		<description>Well Melvin...The only reason people from the FBCG Network visit your site is because you have fbcglenarden.com routed to eventually get to this site.  I have accidentally typed .com looking for the churches website and come across this crap of a website...have a nice day...and by the way Melvin...YOU ARE THE PIMP, YOU JUST AIN'T GOT NO PULPIT...

&lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt; Well of course that's the only reason people from FBCG(otK) come to the site.  That's why I made FBCGlenarden.com one of the routers.  I'm fully aware that few of the people at FBCG(otK) think deeply enough to visit the site on purpose.   For instance, your knee-jerk reaction in saying that I am simply a pimp without a pulpit is a perfect example of that.  How, exactly, do I pimp the people who visit here?  John K. Jenkins has gotten literally millions of hard earned dollars out of you people.  Your hard work, like the prostitute's hard work, has enabled John K. Jenkins to live a very wealthy lifestyle.  Let's see - getting rich at the hos' expense - trying to warn the hos about their pimp.  Let's see, which is the the pimp?  Which one more closely matches Matthew 10:24 - 28? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt; </description>

		<description>I really feel that this site is quite comical. This is my first time reading it and it is funny to me that people who know nothing of the man wish to "JUDGE" his character. He is up front with his mistakes in the past and even his current flaws and if you were to attend the church regularly, you would know this. To question his ministry after all he has done for his community along with what he involves himself in is ridiculous to me. I really don't understand your purpose with this site  &lt;strong&gt;(MN: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pulpit-pimps.org/about-this-site" rel="nofollow"&gt;Read right here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;) , as I said this is my first time visiting the site and will more than likely be my last. 

I would like to see your response to my question.  &lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;But if this your last time visiting the site, how will you be able to see my response? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt; But I can't say nor express how much First Baptist Church of Glenarden has done for my life and also my family's life. I would be writing forever. But as a young college student, in which Pastor Jenkins and the church has helped to pay for, I will take up for my pastor. It is something I feel that Obama should have done for his, especially after he attended his church for about 20 years.  &lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Unfortunately, paying for schooling for you is not one of the activities a pastor is called to do.  Does expound the word accurately?  Not usually.  Does he feed the flock rather than his own ego?  Not usually.  Does he protect the sheep from wolves like Charles Ellis, T. Dexter Jakes and others?  No.  Instead, he brings them into the church to feast on the sheeple. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;

I just wanted to know if you feel that this is your calling by God, to point out false prophets on an internet site which does not get much publicity to begin with in the first place? I heard about it throuh a girl who I believe knows your son but otherwise I would have never came across it.&lt;strong&gt; (MN:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Which son? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt; I think I can speak for everyone when I say that some pastors come off as suspicious in what their doctrine and how they handle the money. &lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Why in the world do you think you can speak for everyone?  You certainly can't speak for me.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt; Yet they are still bringing souls to Christ, and if you are a Christian, then you should know that you are turning people away. 

This site questioning bishops and pastors only gives people a false pretense of what christianity is all about and instead of trying to turn people away from these so-called "Pulpit-Pimps", why don't you try getting a license to preach? Why don't you build a congregation through whatever doctrine you believe to be right by God? And if you are doing the right thing, then God will deliver his people.  &lt;strong&gt;(MN: &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Not everyone is a preacher.  Besides, I'm not sure why you think no one reads the site.  Didin't you see the recent posting from someone who claims to the a child of Donnie Hilliard up in New Jersey?&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;

Again I am not judging you as this site does these pastors and bishops. I am just questioning your motives, your purpose, and your actions. &lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Then you ARE judging.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt; I actually agree with you that there might be some shady ministers out there, but it is not my place to judge them.  &lt;strong&gt;(MN: &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;It &lt;strong&gt;IS &lt;/strong&gt;your place to judge them.  If not you, then who?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt; I'll let God be the judge, and their followers if in their word, should be able to see for themselves. &lt;strong&gt;(MN:  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's your job to judge.  And if you were better traiined by your pastor you would know that.  Instead, he has trained you so badly that he can do anything without fear of being called to account by you.  Instead, you will continue to give your money to him, paying no attention to what he does with it, and expect God to keep tabs on it. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;

