. I have seen him, but don't know him personally. The other's I know pretty well. I grew up running around on the Indiana camp ground with Lee Davenport also. Yea, I know something is wrong with me, I never got to know all those Davenport girls, although I have met them at PK retreats and stuff.

So Sis. Mendenhall is cursed with a carbon copy of you, huh? Don't you just love genetics? First thing I said when my middle daughter was born was, "God is making sure I have my Mother with me for life, she looks just like her!" I even named my daughter - Jacqueline after her. She acts just like my Mother also.

God bless,

[BroDane]

Brothers and Sisters,

I for one prefer to be in a situation wher there is NO gossip, Slander, anger, Hatred and some stuff that seems to be in the people who visit the GNC..

I am there now..In Jesus..at Norwich Tabernacle! We do NOT do the things listed here...

Not all people have this Love that we do here But,,we will work on em!!!!!!!!!!

[survivor4christ]

Amen, Bro. Dane.

There is enough of that stuff in the world.


Love, Sis. Wenona

[ddc101]

Amen Bro.Dane,
I am way down here in the South but the same spirit of unity is in our fellowship here.
Did I tell you all how one of the ladies seeing how heavy my load was came and moved in Hope House to help me care for my dad and girls? She also took over the secretarial duties of the church..
accounting etc.What a blessing to be so loved.sis.c

[Faithchild]

Let's hope she doesn't take over your husband, too! (Of course that would leave you more time for the important stuff! Like the GNC!)

[Oldpreach]

Why the contention so often? Lets lay off one another. The Spirit has said thru the Scripture that contention is not to be the custom (habit, consistant practice) of the Church.

Lets try to be a blessing to each other when things start to go like this !

[Faithchild]

Oldpreach, it's a discussion board. Some threads might make ya wanta cuss but all Bro. John allows you to do is discuss. There are threads where you CAN press your nose against the monitor's glass and chant The Lord's Prayer in unison, but not all of them. I enjoy teasing Ddc as much as "contending" for my views.

All right, here goes. "Our Father which Art in heaven, Hollow Ed be thy name . . ." (Who is Art? Hollow Ed? What about Acts 4:12?)

[Webmaster]

Watch it ART and ED, An AXE and Two 38's are allowed here...hehehehehehehehehe

[Webmaster]

:D

I just could not resist.....

[tufluv]

Wow, that was so-o GOOD! I love that, must take notes.
Could it be the spirit of XERF has infiltrated many here? I KNOW I'm infected...heheh! Hopefully it is something that 'spreads!', :D
Is 'catching!' ;)
Hmmm...Bro. FC is still a prime suspect, for his witt is legendary!
:bow:

Well, Serv....it really depends on what you considering proper toilet paper installation....

That's a :lame: excuse to not helps with laundry. I give you two thumbs down
:down: :down: for that only because I don't have more thumbs to give.

[bishop1]

Oh Yes
While we are still on the subject

* Another Life Lesson Well Learned -

My two sons have learned that
" you do NOT have to soak paper plates"
before you wash them !

[stmatthew]

What about those side winder toilet paper dispensers?? :D

[Thelordisone]

Amen 3rd,

I cant even turn the machine ON so I let the EXPERT(my wife) do it!!

God Bless!!

[bishop1]

stmatther;
' side winder '
That must have been developed for those wishey washey
Apostolics who
Can Not Take a Stand
Never make a decision
and don't have any personal convictions.

any way will do, and they probally take grape juice, juice mixture, kool-ade, grape soda, or water for communion also.

:realmad: Excuses, excuses....

So, what happens when the wife is unable to do so?? The house falls apart???

BTW, Third is all for the male species learning how to do laundry. It's Bishop who thinks women are experts on laundry.

[bishop1]

Sometime after we were married my lovely wife showed me

* The Broom;
I didn't know how to plug it in.

* The Mop;
I couldn't find the instruction booklet.

* The Refrigerator;
I had forgotten how to open the door.

