like some people are sooo living in the past not having moved on at all. When I first heard about the famous "branch" interpretation about Berg, I was on the road with a brother who was being very careful in delivering it. I was amazed but didn't reject it right then, what did I know? But when Kohoutek came, it became obvious to me that he was not as advertised. I had learned a little bit.

Something else I did after my "branch" was trying to pinpoint its original conception but I found a stonewall. All I know, or remember, is that somebody found several verses in the Bible to support that notion. It was several years later when I found in a book that those prophecies were really about Jesus and somebody had approppiated and used it to mean Berg. Talk about the darkness disguising itself as light.

About your specific question, I was talking about Joel and his grand castle of weird references. Referencing things together and logically doesn't make them true. What brings light and life is the Spirit, God's Spirit, not logic, and God's Spirit says that Berg's light was darkness.

I am not sure if this post is pertinent in journeys but it may be if we are going to discuss Family doctrine. That is not my idea of fun but it may serve to expose them as anti-love, anti-family and most of all as anti-Christian.
