Interesting but what is the revelance, are they trying to crucify another Christian? Or expose anther apostate?

I appreciate the honesty of bigthirsty but what are we looking for?

Should we fault the man for sucess? Maybe we should critisize him for being to prosperous. Maybe he should give more. I really dont know about this man.

That is your assumption. a Christian watchdog group has been investigating him.

Actually it isn't my opinion. Your title states he is under investigation. He isn't under investigation. A news outlet is conducting an investigation.. but he isn't "under" investigation.

Don't be mad cause you are wrong..

So fundy if I say I'm researching a particular aspect of society (lets say carnival workers)..

would that mean they are "under investigation"?

Just as an fyi.. I've also done research on how crazy some extremist Christian groups are. Does that mean my research now groups them in the "under investitation" tag?

You sir.. are now "under investigation"

I might add that to my business card..

Bigthirsty
By reading this card you are "under investigation"

I clicked on somebody's profile in CD.. they are now "under investigation"

Even if I said, being investigated you would still scream bloody murder.

LOL.......I did not realize only law enforcement can do investigations. He IS under investigation.

dictionary meaning; 1.the act or process of investigating or the condition of being investigated.2.a searching inquiry for ascertaining facts; detailed or careful examination.

The Fellowship Church is one of the two churches I've been going to, the other being just a few miles to its east (Irving Bible Church). I liked Ed Young and his style/points. Not anymore, after watching his "clarification", which I watched before watching the clip on News8 (OP). It is clear he is misleading his people, by asking them to look for trees and miss the forest. He didn't invalidate any of the charges that have been mounted against him.

Chalk him up as yet another "real Christian", the kind that have taken over the religion and "faux Christians" like myself are disgusted with.

I liked the way he preached, and the audience appeared to be in my age group (20s and 30s) as well. Contemporary, and used to be a huge congregation.