* The Stove;
I felt that fire could be dangerous.

* The Clothes Hamper;
* I assured her that I would try to hit it from my La-Z-Boy

and the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on

I Am Only Trying To Make Her Feel Needed !

[truemessianic]

I do laundry. But, my Mom will sit there, and if I cannot do it quick enough, will do it herself. I cook, most of the time, do dishes, and wash clothes.
But, I Am A Man, And Proud Of It!!!:realmad:
My, I can't wait to find a good wife, and maybe take a week off of doing these chores by myself, though. I would enjoy sharing them with someone.:yeah:
But, as for women do some things better, not than me, though, except for having babies. I cannot do that too well.:laugh:

[Apostolic Kitty]

Truemessianic: Bro, your mom has trained you well...

[truemessianic]

I know, and I let her know that too. She is standing right here. She did this so I can take care of myself. My Mom believes that when you get married, it is still a 50/50 proposition. You help her, and she helps me!

[Apostolic Kitty]

Your mom is my kind of woman! Give her a hug from me...and you!

[truemessianic]

I know she is. She is special. But, pray for her. She needs salvation badly.

[Apostolic Kitty]

Will do, Bro. Will.

How do you like my new avatar?? Kinda ironic, isn't it?

[Xerf]

OK Bishop1 you need to get out of this thread and go do some serious theological dissection and ponder the depths of the various schools of thought on prophecy before you become a spot on the feast of seriousness!

:)

(I love it when they body slam me FIRST.......THEN they know they've got it coming!!!!!!!!........hehehe......now whose next on my "get back" list.......hmmmmmmmmm)

[John Atkinson]

The secret to getting out of "women's work" is to do such a lousy job of it that they won't let you touch the washing machine or vaccum cleaner again.

i.e. put the new blue jeans in with the whites, so that everything white is now sky blue.

Throw a handfull of change on the floor and vacuum it up, effectively destroyng the vacuum cleaner. (Hey what's the cost of a vacuum cleaner compared to escaping a lifetime of drudgery?)

"accidentaly" drop a plate or two while doing dishes, works better if it's that priceless china. Dropping a fork down the Garbage disposal while it is running works well as well.

Put so many peppers in what ever you cook that it nearly hospitalizes the entire family. That will cure you of having to cook ever again.

[foreverblessed]

Oh Bro. John,

What are we gonna with you??? ;) Poor Sister Atkinson! :)

[bishop1]

OH PRAIISEALELUAHH ! !

Xerf Lives

VERRY GOOD! Bishop1 !!

Even got ole XERF speechless, for once!! Heheh!

[them rollyup eyes gotta go, XERF!] graciously accept the fact that you were out one-linered! okay?

[Xerf]

Hey, I was taught NEVER to waste ammo on a dead goose!

SO there! (more where that came from)


:)

[tufluv]

OH, Bro.John;
just now read your post regarding "how to get out of doing anything"....have you been talking with my husband? did ya'll go the same school or what? This city IS close to Austin...those ideas/suggestions of yours-he has followed every one!
There's a conspiracy going round between guys or something.

Only kicker with him is, he can fix anything! So he'd be just making more work for himself in the long run, :D

A common sound at the Atkinson household:
"CRASH!!! Don't worry honey, it was nothing valuable. By the way, where's the superglue, just out of curiosity? And, where are my tools? The vacuum and garbage disposal needs some tweaking."

Talk about a dead goose;

Lets see now - - - - - -

Let me tell you a good UPCI story altho I have never held credentials with the UPCI, I try to make an annual appearance at their general conferences mainly to see relatives and acquaintences;

One year I was in NYC on business and while talking with my mother and explaining that I would not be able to attend that year, I was informed that they were leaving within the hour for the Phillidelphia Pennsylvinia Conference. My business held me over for a couple of more days.

My flight home from NYC developed some problems and we had to deplane in Philidelphia. We were given a chance to lay over there for a flight the next day at their expence. I seized the opportunity to visit the Conference compliments of Delta Airlines.

