June,
We all have numerous flaws & Christians in Public life
Are in the spotlight while all the rest of us have the privilege
of animosity.
My point is, only Sinners need a Saviour, all else are
Excluded!.

A Christian Minister is to be an example to the flock.
Your examples of instances of "personal flaws" . . sin committed by the Godly men cited in your comment is not analogous to taking a seat in the EU for 40 years, an institution denounced by Ian Paisley himself as the very "seat of the Antichrist".
These men and women did not persist in, nor pursue a path of sin and rebellion.
Ian Paisley made a deliberate, conscious and calculated decision to pursue a lifetime career in politics which included his seat in the EU! We are talking about the very tenor of his life . . politics . . not a "personal flaw".

This is hypocrisy and gives every appearance of defection to Rome.

"Ian Paisley, Protestant Presbyterian Minister in Ireland, has exposed the Jesuit Order for many years as did Englishman Avro Manhattan. Both men have made invaluable contributions to our knowledge and understanding of the doctrines and deeds of that Society of Jesus now ruling the world. . .

Ian Paisley Never, Never exposes Dame of Malta Queen Elizabeth II as the greatest traitor to the Protestant British Crown, Protestant Anglican Church and Protestant English, Scottish and certain Irish peoples, she submitting to the diabolical direction of that present Antichrist in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI! Why not? Further, Paisley enters into a coalition government for Ireland with IRA Jesuit murderers Gerry Adams and Martin McGinnis in 2007. Why? Your Editor believes that Ian Paisley is now compromised, now doing the political work for the Order and is thus a Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor!"

Have you ever wondered how Ian Paisley, a professing Christian and Christian Minister could denounce the European Union as the very seat of “the Antichrist“, but in 1979, take his seat in their assembly until 2004 when he retired? ?

I am a former R.C. converted to Christ, by God's grace, by the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit.
When I became convicted through God's Word that Roman Catholicism was the very seat of the Antichrist, I immediately "departed out of her" per the Lord's express command as found in Rev. 18:4:

You're probably wondering why I have brought James White into the discussion. Simply because he is a featured Speaker at S.A.who has been especially vocal in his criticism of Harold Camping.

How can one who has been exposed by his colleagues / credible critics as theologically unsound, presume to point out the doctrinal errors of others when he himself endorses and promotes so-called modern versions of God's Word that advance those same heresies as cited in prior comments.
Those who undermine God's Word serve Satan, who from the beginning said . . "Yea, hath God said." (Gen. 3:1)

To their credit, S.A.provides a pulpit for the few who faithfully preach sound doctrine . . "the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ",(1 Tim. 6:3) of which Pastor Michael Pickett is one.
He is a scholar in the true sense of the word, taught of His God, and as such, eminently qualified to proclaim His unchanging Truth through the "foolishness of preaching"(1 Cor. 1:18-21)to the "edifying of the body of Christ."(Eph. 4:11-12)

Many today are "handling the word of God deceitfully"
And what of James White? ? (II Cor. 4:2)(1 John 4:1)

Godhead or Deity - Is James White Right? By: Will Kinney

Excerpt:
�Mr. White also shows his hypocrisy when he says the KJB translates three "completely" different words as Godhead. The NASB, for whom he now works, has two very different words translated as deity - daimonion in Acts 17:18 and theotes in Colossians 2:9 - and another five very different words translated as Divine. In Acts 17:29 theios is translated as "divine nature", in Romans 1:20 theiotes is "divine nature", in Romans 11:4 kreematismos is translated as "divine response", in 2 Corinthians thew is translated as "divinely", and in Hebrews 9:1 latreia is translated as "divine service".
The word Godhead in orthodox Christian theology clearly implies the Trinity.�

And others like James White, who professes to be a Christian Apologist, a featured Speaker at SA, whom many regard as a "biblical scholar", is found in truth to be “wresting the Scriptures� by undermining the veracity of God's Word as found in the King James Bible, who has wrought confusion in the professing Church of Jesus Christ.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
This verse clearly sets forth the Biblical doctrine of the Trinity, as it is found above in the Authorized Version of Scripture.

Most modern translations so mutilate this verse that there is no longer any reference to the Trinity to be found within it at all.

The New American Standard Version (NASV), The New International Version (NIV), and The Living Bible (LB) all remove any reference to either the Father, or the Word (Jesus Christ) from this verse.

Colossians 2:8-9
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, aftr the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of THE GODHEAD bodily."

"James White, a well known King James Bible critic, ignorantly harangues against the use of the word Godhead in the KJB. In his book, The King James Only Controversy, when discussing Colossians 2:9 Mr. White says on page 204: "Yet, the KJV rendering of this verse is probably the least clear of almost all currently available translations. How does one explain what "Godhead" means? Who really uses this term any longer? And what about the fact that the KJV uses "godhead" in other places when it is translating a completely different Greek term?"

"Reader, do you believe that men like yourself have priestly power? Do you think that they can regenerate infants by sprinkling them, and turn bread and wine into the very body and blood of Jesus Christ? Do you think that a bishop can bestow the Holy Ghost, and that a parish clergyman can forgive sins ? If so . . . you are the victim of crafty deceivers. Your soul will be their prey in life and in death. They cajole you with soft words, fine vestments, loud pretensions, and cunning smiles, but they will conduct you down to the chambers of death, and lead you to the gates of hell. Silly goose, may grace make thee wise!

Jesus Christ is the true Priest who can forgive all your sins; go to him at once, without the intervention of these pretenders. Make confession to him! Seek absolution from him! The Holy Ghost alone can cause you to be born again, and the grace of God alone can bring you to glory."

If you would be made wise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ, read God's Word .. the Bible! (II Tim. 3:15)

"Flocks of dead birds in nations around the world, along with numerous dead fish, have caught the attention of international news media.

Scientists, bloggers and others are trying to make sense of these mysterious phenomena, with some calling it the “aflockalypse,� a play on the word apocalypse.
The widespread interest began after 4,000-5,000 red-winged blackbirds were found dead in Beebe, Arkansas.

Other recent mass animal deaths include:
* 200 American coots in Big Cypress Creek, Texas.

Those who sincerely wish to “follow on to know the Lord� and grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, and be “built up in their most holy faith� will be greatly blessed by this man of God's preaching / teaching ministry. His preaching is marked by sound doctrine and the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

June, a sinner by birth; a R.C. by tradition; a CHRISTIAN by God's grace by virtue of the new birth

God's Word concerning the false church of ROME:

Revelation 18:9-13
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

The vital question for each of us is. .
are we "in Christ"? Christ is the "one thing needful"! (Luke 10:42)

For as it is written:

Rev. 14:13
". . . Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth . . . "

II Tim. 4:8
"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

Jer. 33:16
"In those days shall Judah be saved. and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD, our righteousness."

JEHOVAH TSIDKENU is "all things to me"!
