Justin Peters and Steve LeBlanc on the Robert Morris Story: A Few Thoughts on the Matter

Justin Peters interviewed his friend Pastor Steve LeBlanc on the Robert Morris scandal, and then brought Steve back to apologize to James Robison for saying that he was there when Robert Morris met with Cindy Clemishire's father. This prompted a couple of observations on my part.

I'm Rod Saunders, founder of Jew and Greek. I’m a musician, web developer, and a student of philosophy and economics. I recently published my first book on Amazon entitled Defending the Faith: Word of Faith Apologetics. It’s a response to the numerous charges against and misrepresentations of the Word of Faith movement and theology. I also have a CD of original music on CD Baby entitled Gates of Pearl. “Jew and Greek” is a good name because the two civilizations that influenced Western civilization the most were those of the Judeo-Christian and Greek worlds. From the Jews we received our values and a monotheistic theology, and from the Greeks we got philosophy which brought us science, sports, the arts, democracy, and economics. As a result I discuss all of the above in this blog and in my videos.

Steve is a good guy because he agrees with Justin! 😊

The more I learn about Cessationism the more I find it difficult to understand how anyone believes it. God bless you.

[garyleuba]

I believe Justin means that someone is one of “the good guys” if they are a Calvinist.

All I know is if I watch another “ expose this pastor because I have found the truth and everybody else is damned” I’ll explode! YouTube isn’t a great place to find teachers as a new believer. Everybody exposes everyone else. That’s why I can’t watch peters and MacArthur, well, gee whiz. Somehow he missed the joy and hope of the Lord. We know Morris sinned we don’t need 10, 000 videos about it

[kentberdahl]

A Calvinist charismatic of many years, I greatly appreciate your balanced perspective and analysis.

I’m waiting for Justin Peter’s video on Steve Lawson…

[ChristianityExplained]

I saw what you did! Nice job using Justin as a prop. Yes, we do need to learn how to exercise grace towards others; especially with the ones that we don't agree with.

[wenhari]

I pray that I never get so sold out to a philosophy and an anti-others agenda that I become blind to my cognitive inconsistency-or that I start to believe the lies I tell myself.
I don’t know anymore if Justin et al can help themselves but be logically inconsistent

[marklucero]

This is about being gracious. Yes. That's very much a 'do unto others as you would that they do to you'
Justin is gracious with the 'good ones' Those who agree with him. Not the ones who challenge him. Rod challenges Justin too much to be called 'one of the good ones'

[coffeeandword]

Giving someone the benefit of the doubt. That's a novel idea these days.

keep up the good work my beloved brother! blessings

[BrotherJohnElving]

I was very unimpressed with Steve Leblanc update video. They should have take down the original video on Justin channel.

[phillipnoone]

Thanks for being understanding and trying to find the good in those you disagree with

“If Cindy says James (Robison) wasn’t there he wasn’t there”…unless JR caved to CC’s demands and paid her off on the condition that CC sign an NDA. That’s just theoretically speculating based on reading tea leaves and consulting chicken entrails.

Wow!!! Justin Peters and Steve LeBlanc corrected that bit of actionable slander quicker than a baptist at a beer joint.

[susanthroop]

I like this one Rod. A bit of a little lesson...nice!

[emekajohn-bzrf]

lol, always nice to see JP get rained on. The problem with being super critical is that all your criticism can be turned right back at you.

[angelawindom]

I agree we do make mistakes and remember differently or differently than others...But, I do think that Justin really does try to help people realize false teachers and learn to have more discernment..which that is also a gift that can be given to you as well. I have told him he can sometimes be more harsh than I would be..like saying someone's going to hell..yes I've said that too but not because someone gets something wrong out of the bible. They could have just spoken wrong..but most of the time...Justin's right..they just aren't teaching the Word of God!

[mick]

Excellent mate
Reminds me when people start a conversation with “ honestly speaking… “
I know it’s not honest

[pembertonjones]

I saw the JP video when it first aired and from how the guest described their relationship, it didn't sound like he was a "friend" of Pastor Morris. More of a coworker or acquaintance. But "friend" was listed first in the video's title.

I appreciate pointing out false doctrine but it seems like it’s a bit much with some of these ministries. They end up not even preaching Christ but just pointing out others fault all the time. It’s just a bunch of foolish arguments like the Bible talks about. Somethings you just need to let it go and it’s not an extremely important doctrine.