I was walking downtown Philly when I saw my sister , along with about 20 ministers wives, window shoping. She knew that I had been in NYC the week before and was probally at home by now.
Wanting to surprise her, quickly making my way through the ladies from behind, I said "Sister Mendenhall" .
I then picked up my 5'4" sister, twirling her around with my 6'2" 280# frame, and kissed her on both cheeks !
She was trying to hit me with both arms but couldn't get free of the bear hug.
"Put Me Down, You Idiot , They Don't Know That You Are My Brother" was her desperate reply.
I sweetly replied " If you don't want them to know then I'll never tell"
Without another word I Then Put Her Down and as I walked away I could hear her desperately trying to tell those hysterical women "He Is Really My Dumb Brother"
I stopped at the corner, turned around, and loudly said to about 20 Preachers' wives that were staring at me " Oh Yes, We're All Brothers and Sisters In The Lord" and I never looked back again as I walked away.

Talk about a dead goose huh
you tell me
:bow: :D :cool: :spin: :p

[ThirdGeneration]

Bishop!! You are bad!!! :eek:

[Faithchild]

Bishop, my Dad used to do the same thing to Sis. Jack Yonts, Sr., JoAnn, who is his first cousin. He would spot her at General Conference, walk over, grasp her in his arms and lay a big smooch on her! He'd release her, nod at Bro. Yonts, and walk away! Everyone knew that Dad was married to Mom but many didn't know the family connection to the Yonts!! He had fun with that for years!

[bishop1]

Faithchild;

He taught me well because I saw him do exactly that at the '66 Grand Rapids Conference.

[Faithchild]

You were there? I was just a kid. Our church choir from Bloomington, Illinois had been invited to sing so we all rode up on two church S.S. buses. I remember my Dad trying to talk Frank Munsey out of campaigning to be Foreign Missions Director! Frank had kids handing out handbills listing all the changes that would be made if they could just get rid of Oscar Vouga! Dad begged him to stop! But he didn't! I guess Vouga stayed in until T. F. Tenney got his job at the St. Louis General Conference in 1969.Ahh, the good old days! (Btw, my Mom and I are scheduled at Bro. Mendenhall's next week. Small world.)

[foreverblessed]

Bishop,

How old are those single son's? I have single never married sisters :) ;) I was going to email Cami, but thought I would just ask you first for their ages. :D

[bishop1]

Faithchild;
I was FM 1st assistant {55/58}. We started in a rented Legion hall, then moved to an old green house ,{that we got for $1.00}'at the corner of Black Oak and Kennedy Ave. We tore the ole house down for a parking lot while we were building along side.
I was living in their home when Joe David was born {pre Phillip & Sheila days}

I confess to printing the hand-bills and organizing the drive also at the '69 conference in St. Louis I am guilty of organizing the street march with banners and posters from Keil Auditorium thru downtown St Louis and back while Bro Vouga was preaching the Foreign Missions Message. He had wind of it and when he saw 2/3 of the people leaving "He said I'm stopping now, Why don't the rest of you go march too"

One time I was preaching for FM and he had me go with him to the Chicago airport to pick up Bro. Morgan. While driving back thru Chicago's southside We Ran Ouy Of Gas ! FM took a 2 gal. cas can out of the trunk, borrowed $5.00 from me and started on foot to get some gas. Bro. Morgan looked at us in the back seat and quitely said "This man wants to be my Foreign Missions Director , Why He can't even run his own car"

BUT YOU CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE HIM !

[Faithchild]

Funny! You are so right! Bro. Munsey has a likable quality about him. He used to argue with my dad, "Now Bro. Yohe, this is what I believe about it today! Don't hold this against me next week! My theology changes often!" Dad was just the opposite but they really l;iked each other. they were like natural brothers who couldn't agree on anything.

[bishop1]

Faithchild;
When have you seen F.M.?

