I am not on the same level as Paul Washer. He is a great preacher and evangelist and a great role model. Paul said follow me as I follow Christ and so I follow Paul Washer as an example of someone whom can teach me.
What does Christmas mean to you?

However, the celebration of Christmas is a testimony to the world that the Lord has come, and the fact that the world celebrates that day, and reveres a Christian martyr (Nicholas of Myra), and focuses on alms, fellowship, mercy and forgiveness, is a testimony that the world has gotten the message, and it will stand as a witness against them on the day of judgment.
Just as when Christ returns, He won't be a babe in a manger, when the saints are judging the world and angels, ol' St. Nick ain't gonna be the jolly old elf of Christmas lore. -
I spoke with sincere listeners who had honest questions and who wanted to hear the message.
Who has questions?
He gave the answer to whom?
Who didn't replace the toliet paper roll?
Sarcasm is wasted on whom?
etc. -

What role does the Holy Spirit play in all of this? -

Keep up the good work and don't allow the bobbsey twins who follow you from thread to thread, mocking, calling into question, accusing you of being on a high horse &c. These are simply sowing discord and causing strife. -

Padre, not sure if the other "bobsy twin" is you or not. But I will gladly be considered paired with you from the one who bloviates so profusely.

Sowing discord? I like to think of it as harvesting the chaff. As long as he persists in bring unfounded accusations against preachers he does not know and elevates the writings of Comfort above the Word I will be there with the rest of the Bobbsey family. -

He has a valid point and is on the right track. And yes, I get it, you're not anywhere near done sowing discord, belittling, accusing, causing division. -

I contend that the vast majority of preachers proclaim the full Gospel from Genesis to Revelation and everything in between.
He called out his current pastor. He has declared his parent's pastor to be a hypocrite. What evidence does he have but his own opinion. What did Jesus say?
Matthew 18:16 NAS77
16 "But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.
Where are the other witnesses against "lots" and "many"? Where are the other witnesses against his own pastor? Where are the other witnesses against his parent's pastor?
There are none. That is discord.
