Raul,
I have been sitting back reading all this back and forth business since it has begun. I'm not trying to judge you or to be mean to you, but just stop! You are making yourself look like a real JERK! I have personally known PASTOR Steve for quite a few years now and am confident in saying that the "issues" you claim to have, are your own. Leave these people alone. Leave Steve alone. Life is full of enough hardships without all this crap from people who are supposed to be your friends! Keep this up and you'll be the one who finds yourself alone, not Steve. People love Steve. People believe in Steve. They always have, and they always will, no matter what!
Read this:
"Remind people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men." (Titus 3:1-2)
"But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned." (Titus 3:9-11)
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Matthew 7:1)
Steve is one of the very few people who walks with the level of integrity that he does. For that reason alone, your complaints and back biting will fall on deaf ears. You are wasting your time! Move on and leave Steve and the people at PU alone!
Be wary about misrepresenting God by claiming to be a "prophet" in His name. Don't set yourself up as a false prophet. Your words that you claim are "prophecies" aren't even in God's character, and God CAN'T go against His own nature!
Please go and talk to YOUR OWN PASTOR about YOUR OWN ISSUES so you can be healed and whole and so you can start flowing in the things that God has called YOU to do. Pastor Steve, Pastor Jeff, and now myself, have asked you to go and talk to Pastor Dan. Don't you think it's time you listened?We can't all be wrong Raul. You're the common demoninator in this equation. Stop instigating trouble!