He flew in from Bulgaria and was in California with Phil. Flew from there and met me in Charlotte, N.C. and we ministered to the Bulgerian students at the Western Bible College {Church of God}.

Georege and Georgetta Andrus a were baptized and attended our church. Georgetta's mother attended the Sofia, Bulgeria Assembly.

[ddc101]

Bro.Holland,
How long have you been around....my goodness....sis.c

[tufluv]

He's gotta be hitting 100! My such an exciting life! and all with JESUS, wish I could say that ... I sometimes just **sigh** thinking of the years that I could've been living an abundant life, how much more mature I'd be now. :shrug:
Can't turn back the clock...its tick,tick,tick-ing as we speak, in the morning, I'll surely have 1 more new gray hair! lol

In 1970 we started a mission Church and the only music I had was a tamborine !
* {before you ask, this was NOT before they invented music, We just did'nt have any one that was musicialy tallented}
Then a soldier got his discharge from the army , received the Holy Ghost, Got baptized in Jesus Name, and BOUGHT A TUBA ! He Only Knew Two Notes !
He Would A High Note and then he would hit a low note !
Thru-out every song you could hear the Tamberine and HONK-honk-HONK-honk-HONK-honk !
THANK GOD ! WE DID HAVE A JOYFUL NOISE !

[O2blikehim]

How old are you anyway ye ancient of days?

O Tis True
Later that year we obtained a B3 Hammond organ, a Grand piano, and a sound system.
People would come to church up to an hour early and gather around to play and sing. At the service start time they would leave the instruments and return to their seats. We would start each service by the reading of The Word, prayer, and thanksgiving - then we would sing {accompined only by the tamborine and tuba of course}. No one was permitted to play unless they were baptized in Jesus Name and Holy Ghost Filled.

Later that year we got a piano player, organist, 2 guitarests, drummer, and a saxaphonist ! I tryed to witness to my banker with absolutely no response and then I found out that he could play and even taught guitar. I then went to a pawn shop and purchased a guitar thinking that while takeing lessons from him at least I could get in a little of wittnessing.

We had an area fellowship meeting in our church and, before I could get around to taking my first guitar lesson, GOD filled that man with the Holy Ghost During the Service ! Bro. Carl Shurte said to me "Somebody had better do something about that man doing cartwheels down the aisle" . I looked and replied "Thats My Banker And He Is Receiving The HOLY GHOST Right Now "!

Before that service was over I stood up and put my guitar strap around my neck and told the conregation of the guitar delimma;
I stated that God had just filled him With The Holy Ghost before my first Guitar Lesson and that the Same God that filled him would help me play the guitar that night".

I then asked for everyone to pray. On one side of the church everybody started to pray BUT the other side started to laugh.
I quickly walked over to the side taht prayed and asked Bro.Roy {my banker} to show me where to put my fingers and when to change cords and I played and sang 'Take Up Thy Cross'.

When I finished that song I lifted my hands to Praise and Thank The Lord . When the conregation saw that the fingers of my left hand was bleeding even the umbelivers knew then that I had never played a guitar before !

Hey I'm Still a playing It !
:cool: :) ;) :p :cool: :bow:

Hey, that's the same way I learned to swim!

My brothers just threw me inot a dynamite hole and took my stick horse -- much later, after screaming and thrashing around in the water didn't seem to help, I finally was taken out by an old farmer that cussed me for polluting his pond -- and since my brothers took my stick horse -- I had to walk all the way home!

I fired up my trusty ole computer to see if I could look upon other fellow Apostolics and find some real spiritual words and thoughts of encouragment that could be applied toward today's fight with ole slewfoot.

The 'Good News Cafe Forum' is and can continue to be a strong outreach If We Don't Misuse It. We can have fun on it without being so carnal and posting something stupid. Sincere posts on a forum will get sincere answers

I have never been known to cram my convictions down someone else's throat and I don't expect others to cram theirs down mine. JESUS convicts us of various things in our daily walk with him. After a babe is weaned he learns to craw, walk ,and talk. As he grows then more is expected of him. I live my convictions and I Preach only the unadulterated Word Of GOD.

