"The battle is out there..." however some do try and bring it "in here".<br /><br />I see in comments the call for John repent. Do you think there is the possibility that he has nothing to repent of?<br /><br />I "use" his ministry as much as I can and am never disappointed. Great ministry we had with John at the Warwick 09 Easter convention(Aus).<br /><br />Lay your swords down fellas.<br /><br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-6903275172512874742007-11-02T17:04:00.000-07:002007-11-02T17:04:00.000-07:00Reading this sad saga to date of the conflict betw...Reading this sad saga to date of the conflict between all the parties, I see unmistakenly the hand of 'Old smutty face'! But it also reminded me of the story of Admiral Nelson coming on deck on an occasion to find his immediate subordinates engaged in a furious argument, to which he declared: "Gentlemen, the battle is out there" ---- pointing to the enemy fleet! Come on, all of you, demonstrate our saviour's grace and mercy and in repentance be restored to each other and to Him.BDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459496398218449011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-88332297810792828712007-06-11T17:33:00.000-07:002007-06-11T17:33:00.000-07:00I received it from someone who received it from a ...I received it from someone who received it from a recipient--it was apparently sent by Mackay to a list of his supporters.<BR/><BR/>CMI now has it, so it may show up on their site.<BR/><BR/>The message was an email from Mackay, that was a forward of this email from Ham, which was a forward of the AiG "spiritual attack" email, which was sent out by AiG-US chairman Don Landis to AiG-US supporters.Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-30812284537989829232007-06-11T16:57:00.000-07:002007-06-11T16:57:00.000-07:00Jim, can you please give a bit more detail as to h...Jim, can you please give a bit more detail as to how you obtained the attachment from Ken Ham on the copy of the "Spiritual Attack" letter sent to John MacKay?

If we presume the existance of the documents mean that Mackay never repented, it makes sense that CMI would be against Ham teaming up with Mackay again. Christians are supposed to forgive someone only after repentance. Looks like Ham is buddying up with Mackay both as a doorway into Australia and to rub Wieland's nose in the crap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-1164568803208582412006-11-26T12:20:00.000-07:002006-11-26T12:20:00.000-07:00Roger:I agree that an attempted coup by Mackay mak...Roger:<BR/><BR/>I agree that an attempted coup by Mackay makes no sense--I think the best explanation is not one which attributes rational reasons to Mackay, but that he really does suffer from the kind of delusions about demonic activity that have led to numerous cases of false accusation of Satanic ritual abuse, along the lines of my comparison to Lauren Stratford.<BR/><BR/>I believe the reason CMI brings it up is because of Mackay sent out the AiG-US email to his Australian supporters, and CMI is attacking the messenger--but also attacking Ham for his apparent willingness to reconcile with Mackay, knowing full well of his past. The wording of the email referenced by CMI suggests that Mackay sent it out after interacting with Ham. <A HREF="http://www.creationresearch.net/items%20subjects/Media.htm" REL="nofollow">Mackay's web site</A> also suggests continuing dialogue with Ham: "KEN HAM has also been in the UK and reported to John Mackay 'Some of the media who interviewed me also asked about you-the Telegraph thought we had planned a blitz through the country with you and us'." And apparently Mackay has visited AiG-US and been photographed with Ham.<BR/><BR/>As a result of this schism, CMI has to rebuild in the U.S. and AiG-US has to rebuild in Australia, and they are in competition in those locations. It appears that AiG-US is willing to entertain dealings with Mackay as a way to gaining supporters in Australia, and CMI is attacking them for that.Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.com