In all I feel that Pastor John K Jenkins is a wonderful minister and that he should not be acknowledged as a Pulpit-Pimp.&lt;strong&gt; (MN: &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Lots of people FEEL lots of things.  The prostitute FEELS her pimp is looking out for her.  The abused child FEELS his abuser is all he has.  Never mind what you feel  What does the Bible say.  Oh wait - you probably don't know what the Bible says.  After all, that would require study on your own.  And that's not some John K. Jenkins really encourages.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;) &lt;/strong&gt;

The people that attend First Baptist Church of Glenarden attend under their own will.&lt;strong&gt; (MN: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; So is the prostitute.  But until someone convinces her it worth leaving, she stays.  But you still try to talk to her, to make sure she knows why she should leave.  Same with the 'hos at FBCG(otK). &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt; 

So if you feel that people are being tricked or exploited then why don't you start a church where they won't? Not on the internet bashing ministers which does not lead by example, especially since not everyone has the internet and if so this site is not known to be very popular. But by humbly and respectfully starting your own ministry. If you lead correctly then the right people will follow. &lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt; The "right" people?  Who are the right people?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Now Derrick. Please don't try and stand up for ya' boy when you can't even give me a simple interpretation of Zech 14 (the whole thing D) w/o wiggling out of it into other passages that simply dont make any sense. Also, the "sacrifice thing" that you mentioned, ummm, what's the problem D? If the Bible says that sacrifices are gonna be offered in the kingdom (Ezek. 43:18-27 and other prophetic passages) by Israel then that's what the text means! What guys like you, Don, Msamu do is annihilate Israel from passages that clearly teach that God has made an unconditional covenant with them and WILL RESTORE them in their own land in safety and security (Ezek. 39:25-29) and transfer all of the events to 70AD. Btw Derrick, I warned you before about isolating and eisegeting passages out of context and here we go again. Derrick, let me ask you a question (and please think this through before you answer). Are you saying that Matt. 5:17 deals with Jesus fulfilling EVERYTHING in 70AD? If He did (and He didn't) then shouldn't we be in our glorified bodies and the Earth be restored to its new state as well? I really want you to answer my questions Derrick since in fairness I answered yours (by letting scripture interpret scripture). Oh yeah, Jesus fulfilled everything in Matt 5:17 by being perfectly obedient during His earthly minsistry thus fulfilling the law which no one else did before of after His life. And lastly, Peter didnt speak of a spiritualization of 2 Pt 3 as you claim which I cant understand why you spiritualize literal passages and literalize spiritual passages? Opon what textual support do you make these erroneous claims?</description>

		<description>Andy B, I copied and pasted the Catholic Catechism to illustrate that even the Catholic Church can define basic biblical doctrine, but what does scripture say in 1Cor 2:14? Does the Catholic Church believe in the Christ Of the bible? the answer is no, but they have the essentials don't they? It's also interesting that your the only one that picked up on it, good for you. Question, does a Catechism really provide the believer with  "concise biblical response to common questions; the essential doctrines" yes, and no; the bible says " a little leaven corrupts the whole lump, along with it's so-called  essentials their's the leaven (ie. baby baptism).  How can the believer avoid traps that can entangle them? Since men have a propensity to be slothful (let someone else do the studying) arming oneself with none other then the whole word of God is not only wise but it's safe. Non biblical aids are most helpful but if you want "essentials"  don't look for road of least resistance, exercise the God's Holy Spirit in you and mine the Word of God putting your back into it, it's treasures are well worth the effort.

&lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;AMDM, I'm really not understanding why you keep trying to make me say more about the catechism than I said.  I fact, specifically, I said:  "Now, on the other side, if I have any problem with the Presbyterians, it’s the fact that they may rely a little too much on the catechism."   Defining basic doctrine is the purpose of a catechism.  Obviously you don't want to use a catechism that differes drastically from your position.  Scientology has a catechism.  Catholocism has catechism.  The Unity School of Christianit has a catechism.  Surely you understand that I am not saying pick a catechism and work with it.  Heck, push come to shove, you can create your OWN catechism.  The bottom line is that it is far more effective to TEACH YOUR CHILDREN [which I believe was the initial reason this even showed up] using discrete doctrinal knowledge.  But I can guarantee you someone is going to disagree with whatever you put in your catechism.&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>amdm, a little advice. If you're going to turn-up your nose at the Westminster Catechism because it's "not in the Bible", I wouldn't be so quick to copy and paste from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (including scripture references) were I you. Something about pots and kettles comes to mind.</description>

		<description>Amdm, no one is claiming the Westminster is inspired. In fact,the only person who made that rather inane statement was you in response to nothing which suggested as much.

