David: " I don't wast time looking up stuff like
that" Did you ever say anything similar to this on the papers you submitted
during your course of study in biology? Blessings, Lance

No, I am not
admitting that. You can go look for them if you want. I knew
the man, so I don't waste time looking up stuff like that.
That would be like me trying to look up third party support for
Jesus actually existing and dying for the sins of the world. What a
waste of time!
I can go look them up
???!!!! No place to look, is there David. I am told to test
the spirits to see whether they are of God. My desire to
verify the extraordinary claims of HH is certainly not out of line with
scriptural injunction. I would expect Billy Graham to reference
him somewhere. I would think Mordecai Ham would mention his
name. I would expect to find some reference in Catholic
literature. His PhD -- is it wrong for me to question these
claims? (Keep in mind that I do not care where he earned the PhD -- just
that he did as claimed.) An evangelist who converted 40,000 to 70,000
Jews should have a footnote somewhere in American historical annuals, to say
the least. Thousands of hippies? What street preacher has ever had
such success??? If it all be truth - only HH.
And no mention of him anywhere. The historical record does
not omit someone who was quietly successful at such a level of
accomplishment. Why is it that he is the only HIGHLY successful street
preacher without historical footnote? And why am I the bad guy for
putting these questions to you expecting a real answer?

I never meant to
convey that internet resources are of no account, but you certainly
should not read one or two websites and then declare that the man was a
fraud! You need to check out what you read and consider the bias of
their presentation.
Here we go with that circular
logic of yours. In this paragraph you tell me to "check out" what
I read. In the former paragraph, you reducible that very process (That
would be like looking up third party support for Jesus
.....")
Be swift to hear and slow to speak.
Easy for you to say. David, something
is wrong with this HH mythology. Maybe nothing wrong with
the man but the myth seems to be something very different.
Perhaps Lindsey is not the fraud in all this? But something is
soarly wrong with the story. Who are his
disciples? Elsman and those who are influenced by him
-- who else?