What is happening to the G.N.C.forum?
Good Things I Hope
and maybe even a more spiritual tone.

:beammeup: :bow:[I]

Yes, for those coming here looking for a Christian Apostolic Forum and see someone argueing so strongly against it and they're still here, it sure will make them wonder what has happened to GNC, which states it is an APOSTOLIC Discussion Forum... :furious:

[TLAM]

I have not violated ANY rules on this forum. The only thing I did was throw water on your sandcastle. I did not say anyone's doctrine was wrong. I pointed out the lack of exclusivity of one word. And an assumption that is made with the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
That's a far cry of of questioning

You comments are questioning admin's integrity. I feel admin needs to take a look at your comments and respond accordingly.


Yes, for those coming here looking for a Christian Apostolic Forum and see someone argueing so strongly against it and they're still here, it sure will make them wonder what has happened to GNC, which states it is an APOSTOLIC Discussion Forum... :furious:

I have not violated ANY rules on this forum. The only thing I did was throw water on your sandcastle. I did not say anyone's doctrine was wrong. I pointed out the lack of exclusivity of one word. And an assumption that is made with the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

TLam, I have been a very active member almost six years and I have never questioned the integrity of Bro. Rutledge, Bro. Adkinson nor Bro. Flemming in any way. I have always appreciated and respected them, and posted it often for the stance they have taken here on this forum to make it what it is. I am only a poster here and nothing else. I also enjoy this forum very much and have enjoyed the interaction of other Christian members that i've met here.

After all this is an Apostolic Discussion Forum, and as you seem to have a problem with us using the subjective word Apostolic to identify ourselves, I have wondered why you would even want to post here?

see? wasn't me... Doesn't mean she doesn't have a point though. She is just wondering why you are so against everything apostolic and on an "apostolic" message board. I don't think she was attacking the integrity of the admins at all, rather questioning your intentions.

I for one would hate if a sinner came to the board looking for answers and the predominating message wasn't apostolic. Because they would be confused, and it seems you don't like even the word "apostolic" so people are ready to defend that, at all costs, cause they don't want the wrong message to go out.

I said more than once everyone person who identifies themselves as apostolic have legitimate points. How in the name of common sense can that be taken as an attack on apostolics? The posters who are the most vocal are not getting it.

Actually, you are not getting it. It doesn't matter to us who else tries to define apostolic, or Pentecostal. We very strongly feel we have the correct definition, and when someone else comes to an apostolic forum and decides to tell us his view is correct, it could be construed as an attack.

Look, labels do not really concern me. Call yourself baptist if you want, just teach the gospel, the proper response to the gospel, and live the life according to what the apostles taught. I just prefer to be identified as Biblically apostolic. Christian is a term I use because we should be Christlike. Use it, it is valid. Just as valid as other labels.

But to wonder why some would construe it as an attack? Have you checked your presentation? TLAM, you need to.

My opinion about the word apostolic is that is subjective. The only thing a person has to do is show scripture which states apostolic is this and this and this, etc. What people do is pick out a few things the apostle did or taught and say they are apostolic. I don't recall saying a person's definition was wrong. My premise all along was the word was subjective. That played out beautifully on the webpage. I encourage people to prove the premise wrong. NO one could. I never tried give my opinion of apostolic. I pointed out what the biblical apostles did and ask if anyone was doing everything the apostles did. No affirmative on that one.

As far as my tactics, would it be better if I asked where in the Bible does it say what you have to do before you can call yourself apostolic? That would have ended the debate there.

No, that wouldn't have ended the debate. You just aren't getting it.

Folks, may I humbly suggest...er...I mean strongly indicate...we just drop this? It seems we have too much disagreement to agree agreeably. So, let's move on.