It is simply a guide through Scripture in a format which allows a structured method of imparting elementary Biblical truth. Is it perfect?? Nope..........because it's not inspired. Is it useful?? Yup. So, what's your problem??</description>

		<description>It is somewhat unfortunate that in the pursuit of perfection and coming to a better understanding of God and what he expects of me, and also in attempting to edify those blinded from the truth, that on this site there are those who would want what is normally intelligent discourse and exchanges based on logic, proper study of the Word of God along with a mature approach to plummet into the morass of gossip, sensationalism and soap operatic (if there is such an expression) behaviour.

The frightening thing is that it appears to be coming from the recent contributors from FBCG. Frightening because it may be indicative of the type of behaviour which occurs at the church. Please put your egos and feelings secondary and try to understand what takes place on this site, try to separate truth from falsehood, fact from fiction and God's word from man's utterances.

		<description>1. What is the chief end of man? 
To glorified God Rev 4:11
2. What is God?
God, "HE WHO IS "God is love", as the apostle John teaches. 1 John 4:16
3. What do the Scriptures principally teach?
The inspired books teach the truth. " Micah 6:8. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
4. How many persons are there in the Godhead?
When we pray to the Father, we adore and glorify him together with the Son and the Holy Sp Matthew 28:19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: irit.
5. What special act of providence did God exercise towards man in the estate wherein he was created? 
. For man is created in the image and likeness of God who is himself love. Since God created him man and woman, their mutual love becomes an image of the absolute and unfailing love with which God loves man' Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it.'" Gen 2:16
6. What is sin? 
Sin is an offense against God: " 1John 3:4
 7. Did all of mankind fall in Adam’s first transgression?
 The whole human race is in Adam "as one body of one man”. By this "unity of the human race" all men are implicated in Adam's sin, as all are implicated in Christ's justice. 
Rom 5:12-22
8. How did Christ, being the Son of God, becomes man?
But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.'  2Cor 5:21

Not all believers are ignorant of scripture sir.  

the Westminster Catechism is not inspired,  please note the baptism of baby's can you find a scripture verse to support it's teaching.

		<description>Janae,

There was a question that was asked of you earlier by solideogloriafella. Remember?

"Janae,
Would you be able to explain, how you effectively communicate the gospel?"

I understand if you don't want to answer it, but at least acknowledge it before you request to hear what someone else said. You were also wisely, biblically and needfully addressed by Cheryl concerning some statements you made. Let's revisit that just in case you forgot:

"Janae-

I would like to bring your attention to II Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

If you feel that someone has misspoken and you want to rebuke, correct, or train - use scripture. We want to be careful that we are not focusing on the teaching of a man, but on the teaching of the Word. I respect my pastor as well as you respect yours, BUT my pastor has told the flock to test everything he says with scripture. “1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” I John 4:1. 

When a pastor sets himself up as “God’s mouthpiece” and you are not question him that is NOT in line with scripture. 

Please consider this about a virtuous woman:

“She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” Proverbs 31:26"

Would you care to respond to these comments first? This reminds me of when I tell my kids to make sure they finish one box of cereal before they open up another one...</description>

		<description>Saiko Don is looking for someone to again debate him, since you think Don's exegesis is way off the opportunityis open for you to debate on the Gianni Hays radio show, The debate will be heard on over 500 radio stations so you'll have the opportunity to expose Don's error. It's time for you Mr. Woods either Stand Up or return to your Sit Down Ministry, (that's of course if you can get permission from your wife).  Please let me know I'll set it up ASAP 

By the way Mel I don't see an answer to my question, you can answer it on my site so as not to lead this site away from it's purpose.</description>

		<description>Ann, I'm 17, My parents, who are avid Pentecostals, know they will never get me to worship with them on the Lord's Day because the preacher there preaches a bunch of garbage, even if he is my own Father! "Look at me, I can get my man to worship with me". Mel, edit this out, if it's rude [and I apologise in advance] but if your man is made to worship by you, he's a wimp with no backbone!</description>

