Yes... Winter is right in his protest that there's a double standard in
effect. And even if some do not care for his methods, we need every part of
the body. Our own body is made up of many different parts. Some of which
are not so glorious. But Christ chose the body to use as a example as to
what the church is. It's the body of Christ, and I'm sure that it's got
some members in it also that are not so glory full. But each part of the
body does it's job. I've seen Winter reach some that others could not
reach. We have a man in our own church that changed his life when someone
made him mad by telling him that he was going to bust hell wide open. (He
was a Presbyterian minister at the time) But it made him mad enough to
think about what he had been told, and he was baptized in Jesus name, and
received the Holy Ghost. Sometimes we are bad about beating around the
bush, and the bush never knows that it's been beat.
