If I am not mistaken GGWO professes to be a ministry of reconciliation,
and GGWO professes that God [i.e. Yahweh] is a God of unconditional love.
Assuming that GGWO is indeed a ministry of reconciliation,
and that the God that they honor in their GGWO services
is a God of unconditional love,
how is it possible that so many professing Christians,
who post on this DiscussGGWO forum,
have aught against GGWO?
How is it possible that this situation has not been resolved,
after so many years?
Is it GGWO that is required by scripture
to make an attempt at reconcilliation with we who post on DiscussGGWO,
and have aught against GGWO?
OR
Are we who post on this forum
required by scripture to make an attempt to reconciliate with GGWO,
because we have aught against GGWO,
without a cause?
The possibility at least exists that we may have aught against GGWO,
WITHOUT A CAUSE.
[See Matthew 5:22 near the bottom of this post]
_________________________________________________________________
Certainly Matt 5:23-26 seems to indicate
that they who are aware that their brother has aught against them,
are required to take the first step toward reconciliation
Matt 5:23-26 in the KJV reads:
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar,
and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar,
and go thy way;
first be reconciled to thy brother,
and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him;
lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge,
and the judge deliver thee to the officer,
and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence,
till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Of course Matthew 5:22 in the KJV says:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause
shall be in danger of the judgment:
and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca,
shall be in danger of the council:
but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
DOES ANY ONE WHO POSTS ON THIS DISCUSSGGWO FORUM,
BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS HAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION?
ARE THERE ANY PEACEMAKERS HERE"?
HAS LAIRD BEAN BEEN LED HERE BY JESUS CHRIST TO BE A PEACEMAKER?

At the end of my first post I asked the question:

Yesterday, Laird Bean explained, to a small degree. what he is trying to accomplish here.

As to what I am trying to accomplish here,
my only hope is that I can reason with new people who happen upon the garbage they find here
and give them the balance they need to take these things to the scriptures
and find out what is the proper Biblical ethics regarding the handling of the Body of Christ.
And that applies to GG or any other born-again ministry.
Enough said today.

Of course, if Jesus Christ actually wants to use Laird Bean as a peacemaker,
what we observe today may only be a work in progress.
Jesus Christ may not be finished with Laird Bean yet.
However, Laird Bean may not choose to be a peacemaker,
but he does seem to have the credentials,
he has been part of Pastor Carl Stevens' ministry since 1974!