Mel did his best, but it's best that he stick to the pimps. Btw the animal sacrifice in this millennial thing this is distorted please tell me that you guys really don't believe in this. Maybe you guys do believe in this, because there is nothing said about Matthew 5:17 if I heard
right it never got a answer on it. Maybe                   Big Mel can explain himself over here because sure
didn't explain himself over there. Were still waiting 
for the answer about were did Peter get his heaven and earth from. If I remember Don never   
stop Mel from answer anything lol. If anything he ask Mel a couple of times to please answer up about is this what you really believe in. I 
think I heard Mel say I'm not I sure I believe this or that about his own beliefs in the millennial. Maybe
we will have a five way phone to pick it apart lol it wont take long lol. I went to Mel corner and threw 
his towel in for him to stop this right here I can't take anymore. Think God I wasn't eating!!</description>

		<description>I listened to the 1st part of the debate with Don &#38; Melvin and I was not at all impressed with what Don said. Just listening to his polemic helps me to understand why proper exegesis and correlation of other passages (which Don didn't want Mel to do but did himself) helps to shed light on obscure or other isolated passages of scripture. To say that the new heavens and the new earth is now revealed and HERE in the new covenant (which by the way if one holds to his distorted view and takes it to its final conclusion, replaces ethnic Israel) is absolutely foreign and a disgrace to the integrity of scripture. If I can hold down my dinner I may try to listen to the second half.</description>

		<description>i just think its really sad when I guy who is doing so much good is being threatened and pursecuted. its really sad. I pray for Pastor Jenkins, First Lady Trina, Anatole, Ana, James, Josh, Natalie and the rest of the Jenkins family.

&lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Persecution?!?!  Please!!  Allegedly having your nephew railed on is not persecution.  Being accused of being a pimp is not persecution.  Beiing threatened for lying and pimping is not persecution.  If this fellow exists, he not doing and saying what he is doing because of John's godliness.  He's doing it because of John's sleaziness.  The saints were - and are - persecuted because they stand for Christ, first and only.  John was allegedly threatened because he is perceived to be a pimp.  You dishonor the memories of those persecuted by comparing him to them; by comparing any Christian in America to them. 

And if you are going to pray for John, &lt;del datetime="2008-07-03T15:21:55+00:00"&gt;First Lady &lt;/del&gt;Trina, and their children, pray according to Colossians 1:9,10, that they would grow in the understanding of God's will in all spiritual understanding and wisdom, that they would walk in a manner worthy of their Lord, that they would grow in the know of God.  Anything else is a waste of time for these people.  

&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

Did you think  before you responded...because if you had you would of understood that I was making a statement concerning the site and comments made by some that you where defending.I think you should also understand the old cliche that says you can throw a stone in a pack of dogs the only one that yelps is the one that got hit. Also when did I tell you what I believe?</description>

		<description>Westminster Catechism ? why would you use this thing, is their something in it that's not in the bible?

&lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Tell you what amdm, answer these questions in a few words each, and provide Scripture to back them up:

1.  What is the chief end of man? 

2.  What is God?

3.  What do the Scriptures principally teach?

4.  How many persons are there in the Godhead?

5.  What special act of providence did God exercise towards man in the estate wherein he was created?  

6.  What is sin?  

7.  Did all of mankind fall in Adam's first transgression?

8.  How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?

And remember, I want you to provide Scripture for each of you responses.  

amdm, a catechism [be it the shorter or full], provides us with a concise biblical response to common questions; the essential doctrines.  It also pimp proofs us.  How many ADULTS attending a pimp church [or just your average traditional church] can answer these question wether they ramble or try to use Scriptures?

A catechism is a way to define what you believe and why you believe it.  It's not just a Catholic thing.  

Armed with a working knowledge of the contents of the catechism, the Christian can explain and  provide more solid, biblical responses to the tough questions that the most experienced of the pimps.  And it make the average believer pimp-proof.  

Now, on the other side, if I have any problem with the Presbyterians, it's the fact that they may rely a little too much on the catechism.  &lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Mel,

If I may interject, I believe that solideogloriafella was responding to Janae, asking her to clarify what her idea of the presentation of the gospel is....Ok, back to hibernation and popcorn...

Solus Christus,

R4C
&lt;strong&gt;
(MN:  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;You are correct - as Solideogloriafella also points out. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
